Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Latest Reviews
I stayed in the hotel for 1 night following an event in Bolton. When we arrived there were a number of our group whose names had not been given to the hotel so they had no room or their names had been mixed up and people were sharing with people they didn't know.
Carrie on reception was absolutely amazing. She took it all in her stride, she did not get stressed, stayed completely calm and made sure everyone ended up either with a room or sharing with the correct person. I would like to say a massive thank you to her. First class service!! I would go back and stay there again just on how she handled the situation!!!

My partner and I had an overnight stay at the Mercure Bolton mainly because of it's close proximity to a local eatery that we were attending at a fancy dress party. The Mercure was very good, it provided a good clean double room (although a little small). The bed was very comfortable and tea and coffee were available in the room. Unfortunately we were only given one bath towel between us both, a little disappointing as it was a double room!! However as it was only for a single night I would visit here again.
Caution!!! We had a drink in the bar before our evening out and the cost of four drinks was just short of £20. This was for 1 pint, 1 sherry (served in the wrong glass and it could not have been a shorter measure plus a glass of white wine and a G&T. Breakfast, which we declined because of the price, looked very good but less than a mile along the road we were able to get an absolutely marvellous breakfast for less than £24 , for all of us. A saving of over £20,
In conclusion I think the hotel was overpriced at £60 (without breakfast) and do not be taken in by the 'Georgian House' title. It may have been 'Georgian' a couple of centurys ago but now it is an 80's hotel with a fine sounding name.

I have stayed at this Hotel many times over the last 30 years and it is generally fine, but on my last visit the duvet cover on the bed in my Suite appeared not to have been washed properly and had two large brown stains on it. The Hotel was apologetic but this was a big disappointment.

Once again visited this hotel would highly recommend to others. Very near to the Whites and the retail park. Rivington Pike. Only 3 star but almost as good as the White Hotel if youget a good price then go

We stayed here two nights with Newmarket Holidays. Our room was very clean and comfortable although the room was a little too warm at times. We had a pre-booked meal which was OK but would have preferred something from the brassiere menu had we of stayed independently. The help yourself buffet breakfast was good. We did expect an iron and trouser press in our room but there wasn't one? (perhaps my daughter misunderstood the website?) but I did read on the welcome brochure you could obtain one from Reception. Overall, a good base to stay as part of a coach tour but without a car nothing around if you want to leave the hotel for the evening. Would happily stay here again.

Arrived friday with a lovely warm feeling after a tiring driving trip, meeted and greeted by friendly smiley staff. Room spacious, clean and just how i like a hotel room to be, "comfortable and luxurious, shower was lovely, spa facilities marvellous, I met and chatted to Isabell who made my experience at breakfast inviting and I feel Isabell shows passion in her work, lovely lovely lady, had a nice chat about her work, certainly made a big impresssion of the hotel and I enjoy seeing staff eager in their role, the bar staff where professional, makes all the e difference when I stay away from home,
Lovely hotel certainly recommend to all
Thank you for a lovely weekend xxxx

A little tired around the edges the focus of the room seemed to be yo fit as many beds in as possible. With a double and two singles filling one side of the room. I got the impression it was used a lot by tradesmen working in the area based on the other guests and the inclination to accommodate as many people as possible into a room. The corridor smelt very strongly of swimming pool (situated on the floor below) the hotel and room were clean enough just a little dated.
The room faced the road so was noisy in the early evening.
Room service was punctual, both breakfast and evening meal were reasonable in quality if a little over priced for what you get.
I would probably be inclined to try somewhere else even opting for a B and B if I was in the area again to see how other accommodation differs.

Reception area looks nice and inviting but my experience of this hotel was spoiled by my experience in the room. The room was too hot even with the window open (which subjected us to road traffic noise), the beds were hard and uncomfortable and the bathroom door squeaked terribly (so no sneaking quietly to the loo).

Wanting just an overnight stay and expecting an OK stopover we were very very pleasantly surprised.
The receptionist was most welcoming and exremely helpful in arranging taxis for us; the room was quiet, clean and fresh with comfortable beds and stunning views over the West Penine Moors.
Everything worked fine; absolutely nothing not to like and a very good price by booking (and paying) well in advance. (We were attending a family get together so didn't need to be flexible about arrangements).

My son and I used this as a stop over, picked due to it's location and car park size as we had a large boat in tow, the hotel was pretty average, clean, ok leisure facilities (although we couldn't find a member of staff and had to find our own towels), but generally ok however the staff in the hotel were really good, one lady at the bar opened the restaurant for my son and I as there was a wedding on and the bar was full, she couldn't do enough for us and the food we had was fantastic, really good quality, breakfast was pretty good, but dinner was amazing.

stayed here overnight on a coronation street tour. the room was bright and airy and very clean - asked for a twin room which we did get however the beds were pushed together and had to move a table and chair to be able to split the beds. breakfast was really nice and plenty to choose from. my only complaint was the price of the bar - glass of wine £5 ! other than that no complaints would stay there again .

It does not look very imposing from the outside, but what a difference when you step inside, a great find, ideally located for the nearby motorway, and shops near the Macron Arena.
Staff are genuinely friendly, rooms are well furnished and modern, comfy bed, walk in large shower (with a great pressure), restaurant was also very good, with a good variation in dishes

Stayed here on my own for two nights as part of a coach tour visiting the Coronation Street Tour in Manchester. Though paying a single supplement, I had a very large room (321) with corner sofa. Good room, clean and well designed, bathroom large with bath and good shower, good towels, toiletries, very comfy bed, flatscreen tv. This room faced the busy road and at night I had to shut the windows because of the noise but quiet afterwards. Our tour was half-board, very good breakfast (buffet style) and three course evening meal, choice of starter and desert and buffet main, good food, good choice with glass of wine on the first night. I used the pool which was very good. Very friendly staff. Good parking. The bar prices were a bit expensive £8 for a large glass of wine.

spent two days at this excellent hotel which was the venue for a two day residential conference. We return each year as this is such a good hotel. It is conveniently situated for travel being just a a couple of minute off the M61. Beware of the red camera next to the hotel. You are in 40 mph on the A6!!!
The reception is efficient and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I slept through the night without a problem which is unusual for me on the first night of a stay.
Breakfast and dinner are both well served. We had a limited menu as it was a conference package. But the food was always excellent. Also hot snacks can be bought from the bar or there is always room service. The bar prices are quite expensive but no more than I expect in a good hotel.
The staff are s joy. They are well mannered and so helpful. Thank you. The young people are well trained by an excellent senior management team. I would especially tank Bruno, Victor and the lady who cared for us a lunch on Tuesday to make sure every one was seated and fed..
There is also a pool with a gym for those who like abyss sly experience!
Though this was for a conference I would recommend it gif any occasion. It was sad to leave after a very good stay yet again. Thanks guys

Just had my wedding reception at the Mercure Hotel. Just one word sums up the hotel, facilities and service - Fantastic. Thanks to Sue for organising everything and to Louise for running the wedding. The staff were brilliant and myself and my husband could not fault anything. Thank you so much for giving us a special day we will remember for the rest of our lives x

We held our wedding day here this month, & I can't thank the staff at the hotel enough for playing such a big part in making the day what was-absolutely fantastic!! From start to finish, Sue our wedding co-ordinator was brilliant & helped us every step of the way. She answered every question we had over the months, was extremely accommodating with any request that we had, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel accommodated in every way possible. Louise, looked after us on the day and was and absolute star. As the bride, I had nothing to worry on about on the day as Louise took care of everything, the day ran perfectly thanks to Louise. The lady on reception, I think her name was Angela, was also lovely & helpful throughout our stay!
This hotel has great staff, which gives the place a lovely atmosphere!! We had a perfect day, and all the guests commented what a great day it was. Rooms were clean & comfortable with all the facilities you would expect. Breakfast lovely with lots of choice. A big thanks to the girls at Envy Hairdressers based at the hotel who did my hair, great girls & did an amazing job!
Food at our wedding breakfast was also good everyone enjoyed a wonderful meal with good wine. If you are thinking of holding a wedding I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. I'm so please that our wedding was held here! As soon as we walked in to enquire about holding our wedding here, we felt instantly comfortable & welcome. Thanks for everything Mercure Georgian House!! :)))))

Stayed 1 night in Sept 2014 whilst away with work.
There is plenty of parking at the hotel, and the welcome at reception was very good. Check in was brisk, and plenty of information was imparted about the hotel.
The room was small, and was a little tired. Grouting in the bathroom was a little mouldy, but was what you would expect for a 3* hotel.
The gym was reasonable with a 3 running machines, a couple of rowers, and a bike, along with a variety of weight machines and a free weights area.
Dinner was a disappointment. I ordered the linguine with squash, spinach, walnuts and mozzarella. Sadly both nuts and mozzarella were missing.
Breakfast was reasonable with a decent hot and continental selection of foods.
I wouldn't rush back here, but it was a fair stay.

Have stayed here quite a lot recently and find it a reasonable hotel to stay on. Decent pool, gym and facilities, and not a bad breakfast either. Staff could be better and food is quite pricy but on average not a bad hotel! Will be back but only for business, wouldn't bring the family.

we stayed in sept this year and were very pleased with the hotel, the price was reasonable and the staff were exceptional the breakfast was 5 star in quality and presentation, this place should go on any short list you have for the area, though a room at the rear would be less noisy than the front due to the busy main road.

Stayed here for one night whilst attending a wedding. The wedding was fantastic as were the staff, very friendly and helpful.
The bar prices were so expensive, as a frequent traveller I know I will pay over the odds but £18 for a white wine and a double gin and tonic is taking it too far, we are in Bolton not london!!!

My wife and I stayed overnight for a wedding. Everything at the hotel was pretty standard.
It is in desperate need of redecoration in parts and it is a little shabby.
The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was adequate but not anything special.
Considering the cost of the stay there is probably hotels of a similar standard, or even nicer, within a few miles that are much cheaper.
