Not satisfactory

I paid £82-80 for a deluxe double room. The new shower and face towel were left on top of the WC seat not on the bed which was not hygieneic. There was no plug in the wash hand basin so unable to collect water in sink for a wet shave or anything else. The shower dispenser was totally empty and unable to have a shower. There is a light between the external and internal doors that kept going on and off the whole of the night which partially light my bedroom. The WC was facing the glass shower very close to the glass shower unit and would be difficult to use for a larger person and dangerous. There were no curtains to the bathroom although the very large window had obstured glass at the evening with the light on you were visible from outside. The bedroom was up three to four flights of stairs at the top of the hotel, l was informed that there were only me and another couple staying that evening, with nine bedrooms I’m sure there would no one closer the floor level, nearly 80 years old it would have been appreciated. I had traveled from the East Midlands to Bolton to attend a celebration function for a close friend of mine and was very disappointed with the hotel. I was informed they only have meals Wednesday to Sunday as l was there on a Monday that was no help.

Poor and Poor experience

It was terrible. No bottle water in room and bar - was offered tap water. Given a smaller room even though i booked a deluxe room with king-size bed. No toilet roll in bathroom so i had to improvised when i used the toilet., no iron , no staff available to assist with anything. I used the back and fire door to leave. No staff available when i was leaving or checking out. Was not a good experience. Wont recommend.

Disappointing stay

I was advised that Breakfast can be booked and paid for at the hotel, this was not the case as they only serve breakfast at the weekends. No food available in the evenings, only a deserted Bar.

The only complaint I have on this property is that check in wasn’t super clear. You check in at the bar and if they are busy (like during a soccer match), be prepared to wait.

Fabulous hotel!

This hotel was even better than I expected. It's a Grade 2 listed building which is beautifully, and tastefully, decorated. Breakfast is only served at weekends but it was delicious and cheap. The bed was the most comfortable bed ever and the shower was so powerful that my husband told me it would 'sandblast my body' so not to turn it on full. A wonderful hotel with great staff that I would recommend to anyone.
