Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Latest Reviews
After my second = last stay at this marvelous accommodation I sent a review and received a very friendly echo from the general manager. He asked me not to wait another 20 years before returning.
OK, came again 2 years later only to be even more impressed by this unforgettable place.
This time I brought my wife to show her a different quality of hotel experience as compared to the usual UK places we normally get.
So thank you folks, you have managed to keep this place in top shape for more than 25 years.

I recently visited and stayed at this hotel over 8 nights from the 24th March -1st April 2017 in room 443 to be precise this was a double room which was my home for over a week whilst I attended training at the hotel. The room was throughly cleaned daily by the wonderful maids who did a fantastic job. The hotel was very comfortable and I slept well for the duration of my stay and I liked having a room where I could fully open a window and also switch the heating of by my radiator so the room temperature was just how I liked it which is always a bonus. The staff in the hotel were all very helpful and accommodating to me during my stay which gave me a really good impression of the overall management of the hotel. The food was fantastic for the duration of my stay so recognition needs to go to the catering staff. I really enjoyed my training and stay at this hotel and this would make me stay at any Mecure hotel again in the future.

On arrival we found the room to be pleasant and sufficient for our stay.
Staff were friendly and polite.
Our radiator wasn't working but after telephoning reception, to make them aware, they fixed it for us.
Breakfast was lovely with a good selection. The swimming pool was great and a good temperature for my 2 year old.
The only thing I could fault was be the price of the drinks in the bar but being in a hotel its to be expected.
When we were half way home to Devon, the receptionist telephoned to tell us that I had left my iPad in the room...how honest, don't get a lot of that nowadays!!
I called back and after they found out how much the postage was, I paid with my debit card and it was posted to me the next day. Super!
What some people need to realise is, if things don't work or aren't how you wish to find them, you need to tell the staff as they don't use the rooms like we do so are not always aware of the problems. If it can be fixed or solved then there's nothing to complain about.
Would definitely stay again!!

We booked here as a last minute stop over for the weekend and I was pleasantly surprised.
It's a big hotel and has very polite staff.
Our room was spacious and had everything you needed. The bathroom wasn't the best but everyone has an issue with the stained lino flooring which has discoloured around the toilet. I didn't let this bother me as the facilities are good. I enjoyed a deep hot bath throughout my stay and had no issue with hot water (unlike the last review).
The bed was huge and I can honestly say I have never ever slept so well in all my life. I think it was a combination of quality firm supported pillows, large firm bed, soft covers and black out curtains.
When I eventually woke up in the morning I felt like I had been drugged as I just had such deep sleeps on both nights......it seriously was good!
Pool facilties are OK but need updating. Plus no staff around to get towels so we just helped ourselves behind the counter to get some.
We didn't use the restaurant as there is a good selection of branded restaurants at the massive retail park locally.
Loads of car parking.
Main negative is hearing people's doors banging around on all levels but I always arm myself with ear plugs.
Overall it was a nice stay and great value for a 2nights weekend stop over.

This place has everything from the gym and swimming pool to a sports bar and restaurant. The gym and swimming pool was clean and tidy with is unusually in some hotels I've previously stayed in. The only one small criticism I do have is with the restaurant is how long it took me to get my food roughly about 20 minutes and there was only me in the room. However on a brighter note the rooms was fantastic the space and size was spot on. The bathroom could do with being updated a bit but nothing the matter with it. The wifi in the rooms runs smoothly and the car park at the rear is big enough to park. Would highly recommend on staying here.

Needs renovation, furniture looking run down. The chairs in the bar also looking old, bit dirty and nt so comfortable. Personal was professional and helpful.
Bed was very good, had a good night sleep.

Clean but dated room. The hotel as a whole looked like it hadn't been decorated since the 80s. Massive big comfy bed and the pool area and Jacuzzi was a lovely added touch. Staff were very nice however didn't use the bar or restaurant as it seemed very over priced with little choice

This is a lovely hotel with excellent disabled room and good parking facilities. Breakfast was good although expensive. From a vegetarian point of view dinner was no go although it was very expensive.

We stayed there one night as it was close enough to where we were meeting family. The room was basic and needed updating, although was clean. The problem is the bar is so expensive £8.50 for a glass of Chardonnay and pint stella £4.50. We came back and had double Bacardi and coke and double vodka and tonic came to £19.80 ouch !!!!!! Take your own and drink in room far cheaper, and no we not cheapskates but do they not realise if prices were reasonable they would have more people drinking in the bar. Staff were pleasant enough. We would stay again but not drink there.

Excellent staff (Reception, Bar, Duty Manager) - although room very clean with huge bed very tired and in need of serious updating. Hate a plastic shower curtain that sticks to you when showering, room door not fitting properly and difficult to open, bedside light extremely wobbly.
However, was for one night and convenient position and good price (via website as central booking price ridiculous despite my saying what price was on web!)

Spent two night in the hotel as we were attending a family wedding.
Front of house was helpful on arrival
The room was spacious but very dated, the beds were comfortable.
The breakfast was ok, lots of variety and reasonable quality.
The best part was the swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and gym.
Excellent facilities!! Our children loved the pool and this all came with no extra charge

Staff were great. Room was clean and well kept. Was nice to have traditional central heating rather than noisy air units. The food and dining atmosphere was amazing. Didn't get to use the gym but the pool was lovely. Only thing missing was more info on arrival or an info-pack in the room; to say what services they have, where they are and when they are open. Oh, and no secure Wifi options made work difficult, but free Wifi was available without restrictions. Over all, I would stay again.

Rooms are typical of a mecure hotel. The Nespresso machines in the premier rooms are a nice touch.
Never eaten in the hotel for dinner but breakfast was fine but nothing special.
Bar is a bit unfriendly with no atmosphere and really uncomfortable seats.

I came to a 'do' here and stayed overnight. It is a convenient location with plenty of parking on site. The food at the function was good (though plates were stone cold), but I thought that the reception design was poor - receptionist was 'in the back' each time I went to the desk - would be better if the work station was to the side of the desk. I had a similar problem with the bar in the function room the previous evening, where the barman was in the 'other side' (the front bar) and couldn't hear my approach above the noise of the disco in our function. It might be sensible just to have an old-fashioned 'ring for assistance' bell! The room was OK - some updating in evidence - but the shower was pathetic and a shower curtain is not really adequate these days. At £72 incl breakfast (booked on the day), a rate I only got by 'joining' Mercure hotels guest club, I thought it over-priced.

I stayed at this hotel for a one night stay over as part of a group company planning event. The location was handy, easy to find and near to the M61. My room was clean, spacious and fairly comfortable.
The bathroom was clean however it seemed dated. Unfortunately the hairdryer was out of use although this did not cause a problem.
The hotel facilities & meeting rooms were average and a good layout for what we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food did vary, breakfast was good, dinner had a range of choices which did vary quite a lot in quality.
I wouldnt return to the hotel unless it is for a similar event.

Had our works Xmas do here. Lots of different companies celebrating all in the same room. Drinks were expensive around £5 a pint. Dining room was on a sub floor so had no cell phone coverage. If anybody lent their elbows heavily on the table the whole thing started to pivot upwards and threatened to throw all our drinks on the floor. The dance floor floor was a bit small. Those are all the negatives. None of them major. The place was clean, the atmosphere good, plenty of parking, easy to to get to, plenty of staff on. Had a good time.

Room is nice, the hotel is clean and well organised, the breakfast is a traditional English breakfast with a buffet of several things, including some continental choices and fruits.
A very good features is the fitness club with free access to guests and including swimming pool. Easily connected with Bolton and Macron arena, I suggest this place for overnight stays

Good parking. Easy off the motorway and access to surrounding area. Food menu is limited but pricey for what it is. Has a good swimming pool and gym. However, the pool is used commercially for lessons too and can be busy.

Lovely staff. Stupid expensive breakfast. Eleven quid or fourteen if you book it on the day? Who pays that? Nice room. Free parking. Stupid price for breakfast. Is that normal? I'm hungry.

Nice and clean Hotel, good facilities, plenty of parking spaces available. Friendly staff, breakfast buffet was tasty with plenty of choice. Water pressure wasn't great in the shower but was clean and done the job.

I use the gym facilities there. Although they are not great they are good for what I use them for. Machines a bit out dated and the jacuzzi as of 2 days ago was still not working after 2 weeks of it being reported.

Good but was allocated unsuitable bathroom having requested disabled room. That was only downside of good stay. Staff amazing. Beds very comfortable.

Attended for a professional event, services are good but limited choice, this is probably due to what was ordered. Facilities good and refreshments available all day unless the machine breaks down.
