Overall this was a great stay, and good value for money. I stayed here with my other half as we were going to go ape which was nearby the next day. I purchased the Love Sunday Special offer which included dinner, bed and breakfast which was only £30 more than the price of a double room. Considering breakfast for 2 would have been about £21 you couldn't beat it. (you can only get this deal on their actual website)
After settling in to our clean spacious room with a huge bed, we went and used the pool jacuzzi and sauna facilities which were nice and quiet and free of charge.
Unfortunately the reflections restaurant was closed and we were told that we could only chose our meal off the bar menu, despite the restaurant having menus at a set price they still allowed us to chose any 3 courses each off the bar menu to honour their agreement of a 3 course meal at the hotel.
Although its a shame we couldn't eat in the restaurant as it overlooked the pitch (you could still go in and have a nosy) we ate in the bar and the food was beautiful, we had some lovely homemade soup of the day, a main each and some yummy chocolate melt in the middle puddings. Some of the staff in the bar didn't seem aware of what was happening with the restaurant been closed and the meal deal but overall good service and they asked if we needed a break in between courses, which we did cos they were so filling!
Breakfast was great, better than I've had at other hotels, for example there was hardly any fat on the bacon which is always a bonus!
A lovely hotel would definitely stay again

We took advantage of a deal to stay at this hotel, the price was excellent and we had a lovely room. We enjoyed breakfast in the morning and found the choice and food to be good. All the staff that we had dealings with were very friendly and helpful. The pool and Jacuzzi were good and quiet so had chance to swim in private. The views from the restaurant overlook the Bolton fc football pitch which is an amazing setting for dinner. There is an industrial estate nearby with a selection of shops and a very good choice of restaurants. The prices in the hotel bar were good too and we even met a celebrity footballer in the bar. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would return.

Stayed in this hotel quite a few times now, very handy for Manchester city,Trafford centre, and Bolton city centre. Great rooms, great breakfast, if there was any complaint at all it would be the bar prices, but these are no worse than any other hotel of similar quailty. Will certainly stay again.

I had the pleasure of staying at the De Vere Whites Hotel at the Reebok Stadium last week, and can tell you that it is a very pleasant experience. The parking is right at the door and is free, and the hotel itself is very interesting, especially as the prive via Trivago wa sonly £49 for a double room.
The fact that it is part of a football stadium makes for the initial appeal, but this theme isn't really carried out anywhere else in the hotel. This was a shame for me, but I suspect other travellers may actually be relieved by this!
Reception and check in were first rate, and the interior of the hotel is very interesting indeed. A central staircase leads you up to various different levels for sitting, the bar, the restaurant and so on. The only criticism I would have is the restaurant lacks a little soul - it feels a bit sterile.
You will need to let them know if you're not capable of managing stairs too. There is a lift, of course, but I still had to go up a small flight of stairs after the lift to get to my room. I was also left waiting to check out as there was only one member of staff working. A minor point, but if I had been in a bit of a rush to leave to get to an appointment or some such I would have been more annoyed by this.
Overall a good experience, though, and if I'm ever staying in Bolton again I shall certainly think to stay here.

The rooms in this hotel are the real talking point, mine had a full length view of the football pitch! This is definitely a novelty that didn't wear off on our party. The rooms & hotel are clean & well maintained. The restaurant was just ok, there was nothing wrong with the food or decor but nothing to write home about either. The bar shut about 11am despite there being a crowd of 20+ people over several parties still there. In the end the night porter served everyone! The retail park next door provided plenty of amenities despite the hotel looking like it was in the middle of no-where. Overall a good hotel for a night or two.

Excellent parking facilities, warm, comfortable room and great breakfast selection - the latter was particularly welcome after the night before.
Other reviews consistently mention the excellent standard of staff/service, however, on both occasions I have stayed, this has not been my experience. I'm not one for nit-picking, and I generally disagree with people who pick fault at minor issues, but because the same thing has happened twice I feel I should comment. The reception staff on both occasions were having personal conversations across the counter while people waited to check in. During breakfast the next morning, the serving staff were very polite and helpful, although as we were leaving, the two members of staff by the exit decided it would be absolutely hilarious to adopt the mannerisms of 14 year old girls, complete with giggling, a sarcastic 'bye now' and a few evil glares thrown in. I've been a 14 year girl, but thankfully grew out of that behaviour. I can only imagine they were a little bit miffed they had to work on a Sunday morning, but that's life for you.

Having come from the seventh circle of hell of a certain Daresbury hotel that a corporate booking function required me to sleep at I could have slept in a skip behind the back of a supermarket and given this one three stars.
I arrived here.
Clean, friendly, awe inspiring surroundings, helpful staff, comfortable, well equipped, easy IT access, big room, all I need, happy people around and about.
Need I say more.
Cracking hotel. Thanks you for making the rest of my week better.

My husband and I stayed in one of the pitchview rooms for a surprise 30th Birthday treat. The room was a good size and very clean. For the quality and service, the price was very reasonable too. The bed was very comfortable and the view of the pitch from the window was brilliant! We watched the match from our room and at first thought there would be no atmosphere but this was not the case. we could here the fans below and felt part of the crowd - only warmer! The staff even placed banners and balloons around the room after I asked if this was possible. This was a really nice touch and they didn't even charge me. In the morning, we went for breakfast which was buffet style. There was so much choice and all the food was hot and well prepared. Throughout our stay, all the staff were very friendly and helpful and there were ample parking spaces. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We have since stayed at this hotel again and found the quality just as good. This is also the only hotel I have stayed in that had a powerful hairdryer. The only extra item i would have found helpful is a card with the basic information on such as check out times and room service hours but the staff happily answered our questions so this was not a problem. We will definitely stay again.
