Morpeth, United Kingdom5 contributions1 helpful vote
Ideal location for business, with easy access to major road and rail networks. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms however are very tired, but I believe they are currently being renovated. Needless to say I would have given a higher rating if the room was in better shape. The food was good and the waiting staff very helpful and pleasant. Annabelle in the bar/restaurant never stopped but always made time to make sure everything was okay. The breakfast was standard with usual cooked breakfast option/cereal/ toast/ hot drinks and continental options. The view from inside the hotel to the football ground is impressive and Sharon Brittan was apparent during my visit a great connection with the fans. Can’t wait for the upgraded rooms I will hopefully return and review again at that point.

What a lovely surprise! We booked a pitch view room directly with the hotels website. Check in was quick and the room was lovely! Nicely decorated in keeping with the football club, bathroom was the best we've had in a hotel for a very long time. Amenities in the room where brilliant, dressing gowns a bonus! Plenty of parking. Drinks in the bar where nice and plenty of space to sit but the one disappointment was the lady behind the bar that night wasn't the politest when we asked if we could order some food, we missed the cut off by around 5 mins which was our fault but she didn't seem to take to kindly to being asked if it would be ok and said 'you want anything, you need to order from room service', fair enough but tone and politeness cost nothing - but other than this our stay was lovely. Very quiet, and slept the best I've ever done in a hotel. The room pictures on the website are old, they don't reflect the up grade especially the pitch side rooms.

Stayed at the Bolton Hotel for a friends Birthday Party - plenty of free parking,reception staff was extremely friendly, bar staff could not have been better and reasonably priced drinks. Thanks to Victoria (a star) for the upgrade to pitch view - rooms lovely and warm and you can adjust the heating simply. All in all a brilliant Hotel and I will be coming back

Dear Guest, Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your stay. We are naturally disappointed to read that you had trouble with the heating in your room. I have communicated your comments to the Housekeeping team so they are aware of your feedback. We do have instructions of how to use this system in the room and it can be adjusted without the app, I am sorry that you did not manage to get it working properly. I have made a note for our team to check that instructions are clear in the rooms, again sincere apologies. Finally thank you for mentioning that the room was up to standards in general. We do hope we have the pleasure to welcome you back to the hotel in the future. Warm Regards Bolton Stadium Hotel

Not exempolary but not the worst. You get what you pay for with this one. The rooms are very budget and have not been updated for a number of years, and you can tell. The decor and furnitures in the room have definitely seen some things. Sadly, it appears the rooms have been neglected when updating the lobby and other parts of the hotel. They do come with a bath, which is a bonus. The service at reception is brilliant, they're very efficient and friendly. I would stay here again, but only if there was an offer on the cost.

Dear Guest, Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your stay. We are naturally disappointed to read that you were disappointed with the bedroom fixtures and fittings appearing tired. I have communicated your comments to the Housekeeping team so they are aware of your feedback. We are in the process of making changes to the Hotel as you noted that the lobby has been updated and the public seating area on Level 1. I am delighted to advise that we are planning a bedroom upgrade, which has been long awaited after the Covid spell when it was touch and go to whether we would even survive re-opening our doors again !! We will use your feedback accordingly and look forward to welcoming you back in the coming months when we will have a percentage of newly refurbished rooms to offer you. Finally thank you for mentioning our Reception Team - they will be delighted that their hard work has been recognised. We do hope we have the pleasure to welcome you back to the hotel in the future. Warm Regards Bolton Stadium Hotel

This could be a great hotel but the cleanliness of the room, particularly the bathroom, was subpar at best. Our room was not serviced during our stay and while it was only 2 nights, I spoke to other guests who had been there all week and were yet to have their room serviced at all. It left the room short of toilet paper, tissues and with full rubbish bins. Others who enquired about additional toilet paper and tissues were advised to get it themselves from a storage room. The staff were helpful though when I enquired about Laundry services close by which was appreciated. The onsight bar and restaurant for breakfast were average though for the price paid, they were not unexpected. I would not return.

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.

Stayed over for the Carlisle vs Bolton game on Saturday. Nice welcome from reception and room was nice. Bathroom could possibly do with a Spruce up. Bar and restaurant area clean and tidy. Clearly new furniture in there. Drinks reasonably priced and they had a singer on which was good. Overall super stay, check out quick and again a goodbye and enjoy your day from the nice young man. Thank you.

Dear Caterina, Many thanks for taking the time to leave valuable feedback regarding your recent stay with Bolton Stadium Hotel. Bolton Stadium Hotel is currently undergoing some improvements, of which have started in the public areas and due to the size of our site, it is a lengthy project. The Hotel is now over 20 years old so it will take time to correct all the maintenance required, but I can assure you that some of the points you have raised are part of the overall maintenance programme. If you had raised the comments with Reception, we could have looked at resolving or looked at alternatives, subject to availability. I have also communicated your comments to our Housekeeping Manager regarding the comments you have made regarding the room. I do hope that the experiences you had does not deter you from using our Hotel as we would love to have the pleasure to welcome you back in the future, especially once all the improvements have been made. Thank you once again for providing us with your feedback. With kind regards Bolton Stadium Hotel
