Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Latest Reviews
Stayed here during business trip. Room only. No advice given from staff on anything other than directions to room. No offer of adding breakfast option during stay. Basic room, although very clean and warm. Scolding shower which you have to muck about with to get steady control. Wardrobe doors un-closeable, drawers a struggle to open and wifi is poor.

My friend and I have just returned from a weekend at this hotel. The hotel was busy, there was nightly entertainment and our room was clean and serviced each day. Lift was quite small and in demand so we used the stairs which were quite narrow. The dining room is on the lower ground floor, breakfast was the best meal of the day, evening meal was a bit sparse. Okay for a budget stay, room was clean and entertainment was quite good over the weekend.

My wife and I stayed here for three days and had a most pleasant stay again.
The service at breakfast, especially from Isobel was first class.
I stayed in the main bar on two nights and the barman was very helpful as well.
The price of drinks was rather expensive,4.80 for a bottle of beer!
but that I suppose is Hotel prices.

I stayed in this hotel for one night to watch a match at the macron Stadium (Bolton Wanderers). The hotel is very well located for this purpose - just off the motorway, and I elected to walked to the stadium which took only 25 minutes. There is a large car park. The hotel is comfortable and I enjoyed a pleasant snack drink in the bar after the football.

Plastic towel rails, 15" TVs, 80's bathroom fittings, lino, tired furniture.... I could go on. The hotel is in a lovely location for Westhoughton/Bolton and the old building is fabulous but the ~£80 rooms are SO tired they are barely Travel Lodge/Premier Inn standard.
The breakfast is good as are all the staff, which almost makes up for it.
At this price in this part of the world AND with this brand I expect better.

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world" ...... ooops, wrong quote but definitely the right choice of hotel to celebrate yet another wedding anniversary. We always thoroughly enjoy Georgian House hotel and return time and again, driving past several others of similar standard to one where we absolutely KNOW the food is excellent, the welcome sincere and the location just right for our needs.

We have stayed here several times as it's ideally placed. It has a good size family The room is relatively comfortable and clean with no obvious outside noise, but the bathroom needs attention. The pool is nice enough and seems popular but again the changing rooms , especially the family room need some work. Its an Open shower which doesn't drain so the floor gets wet and places to put things/ sit down are limited.
We will stay again as its so handy.

Stayed at Georgian House, staff were very friendly, room was a little dated also sink badly cracked.
Found the hotel very warm,
after the meal the tables never got cleared, the plates and cutlery were left on the tables until all the guests left at 1am.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights in October 2015 as part of a 20-strong group. Check-in was smooth and efficient and reception staff were welcoming and helpful. All areas were spotlessly clean and well maintained.
The most noticeable thing about the hotel was the friendliness of staff in the restaurant. We had breakfast and evening meals every day and found the staff extremely warm and friendly - quite unusually so for a large, chain hotel. Serving and kitchen staff showed genuine interest in our welfare and comfort. Special dietary requirements were dealt with quietly and discreetly.
Breakfasts were excellent - good quality food and a vast choice. Evening meals were excellent on two of the three evenings but only fair on the third.
The only negative point I would make relates to the bar which was a typical hotel bar - bland and soulless. Prices for beer and wine were high and beers were limited to bland keg beer and lagers. The only alternative to these were bottled beers at £4.90 a time. Fortunately there is an excellent pub (The Poacher) 5 minutes walk away.
Generally a good base for visiting the area. We would certainly stay there again.

My cousin had her wedding at the hotel on the 20th Sept. From start to finish Marie and her team did a fantastic job in executing and fulfilling every desired detail/ request. Thank you for your patience and excellent customer service. Highly recommend the venue and once again a huge thanks to Marie.

On arriving at the hotel we were greeted a by a lovely smiling receptionist called Claire who explained everything to us and answered any questions we had with no trouble at all .There was a wedding on when we arrived and it was quite busy but we went to the bar to order some food and drinks with no hassle and our order was took by a very polite young man by the name of Ryan who explained if we wanted to eat somewhere quieter we could access a seating area near the art bar and he would bring us our food and drinks which he did quite quickly and it was lovely,after eating we then went to our room which was very clean and comfortable and had two lovely towel swans on the bed .My boyfriend had arranged a surprise proposal with the help and assistance of a few staff members one of them being Louise Warrington who went above and beyond the call of duty we had a beautiful private dining room absolutely stunning setting that took my breath away .Matt our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about any queries we had and did not hassle us at all and between Louise and Matt and the wonderful food cooked by Mark the head chef who all knew about this wonderful evening I could on no level fault any of it even Chris the other manager was polite and friendly we even managed to sit down and relax with staff and have coffee .I would totally recommend this hotel ,the staff are wonderful friendly and nothing is too much for them and they all are happy and polite and the food is wonderful and very good value for money and I did say yes after such a beautiful setting and brilliant evening how could I not?.

I have stayed in several hotels on business and I have to say that this is one of my favourites
Reasonably priced with good facilities
Staff were friendly at every point of contact, from check in, fitness centre and restaurant
The look and feel of this hotel is fab and Rooms very modern!
Gym is rather small but you are in a hotel so it does have more than enough for a stay over !
There is a sauna, steam room and a lovely clean swimming pool
I ate in the restaurant which I found reasonably priced and food well cooked
Overall I am more than happy with this hotel and will definitely be returning

Stayed at this hotel when supporting a family member taking part in the Iron Man race. The hotel had lots of participants staying and they did a great job looking after us all. The staff were relaxed and friendly, in particular the lady who worked in the bar fantastic.

Stayed here this month October 2015. I was in the area to attend a friend's retirement do in nearby Blackrod. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Staff were brilliant, helpful and friendly. All the staff I came into contact with were superb, but a special mention for Isobel, Carrie on reception & Lydia on breakfast, but as I say, all members of staff were lovely and helpful. My room was great and clean. Breakfast was a wonderful treat. Though M61 not that far away, I found I could not hear it in my room. There are 1 or 2 areas were it could improve e.g. air con in rooms for example, especially for summer. But overall I had a lovely time there.Will definitely be back.

Visit for a residential conference for 5h year. The hotel is.mthe rooms are cleaned comfortable. Food is very good. But what makes this special are the staff. From the moment of arrival at reception to departure they. Could no have been better. This is everyone including the bright and pleasant girl hoovering the corridor outside the conference room. Your cheery hello was a great beginning to the day. The lady who made sure the conference ran well is to be mentioned. In the bar Ryan was a joy and has a career in service industry ahead - thanks. Well all bar staff too and those in restaurant. Manager go thank everyone. One con is the place was too hot!!! But then I would have complained if it was cold.

All in all the hotel was good. Main problem was that we couldn't find it. Perhaps a sign hadn't been put out? Not visible from the road in one direction and as we came back the other way we'd passed the entrance before we could read the sign. A bit more signage would help hapless travelers without a gps.

We Stay at the Georgian House regularly. They look after us very well and put us in the same room every time. The breakfasts are very good and we tend to eat out in the evening. Great value for money. We use the Mercure group a lot as you know what you are getting.

A very last minute decision drove me to stay overnight in Bolton and the company found this hotel. I had a suite in the roof, all was clean and pleasant. Bed was good. I had a meal in the restaurant and there was only me at first, with a couple of other guests occupying a couple of other tables later....it's a shame and I hope that is not typical occupancy as I found the food good (of it's type - Brasserie). The usual was there on the menu - fish and chips, curry, burgers (so that type of choice, fine for a night's stay or 2...if longer there is a very large retail park just about a mile away or so which has some restaurant chains if you want to have a change). I had the pizza and it was large (12 inch I imagine), so no mean affair and I will say it was as good as any i have had in Italy ! It filled me totally too. The young lady serving me (sorry, I did not get your name) was most pleasant and attentive and the cappuccino she made was excellent (and I did tell her so ). Not everyone gets cappuccino right ...this one reminded me of Italy again. Ok, maybe I'm overdoing the Italy now ... At breakfast al the usual was there ...even the Black Pudding which so many hotels now seem to have stopped (wahay ! other hotels take note ...time to re-instate the black pudding !). There seemed ample car parking by the way. Free Wi-Fi.

The hotel is a little away from the Horwich Parkway station and Reebok/Macron Stadium. The check-in was quick and the room was on the third floor which was only a flight of stairs above. The room was good sized, with tea and coffee facilities. There was a door joining an adjacent room which was fortunately closed on both sides. On the way down, I took the wrong stairs and reached the gym instead of the reception.
The wifi was free and of good speed, and the codes were written on a piece of paper in the room. The breakfast was a decent spread and the receptions staff were prompt in booking a taxi in the morning.
Overall, a good stay.

We stayed one night at Georgian House. It was a very nice place to stay. Our rooms
were on the back of the property and had nice view of the country side. The buffet
breakfast was great. The Georgian House has easy access to the M61 Motorway.

We stayed here in early August, two adults and three children in a family room. The room was a good size and the beds were fine for our needs. The room décor was certainly a bit dated and the bathroom in particular was a bit worse for wear, but everything was fully functional.
Views over the moors are indeed fantastic.
The real stand out about this place is the quality and friendliness of the staff. Nothing was too much for them, and in many cases they went out of their way for us. With the kids we made a massive mess at breakfast, but they took this in their stride. We went to use the swimming pool, which is brilliant for kids, and we were provided with loads of toys and floats and so on.
I should also add that we were at the hotel because of my dad's funeral, he and my mum having lived close by. We also had the wake at the hotel and it was all very well done, with food, staff and facilities fantastic.
It is hard to give this place five stars because of the need for updates to the décor. But it is brilliant value for money and the human side of things is awesome.

First impressions - good, in fact so were the second and third. Rooms on the front suffer a lot from traffic noise which can't be helped if you want fresh air. There was a wedding party in, but it didn't really interfere with our night, except that we were just going to have a bar meal but the guests were waiting for their evening room to be set up and had invaded the bar area and taken all the seats. But we ate in the restaurant (and were the only ones until another couple right at the end of our meal). Food good, waiting staff friendly and efficient. Lovely romantic table for two by the window. Again here for breakfast (a bit steep at £10 per head, but there was plenty of choice) and of course you can eat as much as you want, if you can first thing. Our only complaint is that the shower pressure on the Saturday night when I suppose all the wedding guests were also using their showers, was no more than a dribble, but by the morning this was fine. We enjoyed the swimming pool and steam room

Stayed two nights, handy for the Macron Stadium and motorway links. It's very much a business hotel, the decor is dated and the rooms are fine for a night or two at a conference or as an alternative to pricier hotels in Manchester for a concert, but you wouldn't go for a special event. The pillows are extremely hard so if you need a soft pillow to sleep, take your own, and the lack of soundproofing between the rooms is an issue, I would recommend earplugs. The staff were friendly enough but it needs some money spent to bring it up to three star standard. Great views over the moors.

Have stayed at the Georgian House many times over the years, indeed this hotel was a party favourite from teens!
The current hotel is a strong business venue with excellent public areas and conference facilities, good food and a health spa with pool. The wifi is also actually very good unlike many venues that just advertise that.
If you're on a business trip or holding a conference I'd recommend

Stayed here on business for 2 nights on 4th September. I was pleasantly surprised given some of the reviews. Room was lovely, nice big bed and plenty of room. Food was nice, great breakfast and plenty of choice. The great trump card for this place was the lovely pool, Jacuzzi area and gym, just what I needed to wind down in the evenings. All staff that I came across were polite and friendly.
The only down sides worth noting for me was that the decor in the corridors is a bit tired and could do with a lick of paint and the service on the evening meal was a bit slow, but on the whole it was just fine. Although I stayed here on business I would consider staying here on a family break
