lovely hotel. pool and leisure facilities very relaxing. Bar prices etc found quite expensive.
breakfast was cold both mornings which spoilt it, but it had very tasty sausages and bacon. Plenty of choice available
Room very nice but only 1 chair. TV basic. Toiletries on hand. warm room.

We attended a family wedding here and found the whole experience most enjoyable, the staff were very friendly and professional and the whole day ran smoothly. We stayed over night and even in the morning felt just as special as we did the night before

My wife and I recently got married at the mercure bolton georgian house hotel and I must say, the whole experience from start to finish, was nothing short of amazing. From the initial meeting with Sue, we were made to feel very welcome and relaxed. We knew then we had made the right choice. The actual wedding day was the best experience of our lives and this was all down to Chris and his team. They were all so approachable and helpful and Chris went out of his way all day to make sure our wedding was the best day of our lives. All our guests commented on how good the hotel and all its staff were and we cannot recommend highly enough for anyone thinking about holding their wedding here, they should book now. Thank you so much from a very happy Mr & Mrs Wilson x

I found the hotel to be acceptable for the purpose of our stay, it was of the standard I expected with staff that could be approached at any time. The easy access a couple of weddings guests had to the hotel roof from the window next to our room and staff shouting and swearing at 1am probably spoilt it a little. The booking process and general staff politeness was seemless.

I've been staying at this great hotel for many years for work purposes .
However, this time I came with my partner and a year had past since I had stayed previously .
This hotel is wonderful. Eric and his team are always incredibly warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble .
I was able to bring my dog along too .
The room was beautiful with its four-poster bed and the little touches such as my favourite tea had been remembered .
Breakfast was also good and to see the ladies that had looked after me in the past was also a pleasure.
Eric, your staff and the hotel are a credit to you .
Thank you x

Very nice hotel. Room quite large and comfortable with 2 seater couch. Nice touch when chef (Judy) came to the table to ask how the food was.Breakfast sumptous.All staff very flexible and helpful except for one who is quite inflexible. All in all a very pleasant experience

There are 8 of us every year at this hotel.This hotel is ideal for us rooms are comfortable the staff are always excellent nothing is to much trouble for them,new years itself was again very good although we all agreed the food was not quite as good this year I think it was maybe that last year we all had steak that was 1st class and this year the steak was in the form of a beef wellington, but that aside the evening was good.The breakfast the following morning is always great,all in all another good one

We stayed in a family room, double bed, 2 single beds. I was a little disappointed, as I had rang 2 weeks prior and requested the family room (room 333) on the first floor (which is were I have stayed on a previous visit) the receptionist at the time said that this shouldn't be a problem and she would put a note on our booking, upon our arrival we had been allocated another room to the one I had requested. When I asked why we hadn't been allocated the one I requested I was told there was no notes on my booking. Although the room I wanted was empty it wasn't clean so we couldn't stay in it. We could see Reebok Stadium from our room and also Pennines. The pool and jacuzzi was very nice. We had breakfast at the hotel which was well worth the price, plenty to choose from. lots of free parking at rear of hotel. Bar prices were a little expensive. Staff very friendly and welcoming. I visit Bolton every New Year period to visit family so may well have to look at another hotel next time due to my room not been available.

Lovely hotel, great location. Nice clean spacious bedroom. Comfy bed. Lovely & quiet so great nights sleep. Staff very friendly. Hotel has a great pool & gym, and also a hairdressers. Bar area nice & relaxed with TV. Had a lovely breakfast in the morning, cooked to order. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a night or weekend away. It's in a great location, near to Middlebrook & Reebok Stadium, but yet has a 'country feel' to it. There are a couple of really nice pubs in walking distance. Would recommend the Brinsop pub just down the road for food/drink.

Clean, simple, functional and friendly. Breakfast value for money if you don't book in advance.
Location very good for Bolton and M65 route. Close to Reebok Middlebrook Shopping Centre and Bolton Wanderers FC

Very good value accommodation. Immaculate well equipped rooms and good friendly service. Great location ( 1 min from major Mway network) yet quiet and rural. We had 2 twin rooms and used the restaurant, gym and bar facilities.

This was my second visit to the Georgian House Hotel near Bolton and my room this time was larger than my first visit. The rooms have been excellent and, whilst the bathroom fittings are looking dated, they are maintained and scrupulously clean. An earlier reviewer complained about the water pressure in the shower and I can confirm that it is not exactly a raging torrent but then neither is it an inadequate trickle either. I don't spend all my stay in the hotel shower so I can't get too upset by this! The reception staff are delightful and the breakfast staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. There is a large bar area with TVs but I didn't get to use the pool so I couldn't comment. Parking is easy and there are plenty of spaces. An excellent experience, again, for a seasoned traveller.

Stayed here for one night. Room was poor with dead flies on the window ledge, and the bathroom in urgent need of update.
Didn't use the leisure facilities but they look ok.
Breakfast was very nice, although they seemed very understaffed, and you struggled to get someone's attention to get a cup of coffee.

stayed here for weekend friday night into manchester to show at bridgewater hall the hotel staff were helpful and pleasant but the rooms were tired and dated the food in the restaurant was excellent for two of our party but was cold for the other two this was rectified to our satisfaction things do go wrong but it is the way it is dealt with that makes the difference would we go back yes.
we understand that the hotel has recently been taken over and would expect the hotel to raise the standards in the bedrooms to what you would expect from the accor group

We only stayed one night and as were were meeting friends we did not eat any meals. The pool is not very large but overall very clean and pleasant, good parking, quiet even though there were 2 weddings. We were given a room on the top floor in the loft area. But it was big enough, clean and quiet. Good TV and tea,coffee etc. About 1 mile from the Reebok and very close to the motorway. Downside drinks pricey, bar area a bit bleak and we did not find a lounge area but there were 2 parties so maybe the lounge was somewhere.

Booked this place, primarily, as it had been well received on trip advisor and my other half enjoys a swim and sauna. I found the room to be fine for my needs ie get a good sleep and a shower etc but a little disappointed we only got one set of towels. Also could not get the wifi to work anywhere in the hotel. Maybe if I asked these things would have been sorted so I will take some of the blame.
The pool area, gym and sauna were all very accessible the times we used them and never too busy.
Drink is expensive so don't plan to have a great night at the bar unless you have more money than sense, although to be fair I suspect this is the norm for hotels.
The breakfast buffet is good too, I normally don't eat much in the morning but managed to have a lovely cooked breakfast each morning.
The staff in all areas were very welcoming and attentive and I am sure they would have sorted my little niggles if I bothered to mention them.
I would have no problems recommending this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Stayed herewith my husband (who was on business) and our 6 & 4 year old boys. We stayed in a ground floor family room. My husband checked in on a Monday, with myself and the children arriving on the Friday and all checking out the following Tuesday.
Our room was very spacious with 2 double beds and a sofa bed. The bathroom was also a good size. The bed was huge and very comfy. The maids did a fantastic job each day as my boys made a fair bit of mess.
The food was delicious. We had room service 1 night and ate in the lounge another night. Portions where large and although a bit pricey not more than I would expect. Breakfast was nice and well staffed, though I was surprised there was no black pudding, what with being in lancashire.
My husband says the gym is good and I found the pool area very nice. The guy on duty on the day we went swimming was brilliant as our youngest broke a golden rule and ran, ending up slipping and hurting his head.
There was only 2 minor downsides, 1 was each day we returned our key card didn't seem to work so had to head back to reception to get it fixed. 2 was on the Saturday our next door neighbors where a group of young guys who rolled in rather loudly at 2.15, though it was the nights the clocks went back so felt like 3.15. Not the best move putting a group of lads in a 'family' room.
Overall a brilliant stay

stayed here for a night dinner bed and breakfast via a red letter voucher. on the whole a nice stay, room clean, not very spacious but fine, some parts of hotel need a bit of an upgrade to décor etc, slightly dated. staff seem very attentive, if a little slow at dinner, the dinner room is quite sparse and not very restaurant like, but the food was really lovely. Again good choice at breakfast but very slow staff, especially with the tea and coffee. swimming pool area is very nice too.

This is a good business hotel to stay in if you are traveling in the NW. Clean and well kept with a good breakfast buffet.
Don't be fooled by the "Georgian" title most of the accommodation is in modern, lodge style blocks. A conference venue not a wedding venue really.

Good-
Excellent value for money (£50 each for one night including an evening meal, breakfast and full access to the gym and spa facilities).
Spacious and modern room with a bath/shower and television.
The food in the restaurant was lovely and the choice at breakfast was great!
All of the staff were all lovely and polite.
Bad-
The Jacuzzi wasn't working properly and would only switch on in small intervals.
The door of the sauna in the female changing rooms wouldn't close properly so all the heat was being let out which was a shame.
When you book it says in the description that you get a 3 course d'hote dinner but doesn't explain that the choices are very limited. The menu you choose from only includes two different starters, two mains and two desserts. We didn't like either of the mains (tuna steak and chicken diane) so the other option was to choose a meal from the main menu up to the value of £22.00 each. If you go over £22.00 you will pay the extra before you leave at checkout. We didn't mind doing this but if you were looking forward to a 3 course meal then you would be quite disappointed. For our £22.00 each, we ended up getting a starter and main each. Both courses were lovely and the portions were huge! The only recommendation we have would be to add a couple of extra choices to the menu for guest who are staying under a package deal at the hotel.
Apart from this, we can't complain because for the £50.00 each it is excellent value for money! If we ever fancy a little break away again, we will definitely consider coming back here!
