Stayed here for 4 nights as a team manager for the British Transplant Games.The hotel is great,very clean and good food.The WiFi is free and the much moaned about old style tv's have been replaced !.
Parking is plentiful and free and there are a host of shops and restaurants in the mall next door within 5 minutes walk.
The room itself was well equipped with a generous refreshment tray and the bed had the most comfortable mattress i have slept on in years.
The staff could not be faulted,friendly and efficient.in all respects.
Special mention for the bar and restaurant manager who allowed our little group to order from the bar menu but sit in the restaurant as they were quiet.Not only that but he sent various desserts through for us to try all free of charge.I think the chef was using us as guinea pigs !

Breakfast is self service buffet style and very nice.Plenty of choice,all replenished quickly and piping hot.

I would definitely stay here again,one of the most pleasant hotels i have stayed in for a good while.

We got married in the LOV suite at the newly named Macron Stadium and stayed in the penthouse suites in the Bolton Whites hotel.

Check in process was very quick and easy - I was a little apprehensive as I'd booked the rooms when it was De Vere before the take over but there were no dramas.

The Pure bar might be seen as a little pricey compared to pubs but as far as hotel prices go, they are reasonable. The Burnden Trophy bitter is a very nice pint too.

The staff in the hotel are always as polite and professional as you would expect from a 4* hotel, nothing was too much trouble.

The room itself was superb, large bathroom and large & comfy queensize bed. The lounge area was also as large and comfy as it needed to be. Granted the penthouse rooms didn't have a pitch view but I was aware of this beforehand and it wasn't an issue.

I live fairly locally to the hotel so unless I'm going to function, I don't have much cause to stay there but I would have no hesitation whatsoever in staying here again, everything about it is quality and value for money

I recently stayed here with a group from the Northern Ireland Transplant Sport team.
From the minute we arrived (never quietly!) The Staff were fantastic! From front of house through to housekeeping,nothing was too much trouble for anyone.
A really lovely hotel with great facilities,pool/jacuzzi/great gym etc...
The breakfasts every morning were absolutely yummy,everything on buffet topped up regularly, so no dried out bacon,the chef even poached eggs on request, even though there were both fried and scrambled already out.
The front of house receptionists even printed most of our boarding passes out for us too as we were leaving! :-)
No hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone. Just great!

I stayed here recently overnight for a business trip. The reception staff were very polite and informative. I ordered room service which was tasty and arrived really quickly - always a bonus.
The room was impeccably clean and the bed very comfortable.
Breakfast staff were really helpful and polite, and the buffet had a really good selection.
Overall I had a very comfortable stay and would happily visit again.
The only thing I could comment was that the music from the bar was quite loud so I could hear it from my room, but I slept through and I think it was turned down at a later time. Any noise conscious people may want to request a quiet room.

Thank you once again for everything and to the team on the day. Amy especially helped me out with a chair cover crisis I had! We were also really impressed with the catering (both meal and evening) and have had so many compliments from guests.

Please pass on to the team how grateful we are for everybody's hard work :-)

Best Wishes from a delighted Mr & Mrs Bray

We stayed here as we met for the first time at the stadium. I told the receptionist on booking, when we arrived and went to our room we found a card and bottle of wine from the management, thank you very much, our room had also been upgraded. All in all will book again and great value for money

I stayed here with work and was pleasantly surprised. Staff were very polite and friendly, the room, although fairly standard for a business hotel was of a good size and was clean. The room faced the pitch which is a nice touch for a work trip! My room service burger was very nice and took no time to turn up (was particularly impressed with that) - all in all made a boring business trip that bit more bearable. I would happily stay here if ever I was called to our Bolton site again! (They got my name wrong on the reservation but I can hardly hold that against them- and it was dealt with with no fuss and lots of professionalism)

Stayed here on business for 3 nights in July while at a conference at the stadium (where this hotel is located).
Overall the stay was great, the breakfast was nice and really good service throughout the hotel.
The hotel bar that we used was good but expensive as you would expect.
My room was fairly tired, but clean and the bed was extremely comfortable!

We stayed the night after the wedding which to be fair was decent. Good room.clean and good enough. Our only problem really was the bar staffs attitude on the night of our wedding. Really rude once or twice to our guest who asked for highchairs.. which we asked for the night before..lack of communication between staff.then they lost our chair covers and center pieces. Good but be carefully if booking for a wedding or party. . Make sure you get everything in writing after the cock up we had to which they did well and was lucky we could change day if good time..good but wont be rushing back.

A group of us stayed at Whites before Christmas.We all walked to a great Chinese Restaurant around the corner in the retail park. This is a good business hotel with some great rooms that are now good value. The hotel needs a refurb and some modern TV's though.

I've visited Bolton Whites many times and never failed to be impressed. The staff are very helpful and the food is delicious. They cater for large corporate events like the Bolton and Bury Business Awards magnificently.

nice hotel just 20 minutes from Manchester based at the old Reebok stadium now renamed Macron as they are sponsors for the next 4 years. Good business hotel as there are plenty of seating areas for meetings. Rooms are clean and tidy. Leisure facilities are also good and included in the room rate. Plenty of eating places on the doorstep if you don't want to eat in.

I Love this venue especially since it became much more locally owned. We have attended a number of events here and also use the lounge and bar area for one to one meetings and are always really well looked after. The staff are personable and happy to interact and spend a little time putting you at ease. I would happily recommend this venue to anyone looking for a small business event to a Huge corporate convention.

Location
We stayed at Whites for two nights (Sunday/Monday) as we were attending a business conference at the Macron (formerly Reebok) Stadium. It was the perfect location for the conference and close to retail park, but don’t be expecting nice views or scenic surrounds.

After check in we discovered that we had been given an internal facing room. The only window faced inside – a view of the main staircase from reception. Zero natural light at all, think internal cabin on a cruise ship! We immediately asked to be changed, which to be fair they moved us.

Room and sleep quality
Room was of fairly bland decor, but the bed was comfortable. Slight traffic noise on the main road outside at night. All in all it was acceptable, however, this semi-tranquillity was soon shattered. We had a very early wake up from the retail park lorries (those reversing warning beeps!).

Food
Very poor, mass produced and poor value for money. To be avoided. We decided to eat out for breakfast and dinner the second day.

Staff
Cleaning staff were of a high standard. We called room service to ask for de-caffeinated tea, I even volunteered to go down and collect it. My call was passed through to the bar, where I was told someone would come up and give us some. No one came up. Not what you’d expect from a De Vere hotel on a fairly quiet Sunday night.

Conclusion
Left feeling very underwhelmed. We paid a bit extra to stay here (rather than the cheaper options nearby) so that we could walk to the conference we were attending. We thought that the De Vere brand was of a high standard, but discovered that this isn’t’ always the case. If we are returning to Bolton, I’d be tempted to look elsewhere. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either.

Very basic hotel. The room was dark and pokey and the TV was about 30 years old!!! It was ok for one night. Breakfast was pretty bog standard too. Everything under heat lamps. Bar staff were very good, reception staff were average. As for all the photos they show you of the rooms overlooking the pitch and other rooms beware because they do have some tiny rooms they can stick you in! Quite clean but basic.

I Can’t quite believe it’s taken me this long to getting round to writing a review… my apologies.

So in total I spent a total of SEVEN Months consecutively residing at the Bolton Whites hotel and it was a very pleasant experience. Coming off the back of Spending 14 months in a hotel I had high expectations and I’m sure more than one ‘unusual’ request. I have to say the staff here met this with a fantastic attitude and proactive approach.

Service- As far as the service goes I cannot fault anything in this department. The staff here really went above and beyond the call to accommodate not just me as a ‘long stay’ but I noted several nice extra touches done for guests staying simply for a night or weekend. I feel if you have a little request you should definitely ask as they are very accommodating!

Value- Very hard for me to judge this as it was a business stay. I originally did feel the food was a touch pricy however the reflections menu and quality of food is exactly spot on for price. There has however been a fantastic addition of a carvery option which is a Bargain for what it costs so I would urge Sunday travellers to book in for that.

Sleep Quality- Excellent! I spent a few weeks in a pitch view room and the remainder in executive room and had no problems sleeping. The noise elimination is fantastic and I even slept through a couple of matches playing right outside my window as you will see from pictures. This is nothing to do with the quality of football I assure you I was just working nights.

Cleanliness- I owe a massive thank you to the cleaning department. The hotel was fresh as ever and I had a fantastic double act who’s names escape me. if you’re on the 6th floor around room 621 and some Portuguese ladies are cleaning your room… be nice and smile. They are amazing and do a fantastic job!

Location- One of my little sore points is that it is a little in the middle of nowhere. Now in terms of shopping, food, attractions like cinema bowling etc it is PERFECTLY located and within a 10 minute walk you will be in touching distance of everything you need including a train station with direct links to Manchester. However if it is a night out you’re after it will be a cab job back.

Rooms- I cannot say enough as they speak for themselves. If you can…. GET A PITCH VIEW ROOM! It’s just a unique and different experience that I would advise above and beyond a suite in all honesty. Many hotels have suites…. Not many can have you wake up and open the curtains to some hallowed turf!
Spa- I did not actually use the spa facilities as I can’t swim but I used the gym on several occasions. It is quite small however it has what you need and the gym team are more than willing to give a hand and advice.

Breakfast- what can I say about breakfast and the F&B team. In fact the catering side as a whole and bar staff were a god send. The food is great and always plenty on offer. Requests can be made for food choices and odd extras (I must have had 1000 cups and jugs of ice brought over). The team really was fantastic and I appreciate everything they do. Special mentions for Kevin, Lee, Vera, Olivia, Charmaine & Tamsen among many more.
In General I would like to say a thank you to Emma, ‘Uncle Buck’, Suzanne, Claire & Adam who really did do the hotel proud. There are several I haven’t mentioned but I’m conscious this is getting to be a long review but the front of house team were excellent, always positive irrespective of what was going on and the night porters came in handy on many an occasion.

I would recommend anyone considering staying to discount my words as proof and simply see for yourself.

Decent rooms,Food is not exciting and best to eat out.Great views over football pitch.High drink prices. Nearby train station gives easy access to Manchester,Blackpool etc.Reasonable rates for what you get.Staff in breakfast area a bit disjointed but nothing really poor.

On behalf of the Diocese of Manchester Education Department, I would like to thank you and your colleagues at The Reebok Stadium for all your help in staging our recent annual schools' conference. I understand that Siobhan met my colleagues before the event, to assist in the arrangements, and we felt that all your staff were very helpful and efficient. It all seemed to go to plan on the day. We look forward to holding our conference at the Reebok Stadium again next year

I had a room booked in this hotel , the reservation was made by my company
The reservation was for 7 nights. The amount of 900 pounds was blocked on my card before I had any say in it. I find this an affront. Apparently the lobby staff could not unblock this amount and they were only following "rules". Enough to say I did not stay so I can not comment on the Hotel internals. I was promised that the monies will be unblocked the next day. Let's see.
The comment by the young reception said it all ( to her colleague ) " could you please show me how to check in someone for more than one night"!!!

Room was very clean and spacious.
Only been back 3 hours and booked for another night in 2 weeks time.
I Recommend this hotel to everybody.
