Best Hotels near St Bartholomew, Bolton District

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Britannia Bolton hotel having read reviews I was not looking forward to our stay but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived, reception and corridors all spotless and the room we received was clean, comfortable and bathroom looked like it had just been upgraded, the staff were all pleasant and looked after you very well. Our morning started with a lovely breakfast good selection of cooked items as well as cereal's, toast etc not a large choice for evening meal but the price you pay couldn't complain.

My time here was really enjoyable. I was made to feel welcome from when I first walked through the door. The staff are extremely friendly, polite and helpful. I would also highly recommend the food, they have a wide variety of different choice from the menu. I tried many different things over my week stay and was all extremely tasty. Would recommend anyone to use the hotel for business or pleasure.

This venue/hotel has a lot of work to do. I booked a two-night stay for a business conference. To be fair, the conference, reception, and bar staff were lovely, helpful and friendly The room itself was basic. Only found the kettle when packing to leave as it was packed away in a drawer! No water was available in the room, so I had to go back to the bar to get a glass of water. There was a constant smell that I originally thought was coming from the bathroom but wasn't. It was musty and damp which kept catching the back of my throat and making me gag. The room wasn't cleaned, or the bed made during my stay - due to a shortage of staff - a note was pushed under the door. It is what you expect from Raddison! You can tell it is due to have a refit. The pricing should reflect that. I did say to the reception staff I should have stayed across the road at the Premier Inn.

The location is very good! excellent service! Bolton Center! Vintage hotel! Can only meet basic living! But the health situation is very poor? There is toilet paper inside the kettle that boils water! But you don't have a better choice in Burton! Because other hotels are estimated to be worse!

Really nice decor and relaxed bar space. Nice rooms with bottled water by the bed and rainmaker cleaning utensils. Great selection of drinks behind the bar. Really friendly staff - our night team was Reece and Vicky and they accommodated us beautifully. Also I totally whipped whipped chicken at pool in the bar!

We spent New Years Eve and have to say, it was a brilliant way to bring in 2024. Our rooms were lovely. They were clean, and beautifully presented. When we arrived at the Blazers Suite for our Carvery Dinner, the staff had prepared a table really close by, as I had mentioned when booking that a member of my party was a bit unsteady on her feet. The receptionist said there would be somebody ready to help her to carry her hot meal, and there was a lovely member of staff at the back of the queue, who was more than happy to assist with choosing and carrying the plate to the table. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the salmon and prawn starter, wrapped in the lightest pastry. The DJ was good, and the dance floor was packed all night. At midnight there was a rousing chorus of Auld Lang Syne. Only one little quibble, to knock a star off. I checked breakfast and check out times with the receptionist when we checked in. I had previously rang to check this information and was told breakfast 8-10am and check out 10.30am. I thought it worth another ask, as in previous hotels these were later, but the times were confirmed as above. I was surprised, therefore, to overhear the same receptionist mentioning a late check out to another guest as we were checking out. I queried this, and she confirmed both breakfast and check out were later, it being New Years Day. She said she had not been told about the change early enough, and apologised. After such an enjoyable evening, and a lovely breakfast, I was not in the mood to complain. However, the added half hour for breakfast and checkout would have meant we could spend a bit more time with my family, who had travelled from the Wirral to celebrate with us.

First the good bit. Staff very welcoming, helpful and efficient. Not so good. Ordered soup of the day, it was barely on the warm side. What’s hard about checking that food is hot before it’s served? Also, eleven quid for a glass of Merlot. Is this North Manchester or central London? Went to my room for a shower. The shower rail and head were incapable of being secured in a fixed position. The whole thing continuously drooped, sagged and slid around and had to be constantly readjusted. There were only two settings available for the water. A pathetic red hot dribble or a freezing cold dribble. No amount of swearing or fiddling and faffing with the controls made the slightest bit of difference. After a pleasant evening out in Tyldesly l returned to the Hotel and retired to bed. At approximately 5.00 am, l was very suddenly awoken by what sounded very much as if someone had crept in to my room in turned on a vacuum cleaner. Despite having established that no one was actually in the room and no vacuum cleaner could be seen, the noise continued for about five minutes. I was unable to find out what the noise was or where it was coming from. I returned to my bed. At around 9.00 am l started to have strange dreams about someone knocking on my hotel room door while muttering something about “ house keeping” the dream suddenly became real when this same person unlocked and entered my room, still blathering away about “ house keeping”. I suggested that he might wish to travel far and multiply. The room was mine till midday, what was he thinking? Later l went down stairs to find the breakfast room. I wondered around trying to find it, but could only find what appeared to be a 24 hour night club that was serving food accompanied by loud music. On closer inspection and some tentative, shouted, inquiries, it turned out that this was in fact the breakfast room. Has anyone ever, in the entire history of UK commercial accommodation, demanded or complained about the lack of loud music while eating breakfast? I very much doubt it.
