Village Hotel Bury
Latest Reviews
Expensive rooms and relatively clean ( minus under the beds dust/someone's hairbrush/ extra TV remote) , we had been given two tea bags so asked for a few more and they never arrived, did spoil the wake up routine.
Unfortunate to have loud guests in rooms near us slamming doors and shouting all morning.

Contemporary rooms and pleasant staff on hand at all times. Shem and Alice were particularly helpful. My only reservation would be the time taken to get served food and drink. I'd put this down to being very busy, virtually every day I stayed.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights while attending a birthday party in the Vibe Room. Bed was super comfy but the good stops there. Very little personal service. You can check in, program your room card without seeing staff.
To get your luggage into the hotel, you either hoof it up about 20 stairs or walk around the side of the building to the disabled lift. It still doesn't get you where you need to be and no offer of help from staff.
There are no telephones in the rooms and in order to reach the front desk, room service or housekeeping, you need to download the Village app onto your Android or smartphone. The app is very unreliable.
There is no fridge, safe, Kleenex or glasses in the rooms. There is inadequate storage for your clothes as there is only a drawer in the desk and one beside the full length mirror.
There is no place in the hotel to even buy toothpaste and as you are in a business park, there is nothing close by.
This hotel caters to gym rats and business people, not for travelers looking for a nice hotel stay.

My first day back at the gym and my mind was thinking all sorts and I was going to cancel but I went and what a credit and great surprised I felt safe and it was a great example of how things should be done I felt like me again. Then I went into the bar area for a drink and again great service and the staff have obviously had great training.. Thank you for getting my life back on track

My rating has reduced for this chain after a number of changes that have occurred in the last 12 months at Bury.
No quiet public areas to socialize in.
Removal of lounge area.
Pub area converted to paid 'business lounge', with very little usage.
Parking charges now for stays over 4 hours except weekends.
The latter having an adverse affect on the pleasure of the gym members as it restricts the time they can use the facilities without it increasing drastically their costs. Personally it would add over a £100 per month for me to retain my use of the facilities lije I used to, in effect restricting my access time to 4 hrs.
Restaurant converted to two open area with large screen & settees (no sound sub-titles but with loud music blaring so neither able to listen to the programmes nor use the space to relax or chat with friends), mixed tables & chairs for brunch style servings (healthier options at a more costly price), incorporates in, the centre a large square bar area & on the far side a sit down more traditional style restaurant area, however the cacophony of noise persists, some may call it atmosphere, but for me it feels neither one thing now the other. The staff are still pleasant, but the feeling of having different spaces to fit different needs has for me been lost in the changes.
My current thoughts are & my friends agree we don't stay or visit to socially eat & chat anymore. It may appeal to others more, but not me & my ilk. A number have left for membership elsewhere and I'm considering this too. I like the people & the trainers here but if I can't get the service & quality of product I once did, not the enjoyment of the facilities, I may as well go to another closer gym, pay less & get more. I enjoyed the location & outside space in the warmer months but to lose that option to utilise that too due to excessive parking fees will drive me & many other members away.
I hope the managers look at the reviews, listen to the petitions & act & do the right thing by their members, as was done initially, by giving them passes.

We actually had an issue not with the hotel, but with behaviour of some thoughtless guests. The response of the hotel staff couldn’t have been better! They acted swiftly & without fuss. This is how you judge great service... when something extra is needed & it is delivered.

It's in a good location and reasonably priced, but the rooms are very dark. From a female perspective, getting ready for a night out is really hard as there aren't enough sockets where the mirror is. Drinks are expensive, too.

Have stayed in the past, absolutely great hotel, rooms are very nice, showers are soo good! Facilities fantastic with swimming pool and gym. Bar/restaurant great for food and sports which has recently been refurbished

I guess this is considered a nice hotel in Bury. There is a gym in the basement that is open to the public. The gym was nice. However it's an added fee for the hotel guests to use. Also, I was very uncomfortable with the fact that anyone can gain entry to the hotel guest floors. Especially as there is a gym open to the public within the building. You never know when someone could be lurking.
You also check yourself in. There is someone there to help you, which almost everyone needed help.

We had the most amazing wedding at the Villiage Hotel Bury, organized by the fantastic and lovely Tina who definitely helped our day go without a hitch. And the amazing Rod & who managed the evening and room set up. Wow what a guy. Nothing was too much. Our room looked fantastic and everyone had the best day and night. Thank you all so much.

A great hotel with a fabulous Spa and swimming pool with jacuzzis Sauna & Steam Room. The pool and changing rooms are warm. There is a wide variety of classes and the gym is well equipped and has a separate ladies gym.

Nice room. Welcoming staff weren't all that helpful and had mould in the bathroom which would suggest it wasnt cleaned as often as you would expect for what can be such an expensive hotel.

Became a gym member here a year ago and it's facilities have just got better spent a lot of money improving. Personal trainers have been a great help in reaching my goals thanks

Very nice place staff were very helpful and friendly. Went for a SPA day. Only down side is it's not a dedicated SPA so you get families in the pool so not so relaxing

We thought we would try the Village for a meal. Drinks were expensive £15 for 2 cokes and a gin. The food was good but pub standard. Would eat there again but not on a regular basis.

Overpriced food but generous portions. I had a pizza that I couldn’t finish and asked for it to be wrapped in foil for me to take home. Nope, H&S rules don’t allow for that. Ridiculous rules.

Staff are lovely, food is tasty, beds are comfy and the pool is great.

Huge and impersonal. I suppose some might like it.
Went there for a work's Christmas do and I have to say the food was outstandingly well below par. Would not recommend it on that basis.
