A man stayed in the cheapest hotel in the UK for £16-a-night - and said he'd go again.
George Redfern, 21, spent the night in Coco Beach Hotel, in Blackpool, on June 14, 2024.
The hotel has a two star rating on Booking.com and for £16.20-a-night it is the cheapest hotel in the UK.
George says the accommodation wasn't as bad as he expected and he had a pleasant night.
George, a content creator, from the Wirral, Merseyside, said: “It surprised me how clean it was for a hotel that cheap, and I probably would stay there again.
“If I was to give a rating it would probably be a three and a half out of five.
"Probably because the space of the room and the shower system.”
George booked a room at Coco Beach Hotel in Blackpool after searching for the UK's cheapest hotel.
When he got there, he said: “I knew a bit of what I looked like, and I knew it was going to be a run down hotel. I knew it wasn't going to be the nicest."
"It took about five minutes to get into the hotel because the landlord’s phone was broken.
"Someone from another hotel knew who he was, and they managed to get him.”
When he got to his room, George said the room was generally clean but claims there was some marks on the curtains.
He said: “For the price it was a clean, but there was marks on the curtains, and I noticed that quite early.
"It was spray on the wall - it will be probably put other people off.
“I got free towel, coffee facilities. There wasn’t much room in the room itself. The bed was clean, and the floor was clean but the shower didn’t get to hot.”

00:00I'm going to be staying at the cheapest hotel in the UK.
00:03I'm staying at this hotel in Blackpool for £16 a night, that is £8 per person, crazy.
00:10I am staying at the Cocoa Beach Hotel.
00:18Just checked in, let's have a look at the room.
00:21So starting off, we've got a nice double bed with two towels,
00:27with soap and some hair and body wash.
00:31We have this railing.
00:33As we can see, the door's not in the best condition.
00:38Looks like it's been smashed through here.
00:41Hot drink facilities.
00:43We've got some milk, coffee, sugar, two mugs.
00:50We've got a lamp.
00:53There you go.
00:54There we've got a sink, literally right next to the bed.
00:59So is that good? I guess so.
01:01Let's check it's working.
01:03Yeah, everything's working there.
01:05This looks like a prison mirror.
01:07Let's just, first of all, let's have a look.
01:11So you see there's some marks here, a few little marks.
01:15Mattress is a bit old and springy.
01:20Ooh, I think we've just found blood.
01:33It's not too bad.
01:34Just noticed more blood on the curtains.
01:39Let's show the floor.
01:41Yeah, you can literally just pick the floor up, the carpet.
01:44As you can see, I'm in the bathroom.
01:47Toilet is very clean.
01:51That's good.
01:52Shower.
01:55It's a bit, it's not the best shower.
01:57Like, what's that, a shower head?
02:00Could be something from a farm.
02:02Good morning.
02:04I haven't had the best sleep, but it's more the people who are sleeping here were too loud.
02:10I've just noticed that suspected blood all up the wall.
02:16That is disgusting.
02:18Let it run now for about three minutes and it's not getting any warmer.
02:24My shower was a big fail.
02:26So now I'm going to my prison corner and give myself a little wash.
02:31Well, I was going to use this cup, but it's dirty.
02:36It is time to check out of the prison.
02:39It's time to check out of this hotel.
02:43I've had a lovely stay.
02:57Get me out of here.
03:02And that was my stay at the cheapest hotel in the UK.
