I had a really nice stay here. The room was a good size and comfortable. The health club ( no extra charge) was good and realxing, it has swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi. The staff, especially the breakfast waitress, were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend staying here.

This was my family’s fourth stay at the De Vere, I was attending a conference and the family came along for the ride. We have always enjoyed our stays here and had great rooms, this time there was a problem with the room and we had not been given a family room but we spend the first night in a double room with a camp bed for my daughter. Next day we were moved to a suite so that sorted the problem out and the staff were great at fixing this problem. We did notice that the standard of toiletries has slipped since previous years and we made this known to the management team and they admitted that this had happened and came from head office.
The breakfast once again was great with great staff in the breakfast room we did not eat dinner in the hotel so cannot comment on this.
Once again we did use the swimming pool which was clean and up to the usually standard.

We stayed here as my wife was seeing Westlife at the MEN area and we were travelling to Scotland the next day. We booked on the day and got a room for £60. It was a fiver more then the premier inn accross the road so i thought I might as well give it a try. Check in was rubbish. The women was not interested in being there and just threw a form at me to sign and did not ask about breakfast or dinner. I am not a fan of been asked twenty questions at check in but I at least expect the basics. The room was a decent size and the bed was huge. Everything was clean but slightly dated. It was a nice quiet room and tucked away from all the function rooms which was nice. I would not have paid the full advertised price but for £60 it was more than adequate. It is in a good location for accessing Manchester and I am sure it would be great if you are watching a football match there. I would stay there again but only if the price is comparable to the travel inn.

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

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!
