Poor trainer/stadium analogy I know, but whereas beforehand this hotel was like a pair of Reeboks like the stadium it's a part of, it is now more like a pair of Hi-Tecs which are showing signs of wear. Very poor check in with a queue of 6 for the one receptionist on duty. Rooms are starting to get a bit dated, but are comparatively large. Watch out though for their rooms which don't have any access to daylight, instead having interior windows (with no privacy glass) directly adjacent to interior walkways and stairwells to reception. You could literally end up having people walk right past your bedroom window inside the hotel - seemed strange for a hotel with such aspirational standards. Getting a room with an outside window was somewhat ironic given the room was flooded with daylight at 4am in the morning due to the ill fitting curtains and large window. Buffet breakfast was superb, but in terms of the stay was left disappointed after a lengthy absence in making a return visit to this previously outstanding hotel. DeVeres need to watch out, the Premier Inn across the road provides a better overall package in my opinion provided a hotel restaurant/room service are not a necessity of your stay.

...carry on with your wifi charge. 21 GBP per day is absolutely disgraceful and the feeling that I was being taken for a fool spoiled what otherwise would have been a perfect stay. The fact that you try to charge that is one matter. The fact that you try to defend it and are not prepared to be flexible means that I have to mark you down.
This is sad because otherwise the hotel is as good as it gets for a large hotel. Spacious bars, excellent meal service and stunning bedrooms. (The room looks onto the pitch!!) Totally irrelevant to somebody like me who wants/needs 24/7 internet access.
Until it reviews its charges I cannot recommend this hotel to anybody who wants to send emails, surf the net etc

We stayed here on a 3 night deal, Bed, Breakfast and 40 quid towards an evening meal on the 1st night. All for 169 pound. Check in was smooth, great service, reseved a table at the Reflections restaurant for us in of the booths that overlook the Reebok Stadium pitch. The room wasn't the biggest I've seen in 4 star hotel, but cosy. Full SKY sports, huge bed, nice bathroom. Dinner at thge restaurant was fantastic, the service was top notch and the surroundings were great. Breakfast was equally as good, the staff couldn't of been more friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great, full english buffet style, continental breakfast also available. Juices, tea, coffee, every single national paper. Perfect. We also used the small gym/Sauna/Swimming pool and Spa for free whenever we wanted. Had a few drinks at the bar on th 1st floor while watching the world cup, again very friendly staff. I've read a few reviews on here and I'm honestly shocked at some of them, we experienced 1st class service throughout our 3 day stay. Well don Devere Whites. I've stayed in some 5 star hotels in London at treble the price for 1 night and they have been nowhere near as good as this place. ONLY 1 negative... they need to offer free Wi-Fi.

We have just returned from the De Vere Whites Bolton and must compliment all the staff. We were there on a 3 night package and from the moment we walked into the reception until the moment we left everything was first class. The hotel itself looks more like a 5 star and is very spacious. We had dinner in Reflexions on our first night. The meal was great and I must give a special thankyou to the waiter who went out of his way to make us all welcome. My son whos 10 got VIP treatment and his holiday was complete when he got to meet all the Bolton players on the Friday night.this was aft er he had watched the game.The breakfast was really nice and the staff were always pleasant and couldnt do enough for you. All in all we had a great time and will def be back soon

He stayed here as part of a wedding party. This hotel is comfortable and just like any other business hotel, relatively sterile and slightly tired decor. The bride and groom booked out 40 rooms for their guests and a honeymoon suite for themselves. All the guests checked in fine, but when the newlyweds arrived after their wedding reception they were told that their room had been sold!!!! Even after reserving half of the hotel. Seeing the bride in tears at 1am wasn't particularly nice and having seen other reviews of booking problems / dishonoured reservations, I suggest you look elsewhere.......

this is a decent de vere. unspectacular, but nothing wrong.
does a very good cooked breakfast.
all the staff are lovely and charming, helped by their boltonian accents.
a good location for a work conference, good transport links and amenities.
there is a nandos round the corner!!
the rooms were a touch on the small side. bouncy bed. sky sports. decent shower.
not very exciting, but decent

In September 2010, Nicky G said about Bolton Stadium Hotel
We stayed in early August, with our two children of 11 and 15 years. We had initially booked one family room next door at the Premier Inn but noted that this hotel were promoting an offer where if we booked one double room, they would provide an inter-connecting twin room FOC. Excellent! Two bathrooms which would speed us on our onward journey the following day. Son was excited to be staying in a football stadium too!
Rooms were reasonably spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The staff were very pleasant at Reception and at breakfast service, and the hot breakfast was delicious with plentiful supplies of fresh fruit, bread and cereals.
If I was picky over anything it would perhaps be the very firm bed - but then this is a personal thing and what's good for one perhaps isn't right for another so wouldn't prevent me staying again.
We were all particularly 'wowed' by the view from the restaurant of the inside of the Reebok Stadium - worth a look if you don't dine in there!

The hotel is integrated into The Reebok Stadium which is Bolton Wanderers home ground. The rooms are a good size, well equipped and the beds are comfortable. Bathroom is spacious and the shower is adequate though nothing special.
Breakfast was your standard buffet style hotel fair, nothing to get excited about but all edible. The bar and restaurant was nice enough but expensive as you would expect in this style of hotel. There was a smallish Gym and Spa but last entry was 9PM so I never got round to using it.
The staff and service was ok but nobody was particularly friendly or looked like they were happy to be there.
The location is very good as it is close enough to the motorway to be convenient without the noise and there is a train station a few hundred yards away with trains to Bolton, Manchester and Blackpool.
It is situated on the edge of a retail park so plenty of choices of places to eat like Nandos, Pizza Hut, a Chinese restaurant, McDonalds and Subway. Also there are lots of shops including Asda, Tesco, M&S and Boots. There is a Cinema and a bowling alley as well.
I only paid £75 a night B&B not sure I would be prepared to pay much more particularly if it was my own money but overall fairly good value for money,

I've stayed here numerous times and in the main I like the hotel.
Staff I have always found most helpful and polite - my last booking I believed was for a double room but was allocated a twin, went back down to reception and the team swiftly and politely changed it to a Double, it was my error on the initial booking.
The Hotel is clean, bright with pretty good facilities including a huge car park.
Down sides? To be honest very few:
Charging for Wifi in this day and age is a poor show and i would urge the hotel to review their policy (or the group if it is group (DeVere) policy).
The other down side that gets me every time I stay here for a function is there is no direct access to the Premier Suite as a guest - You can spend a fortune on new clothes and hair do's only to have to walk around the side of a very exposed venue open to the elements.
The two criticisms apart I love this place and am already booked to go back next month.
