Thank you
Pros:

Just returmed again from a lovely break at the Ruskin. Food was lovely. Room was comfortable with fresh towels every day. Entertainment was excellent with Sean starring in the Shuh show where he may have found his vocation. Bar staff and reception warm and friendly. Special shout out to Jordan, Richard, Connor Bex, and Chistine. Coming back again in June and booked Oct and Feb next year so get those pina coladas stocked up x

Thank you!
Pros:

I have been visiting the Ruskin for 23 years and have always been really impressed with the food and staff. The staff are all very helpful, special mention to Chris on reception for helping us book for our return visit next year and saving us money, really appreciate your help and the savings - he was amazing. Nice touches of gifts and wine this year. The restaurant and bar staff are also exceptional! Looking forward to coming back next March. Thank you 😊

Pros:

Good location for the Winter Gardens and the Tower. Staff consistently warm, welcoming and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. Room was clean and comfortable although a bit hot without any heating on! I had to use a fan! Better than being cold! Stayed for dinner and breakfast, food was really good and excellent value for money. No problems with noise. Entertainment was very good. Would definitely stay again

Amazing for years and continues to be…
Pros:

To the “Famous Ruskin Hotel”

My name is mr G. Nordin , and I would just like to express my sincere gratitude to the people that made my stay at the Ruskin Hotel in Bkackpool and unforgettable visit.
But the story goes back way longer that just a quick weekend trip to Blackpool.
I have been coming to Bkackpool for the last 37 years , and for the past 25 years been very lucky to have been staying at the Ruskin Hotel located in the middle of the town centre in Albert Road.
During my visits to the Ruskin Hotel I have always been treated as a VIP guest, with all my requests fulfilled. Unconditional .
They have fantastic food, drinks snacks and a well presented breakfast. But most of my gratitude must go to the staff at the hote and its owners.
. But not only the staff , most importantly must be mentioned how you will get treated at the reception area when you first arrive.
One can only say that the reception staff is really making the first impression a tremendous impact on my visits and most likely on all guest.
Every time I arrive I am truly treated as a 5 Star guest with its nice welcome.
Last but not least my sincere thanks must go to my almost private assistant Lynn, that makes my stay in Bkackpool and at the Ruskin Hotel an unforgettable visit.
I am not an easy person to please, but they are always trying to fulfill my demands.
I can easily say that my visits to Bkackpool will never be the same unless I am staying at the Ruskin where I feel totally welcome every time. I would gladly recommend for any guest to have the sane experience every time I visit Blackpool.
Since I come nearly 6 times a year, it’s undoubtedly the best experience I ever had in any hotels.

Yours Sincerely
A truly valuable customer.

Mr G.Nordin
