We stayed as a family for my daughters wedding. I have to say the rooms are a little dated and in need of refreshment, but were very clean and comfortable. Further more if you are expecting a 'Penthouse' for £120.00 per night you will be dissapionted, what you will get is a large room with a great sized bathroom that is clean and comfortable, and yes the TV's are not 50" plasmas, but the rooms are very much in line with the valuation. The staff throughout the hotel were really friendly and very helpful, without exception! Good old Northern hospitality. We ate there on the Friday evening and it was very good and in expensive. Good selection of both Hot and Cold breakfast, which was very welcome on both Mornings.
Not a big fan of large group owned hotels but this is absolutly fine for family get togethers an offers suberb value for money!

We stayed here in August this year. We were given a pitch view room which was great, except i found the bed to be uncomfortable due to the fact that it was a fold away bed that goes up into a cupboard and locked away on match days so that these rooms can be used as boxes.
Found the hotel staff to be mostly friendly and pleasant but were run off their feet on our 2nd night due to being understaffed and our evening meal being a bit of a dissapointment.
We booked an online offer for 2 night room only then added 2 days breakfast and evening meal which came in at £103.90, really good deal we thought and paid it all up front by credit card......until the statement came in and the hotel had actually taken £148.90.
When i seen this i rang the hotel and they said sorry it had been "a blip" on there website, that it should have been £148.90 but obviously they would have to honour it and refund £45 to my card....which they didnt do.
When we arrived i explained this and told them to put on my room credit for drinks at the bar.....no problem you would think until we checked out and they tried to charge us another £46.10 for drinks !!!!! Got it sorted in the end with only a 20p final bill but felt that it spoilt are stay with them.

What a fantastic place to stay! From check in to check out we were made to feel very welcome & relaxed.Having rooms overlooking the pitch was amazing ( even though there wasn't a game on)
The hotel is spotless throughout including the pool & leisure facilities.
We ate in the reflections bar, where both the food & service were superb.
I can't believe a hotel of this quality is so affordable.will definitely return again.
Faultless.

My wife and I stayed for 1 night prior to a business meeting in the Reebok. We struck lucky with room 123 a corner room and it was a good size. However, when we checked in on the reception desk was a sign stating "you will be charged if you eat your own food in the room!! Hmmm, how they will police this is a question that jumps to mind? and so my mind wanders to 'we are at the Reebok Stadium, footy, so would it be possible for a bunch of lads staying over to support their team to bring a can of beer ... or two into the room rather than pay the inflated prices of the hotel bar? ....Nah, would never happen!
The bathroom is a little light on the toiletries, my wife couldn't find a shower cap, but then the lads here for the Bolton Wanders home match would only use the shower cap to keep the ice in?
I found the bed soft and my back niggled as a result but then I like a firm mattress.
The staff were great, if you need to be at the Reebok Stadium then you can't get any closer

An unusual location for this modern, slightly upmarket hotel that forms one end of Bolton Wanderers FC's ground. Typical 3/4 star accommodation with all mod cons, but definitely atypical if you get a room that looks onto the floodlit pitch.
Very well situated for a one-night stopover off the M61 motorway. A 2-minute walk sees you at a large shopping centre with various restaurants, although the in-house restaurant looked OK too.

Stayed for 2 weeks in August and got a pretty good impression of the place.
This hotel is probably more in the 3star category. Great location, rooms large, but need an update, gym tiny (garage sized) and pool not really much good for a real swim.
The bar food is ok (plough mans pie is v.tasty) and good value, the meal in the main dinning area left a lot to be desired however, we had 3steaks in our group, and despite a great view of the pitch each steak looked as well cooked as the other, and tasted pretty hard. Advice, pop into one of the many places to eat in the local shopping area (5 min walk away) Zizzi, Nandos, Bellamy pasta Chiquito etc.etc. ...

We recently stayed at this hotel on 11th August for a private function elsewhere.
The Hotel was not very well sign posted but after driving round the roundabout twice, we eventually found the entrance.
There is ample parking and the Hotel is very nice, staff are very friendly.
Our room was lovely and very warm and inviting and beds comfortable.We aquired our room for £49 for the night which we thought was a bargain.
The Hotel overlooks the Reobock Football Stadium which is great if you are a Bolton Wanderers Foothball fan.
There is also a swimming pool and spa facilities.
The drinks were quite expensive and we paid extra for breakfast which was 10.50 each but you could eat as much as you like.
Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Stayed between August 18th and 25th, that had a special summer offer, £29 per night, as a Bolton wander supporter it was a very attractive offer that I could not turn down. The staff were so helpful and made our stay even more special, the rooms were very comfortable and the view I had was just amazing, I spent my days just staring out the window looking at the pitch and just see the behind the scenes of a match day was amazing!! Breakfast was so good and so big!! All in all next time I go back to Bolton I know where I am staying and thats the De Vere Whites!!

We stayed here 3 nights over the bank holiday, good location a short walk from retail park with shopping and restaurants close by. Bar was a bit pricey, £6.60 for a glass of wine for example. We would have eaten in the restaurant if they had a menu deal like the other De Vere restaurants which are good value but unfortunately they didn't. Rooms were lovely and quiet, comfy and clean.

I recentley stayed over in the Penthouse Suite with my boyfriend celebrating my 18th birthday and his 20th birthday. On arrival we was pleasently greeted by the front desk staff who were very helpful and welcoming. When checking into our room everything was well presented and layed out, even offering extras such as dressing gowns and slippers for the both of us. The room was excellent, with lots of room, extremely comfortable bed, and other nifty features such as speakers within the bathroom, towel heaters, and dimming light switches. The only downside of our stay was that on arrival our room key didnt work so we had to go back down to reception only to be sent back up again with a member of staff instead of a new key. Then each time we wanted to get back into our room we had to go up with a member of staff. However this was only a slight inconvenience, not a major negative at all.
The stay overall was excellent and we both really enjoyed our time at the De Vere Whites as Bolton Wanderers season ticket holders, and are already looking forwards to planning another visit to the hotel.

We recently stayed one night at this hotel, We were amazed at the quality of the room for only £29 per night. It was excellent. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Perfectly situated for the football, only downside was my team lost. Ah well...Thanks anyway!

Just had a two night break at this Hotel. Check in quick and efficient. Nice, clean room. Tea/coffee/hot chocolate and biscuits and bottled water supplied. Didn't eat in the Hotel as there are numerous eateries in the adjacent shopping complex. Bar staff very pleasant. Had a slight problem with the toilet flush in our room that couldn't be fixed. We were offered a new room (which we declined) and was therefore offered a free breakfast. Matter was dealt with extremely professionally. Will definately use this Hotel again for a short break.

Stayed here last month, whist attending my Daughters graduation in Manchester, excellent rate from De Vere (Under £30.00) @ night. Bright clean airy rooms and good leisure faclilities, had the pool and sauna to ourselves. Easy to get to, staff friendly and helpful. Did not eat there but restaurants looked like they served tasty food.
The hotel overlooks the Rebook stadium and would appeal to any football fans wishing to stay in the area, Manchester is only 25 mins away. Would stay there again.

So pleased to see that this fantastic hotel has been awarded Trip Advisors Excellence Award. It is richly deserved and not too soon. We stay regularly as we visit family in the area and feel very much at home there. The staff are wonderful, friendly and the girls on reception are very welcoming, professional and always smiling. When we visit friends and family elsewhere we can't help but compare other hotels to this one and have to say that the De Vere White at Bolton is, in our view, second to none. So congratulations to the management and staff on securing this award.

We have stayed in lots of De Vere's and whilst most are good (excluding High Wycombe) this hotel is clearly the best. The staff are truly amazing and a credit to the company and better still "you feel at home". This was the second time we stayed at De Vere Whites and our latest visit was as good as our first.
Parking was no issue (not sure about match days though) and the room size & design just perfect. In general the hotel was very clean and in good condition.
Both breakfast & evening meals (we stayed for three nights) was brilliant and we would certainly stay again.
Just one mini negative.........suggest you steam clean the bathroom floors as in our room it was getting a touch grubby. Overall though 5 stars!.......congrats on a great hotel.

just returned from an overnight at this hotel, and the staff were incredibly kind , typically Northern friendliness without being intrusive. Due to a problem with the booking we were sorted by the Manager in an efficient and friendly way. The spa area was excellent and clean as indeed was the hotel. Breakfast was good and my request for poached eggs met without any hesitation. We are returning in two weeks and looking forward to the experience.
Only down side the pillows were not comfortable and I do feel these days a choice of pillows in a 4 star hotel is a must.

Three night groupon deal, £29 a night. Room 519, very friendly staff to greet us, all staff throughout stay smiling and could not do enough for us. Room clean, only concern was one packet of biscuits for the two of us, empty tissue box for entire stay. We thought music was playing, it was actually water pipes late into night. Each part of hotel very clean, spa and pool area very tidy, sign to pool too small so went wrong way. Pool and other facilities seconds to none. Great break, thanks Devere. Last night upgraded to penthouse suite, superb quality, pity only overlooks car park, cannot thank the cheerfull staff enough

Stayed here recently for the second time as my partner is a Bolton fan!
Stayed in a penthouse suite as I thought they may have pitch views...they don't! My mistake, but chose not to ask to change rooms.
Room very clean, lots of space. Starting to look a little tired and rough around the edges but, still a good price. Had a lovely meal in the brasserie ( we were hoping to eat in the restaurant upstairs but it was booked privately by the Barcelona team playing a friendly that weekend!)
Excellent breakfast buffet. Plenty of choice for all!

Lovely hotel!
Staff are extremely helpful. You won't get better anywhere else in the area!! That's just my opinion.
And, as a paying guest, you get to use the hotel's spa at no extra cost!!
Sample it for yourselves. Don't take my word for it.

I recently stayed at BOLTON WHITES IN JULY as it was a treat for my boyfriends birthday, I emailed Deveres to ask, if possible,could I have a pitch view room, a lady emailed me back called " JEN " a lovely email reply saying she would upgrade our room, I was thrilled, we arrived, pulled back the curtains, my first words were " WOW " IT WAS AMAZING, my boyfriend was thrilled our room was 328 it had the "WOW" factor,so thankyou very much " JEN " for making this happen, I certainly will never see anything like this in my lifetime. The room was very clean, the cleaning staff couldn't do enough, they came and asked us if we had enough towels, there are 2 excellent restaurants within walking distance, disabled parking a MUST for me, there is a lovely pool,sauna, and steam room, the reception staff were very helpful.
TO SUMMERISE: THIS HOTEL IS A MUST FOR ALL FOOTBALL FANS, THE ROOMS ARE TRUELY BEAUTIFUL, I WOULD LOVE TO STAY THERE AGAIN. THANKYOU TO EVERYONE THERE AND ESPECIALLY " JEN "

Whilst I have scored high we booked this on a summer deal but had a bad experience so following a complaint we were upgraded. However if we had been given the deal room I doubt it would have scored so highly

Had cause to stay for 3 nights on pleasure. Found the hotel to be excellent located near shops and restaurants in a nearby retail park (a walk). The hotel is located just off a motorway and within 30 mins of Manchester Airport. Parking is free. Wife was free throughout.
Staff were very pleasant and a request for a pitch side room was accommodated. These rooms are turned into corporate boxes on match day. The room was clean and the TV had loads of channels. The hotel was clean and staff were friendly and accommodating.
There is a lovely pool/sauna/steam room etc. Clean and very tasteful. I would recommend the hotel. For those of you who are football fans it extra special. The Hotel is built as part of the Reebok Stadium, home of Bolton Wanderers FC.

My husband, daughter and I stayed here for a weekend. We booked a pitch view suite which was very nice but a bit of a squeeze with the extra bed, the 2 armchairs were squashed in as a result. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. I would agree with previous comments that the hotel is beginning to look a little tired, I can't remember the last time I saw such a huge TV!, it took up so much room, surely it can't be that expensive to kit out the rooms with flat screens. All in all a pleasant stay.

Took my 2 football mad grandsons for a nights stay in apitchside room as a birthday treat.Iwas slightly apprehensive after reading some reviews but was very pleasantly surprised with our stay.Booked in Sunday afternoon the young man on reception couldnt have been more helpful our request for pitchside rooms was granted with pleasure he also suggested we go for a swim in the spa as the rooms were not quite ready he even provided us with lovely fluffy towels.Spa was lovely and me and grandsons really enjoyed our swim.Rooms provided were excellent and we all slept soundly with no disturbances .There is a cinema bowling alley restaurants and shops right next door and within easy walking distance.There is also a Harvester pub across the road that does pub food and is probably better for children than the hotel fine dining.All in we had an excellent stay all the staff were friendly and helpful would stay again and can only say ignore the negative reports and try it yourself.Only complaints ,there were only bar meals availableSunday evening probably because of low guest numbers,and grumpy old men moaned at my grandsons for jumping in the spa pool they probably cant remember when they were kids jumping in the local baths.The breakfast was very nice and worth booking staff once again very helpful and couldnt do enough to help.Thank you Whites from my 2 grandsons for a BOSS stay.

I've stayed here a couple of times recently. The rooms are starting to get a bit frayed round the edges but everything works fine so no real complaint there. I'm really not impressed with the breakfast service all. Firstly, any hotel catering for business travellers really should be serving breakfast before 7am but, if they're going to start that late, surely it gives them a little extra time to clean the tables. On both recent visits, most of the crockery has been stuck to the table requiring some force to peel off (my last visit was with a colleague that also had the problem so it wasn't just me).
None of the food was labelled either, as usual, it was a serve yourself affair (which is how I prefer it) but I had to guess which fruit juice was which and it's usual to give guests a choice of types of milk, as that wasn't labelled either I can only assume that it was all the same.
On the positive side, the wireless broadband seems to work faultlessly and you can connect as many devices as you want to. There are plenty of sockets in the room. The huge televisions (the cabinet, not the screen!) appear to be something that Noah might recognize and only a small selection of freeview channels are available.
The hotel is very very well situated with a number of (chain) restaurants within strolling distance and there's a cinema a short walk away if you find the television channels too restrcting.
