While the location is superb with beautiful Nepalese music in the background at the restaurant, the dining experience might lack variety.

The hotel is ideally situated on the outskirts of Blackpool, a stone's throw away from events at The Waterloo, on the promenade, and near Bloomfield Road stadium. The rooms boast very comfortable beds, offering a great night's sleep. The service, with a welcome drink, is exceptional. However, the dining experience with smoked fish could be more diverse. The facilities, though, are top-notch with everything you need for a pleasant stay.
