First thing say is that the hotel is incredibly cheap and therefore good value for money so the below should be considered with this in mind - you cannot criticise such value - i have been using this hotel for 10 years and during such it’s got older without any apparent significant investment - rooms all seem in a similar old and threadbare condition - bathrooms are from the last century - hotel colleagues seem to be going through the motions and often seen sat out the back of reception which is often a telling sign , gym and pool open albeit fully booked when tried to use - fairly depressing stay but will return post a refurb , should such happen

We’re on our last night of 3 and nobody has been in our room to take rubbish or replace anything. 2 Paper cups were provided, no spoons, just 2 wooden stirrers so we went out to buy our own mugs, coffee and borrowed spoons from the bar. The premier inn we stayed a night in en route was far better equipped.

It’s grim as we don’t have access to anything to clean the room ourselves - my partner took a bag of rubbish down to reception as we didn’t know what else to do with it. Goodness knows what happens with longer stays - I’d be tempted to make more than one booking and change room midway through if that’s what it takes. We should have been warned and our room should have been adequately stocked for 3 nights - with an extra towel, enough toilet paper etc.

There’s no fridge, no air con and our room overlooks a very busy road so bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper and don’t want to sleep in a sauna.

The room is spacious but shamefully tired. Like everyone had said, It’s 2 decades overdue for an upgrade and really devalues the Mercure brand.

That all said, dinner in the bar was lovely and the staff couldn’t have been better. I feel for them as the hotel is clearly understaffed and they are so friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and it’s close to a great retail outlet with some good restaurants and shops. We enjoyed a meal at Wagamama.

Birthday treat of afternoon tea at the Georgian House Hotel.
Lovely food and brilliant service.
Irene and Julie are lovely. A credit to the staff, pleasant, chatty, obviously good friends and nothing was too much trouble for either of them
Would definitely recommend.

The staff from the moment we arrived were fantastic but need to give a shout out to Julie #bruiser she is amazing made us feel like part of the team. The food was excellent thank you chef had a great stay
Thank you team Bolton
From team Sheffield

From the moment we walked in they treated us like royalty! I cannot begin to describe the sheer delight on her face, as the love of my life was greeted by the manager ‘Bronwen and the team as we were shown around this beautiful venue. They knew exactly how important this was to her! Every single member of staff had smiles on their faces, which in turn made us feel warm, happy and very welcome. Thy are beautiful people; well dressed and exceptionally well mannered. Thank you Irene, Lewis and Nadine!

Bronwen’s threw in an overnight complimentary stay and added the use of the leisure club which had a Jacuzzi, pool, sauna and steam-room. Furthermore, their venue dresser ‘Julie’, went above & beyond to make our experience especially romantic; In our opinion she is highly talented with an exception attention to detail.

The atmosphere at the bar was perfect! Chris made sure you were not kept waiting & service was right there when you wanted it and the prices are very reasonable.

The lighting was perfect, the music was at comfortable level and the ambience and dancefloor simply blew us away. You got so much more for your money and the service provided was phenomenal!

My wife was buzzing with excitement and still keeps talking about how beautiful our time was at this venue to this day.

“TO AN PERSPECTIVE WEDDING COUPLE PLANNING ON BOOKING HERE: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? THIS IS REALLY IS THE VENUE YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!”

Love and Best wishes,

The one thing about this hotel is the staff who are always friendly and engaging,rooms are clean and beds are very comfortable.
Unfortunately the rooms let it down, of course the hotel has been in lockdown for most of the past year so I would have thought that would have been an excellent time to sort out repairs.
My booking had 2 rooms and between these 2 rooms I found issues with a badly cracked sink,broken bath panels,broken bathroom tiles and a chair that had no padding and was badly stained from previous stains,double glazed windows with blown seals
The furniture within the rooms are dated and worn.
Dining and bar service was outside or via room service,but given we ate outside the hotel didn't bother with putting heaters or pods on the patio "as there would be no point,as we go back to normal next month" meaning people can eat Inside..I hate to say it we are in unprecedented uncertain times and this is the new normal ..the hotel is clearly not prepared

Dear all,
My wife and I had been let down last minute by a dreadful couple at our local Golf Couse Venue in Bolton. Left totally devastate and with less than a week to go before the big day I was frantically searching for an alternative or face postponing our wedding day.
By some Miracle ‘Nadine & Bronwen’ from the Mercure - Bolton Georgian House Hotel in Blackrod heard of our situation and offered to help, and invited us over to view the hotel venue. I cannot begin to describe the surprise and sheer delight on her face, as the love of my life was greeted by the management and staff as she was shown around the establishment as if she was a princess; they knew exactly how important this was to her!
From the moment we walked in the Management treated us like royalty! I am not joking; every single member of staff had smiles on their faces, which in turn made us feel warm, happy and very welcome. Thank you Lewis!
One of the first things you notice is just how clean and fresh the establishment is, and you find yourself impulsively marvelling around the place as your eyes soak up the sparkling clean ambience; it was a truly delightful feeling.
It is worth noting that, parking for a great number of vehicles is not a problem as they have a massive car park which is clearly marked-out, well lit and based on the grounds.
As we were still waiting for a full refund from the Golfing Club Owners, this beautiful venue was slightly out our budget. However, Bronwen’s kindness and generosity didn’t stop there, and she bent over backwards to help keep costs down and made it happen. For example, the hotel management threw in accommodation booking us in for an overnight complimentary stay and also added the reduced event rate inclusive of full English breakfast for two and use of their Leisure club. they even had a pool, sauna and steam-room! we were absolutely blown away by this.
you got so much more for your money and the service provided was phenomenal. There was also a lovely lady called ‘Irene’ who was like a ‘fairy godmother’ to my wife; and fixed her dress, brought her cups of tea and made her feel special throughout the entire stay.
All the staff were just brilliant, very welcoming, warm, friendly and just so pleasant with us. This really made us feel more relaxed. It was so reassuring, and we knew it was going to be such a wonderful wedding day knowing that we had Bronwen, Nadine and the team behind us. My wife was buzzing with excitement and still keeps talking about how beautiful our time was at this venue to this day.
The hotel also provided us was the services of a venue dresser called ‘Julie’. This lady clearly went above and beyond to make our experience especially romantic; In our opinion she is a star! Highly talented and her professionalism is outstanding. Julie’s attention to detail and abilities would easily rival (if not surpass) that of some of these personality event dressers. Her attitude, appearance and style is exceptional. The Venue owners would be very wise to keep this girl!
The room had a private bar and the Bar Manager ‘Chris’ and waiters were simply beautiful people; well dressed, very smart and exceptionally well mannered. lighting was perfect, the music was at comfortable level and the ambience and dancefloor simply blew us away.
The bar was perfect! You are not kept waiting around; the food, drinks and service was right there when you wanted it. The prices were very reasonable and what I would expect to pay for such an amazing and quality experience.
“TO AN PERSPECTIVE WEDDING COUPLE PLANNING ON BOOKING HERE: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? THIS IS REALLY IS THE VENUE YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!”
We would like to say to Bronwen and all of her amazing team: ‘THANK YOU!’ for making our special wedding day possible, we had the time of our lives and will always cherish the happy memories we made here at the - Mercure - Bolton Georgian House Hotel.

Very good staff and very clean. Good quite location away from the main town. Food for a chain good and again for a chain reasonably priced. The negatives are the rooms especially the bathroom are dated.

Swimming and gym is great people are also really friendly who work there. Not too intimdating of a gym either.

Great place to stay and very friendly staff. Will go there again for sure!

Great place for swimming, not to many people and near home.xxx

I use the Health Studios and it suits me perfectly

Just for a conference. Nice friendly staff

Nice little gym and swimming pool

Friendly staff and covid safe

A large carpark to the rear and welcoming staff on arrival. The room was comfortable and clean, food was ordered over the phone to the front desk and was delivered straight to the door.
None of the facilities where available like gym and bar due to covid but enjoyed none the less.

Visit this hotel on a regular basis, excellent location and the staff are amazing especially Julie on breakfast and Dave on Recepcion would highly recommend this hotel exceptional.
Food is lovely and service is excellent

Stayed for 2 nights stay as a couple, plenty of car parking and a very nice and helpful guy (Dave) on reception. Some of the hallways need a fresh coat of paint, but not all. I'm sure this is in the maintenance programme, as it was obvious that a lot had recently been undertaken recently. The spa and swimming pool were included in the price, although we did not have time to use these facilities. Breakfast was excellent and our host, Julie, was very, very pleasant and helpful absolutely brilliant, she was a great host and made the breakfast experience very personal to us. Evening meals in the main bar were a little pricey for our budget, but there was an excellent carvery just up the road.
Very friendly and good value hotel would have no hesitation in recommending it or using it again.

This is a completely honest review..some good points and some bad points

Arrived for 2 nights stay as a couple ..easy to park and nice reception staff.

Where we stayed rooms / Hallways are very old and need painting ..its tired and I would expect more

Room is very outdated ...very old wardrobes and furniture..bathroom needs updating ..beds comfy enough and clean

We paid for a spa stay with breakfast and evening meal

Spa and swimming pool are again very old and need desperately updating ..they really need to spend some money on these

Breakfast is good with a lady called Julie who is absolutely brilliant..shes a great host and made the breakfast experience really pleasant

Evening meals is in the main bar by reception and this is where it went wrong.The menus say they cater for Gluten free but in all honesty the GF options are terrible. The staff try there best but the menu just complicates the issue.
(Only Gluten Free Starter is Goats cheese that's it nothing else)
(Only Gluten Free Main meal is fish or pasta)
In a hotel they should have more options than this and really need to try harder as a group that owns 700 hotels

The picture shows the lack of care the breakfast was left by the lift at 8:30am (not by us) and still there at 9pm the same day ..over 12 hours ...

We even reported it and it still didn't get moved

Management really need to get a handle on this

i have recently stayed at this hotel and trained as a guide dog useri was there for 10 ten days and can honestly say what a fantastic hotel all the staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble no matter how large or small it was that you were asking them to do for you i want to give a special thank you to julie who was in the breakfast room mostly and irene who was on the bar these two staff in particular were fantastic they made it feel like home always ready to help and chat about what ever you wanted it was sad to leave after a great stay i will return with my daughter as soon as i can 10 out of ten

I have mobility problems so the hotel was great having superb facilities. I had a disabled bathroom for example and the whole place is ramped making access easy.
There is also a heated pool and spa.
But the best part is the staff. They were brilliant - really friendly, kind and helpful - they went the extra mile to assist guests.

Good training facilities, happy with range of weights and functional kit like kettle bells/battle ropes in the studio. Always a good vibe in the leisure area. Good staff, especially Fitness Instructor Dave who is always welcoming & friendly, also has great knowledge and happy to pass on advice to help with your training.
Pool area is excellent and I bring my young son to swim here. Changing rooms are adequate, but could do with some refurbishment to freshen them up. A bit tired & some broken lockers, but a very good place to train overall.

The hotel staff is very helpful. During Superbowl, the staff stayed with me and watched the game. The Manager took the time to know my name. The rooms are very clean. The food is excellent. The bar served a Chicago local favorite brew (Goose Isleand), made me feel at home.

Friendly service in the gym from Dave and the other leisure staff. Nice pool and hot tub. Overall, a great little health club. Would have given 5 stars, rather than 4, if the changing rooms had had a refurb, as they are somewhat tired (though not as tired as me after gym/swim!)

Brilliant instructor. Helpful in the gym and friendly and always available for advice...good facilities including sauna, steam room, pool and a good weights/cardio section and studio to use. Also selection of kettlebells to use
