No complaints. I've stayed here a number of times, and the place is clean, welcoming, comfortable. OK not the greatest location, but pleasant room; generous breakfast. And the evening meal was filling - again, no complaints.
Staff very warm and helpful

This hotel is dated and is in need of modernising. With fixtures and fittings dirty and out of date.
The staff are very helpful and checking in and out took no time at all.
The location is good however. Short walk into the centre for shops, bars and restaurants.

This hotel was better than expected. Ok the room I was in was a little dated however it was clean and quiet which is what I look for.
The staff were helpful and I had an evening meal here which was fine.
Location was ok, although I did not go into town. There is a car park which is free to guest, but it was not big so could fill up quite easily.
I'd stay here again

Came to Bolton to cycle the Iron man course. The holiday in was perfect. We ate in the restaurant, had burgers and salad. The gin & tonics were fantastic.

The staff were very pleasant and eager to help. We arrived early but as we were there for a wedding at 1:00pm we needed somewhere to get changed before the 3:00pm check in time. We asked at reception to be told that a room was ready for us and we could check in immediately. This was unexpected and very welcomed.
We had booked a suite but the room we were given was not what I would call a suite, just the bedroom and bathroom with the bed, one soft chair and one hard chair. Still, we had arrived early.
The meal following the wedding left a lot to be desired, the roast beef was overdone and as tough as leather, but we thought they were catering for a crowd so that may explain the poor quality.
Breakfast the next morning was your typical 2 or 3 star buffet, fruit juices from concentrate, dried up bacon etc. For 4 star we normally have breakfast freshly cooked to order.
In general the hotel needs some t.l.c. and a rethink about the food quality. In my opinion the hotel rates as 3 star but could, with a little investment, be raised back to 4 star.

I've stayed in this hotel for business purposes as it's a very convenient location. The staff are friendly and helpful, particularly the restaurant staff. The hotel is clean and have all the facilities you would expect, tea/coffee making facilities and hairdryer. However, the bedrooms could do with a refresh now.

My wife and decided to treat ourselves to a night away and pick here as there was a good deal on, was upgraded as a Spire member to an Executive Room that was very nice with all the extra's. The bed was comfortable and the shower excellent. Breakfast was very nice and a good selection. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars was the young teenagers making so much noise in the corridor on floor three which went on for hours. I am afraid management (not only in this hotel) need to be able to manage this unsocial behaviour.

Everyone at this hotel has been so friendly and helpful. It is right bang in the middle of Bolton Centre which is just perfect for getting to the theatre. Room service is 24 hours and that has been wonderful for me and the beds are really comfy.

My wife and I were in town to watch a play at the octagon.Whilst avin our pre-theatre meal,the intention was to drive home after the show,but after deliberating we both decided to stay over.So I phoned the holiday inn who said they had a family room available for£60.00.Well what can I say about the room,WOW,a massive comfortable room with settee two Rm chairs,two showers two hairdryers,the list goes on.Big comfortable bedlovely snuggly bedding,enabling a first class sleep for us both,also thick blacked out curtains.Went in the bar on our return,a wee bit pricey,but hey we're in a hotel.When we go to see a show again ,wouldn't hesitate to book this lovely hotel again,
Well done guys keep up the good work you all do,
Chris Dooley,
Ps They even lent me a phone charger,which I accidentally left in the room,rather than take back to reception,thankyou for a great stay.

Visited here for work, decor and rooms are dated but clean. I was in king room and needed to decide whether I wanted to have mobile plugged in by bed or be able to turn lights out as you could only do one or the other from each side of the bed! Still had old round 3 pin plugs in the room. Staff eager to please. Reasonable breakfast. Would return - you know what you are getting.

We had our wedding at this hotel in The Cloisters suite and cannot praise it highly enough. As soon as we set foot in The Cloisters we knew it would be perfect for us and we were right. The venue, the food, the service, everything was spot on. Ourselves and our guests had a brilliant day and we can't recommend this venue highly enough.
Special thanks to Emma for all her hard work organising our wedding and her patience with our numerous enquiries and requests. And to Libby for making sure the day ran smoothly and couldn't have gone better for ourselves or our guests.
Our room was spacious, clean and tidy. My only gripe is that because my wife stayed the nigh before our wedding, we had to re-check into our room because it was under different names.

Convenient if in central Bolton. Staff lovely. Food better than expected. Rooms a bit tired.

We were in Bolton for a conference. The hotel is limited on parking space but we managed to get one plus there is a lift from the basement to reception. My room was on the fourth floor and was clearly a family room - a double bed, single bed, 2 seater settee, separate chair and normal dressing table chair - very spacious. Could do with a bit of tlc but very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Coffee and milk sachets replaced when room cleaned. As normal, shower over a bath but no problem getting in and out of it. The lift was very speedy. The food over the whole weekend was excellent - and the staff were an asset to the hotel - always very helpful. The award ceremony was held in The Cloisters - what a fabulous setting. The hotel has a pool but didn't have time to visit. There is no hairdressing salon, but there is one over the road, Ordinary Hair, and that was a pleasure to visit too. The hotel is very centrally situated, if you like shopping. All in all, I really enjoyed the weekend.

The staff were extremely friendly with fast check in and out. Rooms were clean and tidy. The staff were more than happy to help with any of my queries, they were helping us with local places to eat and also the surrounding areas as we're from Wales.

Was staying here on business however the rooms were tired and really could do with some modernisation, right across the whole hotel. However the restaurant and bar were actually pretty decent, and albeit a rather noisy and rambunctious party going on in the function suite, was a really nice place to hang out with a beer while on business.
Great location in the middle of bolton however get there early if you expect to park your car. There isn't a great deal of parking spaces and I really didn't fancy my chances at finding somewhere else to park the car.

I was fortunate to get parked as space is limited. However it is city centre hotel.
I migt have been unlucky but my the TV never worked and one of the bed sode lamps were out. The bathroom needs upgraded.
The staff however were very nice.
I would have to think twice about staying again.

My wife and I stayed on the second floor. The room was clean, tidy and offered good facilities. TV was Freeview only. Wifi in the room was good and allowed me to watch Satellite channels via the App on my iPad.
We ate in the restaurant and the food was good quality . The waitress and other staff were all very friendly - a real asset to the Hotel.
A free daily newspaper- "I" is available in the reception area Monday to Saturday.
The location is within the Town Centre that has a good range of shops, bars and cafes.
The Town Hall is impressive and seemed to be a popular photo opportunity with visitors.

Normal Holiday inn , but the difference being the friendly staff from reception through to restaurants and the happy bar staff, will be here for a year or so through the week, so I'm glad to see their cheery smiles

There is a lot going for the Holiday Inn in Bolton - but a few reservations, if you'll forgive the pun.
It is central, easy to find, and with adequate car parking. Reception are friendly and helpful, and neither checking in nor checking out took very long. Our room was just about adequate. We were attending a conference, and the variety of rooms available was very good.
The service in the restaurant was painfully slow the first evening. We did mention it after some had been waiting more than 20 minutes for their main courses - but it still took a lot longer.
We had dinner as part of our conference. It was a buffet with no staff (to see), and it was not until after we had finished our main course that a waiter came through and took orders for drinks. That was poor.
Lunch each day was a 'just about OK' buffet - and much the same each day. Fair to middling.
We had two problems with our room, one potentially dangerous, which we mentioned when checking out. The receptionist seemed genuinely concerned, and wrote them down immediately.

We visit 9-10 times a year. The Hotel is easy to find in Bolton Centre, good plentyful free car parking underground car park or top car park. Check in was swift and staff alwayshave a smile. Room was on first floor and first impressions were good. It was clean with lovely king bed with choice of pillow types duvet looked new. View was rubbish but not a factor in our stay. Bathroom had all extra bits soap, shampoo, shower gel and a great shower over bath (water pressure was fine). There was a hair dryer in the bedroom Tea and coffee tray also available. Its the little extras that make the difference. We have eaten in the restaurant for evening meal before and its excellent if you can get a good room rate. We on this occasion were on comfort packages B&B but with a drink on check in. As always the breakfast was lovely and excellent choices for all tastes probably one of the bests. One downside this visit was cleaning staff knocking on door at 9.20am Sunday morning to service the room.....really thought we were on holiday really!

With only two hotels in Bolton to choose from.
This hotel is tired and need some new beds and a lick of paint.
Breakfast is ok and the restaurant serve ok food (service is slow)
Location is central and it does what it says on the tin. Loved the fact that the bathroom had a bath.
