Stopped at De Verse Whites for the second time this week. Overall a well kept, well managed hotel. Totally recommended.
Rooms that look out onto the stadium are highly recommended

Staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms of reasonably high standard. The numbering on the lifts was confusing, for my room number the lift information advised floor 4, yet there wasn't a button for floor 4. I got out at floor 3 and a staff member directed me to my accomodation.....it wasn't serviced by a lift at all!
Perhaps it was because I was attending a business conference but the evening meal was of average quality and small portions. We had to select our meals in advance (2-3 weeks)and as there was no copy of the submitted spread sheet to hand, no one could remember their selection and as the last table served we unfortunately had to take what was left. It could well have been an organising member of our party who was at fault here. Excellent breakfast and very pleasant staff to look after your every need. Okay for a business meeting but don't fancy it for anything else.

we just stayed the one night between christmas and new year . interesting place to be because of being part of bolton football ground. shopping in manchester was our main aim so the nearby station at horwich a mile away was a big plus. hotel was modern and clean . room was good . we did not get to try any food .would use hotel again .

...because I would have been more disappointed if I'd paid the usual £70!
Room seemed very dated for the age of the hotel, very chintzy, heavy colours and clashing patterns. My main gripe was the poor cleanliness, drink marks all over glass shelves, crumbs on the floor and window sill and dirty paper coasters under the 'clean' glasses, yuk!!
On the plus side the hotel is a good size, with a big bar area, restaurants and the leisure centre (pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna), a great way to while away a couple of hours.
There was a match on the day we stayed (FA Cup drawn after we booked), so parking, check in, bars were very busy but it gave the place a nice buzz and bit of atmosphere.
Good location, just a couple of minutes walk up to the cinema, shops and restaurants at Middlebrook.

Booked 2 rooms for us and friends. The rooms were comfortable. Reception staff were helpful and pleasant. Felt welcomed. Small gym full of modern equipment, gym instructor kindly showed us round the gym and swimming pool area. The swimming pool was small but really lovely. Liked the low ceilings which made it feel different. Sauna and steam room was great. Location was fantastic for football, shops and restaurants. We didn't eat at the hotel, although I would have liked to have tried the food. We went to a restaurant across the road.
I would go back to the hotel. Value for money for the price we paid. I'll give the hotel top marks.

The architecture is unusal and impressive and the rooms took out onto the pitch of the Reebok stadium. This makes for a very quiet place to sleep when no matches are in progress. The service in the spacious restaurant was very attentive and the food excellent. I was recommended to try the soup served in a hollowed out cottage loaf and this was a great success. It was not very busy and it seems a pity that nothing is done to promote in-house dining: the dining room is accessed over an internal bridge but there is nothing to tell guests of its whereabouts.
The service in the breakfast room was also good and the food hot.
Negatives were: the room was cold when I arrived and I could not get the heating system to deliver. However, an electric heater was also provided and this did the job. The bedroom light system was complicated and no written instructions were provided. The bar staff did not seem to appreciate being told the bar needed a clean.

Not a destination hotel. A business hotel or there if you are going to the football. Little else to entice you there. Hotel was fine and comfortable. Difficult to get too excited by it, but equally no major faults. Had food in the bar area. Bar itself lacking in any character but food was good and presented very well. Good value for money. The rooms were fine and again can't complain, but nothing to get too excited about. If you happen to be there for business, happily book it.

Very friendly staff, everyone very welcoming from the second we walked through the door to the moment we left. Rooms were modern and clean, we got upgraded to a room with a pitch view which is really quite something even for someone who isn't a Bolton fan...or a football fan for that matter!!! Great all round hotel, food was excellent and the bar prices weren't as bad as we'd expected for a 4* hotel.

Best thing about the hotel is how easy it is to get to from the motorway. It is comfortable, clean and has a good restuarant. Service was very good, particularly as I had left something in my room and the housekeeper couldn't do enough to help. Only down side was the location. It is attached to the football stadium, on the edge of a retail park, so there was not a lot to do in the evenings.

We booked into this hotel last minute as we had driven up from the midlands. Even though there was a wedding that evening, they were still able accomodate us. They gave us a pitch room which was great. They quickly brought a cot for our daughter who was with us. The room was big, with the usual tea and coffee facilities, and had a bath with a shower which was good. The room was very comfortable, the company was perfect and its ideal for if you wish to visit Rivington the next day which was what we did. I can't wait to stay here again.
