Empress Select Holiday Flats

Just returned from our annual stay in Flat 8; our children love it here. Tim is always wonderful-great communication prior to our visit and always a warm welcome with his recommendations of where to go! Apartment is always immaculate, cosy and warm. Super location as it’s quiet but close enough to all the attractions with a tram stop a minutes walk away. We will be back! 5⭐️

We booked apartments 1,3,5 and 7 as a large family group. The owner Tim was exceptionally helpful, met us at the apartments to show us where to park and offer us recommendations for local eateries. We did have 1 issue of a broken slat on a sofa bed. I phoned Tim and couldn't believe that by the end of the day when we returned there was a brand new John Lewis sofa bed and the old one gone! Tim kept me updated during the day on the situation and couldn't be more apologetic - what great service! My son also said the new sofa bed was extremely comfortable. The apartments were clean, tidy and comfortable and were perfect for what we needed. Very handy to have tram stop a 2 minute walk away and easy transport to all the amenities. Had a great 5 days in Blackpool and wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Empress should we return again.

Great accommodation. Good size. Two rooms which was great with have kids.Close to a fantastic cafe and tram stop at the end of the road. Also somewhere to leave the car so happily use the tram services Highly recommend

We were so pleased with the flat ,it was spacious and clean and very comfortable and in a very quiet area .We had flat 5 which sleeps 3 ,a double bed and a sofa bed in living room as well as an arm chair , has a sea view ,the kitchen area had everything in it ,there was an area in the living room to hang your clothes and loads of coat hangers and a round table to sit at to eat . There were towels provided & lovely clean crisp bedding ,with a good sized chest of drawers .Tim the owner met us when we arrived to give us our key and to explain how to use the key pad to access the building ,he was so nice and gave great advice as to where to eat etc .The flat is up on flight of stairs but was no problem to us ,we knew this when we booked . There is a Tram stop at the end of the road ,a 1 minute walk ,we purchased the full week tram tickets that were £22 a person ,but it meant we could hop on and off the trams or buses when ever we wanted it was good value for 7 days . There is parking at the back for 4 cars but I think Tim can give you a parking permit if you park out on the street . You have to pay for electric via a meter whilst using the flat £1 coins ,we weren't in the flat much but Tim said 50p would go a long way if you didn't over use the electric ie the cooker ,the microwave ,TVs there were 2 in our flat but we weren't there to watch TV we wanted to explore Blackpool ,and we ate out all the time, so didn't use the cooker or microwave . There is a hair drier provided ,an Iron and Ironing board ,and a clothes drier . Room around the double bed is quite narrow so not really suitable for anyone with mobility issues .The bathroom is small but very clean the shower has several settings and you can make it very hot if you like it like that . We will definitely stay again .

Very good contact. We advised we would arrive early and asked if we could park up and check in later.When we got there Tim met us and told us he had arranged for the room to be cleaned early so it was ready when we got there. Everything you need in the room we were in room 2, on the ground floor. The apartment was clean and plenty big enough for a couple of days. just a 2 min walk to the tram stop.Overall a lovely couple of days

Lovely little apartment, I went with my son and my friend and stayed in Apartment 6. The room was lovely and clean, beds were comfy, and Tim our host was absolutely wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable about the area and attractions too. He kept good contact prior to and during our stay. He even picked us up from the station when we arrived, which was amazing of him. And his Jack Russell Ruby is precious! The building is very close to the tram stop as well, which is perfect for trips into Blackpool. Our tram tickets were very well used by the end of our stay!

Thanks for a lovely, comfortable stay at the Empress Flats. Hope to book, again in the future. The apartment was perfect for myself and my daughter with everything in it we needed for a great stay in Blackpool.

Booked a one night stay and unfortunately the day before my child become really unwell with chicken pox. I booked with *********** yes a non refundable rate however I called them on the off chance they would refund even the cleaning fee. They said under the circumstances they would refund the full amount if the owner agreed. Shock horror she didn’t agree, has no compassion very straight to the point uninterested in helping. In this current climate I could do without loosing £100 as well as park tickets. The flats are apparently booked every weekend until September so she’s hardly loosing much. I’m so disappointed that Rene has no kindness to show a young family. I’ll never ever rebook with you, disgusting to not even refund the cleaning fee.

Absolutely love it here. Tim is fantastic, he went above and beyond for our stay. We were able to get in early which was great. Room was lovely had eveything we needed, really good location. Will definitely come here again and would 100% recommend it.
