“We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Bolton for 2 nights. It was the friendliest hotel I ever stayed in in terms of the staff & the service was outstanding. In particular there was a man working at breakfast called Alpesh who was extremely friendly, helpful & welcoming and who seemed to really love his job & couldn't do enough for us. The other staff were also extremely helpful, curteous & well-mannered. The bar area & the breakfast area were light, airy and modern with a great selection of choices for breakfast. It is a brilliant hotel & I definitely will stay again!”

“I don't normally do reviews, but I'm compelled to - stayed here for an event in June and was really impressed with the Hotel staff. Everyone was super friendly and went out of their way to help me out on a couple of matters. I was racing the 70.3 event and they even put on breakfast at 3am for all the athletes (which other hotels haven't normally done). The hotel itself has been renovated recently and its pushing a 4-star, but I've given 5 star as the staff (Alpesh and team on reception) made it a lovely experience, good job!”

“I am working temporarily in Bolton and for the last seven months have been coming from Somerset every two weeks to stay at the Holiday Inn Bolton Centre for three nights. Working away from home is never easy, but the staff always go the extra mile to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone is so kind and thoughtful and the quality of the accommodation and food is always excellent. In a world where high quality customer care is so often overlooked these days by large companies, Holiday Inn at Bolton have got it right and are an exemplar for the very best standards of 'chain' hotel accommodation.”
