This hotel is part of the Reebok Stadium and my room overlooked the pitch; a very novel concept which I rather liked. The room itself was very clean, well furnished and comfortable. The hotel is lovely and breakfast had an excellent choice of food on the buffet. The room was an absolutely bargain for this quality of hotel with a gym and spa attached.

The only thing stopping this hotel from a rating of 'excellent' were the difficulties experienced at check-in. There were three of us booked in and none of the bookings were correct. One booking was missing altogether and we ended up paying again for that one as we had some of the booking details to hand but not the bit that confirmed we'd prepaid (which we'd done for all 3 rooms). Luckily, we had all the rest of the paperwork as they'd booked us in for two nights each instead of one. Still not sure we got the bills correct when we left to be honest!

The location is great, there is a retail park right next to the hotel and the Arena is just yards away. Loads of places to eat and drink are just a few minutes walk away.

We stayed here 29th June 2012 as we were going to see Stone Roses in Manchester, I booked the hotel only a few weeks before our stay as the majority of hotels in the surrounding area were full. What a bargain, the hotel was lovely and we were able to use the spa facilities. It is in a complex so if you want the option of shopping there is plenty of shops to keep you occupied, if you want to go into the centre of Bolton or Manchester this hotel is just off the motorway so very convenient. The staff are friendly, the hotel is spotless, unfortunately we didn't have a stadium view, I realise now I should have asked for one when I booked but as it was only £29 I felt a bit cheeky, after reading some reviews now I wish I had asked. We did have a wonder round the hotel and had a view from the restaurant of the pitch which was impressive. The rooms were comfortable and I would stay here again.

We stayed here on our wedding night mainly due to convienience of traveling into Bolton. We got the pitch suite suite which was nice and the facilities were all there what you would expect from a De Vere Hotel.

The spa facilites where good and the breakfast choice was okay. I can't help feeling that this hotel now needs a bit of a facelift as its getting a bit dated.

Overall the stay was nice enough with a fantastic location.

Normally use this hotel for business, but took advantage of one of there email offers to stay there with my wife. Reception was efficient as usual & my enquiry if there was "rooms with a view" available was greeted with "I'll check" and a "yes" was a pleasant surprise. Most of the rooms look over the car park and main road, the "rooms with a view" look out onto the football pitch. Room was modern with everything working, and breakfast was good.

Once again, we came to this hotel on a £19 deal and once again, we were very pleasantly surprised. This time we were visiting as a family after the arrival of our little boy, now 6 months old. Our room looked out on to the car park this time, rather than on to the pitch, but I assume this was because we needed a bit larger room to accommodate the travel cot. One problem with this was that there was no way to get to the room without going up a few stairs which meant we couldn't take the buggy to the room. The room itself was standard with a hospitality tray (only one hot chocolate sachet and one pack of biccies though!).

We ate in the bar of the hotel and the service was great. They were very attentive and accommodating, getting a high chair for our baby and generally making a fuss over him! When he fell asleep in Daddy's arms, they were happy to let us take him to our room and for my husband to come and pay afterwards (wallet was in the pocket underneath the baby).

Again, the location was perfect for us as we came to do some shopping (next to a retail park) and enjoy the leisure facilities at the hotel. One quibble would be that children are only allowed in the pool from 9am - 6pm. As our baby wakes up at 6am on the dot, this meant that we were kind of hanging around for a long time after breakfast. The leisure facilities in the hotel are done well - lockers are now a refundable £1 to use, towels provided, good size changing rooms. There was a nice size pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and sunroom (didn't try this). There is a family changing room which has a pull-down changing unit for babies which proved very handy; only problem was that I had to lock the door to it whenever I changed my son as the unit pulled down right behind the door (meaning I'd be hit if anyone came in).

All in all, great value. Again. :-)

Stayed here as I had client meetings nearby the next day
Rate from hotels.com was very good value and the room etc was great (amazing view of the Reebok pitch from my room, as it also doubles as an exec box on matchdays)
Staff were friendly enough, but could have been a little more pro active. The concierge guy was particularly unhelpful and sent me in the wrong direction for my meeting and said that they didn't have any umbrellas, when they clearly did
Would stay there again at that price - very nice breakfast for £8!

We stayed for 2 nights at Whites. The staff had been incredibly helpful before our stay, with a problem with my booking due to illness. The hotel is lovely and modern, room clean, well equipped and comfortable. I used the pool, but didn't like the lack of natural light. Beware the lift that is marked to the leisure centre as it drops you in a locked basement (there is a notice inside, but I didn't see that till too late!). A bit scary I thought to be locked in. If you turn left our of the hotel, you are in the retail park. Lots of the restaurants were booked up on a Friday night, so may be wise to book a table. Turn right and go past the Premier Inn and you are at the train station. Trains to Manchester city centre are regular and the return fare is £3.90. Car parking at the hotel is free too which is a bonus. I'd definitely recommend this hotel and stay here again.

part of Bolton Wanderers Reebok Stadium so can't say what it would be like when a football match was being played. However, had an excellent stay in an easily accessible location. Very attractive hotel with very helpful staff. Room was excellent with all basic needs catered for. Comfortable bed and sound sleep enjoyed. Breakfast available but did not partake.

Stayed here one night on way to Manchester airport to pick up family. Easy to find, parking was easy too right outside the hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Room was nice if a little dated, old style TV was disappointment. Excellent but expensive breakfast. Would stay again if in the area.

We booked this hotel for 1 night to attend a 50th party nearby. From check-in to check-out all staff were fantastic, propably the best service we have received from a UK hotel.

Room was smallish but comfortable. We had a drink at the bar before we went out and the staff here were very accomodating and interacted with our 5 year old.

We pre-booked breakfast and were welcomed by a happy, smiling young lady. Breakfast was of a high standard and as we had arrived quite close to 10 o'clock staff asked us if we'd had enough before they cleared the food away which was a nice touch.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone (and we didnn't even get chance to enjoy the leisure facilities!!)

I booked my for husband, 14 month old son and myself to stay 2 nights at the De Vere White Hotel whilst visiting friends. The reviews on Trip Advisor were positive; the website looked great and the price we paid for two nights was excellent value. The hotel is very plush, well appointed and maintained. On top of this, you benefit for A+ customer service from all staff: reception, bar, restaurant, house-keeping.

Staff could not do enough for us: nothing was too much trouble, exceptionally friendly and the restaurant teams for Saturday and Sunday morning all made my son so welcome and entertained - even though he was particularly "chatty".

We later found out that on Saturday night, the hotel had played host to 3 wedding receptions, a private party and a boxing event - you would never have known, as all evidence was gone by the morning.

An example of the brilliant attention to detail - when we returned to out hotel room Saturday afternoon, the house-keeping team had taken all my sons rubber ducks, lined them up together on the bath edge so they were all chatting to one another...it made me chuckle but I felt so grateful that they had taken him into consideration.

We hadn't booked to have breakfast as part of our deal, but decided to partake. It was fabulous; great freshly cooked breakfast (buffet style); a wide selection of cereals, fresh fruits, yoghurts, pastries, cold meats and cheese.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone; friends, familes, weekend breaks. We will most definately return, and hopefully very soon.

Lovely hotel. Stayed for two nights. Staff were delightful and really helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Although we live in Bolton, my wife and I spent a night at De Vere White's to accommodate our our daughter's university friends.

The room was great, so was the service and the breakfast was superb.

We would certainly go there again in a similar situation.

This was our second stay at The De Vere Whites hotel. The rooms are small as an open wardrobe door actually touches the bed. The chair of the dressing table is immediately beside the wardrobe so if used this also blocks the space around the bed. A little annoying on occasions. Mattress could do with being replaced as ours was extremely creaky and sagged in the middle. Clean and tidy hotel, pleasant staff and ideal base for short commute to Manchester. Nice hotel but expensive.

Right i am going to keep this review short and sweet because there is not one thing to complain about.

We used this hotel as a stop off on our trip to Disneyland Paris, we stayed for 2 nights in a penthouse Suite 3rd and 4th June 2012.

I have stayed in some of the worlds top hotels yet never had the pleasure of meeting so many courteous staff.

The room was spotless and huge, the food was outstanding and the guy who cut my hair downstairs near reception was one of the nicest people i have ever met.

All in all without doubt one of the best all round hotels i have ever stayed.

Thank you to everyone for making our stay so enjoyable.

It proved to be the perfect start to a perfect holiday.

Booked here for two nights in June 2012; had a decent room overlooking the car park. Overall a good base from which you could visit friends/family, or travel to meetings. I would expect a salesman who operates from his car to be the archetypal guest of this hotel; would not find this hotel romantic (unless a Bolton Wanderers fan!). I think it is good value for money when you can get a special rate.

Staff: very friendly and accommodating. Check in process was fast and efficient, though more information could have been provided (for example, how to log into wifi...).

Breakfast: A reasonably large selection of cooked breakfasts, toast, coffee, etc.; some items looked like they had been under the heat lamps for a while but there was enough selection that you could eat healthily if you wished to do so; no obvious local food/produce.

Hotel bar: staff very friendly, accommodating, and welcoming - one of the best features of the hotel, in my opinion. Good selection of premium spirits and all of the normal stuff; prices were in line with what you would expect.

Location: convenient for motorway access and lots of available parking. Not sure that you would be able to do much (besides seeing something in the stadium) without a car.

Rooms: Although perfectly functional, rooms could be refreshed; first time that I have seen a non-flat screen TV in about 5 years. Rooms do have irons, ironing boards, tea/coffee, etc., all of which is functional. I could not find any air conditioning in the room (it may have been there, but not obvious), though a table fan is provided.

We stayed for one night Sunday 3rd June 2012. The reception we received was friendly and professional. We had a small double room on the second floor which catered for our needs. There was tea,/ coffee making, trouser press, hairdryer, double bed and bathroom.

The hotel bar area ia spacious and comfortable, the bar person was friendly and efficient. The drink prices were typical of a hotel.

The hotel also has a small gym, with 2 or 3 running machines, cross trainers, bikes and the usual weight equipment. There is also a pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. The changing rooms have lockers. ( remember you £1 coin for the locker) it is returned after use. The towels are provided free of charge.

Breakfast was buffet style plenty to of options hot and cold.

All in all we would stay again when in the area visiting frinds.

Strayed for 2 nights. Rooms lovely and clean, really good location at Reebok stadium, close to shopping mall with good choice of chain restaurants. The most outstanding feature were the staff themselves. So friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble, even cooked my son a late meal. De Vere Hotels, the staff here are a credit to you!

Got a really good deal on this hotel. Only £29 via Bookings.com (room only of course). On first glance-very impressed by the outside of hotel. Inside did not disappoint either. The young gentleman that checked us in was just so friendly, polite and genuinely helpful. We got in the room early which was a bonus. The retail park is practically on the doorstep. Very handy for a bit of retail therapy.The bar area is very relaxing with tasteful decor and comfy settees. Bottle of wine £18.50. Food well presented and reasonably priced. All the waiters/waitresses were helpful and pleasant. Our room was extremely clean and although not huge, there was ample space to move around. The hotel was really quite lovely. The best point of our stay was just how nice all the staff were. Everyone of them was friendly, chatty but professional. They are a credit to this hotel. The down side (if you can call it this), was that there was no restaurant open to have an evening meal. Apparently the Brasserie does not open on Sunday evenings. I just found this very odd! However it wasn't a major problem as bar snacks were available through till 10pm. Admittedly these meals were very good but not quite the same as having a nice romantic sit down meal. Anyway like I said it wasn't a major problem and did not in any way spoil what was a perfect stay at this hotel.

The hotel was pretty average. The bathroom could do with upgrading along with the television. The room itself was clean. The bed was comfortable. The kettle was tucked away in a draw. I had to ask for more coffee and milk as there was only enough for one cup each! I had to wait around an hour for more to be brought to my room.
In the reception area there was fresh eccles cakes for you to enjoy.
The spa was very welcome for a relaxing evening, however the towel I was given was not clean as it looked like it had some blood on it. If you go and use the spa make sure you check the towels before you go through!
There is a big retail park just a 10 minute walk away. A Harvester pub is just over the main road.
I would stay there again but only at a bargain price!

Me and the wife booked here for an anniversary night on 12 May, and there wasn't a thing I could fault.
There are a lot of special deals once you get on their mailing list, so keep an eye out for those.

Check in was fast & friendly, in fact the reception staff couldn't do enough for us.

We requested a pitch view room by email, and after a small mix up we were given a number in the 300's (can't remember the exact number, but request this and you wont be dissapointed)

I'm a United fan so 'this isn't exactly Old Trafford" were the words coming into my mind. How wrong I was when we were given the room along from the restaurant, and I could almost touch the seats from our window!

The room also had a large double bed, Iron/board, tea/coffee making facilities, and a large bathroom with shower. A few people have commented about the TV size, but we don't go to a hotel to watch tele, and just wanted to let our hair down without the kids - so no problem for us.

There is the option to use the gym/sauna/pool but we just didn't have the time to do this,

We got ready and went to The Harvester across the road for a drink, then over to Scots Sports Bar next door.
After coming back and getting ready, we were booked in the restaurant for 7.30. My wife ordered the steak (£21) and I the lamb (£20), they were both cooked to perfection and came with all the trimmings. We ordered a lovely Chilliean red to go with it (£21) and had a very peaceful meal overlooking the pitch. Again the staff were great and came to speak to us now and then, asking was everything OK and commenting about Bolton's big relegation game the following day.
Some of the deals with the hotel include the meal and it works out a great price.

After tea we went back to Scots and had a great night, there was a disco on and the bar was chocca, met some very colourful characters in this place as well!

We'd pre-booked breakfast in bed the night before, and this came at our requested time (10 o'clock) and was again fantastic.

We will certainly be booking De Vere's Whites again, 10/10 for everything!

Very nice hotel the only down side the in-room TV was very old and the picture quality was awful. Top brand hotels you would expect flat screens

Another day another De Vere offer. This hotel is actually in the Reebok stadium (home of Bolton Wanderers football club), and apparently some rooms have a view of a pitch although the norm is Tesco's car park. Hotel is not too soul-less but is definitely aimed at the business market, with Sky Sports on TVs in all public areas. There is an award winning restaurant (apparently) with sweeping views over the stadium however the bistro serves more than adequate fare and there's even a set menu if you're really hungry. The pool is quite small but sufficient for a pleasant dip. Very friendly and happy staff throughout.

I paid less than I have done to stay in a travel lodge but that is where the comparison ends. It is unusual being part of the stadium but that added to the interest. The room was very comfortable with a view over the car park but being away from main roads means it is quiet. The phone did not work in the room and so several visited the room to try and solve it which they eventually did. Although it meant the stay was a little less relaxing because of this all those who visited were very nice and helpful. I had room service in the evening and enjoyed my club sandwich. The leisure complex is great and was quiet on the bank holiday Sunday evening I was there. Breakfast was excellent the usual hotel fair but well down in a nice setting with real trees. As I say for the price it was so much better than other bargain hotels.

I had checked if Bolton were playing at home and discovered that when driving to the hotel. This made parking difficult but I was fortunate to get a space. Although very busy there was no noise in the room. The game did mean the hotel bars were busy after the game but it did not stop me from enjoying my stay. The area has lots of eating and entertainment places if you don’t want to stay in the hotel and good road and rail connections.

One thing to note is that if you put the hotel post code in the sat nav you arrive at the Tesco’s car park with no access to the hotel. I had to ring and they gave me the post code for the football stadium which got me closer and I was able to find it.

Stayed last weekend. Very nice 4* hotel situated within the Reebok Complex with a perfect view of Bolton Wanderers stadium from the restaurant windows. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. King sized bed for us. Don't know if all are that size
Roomy, clean bathroom. Liked the fact there was an ironing board and iron in the wardrobe, as well as a trouserpress in the room. Didn't avail ourselves of the spa, swimming pool etc. because we had a wedding to go to.
