I stayed here for business early October 2012. I had booked via laterooms, which was fine and was told on arrival that I had actually had my room upgraded, free of charge (always a good starting point). So I stayed in one of the Junior Suite's on the 6th floor.
The room was a good size and had all the usual facilties.
The only negative I would make is that the rooms are slighlty dated, but I imagine they have been kept the same since it was first built. Despite this, they were lovely and clean and all the bathroom had all the products suppled.
The breakfast was lovely and there was plenty of variety to cater for all dietary needs.
Despite being upgraded, I still felt it was a little expensive (1 nights stay, with breakfast on a Wednesday evening in October was £120+) but overall was more than satisfied with my stay.

I stayed here in mid- August for two nights: my pre-wedding night and my wedding night as we got married at Rivington Hall Barn, which isn't too far away. If you were having or attending a wedding at the venue (which is completely fabulous), then this hotel is well positioned. It'll cost about £15-20 in a taxi.
I had a penthouse room because I needed the space! It consisted of a lounge, bedroom and bathroom and is basically double the size of a standard room. I thought the bathroom in particular was lovely, plenty of space for me and my girls to do our make-up and get ready. The room would probably benefit from a full length mirror- although it does have a long mirrored panel it is made up of two seperate mirrors so you cant quite see properly at the join. After saying that though, its not a big deal and I doubt that the majority of people (non-brides!) would even register that there is no single full length mirror and I would not let this affect my rating.
Although typically for UK hotels, there are no safes in the rooms, you can use that in the office on request as we did.
We did not advise the hotel in advance that we were a wedding party although I think a few things may have given it away (the guests, the cars, the flowers, the dress!) and all staff seemed to make a special effort to be even more pleasant once they were aware of this. Special mention to Chris who served me and my husband complementary bucks fizz with our breakfast the following day and presented us with the cork with a pound in it, which he explained is a tradition in his family - thank you Chris it was very kind and thoughtful.
I had called De Vere in advance to see if they could do any deals for a wedding party based on multiple rooms but I was told that this wasnt the case. This possibly worked out in favour of our guests as a lot of people managed to book through laterooms or booking.com and get significant discounts on standard rooms. Just bare this in mind if you are looking to purchase multiple rooms- keep your eyes peeled, The offers came up a few times over an 7 month period.

From the moment we arrived till the moment we left the staff were excellent. My child was sick in the room and the sheets were changed within 5 minutes at half 3 in the morning. Staff tried to up grade me to a room overlooking the pitch and were very nice about it.
We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel and both were excellent. The pool could be a little warmer but the facilities were more than adequete.
My wife was a little reluctant to go as its attached to the stadium ad she thought it would be all about that, now she cant wait to go back. S
So handy for me coming down from Glasgow as it straight off the motorway and very handy for the nearby Trafford Centre.
Highly recommended

Stayed here for a short break with my husband and two teenage daughters. We took advantage of their £19.00 per room sale. The hotel is located next to a retail park with restaurants, cinema, shops and 24 hour Asda and Tesco (there is a small beauty salon in Tesco).. We did not eat at the hotel as I am not prepared to pay the prices they ask for breakfast (this is how they make up their money). If you don't like football, the Trafford Centre is only half an hours drive away with masses of shops and leisure activities (indoor real snow skiing, etc.)
Our accommodation was clean and the minor extras, like bottled water and biscuits, were still provided despite the rate we were paying. Clean towels were provided daily although we didn't necessarily need them changing. For environmental reasons, perhaps they should put notices in bathrooms (like I have seen in other hotels) which suggest that towels that need changing should be put in the bath.
One minor gripe is the noise of the hotel lift. As we live in the country, we are used to silence.Our bedroom (611) was the nearest room to the lift and the noise tends to start at 6am ish and becomes less frequent at midnight (we arrived on a Sunday and left Wednesday). The traffic noise was not as loud as the lift.
Given the facilities in the area and the price was paid, we would definitely return.

I stayed here on business recently and couldn't fault it. I got a great deal, a pitch view room and contrary to some other guest reviews, I thought the whole place was clean, modern and very well maintained. Put it another way, it was much better than my experience at a couple of other De Vere hotels I've stayed in recently.

What a pleasure to stay at this hotel, four star hotel with ten star quality.The staff were some of the friendliest and most efficient i have met, they really did go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and more lik a friends than a guest.

Booked this hotel last min as working in Bolton. Looked good on Internet but even better when I saw it for myself! Lovely place to stay. Asked for a quiet room as there just for work& couldn't believe it when I got a room which looked straight onto the stadium football pitch( no one playing at time I may add) but didn't expect the view as my window was from wall to wall . Room large & comfy. Only thing I can really fault was the tv was old& not flat screen. But that didn't really bother me so just being picky as room was very good . Reception staff very accommodating. Will certainly use this hotel again.

We had the opportunity to stay at the De Vere Whites hotel while our son attended a soccer competition. The hotel was booked to capacity between participants and regular guests. There was also a game that weekend. The hotel is built right into Reebok Stadium, the home of the Bolton Wanderers. The staff were simply amazing. They went out of their way to make sure the guests were accommodated and they couldn't have been any nicer. We were always greeted with a smile. I have stayed in other hotels that were at full capacity, and it was obvious. Not so here. The room was marvelous as well. We were given penthouse suite which has a separate bedroom adjacent to a living room area with a sleeper sofa which our boys used. The bathroom was spacious and there was even a towel warmer! We never had the chance to use the Spa facilities. The hotel is also within an easy walk of shopping. There is also a delightful breakfast served every morning. We will stay here again if we have the opportunity.

I have always booked hotels based on Trip Advisor ratings however following a recent stay in Egypt which certainly did not live up to it's Trip Advisor rating I was a little concerned relying on it this time. I couldn't fault this hotel, staff were most helpful and friendly, the breakfast had everything you could want and it was all fresh and warm. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless and very good condition considering the hotel is not new. The location is brilliant, loads of choices for meals within walking distance. We took the train into Manchester for less than £4 pp return, the station is only a 5 minute walk from hotel. Our first stay in a De Vere hotel and it certainly won't be our last
