Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights wanting to get away from your Ibis and Holiday inn, wanting to try something different. The hotel itself is within a perfect location and there is an ample amount of car parking spaces available. We booked the classic standard rooms. The rooms are very clean and the beds are the comfiest that we have slept on at any hotel. The front desk are very friendly from the moment we entered throughout our departure. The spa facilities - pool and sauna is quite average. The gym was very well equipped with all the standard equipment that you would expect. We did not get a chance to try out the bar/ restaraunt or try the breakfast so cant really comment on that. For the price we paid we thought that we would be staying at a similar quality such as the Ibis or Holiday inn but we where very shocked at how much better this hotel is for comfort, value for money and service. Overall this hotel exceeded our expectation on all levels. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Bolton.

I've stayed at this hotel a number of times and have only recently felt compelled to write a review. I first stayed here in 2010, regularly, for about 6 months. My next visit was this week. Here is my review - and comparisons to 3 years ago.

When I arrived, I was greeted by a nice warm smile and a friendly member of staff. I was checked in and made my way to the room. I knew what to expect so I didn't pay much attention to the room at this point. I dumped my bags and went to the bar area. It's nice to see that they are now offering free wifi - this worked strongly in the bar area and pretty well in the room I was in.

I ate in the spacious bar area. The food quality is good and reasonably priced. I thought it was slightly cheaper than 3 years ago so maybe they've changed the menu and pricing slightly. Drinks, I think, are overpriced. £3.40 for a pint of coke...

It would be nice to see a larger screen, maybe a projector, in the bar area. The area is large with lots of seating, but a very small screen (32''? 37''?). On the night of the Manchester Utd/City derby, there were a lot of people in the bar. It just didn't work for me...

Breakfast is ok. Standard set up really. I found the bread used for the toast to be slightly stale - maybe is was sitting out too long in the morning, maybe it was the days' before bread that was being re-used...? The coffee is not nice, slightly burnt. The tea is ok.

Some of staff are friendlier than others and make more of an effort to smile and say hello. I found this mainly to be on the breakfast shift where there is less 'effort' made.

The room is standard. A relatively small size if I'm honest. There is a TV in the room, which I was surprised had Sky Sports on it, but was equally surprised to see it was an old school deep TV, not a flat screen, and the picture was fuzzy on most, if not all channels.

The 'Double' room was 2 singles pushed together, and because of this, the side tables and light switches were situated further than an arms length out of the covers. You had to get out of the bed, or really stretch over if you were to with them off. A small thing for some, but when you're tired, it makes the issue seem bigger than it is.

The sleep quality was ok. The beds were firm and there was a medium thickness duvet on the bed. When I'm trying to get to sleep, I like it to be as quiet as possible. That wasn't going to be the case in this particular room. The radiator in the room needs hot water running through it, it's not an electric one you find in most hotels, and the noise that is generated from it in a quiet room - you'd think someone was having a shower next to you. I thought it was loud. This is an issue I had 3 years ago and I was moved rooms which helped so it's not every room....

The bathroom was poor. The shower had been moved and the holes just had filler in them - it looked really messy. The corners of the bath/shower had dirt or mould on it. I didn't want to get close enough to check it out if I'm honest!
I've attached pictures of the bathroom as this is the area i was most disappointed in.

The gym facilities are ok. Some good weights, 2 benches, cardio machines, a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. I've used all of these facilities and they're ok. It's good to see you don't need to remember your £1 for the locker anymore in case they've ran out of tokens. There is a keypad system where you put a 4 digit pin in and that's your locker code. Nice touch.

Check out was simple but I was surprised to not be asked if I'd had a nice stay. At least then I could've told the lady 'no'.

All in all, a mediocre stay. This is advertised at a 4* hotel. Now, I don't profess to be a jet-setter, but I've stayed in a lot of hotels for business and this just isn't as good as other 4* hotels. Nor, in my eyes, is it a 4* - 3* at best. For a hotel with similar amenities, try the Mecure Last Drop Hotel. Good food and excellent gym facilities. Both better than here.

If it wasn't for the location for work, the free wifi and the fact there are gym facilities here, I would always choose the Premier Inn over the road. The staff are friendlier, the sizes of the rooms are bigger, the TVs are flat screen and better picture quality, the beds are comfier, the bathrooms are cleaner, and you get more for your money food-wise.

I hope this helps whoever reads it.

Just stayed here again for about the 4th or 5th time, as ever my short stay was excellent. It was made even better by the free upgrade I received to a penthouse suite, from what I thought was a very good room rate as it was. Amazing value. The staff both on reception and in bar/restaurant are always pleasant and courteous, a big bonus. Nothing seems too much trouble for the staff and they are always ready to engage in polite conversation with you. I also noticed that the right hand do to reception was not available but just loved the sign on it saying that it (the door) wasn't feeling to well but hoped to be back at work soon.......superb touch.....congrats. to the manager. I'll be back again....

Extremely clean, lovely staff, amazing architectural staircase, mid-blowing views over Bolton Wander's football pitch. Excellent conference ushering and food, 2 great evening meals. Free spa facilites. My only mild complaints - too many fluorescent lights and dark drawn curtains for the conference, and having to go up stairs to go down is a bit disorientating!

Not having visited the Reebok Stadium ever before, I was soon to realise that the De Vere White's Hotel was quite a unique venue.Whilst being a part of a number of exhibitors at the event, it was extremely convenient to have a hotel right next door to the exhibition venue that I was attending.

However, if you are attending an event I found that there were two ways to get through to the hotel from the exhibition area which essentially is the main reception for football ground, a short walk outside the building in a clockwise direction using the hotel entrance as "6 o'clock", takes you round to the men public entrance for what appears to be the conference/exhibition Centre. However if the weather is bad, the last thing you want to do is to walk outside. There is a route through from the exhibition Centre which takes almost the same amount of time although you do have to have your human GPS skills switched on. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and extremely well-run hotel with good facilities. Would stay again.

This was our first stay at Whites and we were impressed with the welcome we received at reception and the modern 'Art Deco' feel of the place. There was more than ample free parking, although I don't know what it would be like on match days. The location just off the M61 and near Horwich Parkway train station is very accessible and convenient. Manchester is only 30 minutes away by train.
Our room was comfortable but we were a little disappointed with the old style TV. The bath was a good size but the shower screen lacked a base seal and it was impossible to prevent water escaping onto the bathroom floor.
The buffet breakfast was acceptable, though a little cool on the first morning, but one of our cups and the coffee pot were cracked. Something I would not expect in a four star hotel.
Although we were generally impressed with the friendliness of the staff, the hotel information guide in the room stated "Please note guests are not allowed to bring their own food and drink for personal consumption on the property. A £30 fine will be imposed if seen or reported." In my opinion, this is somewhat threatening and not the warmest welcome to extend to hotel guests. However, the hotel is next to a large retail park with a good selection of restaurants and fast food outlets, so there is no need to eat in the hotel. There are also M&S, ASDA and Tesco stores nearby. So you could buy sandwiches or snacks to take away: not that I would suggest trying to sneak them past reception and eating them in your room!!

We booked a room here as we held my Uncles wake at a suite in the hotel, the staff went the extra mile the whole time including taking a group of the kids down to the pitch and a mini tour, amazing. The food was lovely and the breakfast had something for everyone. The room was clean and comfortable but did get really warm and as was patio doors leading to the terrace it was locked so couldn't get any fresh air in, lovely view of the pitch from room.

I've stayed here before and it was good to see the service is as good as before. The check in staff are helpful and smiley, which is nice. Free WiFi that works on the 4th floor.
Breakfast is very good - excellent porridge and fresh cooked bacon and eggs. Only tiny gripe was the limited choice of room drinks (only 1 chocolate sachet). View form the front of the hotel is boring - carparks, some rooms apparently look onto the Bolton football ground (The hotel is part of the Reebok stadium). Local taxis easily booked.

We stayed here on a bank holiday and we loved it. The service was the really good. The room was very clean with sky sports on TV for the lads. The breakfast was extra and we were glad we decided to have it as it was really good. We got back to the hotel late and the bar was closed but they could not do enough for us and opened the bar so we could have a night cap. We will go back soon.

I stayed a this Hotel for 2 nights whilst on business and was most impressed overall.The Conference facilities were light and spacious and just the right temperature,but the long corridors to access them from the main Hotel are quite tiresome.
The rooms were clean and quiet,in fact I slept very well,but I think they need to upgrade to flat screen TV's in the rooms and Air conditioning because it is very noisy from the road when the windows were open.
My only criticism was the breakfast,it was generally very good until I decided to order a ham omelette! After 15 mins. this omelette had still not arrived,on inquiry I was told the Chef had burned the first one and was now making me another. After another 15 mins. the elusive omelette finally arrived,by this time the rest of my colleagues had finished their breakfast! This omelette was the most disappointing I have ever eaten, greasy and over cooked with the ham just sprinkled on the top,not folded in.
Generally I would recommend this Hotel to even non football fans,like me,but don't order an omelette for your breakfast!!!
