The TV's Freeview didn't work, so the owner gave us a Firestick logged into his own Netflix account. Amazing!

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests at The Golden Sands often highlight the spacious and clean rooms, some of which feature convenient amenities like a fridge, which some found particularly helpful. The hotel's location offers a quieter experience, with easy access to the Gynn Square tram station, Co-op, and various food options; the Blackpool centre is about a mile's walk away. While most found parking adequate, a few guests experienced difficulty finding immediate street parking on arrival. Many appreciate the reasonable price and the option to bring their dogs, with some rooms even providing brewing facilities and a TV.

I loved that our beautiful double room had a fridge. It was a total game changer for me. the beds were super comfy, and the whole place was really clean and tidy. the breakfast was fantastic! (i especially liked the variety) the location was perfect, a quiet spot away from the noisy areas. i appreciated being so close to the co-op, food places, the tram stop, and the beach, all within a minute's walk.

The water in the sink wasn't quite hot enough for my liking. It was more lukewarm than anything.
