The Doric is around a 30 minute walk from Central Pier and 50/60 minutes from South Pier -

However, the outdoor pool was closed after our 2nd day as you could not see your hand under the water and the filter in the indoor pool allegedly broke.

but they are algae green and also closed since yesterday.

We assumed that it would be closed because of `Covid` and so we arrived unprepared.

Although due to current restrictions things were brought forward and bars closed early this did not spoil our enjoyment of our short break.

The pool was closed which was  due to chemical issues.

Made our way down for lunch, and did notice a rather damp musty smell in the corridors and bar lounge area, put it down to the hotel being closed for a time.

as we were round the pool area nobody came and we were there till it was closed ?

Stayed at Doric hotel with large family group hoping to have great get together ,but was very disappointed with serving times told bar was closed at 11.15 when on holiday you expect later bar than that staff couldn't wait to get off .

It was really loud with the window closed.

but opened and closed pretty loudly, my sister said it was similar on the floor they were on.

Even when the bedroom double glazed windows are closed you still hear the base bang bang music in the rooms.

It was a shame the outdoor pool was closed due to the weather.

We stayed at the Doric as a last minute thing as our original hotel closed for the weekend.

We were booked into The Doric at the last minute as the hotel we were originally booked into had been closed.

The outdoor pool was closed so couldn't sample that.

If you opened the window you got noise from the extraction system if you kept it closed it was too hot.

Free drink from 12 to 10pm
Meals were excellent 
Plenty to choose from

Staff were all very nice and friendly 
Special mention to ZOE  who went and made sure my neice  was happy  with her meals

Can't wait to return to the doric
10/10

although the bathroom was a bit dated 
Food was amazing 
Staff are so friendly 
The entertainment was top  had grate time 
The all inclusive was definitely worth it 

Hopefully see you all again soon

I had requested a cot for my baby girl and after not  getting one despite asking several times and paying for an early check in I had to go looking for one and  help myself from a cupboard as it was way past her sleep time by this point.

but we weren’t very happy about two things we had a faulty window in our room we reported it to reception they said they would get it sorted out but nobody came to look at it, and the second thing was the bed was very uncomfortable it has took my partner and I a while to recover we were suffering with a sore back and shoulders and lack of sleep due to how uncomfortable the bed was.

Our only down side was the hotel was so warm inside and the heating would come on at 5am meaning I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep.

We visited during a heatwave so its unfair to comment on our sleep,

Especially advised in a room where small children were sleeping.

This is the reason I am only giving the sleep quality 2 stars as my wife and I did not sleep well at all during our stay.

Could be so much better with a mattress topper as we slept on our quilts and used a blanket.

Louise was amazing at meal times 5/5 to her.also no fans left on first night was a real pain and i couldnt sleep as room was red hot, maybe more fans should be purchased so there is enough for all guests when its hot.other than that it was a most enjoyable visit 😊 and we of course will return

Drinks machine switched off because it was cheaper than the bar..
you could hear next door snoring as walls are paper thin..
And the pigeon at 4 am at the window stopped us getting sleep.

lift did,not work one night .pigeons were at windows from 4 am could,not sleep.

Had a terrible nights sleep on both nights.

The room we were aloted was at the side of the Old Uncle Toms, No sleep because of the Racket coming from the Disco There, Last time I looked at the Clock was 3am, and I had a Big next Day.

The only downside was super soft bed, I cannot sleep on those.

but we had a leek above our daughter's bed on the second day a roof tile was removed but still leaking infomed reception but nothing was done meaning out little girl had to sleep with us..nice hotel and bar just a shame about our room!

The floorboards creek so much that I was woken everytime someone walked down the hallway outside and the loud fan/air con system outside makes it difficult to sleep with the window open. However.

Even with the window open the heat was terrible and the radiator was so hot you could not even touch it (I don’t know why there was not a working valve to turn it off in the room so not a lot of sleep, we went down to reception for a fan at midnight which made a slight difference.

Another great stay last week at the doric upgraded our room to sea view good food both breakfast and dinner the staff in restaraunt are a credit to the hotel, rooms cleaned everyday great location tram stop right outside hotel  only fault is only ever one lift working

Our 2nd visit to the Doric Hotel this year, we found the rooms very clean and comfortable,as was the whole Hotel,we were looked after in the dining room by the lovely Louise,who like the rest of the staff are very hard working, to make sure guests are looked after, 
Thank you to all the staff for an amazing stay. P.S.

The rooms are very nice and clean, both pools, spa, steam room, and sauna where spotless, we found the whole Hotel to be a great experience for a relaxing holiday.Thank you to all the staff and management.

Nothing was too much trouble and she always greeted us with a smile.

but this was dealt  with in a timely manner.

I checked in with ease and was greeted with a warm smile

even though the  lift had broke I thought the staff worked hard the food was great as allways and louise the waitress was excellent even made me a pot of coffee wen I came down to take outside  as hubby was asleep nothing is to much trouble for the staff thanks to you all a great weekend

Waitress staff all very well mannered and pleasant.

Perfect hotel for singles , couples &
Families, Always greeted by a beautiful smile from Steff at front of house .

The food was delicious and staff fantastic, I would like to give a special mention to our main server Louise, she went out of her way to ensure we were all seated together and also decorated the area with banners and balloons which was a lovely touch!

A big thank you to Louise, for all she did helping make our parents 70th wedding anniversary so special.

Tram and bus stops outside , or a good healthy walk into town , for young and old an excellent venue , only down side is put a few pounds on as the food is very high quality and plenty of it !! !

We had pre-paid so just the key to collect and the easy lift to the first floor for our executive room which was spacious, clean lots of storage and a hug bathroom with a walk in shower.

but quick walk through the lounge and greeted by friendly reception staff.

The menu was good and the food came very quick
The upgrade to all inclusive was worth the money
Hotel is about 20 minutes walk to north pier

Swimming pool  steam room fab.enjoyed walk into blackpool.perfect location.

Real value for money at the North end of Blacpool, easy walking to Bispham.

You can walk from the hotel to the Tower in around 30 minutes or the tram ride is only £2.

It is a fair walk to the livelier area North Pier about 20-30 minutes walk at average pace

Will be back again hopefully this time will get a twin room with walk in shower and a view.

Well its my 1st visit at the Doric Hotel and as soon as we walked through the door they had hand sanitizer facilities which is good with the pandemic happening right now the cleaning staff are always cleaning the high touched areas door handles etc so it's safe for the guests to have a safe stay.

The doric had sent me an email saying our room will be next to the lift so won't need to walk far.

Location: At the edge of the illumination, a pleasant walk into town or a short trip on the tram.

The two lovely ladies (Louise and Dawn)  in the restaurant pulled out all the stops for our little girl and decorated her table so when she walked into the restaurant she was amazed!

as soon as walk in the girls on the desk look smile and are so nice to a old punk that's checking in, always smiling when i get them confused about who in the party the never flacker & have a laugh with me when this happens,

20 minutes walk to Blackpool and 10 minutes to little Biston.

Luckily the weather was good for us to have plenty of walks on the promenade 
We will return

but a nice walk although trams are right outside.

but this time it was not a good experience both of the lifts out of order  and the swimming pool was out of order food was average the wall was damp in the bedroom I will consider  choosing another hotel next year

Cons - the room was pretty tatty, very old furniture, wallpaper peeling off the wall, and very small.

The hairdryer in our room was fixed to the wall.

The wall paper missing in places and don't think the curtains have been changed since 1989 as they were old n faded.

Being surrounded by walls, airflow was non-existent so the room was stuffy (no air conditioning in this room - not sure if available in other, more expensive rooms).

Loved the old pictures of blackpool up, make them stand out more with white walls used more.

We parked at the side of the hotel the only problem was we had to get the guest in front of us to move there car so we could leave so I think a better system for parking would of been better as all spaces at front were taken also there is a brick wall as you turn in which if your a driver like me you might struggle to get into the car park lol.

in one place the carpet did not reach the wall and carpet gripper was visible, and there were bits of crisps on the carpet.

There were no seat in the changing cubicle and there were green mould up the brick walls near the Jacuzzi.

The room we stayed in had wallpaper coming off the wall in places and the decor could do to be updated.

but unless you're coming to stare at the walls and carpets don't let this put you off!

Couple of wee things hairdryer in room was awful it was the old style that was attached to the wall didn't ever dry my hair and the kids entertainer wasn't the best it would start off ok

but the windowsills were dirty, view of fan and outdoor area with pigeons no sea view at all - room was too hot no where to turn heating down so had to open window all night - entertainment noise coming up to room - hole in the back of bathroom door, walls and carpet dirty bathroom very outdated - don't think it was worth the money at all and my sons birthday was ruined because of the awful room.glad we reduced our stay down to 2 nights and did not stay the 4.

but my son had just fallen asleep and the room they was going to move us in to had damp on the wall near to the beds and next to a very busy lift so i felt it would be no better.

The walls were so thin that I couldn't sleep because I heard my neighbour breathing,

On the 2nd night there was a private party on   -with thundering   deafening music  - vibrating & banging  through the walls & ceiling -  on till till the early hours of the morning . Rang the night porter - asking to turn it down- reply -"sorry cant do anything."

Also in our bedroom, when we moved our Son's bed against the wall, the floor underneath was in desperate need of a hoover.

Fetched my little girl an ice bucket of water so she could play in the shade with her fish and net on Friday.

Having paid for early check in we took the kids to the outdoor pool which was coloured like 6!day old water which was unhygienic and a joke.

If the outdoor pool is anything like the indoor pool, you won’t want to go in the murky bleach smelling water anyway.

On checking out a gentleman was forcibly complaining about this at reception and was told they'd had a problem with the boiler

Our bathroom had no cold water for the first night meaning we couldn’t shower for the first day or morning after because we’d have burnt ourselves.

We were wakened on Thursday morning by water dripping from our room ceiling.

The hot  water in the bathroom was hot and instant.

The shower is tempromental with the water varying from boiling to cold depending on who else in a room close by is also using the water at the same tim.

So so expensive to 1.50 for abit if cordial and water 😬 only great experience we had was with our waitress Louise she was fantastic she went above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed my toddler wasn’t really eating much so she’d get bananas for her or yogurts entertainment is just the exact same as it was last year.

The water pressure and the general plumbing needs tightened upgraded (our toilet flush broke the last day)
A few design easy fixes would be great
Firstly whilst it’s table service only, be clear if that means service outside or not and perhaps invest in ordering via your phone so your staff don’t have to do laps

but make sure you take a drink of water up to bed with you to save you wandering around the lobby at 3am to go to the vending machine hahaha!!

Breakfast was spot on to,
The only reason I haven't rated 5 was due to no cold water in our rooms,
We was unable to shower or bath just boiling hot water,apart from that all good 😊

The shower was a fine spray mist and a little trickle.

Initial problem with no water the first night was sorted immediately by James and we were moved to a family room for the remainder of our stay.

The rooms were cleaned everyday we had a problem with the cold water via the mixer shower which was a bit fiddly to get correct temperature for any shower , I reported it in the morning and it was fixed by afternoon.

The lift is very small and only fits 2 people and the corridors are boiling hot.

The carpet was torn in places and the floor underneath was actually missing a section.

Broken toilet seat

Dirty and frayed net curtain 
Damp and cold room 
Draft coming through the rotting window frame 
Loads of hair in sink plug hole 
BREAKFAST 
Nasty cheap ingredients 
Cold and cooked 2 hours before eating 
Coffee that is like tarmac 
Nothing good about this place.

but they do need some TLC all the wallpaper in our room was peeling off with big cracks in the walls and the carpets were very worn and also in my mums room there was a leak from the room above on the ceiling.

The room was cold and smelly and the duvet is like a carpet inside a cover.

The rooms are dated,wallpaper coming off in corners mold on the windows carpet dirty with lots of stains,the bathroom old and nasty things broken and held together by silicone, room smelt damp.

Carpet worn, hotel could really do with a bit of TLC.

It could have been a bit cleaner- there were bits on the carpet and in the shower.

this is the dirtiest,hotel we have ever visited,woman on front desk ignorant,needs lessons in dealing with the public,breakfast passable,carpets stained also bed linen,the smell in room was vile,book here at your peril

The carpet was well worn with burn marks and god knows what else.

The twin room I stayed in was small (my bathroom at home is bigger and I live in a terraced house, not a mansion)  Although the carpet did look fairly new, the room was dark, oppressive and smelly.

Carpet old and torn, wallpaper stained & very dated.

.dirty stains on carpets, dirty marks round switches, dirty mirror, ceiling tile missing pipes above showing.

The carpet looked as if it hadn't ever been shampooed, it was so badly stained.

Mouldy Carpets, mouldy rotting doors and absolutely stank of cigarette smoke (bearing in mind smoking was banned around 5 years ago).

we have just come back from this hotel after new year break and we will never stay here again the room may of had a new carpet and tv

Friendly service yet the conditions of the room were below standard, the carpet was never introduced to the hoover and the bathroom was very very dirty I was scared to use it.

The carpets were worn and stained and the shower room was a bit grubby.

The decor was a mix of green stained shag pile carpet and ancient flock wallpaper.

It was table service and the staff were very friendly.

Comfortable beds, nice breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff.

Kev was very helpful and polity and all staff was so friendly the waitresses work so hard and can’t do enough.

We would like to thank all the staff for a friendly and welcoming stay, we will certainly be going back 😄

great,
friendly and helpful staff at all times.

Staff friendly and bend over backwards to accommodate their guests.

Helpful, friendly staff who go above and beyond to make sure you have the best time.

We booked for a weekend break, great hotel, friendly and polite staff who couldn't do enough for you.

Nice friendly welcome.rooms spotless nice bar area as for the breakfast..it was fab with lovely friendly staff.

We arrived early and our rooms were ready so we could check in, reception staff are great and super friendly and knowledgeable.

Marcin on the evenings again was always willing to do what he could and his friendly banter was always welcoming.

Julie is brilliant only too happy to accommodate your every need she's really nice ( a true northerner like myself lol) always friendly and eager to help you with any request you may ask for.

Breakfast was lovely and the restaurant staff very friendly, and tended to any requests made, such as well cooked bacon etc.

In fact the whole team are very friendly and cant do enough to help you.

Really friendly and welcoming from booking in till leaving.

From the moment we stepped into the hotel, julie the manager was very friendly and made us feel welcome.

Stayed for 1 night, friendly staff, good sized clean room and ensuite with shower.

Had our reunion there last weekend as always Julie and the staff were amazing the rooms are spotless the breakfast is amazing and the staff are second to none itsnin a great location has a well stocked bar and the best welcome in blackpool thank you all

We had a family room and this was located on the first floor facing the main road.

Good location, close to south end of Blackpool.

Having just returned from spending 3 nights at the Beechfield we found the location of the hotel was perfect for our needs.

but will not be the last, location is fantastic being a 2 min walk from everything in the North pier area but just far enough removed to be away from the noise and crowds

Ideal location for everything that Blackpool has to offer.

Absolutely outstanding hotel perfectly located.

Hotel is in an excellent location only 5 minutes walk into the centre, staff are lovely and accommodating.

Fabulous hotel good location near to the tower coral island and shops around the tower area like primark bon marche theres a McDonalds facing coral island we got the bus behind coral island to cleveleys for the day which is good for shopping too!!

You could not pick a nicer location either.

Sutuated just behind The Tower making it a very central location.

Good location for the sights of Blackpool .

Great hotel , secure parking , perfect location to walk to most of  attractions.

The hotel is situated in a perfect location in walking distance to slot of attractions.

Very good location for seafront, attractions and nightlife.

Lovely staff, good position near the town centre, and on-site parking - which is otherwise a nightmare in the area.

Positives - staff were great and accommodating, beds were comfortable enough and location was great.

This place is excellent, the location is perfect, close enough to everything without being too close if that makes sense.

Spend 5 nights at this hotel, location is good close to coral island among other attractions.

Stayed here last w/end - attending 
Int Soul Fest - good location 
Nice & very clean,good breakfast 
Lovely staff & Julie the concierge is the best - will definitely stay here again - recommend The Beechfield

Very local to The Tower & Wintergarden area with good parking onsite which

Parking for 2 nights £14
We stayed in room 1 that had 2 single beds toe to toe which was ground floor my partner was in a wheelchair the room wasn’t great for someone that as mobility issue and in a wheelchair not enough room, the bedding and all was clean

Hotel is lovely, parking is super, staff are fantastic, breakfast ok

Parking facilities at the hotel were very good.

Also plenty of parking spaces, which is good valve when you look at other parking in blackpool.

Staff were great , breakfast fantastic , beer reasonable priced and car parking  just over the road, with a small cost,

No problem parking as huge car park at £5 night which is reassuring as it has lots of cctv.

She also gave us a room facing the tower so our little boy could see it lit up at night. The parking was only a tenna for two full days and nights and it was so easy (not like some Blackpool car parks where you have to drive down a tiny little back road and play Tetris with your car!)

Onsite private parking fees were £5.00 per day,

Car parking is also available for either 5.00 a night or 15.00 for entire stay, and for a excellent price like this, it’s better to do for the entire stay.

Car parking available to all guests at £5 per night or up to a maximum of £15 per stay if you were there for a week or 2 weeks.

A big plus is the hotel has its own parking which is rare in this part of Blackpool.

it seems that they have knocked down the wall to ceate more parking space.It is like a building site.Staff friendly and hard working.

Also on site parking which was so much better than most had to offer.

Even the parking (which has a small charge) is a god send compared to parking anywhere else in Blackpool.

Parking was ample too, which is a massive bonus, given the area.

It has its own off road parking which is a must in Blackpool,

The bar was well stocked with food and snacks and drinks and they had some homemade Blackpool rock

Our room had bits of food on the bedroom floor when we arrived.

The restaurant area for breakfast is large and very nice the breakfast is great and more than enough the staff were great very friendly and always very helpful especially Martin with a g!!

If you want to know THE best places to eat then you must ask 'The Oracle', Julie, she knows all the places to go & she recommended the  Yorkshire Fisheries for proper fish & chips.

.oh and all you can eat breakfast,which was yummy .

The entire place is a place away from home and somewhere you can always be close to the local amenities and always be able to get some decent food and a good laugh as well from Julie and the rest of the team.

Rooms are excellent as is the food , well stocked and varied bar.

Breakfast is always well presented and tasty.

Food has been good with a full english every day.

We didn’t try the food as £15pp per night felt quite excessive so we chose to eat out most nights.
