Given the facilities on offer and the convenience of the location this place offers excellent value for money. The gym is fairly well equipped, the pool is a good size and I enjoyed using the steam room and jacuzzi. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance but given the quality of food in the hotel restaurant there's no reason to go out to eat. An added bonus of my recent stay was listening to the impressive singing of the Fijian Rugby League team whilst having a drink in the hotel bar. (Given how polite they all were and Wales' recent form they have become my adopted team for the World Cup!)
Minor quibbles: my colleague booked a table in the brasserie for six at reception on our first night. However the brasserie wasn't open that night and even the restaurant doesn't open until half past six. One of the waitress's told us this happens often.
Whilst moving the armchair in my room I found what I thought was false teeth but turned out to be plastic fangs, presumably left from Halloween. Makes you wonder how thoroughly the rooms are cleaned. Also the TV was an old style one with very poor picture quality. In previous answers to reviews the promise of new ones is mentioned so hopefully this happens sooner rather than later.
On checkout when I tried to pay for the meal I'd eaten on the first night I was told I owed nothing. At first we thought it had been charged to my colleague but the credit card number quoted was unfamiliar to us both. Needless to say I gave my card and hopefully the other guest has been refunded.
Despite the odd irritation I very much enjoyed my stay here. Every member of staff I encountered was polite and helpful, particularly in the restaurant, breakfast was great and the bar had a good selection of drinks available. Overall I'm looking forward to going back at some point in the future.

Stayed here for one night whilst on business. Whites in just off the motorway system and is part of the Reebok Stadium. Easy to find, ample, convenient free parking, ultra quick check in. I had the good furtune to be upgraded to a penthouse suite, lots of space, all very clean with a really comfy bed. I ate in the restaurant overlooking the pitch, which was novel, the food was very fresh and tasty and not too pricey.
Will definetly stay here again.

This hotel is part of the Bolton Wanderers Reebock Stadium. It is run by De Vere. The standards are pretty high in most respects. The room was comfortable and overlooked the pitch which was an interesting view. In fact the room is clearly converted into an Executive Box on match days as there is access (locked) to seats in front of it. All in all a pretty decent if standard four star hotel room.
There are a lot of large public areas to the hotel - geared to the large numbers when there is a game on. They are pleasant but a bit empty and souless when only a few people around. I believe there are leisure facilities but I had no time to check these out.
The hotel is next to a retail park with the usual range of chain restaurants you find in these places. The train station is nearby with a decent service to Manchester and Preston.
I was a little disappointed in breakfast - not much I could put my finger on but it just seemed a little dull.
I would cheerfully stay here again for business.

I am 3 weeks in to a proposed 6 month stretch at the Bolton Whites Hotel and so far I have to say I have been very impressed. Having come from a previous 14 month stay in a Hotel I did have high expectations and the staff have matched it in every way possible I cannot thank them enough.
The only reservation I’ve had as mentioned in a few reviews is that the Tv’s are in need of upgrading but I have been assured this process is underway and so that is a big positive.
There are several large communal areas, an in house hairdressers & barbers which I have used and they good a very fresh trim. The leisure facilities are a good size ( I do not swim but the pool certainly looks good)
Location wise its spot on within a stones throw (if you have a good arm) of the train station yet far away so as not to be disturbed. There is also a retail park around the corner which has come in handy.
The main thing that has left an impression so far is the level or service received from the staff. They all seem incredibly willing to accommodate requests across all departments which is not something I was anticipating at all.
Although I am here on business I would have no reservations in recommending this Hotel for personal use as it truly is fantastic. It is an extremely unique experience to reside inside a football stadium. As the months go on & colleagues & friends stay i shall gather feedback and update accordingly but i have settled in very quickly thanks to the staff here.

This is a good spot just off the motorway and great value.
An okay room, not latte but adequate, loads and loads of on site parking.
I didn't get chance to try breakfast or the gym & pool but would have liked to.

I stayed here as I attended a fair just across the road, so it was convenient to stay here and not in the city center.
In the evening though, options are limited and when you want to go and have a good diner, a taxi is mandatory.
There are some chain restaurants in the neighbourhood on walking distance which are fine when nothing fancy wanted, also the restaurant offers good food.
Otherwise it's a clean hotel with nice basic rooms, offering surprisingly silent sleeping.
I woudlnt stay here on a romantic trip with the partner, however for the business trip and a short stay this is perfect.

My second stay at Whites. I chose it again for its very good location, close to motorway links, local shopping, railway station etc. Lots of free parking on site. Nice clean room and friendly staff. Will use again when in that area. Still as older style TV's in room which do need an update. And in a double room why only one sachet of hot chocolate?

Was part of DeVere but not any more. Ask for a room with a view of the football pitch. Evening menu is a bit limited. Really friendly staff though. I would stay here again as it's in a good location. I booked on booking.com

I am rating this review as average overall because I am also taking into account the work Christmas party event I attended in the stadium.
The hotel stay was very good, the room was quite small but adequate for what we needed. Nice hospitality tray with hot chocolate and biscuits. Bed was comfortable and even though the old style television was in the room my husband still enjoyed the sky sports channel and was able to watch spurs play.
I had my hair done in the resident award winning hairdressers jiggi and it was well worth it as it looked great.
Check in was great and we were able to check in early at 12:30 which was great as it meant we could use the spa facilities earlier before they got busy.
It was match day when we stayed so it was busy but everything was well organised and ran smoothly.
Now onto the Christmas works do, well that wasn't so great. With a great name of Paul Heathcote MBE heading it up I was looking forward to the meal, it was actually ok for mass produced food with the desert of mint mousse really nice but the soup served just luke warm. The venue is massive and the way the food was served was horrendously disorganised, it was served by miserable teenagers who obviously didn't want to work a Saturday evening. It was rather humorous to watch as they sauntered down between the tables with a couple of plates each just chucking down wherever. It was like being served by Kevin and Perry half the time. The drinks are VERY EXPENSIVE, yes you get served at your table (good idea as the bar again is ran by inexperienced staff that struggled to find me a straw) but be prepared to pay £23:50 for a bottle of cheap rose wine.
To make it worse 8 ladies handbags were stolen on the night my friend included in that, I was told by one of the bouncers that this is a regular occurrence, which I get, but maybe pre warning could of helped, as telling my friend that "it's professionals who do this and it happens all the time" certainly didn't want you to shake his hand and say thank you, oh how I love a good know it all!
So off back to the hotel for a good nights sleep and better service. In comparison you would actually think it was ran by different companies not the same.
In summary use the hotel it's good, evening venue dissapointing and over priced.

I have recently visited this hotel on business and i felt the need to write this review after the fantastic service I received in the bar early evening and then later in the restaurant. I was served the whole night by Lee. He was absolutely fantastic and i couldn't have asked for a better person to serve me. He couldn't do enough for me and any questions i had he could answer straight away. He is a credit to your team and made my stay even better.
