We came here for a romantic getaway.. the room and everything was fine apart from one plug out the two worked...despite this I'm just writing a review about the food.. Our voucher had provided us a bottle of wine and free dinner. Walking in the dining area you could see disorganised chaos. The majority of the staff were young girls, who were doing the best they could but lacked leadership.. finally sitting down we were informed it was a carvery buffet night. I asked if there was a non meat option to which I was told there was a veggie nut roast available.. Getting up to look at the starters raised my fears of long standing cooked food...the pastas looked stuck together, the salads limp, the mini quiches crumbled when you tried to get one , the cheese filled jackets were oily , the ribs grisly ...the melon was nice though.. Taking a break with the white wine...which wasn't great we tried the next course. When I asked for be nut roast I thought the chef was going to faint.. while he disappeared around the back I helped myself to some veggies..which were all over cooked and mushy..when the nut roast finally arrived it tasted generic..the meat was apparently good.. Desserts offered various pre bought cakes..which were nice..Overall the service lacked organisation like having to ask for plates, fresh food being put out and nut roasts not ready..I don't mind carverys but this was pretty poor.. read more

This is a review for the Sunday carvery. They have an offer on at two for £16.85. I'd say the quality of the food would of been disapointing if I'd of only paid £4. The soup starter was just warm at best. The beef was very dry and way overcooked. The roasties wher horrible. Of the 4 of us only one attempted to try and eat the meal. The manager did not appologise at all when we complained. Very poor for such a "quality" hotel. read more

We stayed for 3 nights the staff in the hotel are lovely and kindly moved us as our first room was very damp smelling. In fact the whole place has a slightly damp smell which we never really got use to. The room was nice but we had 2 single beds with single duvets which were a bit small (the last hotel we visited with single beds gave us double duvets which is much better). The restaurant is not very good, the staff are full of excuses rather than just sorting things out they tell you it is because they are busy when the place is not even full. We waited 40min for our food and it didn't all arrive at the same time! It is also rather overpriced and portions are small. Again they couldn't cope at breakfast, ran out of orange juice, never served us tea or coffee, considering they do this every day you would think that they would be better at it. Don't eat on a Sunday go elsewhere. read more

I was staying here for a wedding near this hotel For location price wasn't cheap I mailed a few weeks before see if I could get room with view of the pitch but on arrival it was the car park I got , even though one on my relatives asked on arrival and got one ! Rooms are a bit like a travel lodge , particularly the bathroom very basic and need some TLC . Again travel lodge much cheaper beside hotel so I'm comparing it to this Rooms are spacious Bed big Breakfeast was nice normal amenities . Staff ok depended who you got on the front desk was a bit Chaotic sometimes . Weird Numbers on lift means you don't get out at you number bit confusion Prices at bat bit on the expensive side . For the price I really can't rate it higher but was would recommend . read more

having stayed here one night I found it to be ok, nothing spectacular but saying that I only stayed for the night after being out at a 'do' locally and I left in the morning, so I didn't get to see much of the hotel. I had a small room that was basic and functional. I am sure that more expensive rooms would be a lot better. I didn't eat here so can't comment on that. Would I stay again? errr.. if someone else paid for it yes :-) read more

Well how the mighty fall. It can only be said, it was once the most sort after hotel in Warrington. Tired rooms and poor service now i guess the price reflects its new status Ideal stop for coaches and cheap deals. Changing my hotel for my next visit. read more

Whites Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Bolton, ABE

See all

I suppose it depends what the purpose of your stay is (for business vs sightseeing) yet I do recommend staying at De Vere Whites Hotel (especially for business, for conferences, for events in the area...). The rooms are quiet, spacious, very clean, a nice layout and very comfortable. The staff are great - professional yet down to earth and more than accommodating. The public and common areas are great and relaxed yet is a great working environment too with various areas to set up your laptop or even hold casual meetings and professional get togethers. Breakfast (if chosen to include to which you do need to pay for) is a large selection of warm and continental options with fresh food and constant service. A relaxing yet professional stay and one that is great for such a purpose. read more

Everything was going well, the room was clean and comfortable staff friendly and the bar the evening before really pleasant...until the Sunday morning when we get up early to use the gym and find it doesn't open until 8:30am on a Sunday ( the very day you are most likely to use it) so we decide to go for breakfast and discover it doesn't open until 8am on a Sunday! Me and my colleagues arrive at 8am and realise that the staff are ill prepared for the volume of people wanting to eat early to continue their journeys and are nowhere near ready at 8am. The single tray of eggs disappears in seconds leaving a queue of people waiting. The mushrooms were stone cold because the heat wasn't under them. The bacon undercooked and of a terrible quality for a so called 4 star hotel. There were no beans but some dubious looking black pudding which tasted of tomato!. The fruit was fizzing and finally removed after several guests complained. The orange juice tastes odd and then we realised it had been mixed with grapefruit by mistake. We had to wait ages for any bread to appear after several requests and when it did finally arrive there were no tongs and the servers wee using their hands! Then the fire started! The inefficient toaster clearly was not working and the conveyer belt was running way too slow so started to emit black smoke. At one point a woman was literally using a napkin to try and reduce the flames ( not realising she was in fact fanning them!!!) this became a running theme of people trying to grab burning toast as it stuck to the back, at one point a member of staff instead of switching it off just kept trying to get it out with bare hands or metal cutlery. The second tray of eggs came and went very fast so we ordered poached eggs which came spectacularly late after we had all pretty much given up on ever getting any decent food. As we left another plume of black smoke started to rise. Diabolical! read more

I have used this hotel on numerous occassion for business visitors coming to this area. I have also used the conference facilities which I found to be excellent. The staff here are well organised and friendly and are always willing to try to meet the requirements of the customer. read more

I've been to a couple of conferences here and to be honest I've not been impressed. On at least one occasion the food has been awful -- mass catering at its very worst -- and they don't really have the facilities for a large number of people to dine in comfort. On another occasion the main venue was cold and despite numerous requests there was no improvement in the temperature. The parking is good and the entrance is impressive -- but what good is that when the rest of the venue is so disappointing? I suspect it's a fairly cheap option for a large conference, but I wouldn't know as I haven't ever had to pay to use the place myself. If you're looking to book a conference I would seriously consider going elsewhere. read more

Great for weddings - a 5 star hotel so it should be. The leisure club is fantastic even if the pool is a little bit too small for a serious swimmer, but they'll lay on towels etc so the added value is tremendous. The parking is OK, although at certain times when its very busy they'll have to buzz you out of the carpark which is a bit of a pain but other than that I can't fault them. The bar and restaurant service is great - and when a friend recently stayed there she said the chambermaids were great too - gave her extra toiletries and biscuits for her kids, which was a nice touch. They occasionally do good deals from £69 a night which is excellent value. read more
