Great stay, cheap, what more do you need.
Pros:

The host was very approachable, friendly and helpful. Good size room. Comfy bed. Walls are thin but that didn’t bother us. Close to everything you need.

Terrible B&B
Pros:

Absolutely nothing. Checking out was the best part!

Cons:

The smashed front door
The broken lock on the bedroom door appears to have been bust from outside. I asked the owner if our stuff would be OK in the room for him to if we have anything expensive !
The vile smell in the room
The sock covering the smoke alarm
The broken furniture in the room
The dirty room
Overloaded & broken electric sockets
Cash only payment
It's more like a halfway house l than a B&B, and I felt very unsafe here, especially with a young teen.
Based on the previous reviews, this isn't what I was expecting at all. I have no idea how this place is rated very good, it was absolutely shocking. At the price I paid wasn't expecting the Ritz but definitely wasn't expecting what we got either.

Great value for money, friendly place.
Pros:

Super friendly host, very accommodating. Room was lovely and clean, towels provided which was a nice touch. Tea and coffee too. Clearly a well looked after place. Would definitely choose to stay here again, great value for money.

Cons:

corridors are narrow so gets a bit uncomfy if you bump into someone in passing. Very very warm which I suppose would usually be cozy but in summer was a bit stuffy and we were woken up to the neighbours being very loud at 3am (doing exactly what you can imagine), not the hotels fault but just a heads up as there were kids during our time there.

Perfect for the price
Pros:

The room was very clean I actually live in Blackpool. my boiler flooded my house so I made a last minute booking for the night. The room was clean and tidy with an ensuit bathroom/shower room couldn't of asked for a better little room for the price it was well worth it. Pretty sure it was a memory foam mattress as well.

Last minute booking turned out to be a good choice.
Pros:

This is the first time I've stayed in Palatine Road and it's definitely the best street in the central area. The houses are better quality. I liked the plain wooden doors in the Sunset, which are period appropriate. My room was pleasant and cosy, with a wardrobe, chair, bedside lamp, and ample drinks supplies. The bed had a good quality mattress and was super comfortable. The bathroom was clean, there was hot water, and everything worked properly.

Cons:

My booking was last minute and made very late at night. I picked the Sunset because its info said you could check in up to midnight, which is unusually late for a privately run place. Only when I got there the door was locked and when I rang the phone number provided I didn't get an answer, it fact it didn't even ring. Thankfully when I knocked loudly another member of staff appeared, a lady, who was very nice and helpful and saw me to my room. I saw the manager on my way out next morning and he was most apologetic and said there had been a problem with the phone network. I can well believe this as the mobile signal in Blackpool is frequently terrible. I would definitely stay here again, but would try and arrive earlier.

No water
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

There was no cold water to be able to have a drink . The cold water tap was running warm .
The walls are far to thin we could hear people snoring and coughing like we were in the same room as them .
Dirty walls needs cleaning .
Staff no where to be seen not even a reception.

Basic but comfortable & clean
Pros:

After messaging the accommodation owners via Booking.com we were able to check in early, this was a great help & the man who met us on arrival was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The accommodation was basic, dated decor but clean and comfortable. Our room was on the top floor & was quite small but big enough for our needs.

Cons:

Could have done with real signs for room numbers, not just paper stuck on the door. Not a major issue though, just not aesthetically pleasing.

Good stay
Pros:

The host was absolutely amazing and helpful. The location was also very good. It is a good option for the price.

Cons:

We were on the third floor, and wifi was not working properly in our room. The room was small and the bed was very small for 2 people, it was good for one person, however I have to say for the paid price, it is not fair to expect much more.
