'I stayed in low rated £16-a-night Blackpool hotel and I'd go back'

A man stayed in the cheapest hotel in the UK for £16-a-night - and said he'd go again.

George Redfern, 21, spent the night in Coco Beach Hotel, in Blackpool, on June 14, 2024. The hotel has a two star rating on Booking.com and for £16.20-a-night it is the cheapest hotel in the UK.

George says the accommodation wasn't as bad as he expected and he had a pleasant night. George, a content creator, said: "It surprised me how clean it was for a hotel that cheap, and I probably would stay there again.

"If I was to give a rating it would probably be a three and a half out of five. Probably because the space of the room and the shower system.”

George booked a room at Coco Beach Hotel in Blackpool after searching for the UK's cheapest hotel. When he got there, he said: "I knew a bit of what I looked like, and I knew it was going to be a run down hotel. I knew it wasn't going to be the nicest.

"It took about five minutes to get into the hotel because the landlord’s phone was broken. Someone from another hotel knew who he was, and they managed to get him.”

When he got to his room, George, from the Wirral, said the room was generally clean but claims there was some marks on the curtains.

He said: "For the price it was a clean, but there was marks on the curtains, and I noticed that quite early. It was spray on the wall - it will be probably put other people off.

"I got free towel, coffee facilities. There wasn’t much room in the room itself. The bed was clean, and the floor was clean but the shower didn’t get to hot."
