Hy Hotel Lytham St Annes , BW Premier Collection

These apartments are modern and stylish (no chintz or ratty old florals in sight). Our apartment was clean and warm and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well- equipped and sufficient for a short stay and the supermarkets, pier and town were a few minutes walk. There is also a park across the road. The pool was also lovely and the time-slot booking system meant we had it to ourselves which was great. All in all it was very good value and suited us for a stay with two small children. We would definitely stay here again. Just a couple of things to note: Firstly, it can be a bit noisy (banging doors and people moving around above). This is not unusual for apartments but if you are a light sleeper perhaps ask for rooms on the top floor. Secondly, there’s not much storage or hanging space. This isn’t a big problem if you’re only there for a day or two and we mentioned it to the staff so hopefully this will be rectified. less

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend to allow us to explore the local area and visit local attractions and for that reason the Hy Hotel seemed a good choice. Externally this property looks promising and the location and parking is good although we did awake to find our parking space also doubled as a bin store. Initially we were allocated room 311 and told it was at the top of the property. We soon discovered the lift was out of order but were offered no assistance with our suitcases. On arrival at room 311 we found the blinds broken and cords snapped and so the room was dark and the blinds unable to be used. A broken hook was left with the screws in on the tiny dining table. The “sofa” was so uncomfortable and it felt like you were in a waiting room. The whole place smelled damp and the when lifting the blinds to see what was on the other side you have to question whether this was why it had been broken as we overlooked unfinished apartments and general building rubbish. My husband went to reception and asked if they had any other available rooms. To our surprise they had a large ground floor apartment free which overlooked the park in block 4 which they instantly swapped us into. I am unsure why you would not allocate this from the start and can only assume it was due to our booking being through a Travelzoo deal. The second apartment whilst appearing much better had its own issues but was a vast improvement on the first. There was more space, comfier seating and at least we could shut the curtains and blinds. However this is not five star accommodation. The finish is appalling and the logic behind the interior design confusing and impractical. Why have a mirror adjacent to a dressing table so that you have to sit sideways?! Wall lights that look similar but don’t match with different style and colour bulbs. A bathroom shelf that fills with water and doesn’t drain. A kitchen with washing up liquid but no cloth to clean with. No tea or coffee. Towels that smell damp and furniture covered in dust. A stench of drains in the bathroom. Tv cables dangling from wall mounted TVs. The biggest annoyance was the doors throughout the building. None are sealed well or have soft close fixtures and so the banging of doors resonates through the building. The droughts blowing under gaps in the door make it very chilly and you can hear literally every word as people walk through the hallway. For all of these reasons we would not stay here again. The staff at the Hy Hotel however are polite and obliging and the pool was lovely. The booking system was great and worked well. The location is good for St Anne’s and Blackpool and traffic noise is surprisingly minimal. less

Our 2 bed apartment was spotless and extremely well presented. Wished we had booked for 2 nights instead! Great location for both Lytham and if you want to nip into Blackpool as we did, about a 50min walk to the Pleasure Beach. Highly recommend less

We have just had a short visit to these apartments. We found them great value for money in a good location to get out and about from. The sea front is a short walk down the road and lovely Lytham only a few minutes drive away. We used the apartments as a base and they are perfect for a few nights. The kitchenette is handy and supermarket is across the road along with Costa coffee and a small cafe etc. The swimming pool was a big hit with the children and the jacuzzi for ourselves. The booking slots seem to work well given the current circumstances. All staff seemed to be very friendly that we came across. We would definitely stay again if in the area. less

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights with our dog after getting a deal through TravelZoo. We paid just £99 for our stay. I booked a 1 bed king apartment but were allocated a 2 bed apartment. The apartment was on the top floor (room 309) and had plenty of space although we didn’t use the second bedroom. The location is great, just 5 minutes walk to the sea front... and what a beach! It’s also just a few minutes walk from the restaurants on Wood Street. We had a couple of minor issues with the accommodation - the ice box in the fridge needed to be de-iced and the sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable to sit on but all-in-all we were happy with our stay. Hand sanitiser was available in both reception and the hallway but didn’t appear to work. The apartment was well-equipped with a fridge, cooker, cooking pans and utensils and it also had a washing machine. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. The bathroom was clean and had plenty of towels but the water temperature was a bit erratic. At the right price we would return. less
