Nice hotel, but a bit lacking in directions signs once you get into the building.
Signage in car park is conspicuous by its absence, but it seems you can park more or less anywhere you please, judging by the totally disinterested response from hotel reception staff, who didn't event seek the car's registration details.
Eventually found my room which was nice, and well equipped (apart from the antique TV) but the carpet alongside the generous double bed had clearly missed cleaning from the previous popcorn-eating inhabitant.
Not nice to be walking barefoot over someone else's leftovers!
Has potential to be good, but let down by mediocre staff who spent a lot of time outside back door/side entrance smoking and making quite a racket below my bedroom window, thereby ending all hope of a restful nap after the 200-plus mile drive to get there!

basically a nice hotel but lacking a bit of something. We were checked in by a bloke in a tracksuit, very polite and professional, but he was wearing a tracksuit.
the room was clean and nice enough, if a little small, the TV was something from the late 80's and even though the room had been booked for two it was only set for one, one towel set, one bottle of water etc. None of this really mattered really but it was jut the attention to detail that prevents it from being very good.
staff were polite in the bar and restaurant, but beware, getting a cup of tea at breakfast can be hard work as staff go around with the pot rather than leaving a pot on the table so you have to catch their attention to re fill the small cups the staff are very pleasant I found, but if busy it's hard to catch them
could do better but ok

Stayed last night at The Bolton Whites.
I booked via booking.com and on arrival at the hotel, discovered that the booking hadn't transferred into Hotel's system, so I didn't have a reservation. The check-in staff was friendly and apologetic enough and luckily they still had rooms available.
The room was not the easiest to find and the lift didn't go to the level it was on. Not a problem for me, but there was a lady with a pram who struggled.
The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Like the other reviewers say, the TV isn't a modern flatscreen but that really isn't an issue - it worked and did it's job. There was an iron and board, two bottles of water and the general hospitality tray. The bathroom was fine and clean and the shower good - although personally, hotter water would have been nice.
Overall, a good, pleasant stay. A good night's sleep had.
Will be happy to stay here again.

We had an absolutely brilliant weekend to celebrate my birthday on March 1st, we booked for Fri 28th Feb 2014 until Sun 2nd March 2014, everything was spot on, no complaints whatsoever, our room was excellent (336),a very comfy bed, with bathrobes, thick white clean towels..... we had a pitch view room, we watched the Bolton v Blackburn match from our room, it was awesome to watch and loved the atmosphere of it all (even tho I'm not a footy fan myself) it was well worth the money and would do it all again with no hesitation. A very special mention to Andrew (on Reception) and Sally (waitress in the Restaurant) THANK YOU for making my Birthday extra special......see you next time, also to all staff, who do their job efficiently and courteously

Stayed here for my nieces wedding. The hotel was set in a great location over looking Bolton Wanders footfall ground, which was the highlight of my husbands stay. The rooms were very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this hotel, and stay there again.

Stayed here for our tenth anniversary weekend and it was fantastic. Clean plush hotel, good service, friendly staff. We upgraded to one of the better rooms which was a brilliant size and impressive. I hope the hotel continues to offer rooms at a reasonable rate. We didn't eat here but did use the bar. We will definitely be back. I'm only sorry we arrived too late to use the spa-when I booked the hotel in November it was in the process of changing from De Vere to Bolton Whites hotel so the website was not quite as it is now. Had I known or revisited the website we would have definitely have booked treatments as an anniversary treat. Nevertheless, it was still great. Thanks Whites Hotel.

Nice looking hotel from outside but room was average and dated, and looked similar to old style Holiday Inn Express rooms, food in the main restaurant was excellent and every effort was made by staff to ensure it was a good experience, which is tough when you are a lone business traveller. However the breakfast room is like a service station café, tatty furniture made it look very down market. Staff were all genuinely helpful

Stayed here during a confence. Room was pleasant and spacious. Some nice herbal teas included in the room tea making set.
Generally pretty quiet and peaceful but the soundproofing between rooms was not so good. Had a very giggly couple in the room next to me! If you're bothered by noise, bring your earplugs.

I am currently at the start of a week long stay and within 24 hrs have already noticed how attentive and helpful the staff are. Not just those who are managers either. I have stayed at other hotels where staff appear strained to be helpful, but these guys are more relaxed and genuine. Who ever employes, trains and manages them has done a great job, well done!
The food is really good too! Most important to know. Meals are better than their menu description. :-)
The rooms are very clean and well looked after, guess that is another reflection on staff who look after them. Could I suggest an option of lower tog duvets as I was so warm last night? Rooms are not modern, but comfortable with good tea/coffee facilities. I am a fussy bugger when it comes to beds and this one was great with mattress firm, but comfortable A useful bonus was that the room had an iron and ironing board. Not sure if they all do!
My room was one away from the bar with a door that must open and close when people enter my corridor, but am not disturbed at all. Do hear the odd thud around the place, but not an issue.
On the down side the tv only had a few channels and was old CRT type, not what we come to expect in this day and age, but was adequate. Am I the only person who thinks a radio/clock would be good in a hotel room too?
So well done Bolton Whites a great place to stay.
