Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Latest Reviews
Location is ideal for events at either Bolton arena or the Macron stadium - it is just over 1 mile from either and accessible from either road or public transport.
The rooms themselves are fine and have the amenities you would expect from the chain - beds are comfortable and it is always welcome to have a batch available.
My rate included breakfast which I thought was OK but certainly not worth the £15 price tag. The range of options was adequate but if you are charging such a high price I was hoping for something special which was sadly lacking.
On this occasion I didn't get the chance to use the leisure facilities but I have used them on prior visits and thought they were good.

Visited in January whilst working in the area , arrived to be greeted by a lovely young lady on the reception who was knowledgeable and helpful.
The room was pleasant but a little dated it contained a four poster bed ,small sofa and desk. The bathroom was in need of a lick of paint but ok .
Wasn’t sure as to the spa area but the receptionist went out of her way to show me where everything was.
Went down to use the sauna and pool which was clean and tidy .
The only down side was the bar prices but was expected to be pricey.
Overall pleasant experience but could do with a lick of paint and a little TLC.

This hotel, although having a building which is 'tired' in places, is a fabulous place to stay. The rooms are comfortable, the staff very helpful and friendly. The food is very good, except for the lemon on the breakfast mushrooms. Excellent venue for special occasions including Weddings. The Suite in amazing, the only think it lacks is a set of drawers and an adjustable showerhead. Having the separate lounge in the suite is invaluable.

Stayed several times for work over the years and had a Christmas party there. Comfortable rooms, all you need to work. Reasonable food. A little way from town. Nice pool, great in the winter.
Good selection of beers. I prefer the rooms on the outside.

A really warm and natural welcome was received here. The staff seemed genuine. The beds were comfy and the family room large. The windows to our room were quite drafty and the seals had gone. Luckily it was Christmas day night so the traffic was minimal!
Breakfast at £11 per adult (free for kids) wasn't the best. Don't get me wrong it wasn't horrible but ok at best. The dining room was spacious and warm and again the staff were very helpful.
Pain free and speedy check out and being out of the room for 11am meant no rushing.
Overall. Good to get your head down. Go elsewhere for breakfast.

This is a really lovely hotel. The rooms were spacious and had everything we could need and more. I used the gym. It was modern and clean and the equipment was in good condition. The food was to a high standard, especially the American themed buffet we had on our final night. The staff were friendly and approachable and always happy to help. I would definitely recommend and this would be my first choice if I needed to stay in the area again.

Attended with work for two day training. Great venue, easy to find, just off the M61 but feels rural. Good parking, no charge and if park at the back there's a back entrance to the hotel, which also leads to Reception.
Ideal function room, good size, well laid out, with a smaller room attached as break out for drinks/ food. That space was small - some had to sit back in the main room to eat as there wasn't enough room but not a problem. First day lunch was great, lots of choice for meat and non meat eaters - both days we had fantastic home made cakes/ cookies on arrival and at breaks. Day 2 lunch was poor though, completely different standard and as a veggie all I could have were two dry cheese sandwiches, so filled up on cookies.
Dropped a star because of that lunch.
I'd return here for the venue and home made cakes/cookies though 😂

Lovely, cosy place offering leisure facilities including swimming pool, jaccuzi, sauna and nice breakfast selection. We stayed in privilege room and had Nespresso machine there - loved it!
The only let down was bar staff, they were half-asleep, making no effort at all to offer any good customer service.

Have been to hotel many times over the years this was just a visit to use the pool in the leisure club. Too many times trying use public baths gets frustrating because of lessons and clubs going on and family swim in public baths always falls at bedtime. Clean tidy area. Lovely warm water in the pool. Relaxed and calm with only 1 other child in pool having a swimming lesson. Cost was £6 per adult. My 3yr old granddaughter was free. Clean hot showers following the swim. Changing room was communal and cold but we wouldn't hesitate to return.

Good gym, nice staff, good service. Main negative is that the room that I was in needed a refurb as certain things looked quite dated, particularly the bathroom. Also had to keep going to reception as my key card stopped working nearly every night I was there, which was a pain as I was on the top floor!

I went to the Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel for a vintage fair and it was really good for it's size. Not a massive fair but nicely laid out and the venue was clean and comfortable. Had a cup of tea in the bar that was reasonably priced and a good cup. Friendly staff and plenty of parking.

A little tired and rooms a little dated but perfectly servicable. Shame the same cannot be said for the food. Went to order a basic burger and had to stop the server adding blue cheese sauce - who wants blue cheese sauce on a burger?
Abominable double cooked chips were heavy and greasy. I guess they are called double cooked because they are part cooked and allowed to cool before being reheated - last time I shall be having those.
WiFi worked well, plenty of hot water and adequate parking.
Will probably stay again but won't bother with the food

Hotel nice but if you like beer avoid at all costs. I was drinking Boddingtons and it was cloudy and tastes awful. My mate was on the lager that tasted like sweet ice cream. Ended up on the canned Guinness as they couldn't spoil that!! Won't go again!!!

Attended a day course here. Really easy access off motorway. Superb positioning with reasonable views of I think the start of the Pennines.
Whole place had a really cosy theme to it as it was coming up to Christmas though. I would definitely consider a stay there

Had a Christmas meal. The vegetarian option was not good (a ramekin of leeks in white sauce) although the chocolate flan for dessert was nice. The bar staff were overwhelmed and very slow- 15 mins to get served.

We came on National coach holiday for the weekend and found d the hotel very nice, good food and rooms very clean. The beds are very spacious but the duvet cover was very thick which hampered sleeping. But overall very nice hotel to stay

Even in the british winter this place seems to be a haven for flies. Bedrooms are comfortable enough but very dated and in need of updating. I would stay here again however and recommend to others looking for an affordable night

The room was OK. There were a few little issues like only one towel in a double room. The place has a general dated feel to it as well. Plenty of free parking though.
