My husband and I regularly stay at this hotel as a bit of a getaway and we were sent a very reasonable offer for an overnight stay. As it was our anniversary we decided to book it and have a bit of a break.
As always the receptionist couldn't have been more pleasant. We just had a basic room but always spotless and no issues at all. We used the facilities and the pool although small was very quiet for a Saturday and the steam room and sauna were great.
We did stop for a drink at the bar before heading out and I would say after living in the Centre of Manchester for a number of years, the drinks prices were a bit steep at £11 for 2 single brandies. Not complaining though as we chose to drink there when other bars nearby.
We paid for the breakfast and I do not understand why people are not happy with the standard. The food was very nice with everything you could want for breakfast - A cooked english selection, pastries, fruit, a cold selection of meat and bread, toast and coffee, tea and juice on demand. Totally worth the price.
My one and only grumble was that my husband had emailed in advance to advise it was our anniversary and that if possible could we have a room that overlooked the pitch. We didn't hold out any hope as we were booked under a deal but we didn't get a response. I understand that it is a busy night and we are not full paying guests but a courtesy email to just advise none were available would have gone a long way to making our stay perfect.
Other than that, a quality hotel with some very nice features. Will be back soon!

Stayed here on Sunday 29th April 2012 with my two children aged 8 & 9 years old, booked two rooms through Booking.com, also my sister booked three rooms through them for her family.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the staff were brilliant, haven't been anywhere in a long time where I have seen hotel staff so pleased to look after you with a jovial smile on their face!!!
We all used the swimming pool, this is a very small pool and not one for serious swimming, 2 women got very stressy that my children were actually enjoying themselves,shame on them!!! The steam room and sauna were very good and roomy, shame there aren't any beauty treatments on offer.
The rooms were clean and adequate for what we needed staying just one night, they were well furnished, a bit on the small side but no more so than any other city hotel. Ladies take your own hair dryer or use the ones in the spa as the one's in the room are terrible.
we all had breakfast the next morning which was excellent and again the staff were exceptional, the lady 'Naomi' took my children up to see the BW pitch, very kind of her.
The hotel is right on the Middlebrook Retail Park and within walking distance of the railway station, Asda, M & S, and loads of shops and restaurants. If you don't know Bolton it is some distance from Bolton town centre but you can use the train.
would definitely stay there again!!!

Stayed last weekend. Very nice 4* hotel situated within the Reebok Complex with a perfect view of Bolton Wanderers stadium from the restaurant windows. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. King sized bed for us. Don't know if all are that size
Roomy, clean bathroom. Liked the fact there was an ironing board and iron in the wardrobe, as well as a trouserpress in the room. Didn't avail ourselves of the spa, swimming pool etc. because we had a wedding to go to.

I paid less than I have done to stay in a travel lodge but that is where the comparison ends. It is unusual being part of the stadium but that added to the interest. The room was very comfortable with a view over the car park but being away from main roads means it is quiet. The phone did not work in the room and so several visited the room to try and solve it which they eventually did. Although it meant the stay was a little less relaxing because of this all those who visited were very nice and helpful. I had room service in the evening and enjoyed my club sandwich. The leisure complex is great and was quiet on the bank holiday Sunday evening I was there. Breakfast was excellent the usual hotel fair but well down in a nice setting with real trees. As I say for the price it was so much better than other bargain hotels.
I had checked if Bolton were playing at home and discovered that when driving to the hotel. This made parking difficult but I was fortunate to get a space. Although very busy there was no noise in the room. The game did mean the hotel bars were busy after the game but it did not stop me from enjoying my stay. The area has lots of eating and entertainment places if you don’t want to stay in the hotel and good road and rail connections.
One thing to note is that if you put the hotel post code in the sat nav you arrive at the Tesco’s car park with no access to the hotel. I had to ring and they gave me the post code for the football stadium which got me closer and I was able to find it.

Another day another De Vere offer. This hotel is actually in the Reebok stadium (home of Bolton Wanderers football club), and apparently some rooms have a view of a pitch although the norm is Tesco's car park. Hotel is not too soul-less but is definitely aimed at the business market, with Sky Sports on TVs in all public areas. There is an award winning restaurant (apparently) with sweeping views over the stadium however the bistro serves more than adequate fare and there's even a set menu if you're really hungry. The pool is quite small but sufficient for a pleasant dip. Very friendly and happy staff throughout.

Very nice hotel the only down side the in-room TV was very old and the picture quality was awful. Top brand hotels you would expect flat screens

Me and the wife booked here for an anniversary night on 12 May, and there wasn't a thing I could fault.
There are a lot of special deals once you get on their mailing list, so keep an eye out for those.
Check in was fast & friendly, in fact the reception staff couldn't do enough for us.
We requested a pitch view room by email, and after a small mix up we were given a number in the 300's (can't remember the exact number, but request this and you wont be dissapointed)
I'm a United fan so 'this isn't exactly Old Trafford" were the words coming into my mind. How wrong I was when we were given the room along from the restaurant, and I could almost touch the seats from our window!
The room also had a large double bed, Iron/board, tea/coffee making facilities, and a large bathroom with shower. A few people have commented about the TV size, but we don't go to a hotel to watch tele, and just wanted to let our hair down without the kids - so no problem for us.
There is the option to use the gym/sauna/pool but we just didn't have the time to do this,
We got ready and went to The Harvester across the road for a drink, then over to Scots Sports Bar next door.
After coming back and getting ready, we were booked in the restaurant for 7.30. My wife ordered the steak (£21) and I the lamb (£20), they were both cooked to perfection and came with all the trimmings. We ordered a lovely Chilliean red to go with it (£21) and had a very peaceful meal overlooking the pitch. Again the staff were great and came to speak to us now and then, asking was everything OK and commenting about Bolton's big relegation game the following day.
Some of the deals with the hotel include the meal and it works out a great price.
After tea we went back to Scots and had a great night, there was a disco on and the bar was chocca, met some very colourful characters in this place as well!
We'd pre-booked breakfast in bed the night before, and this came at our requested time (10 o'clock) and was again fantastic.
We will certainly be booking De Vere's Whites again, 10/10 for everything!

The hotel was pretty average. The bathroom could do with upgrading along with the television. The room itself was clean. The bed was comfortable. The kettle was tucked away in a draw. I had to ask for more coffee and milk as there was only enough for one cup each! I had to wait around an hour for more to be brought to my room.
In the reception area there was fresh eccles cakes for you to enjoy.
The spa was very welcome for a relaxing evening, however the towel I was given was not clean as it looked like it had some blood on it. If you go and use the spa make sure you check the towels before you go through!
There is a big retail park just a 10 minute walk away. A Harvester pub is just over the main road.
I would stay there again but only at a bargain price!
