Britannia Hotel Bolton

Staff very friendly Room positively gleaming soft white towels plenty of tea and coffee

Stayed at this hotel before and it’s basic but worth the money. Public areas were clean and tidy, apart from one table in the restaurant that hadn’t been cleared and it stayed that way until we left the bar area at about 10pm, don’t know if it got cleared later on. Our bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied and had a small amount of rubbish in it. The bed was fairly comfortable - although an extra set of pillows would’ve been nice. Staff were friendly, check in and out were straightforward. Plenty of car parking spaces.

Didn’t take breakfast. Room was good size. Clean & appeared to be well maintained. Bed was comfortable. Tea & coffee was provided. Iron, ironing board & hair dryer and a fridge. Bathroom good size, clean with bath. Shower over bath was exceptional. Easily controlled, temperature maintained at level set. Excellent water pressure with variable jet options.

The surrounding gardens were beautiful, a real pleasure to have a leisurely stroll around , and the driveway had a rustic appearance giving it real character,something of a French chateau. Walking into the hotel reception you are greeted with the mandatory scent you get from all the best budget hotels, I believe its eu de lambert & butler. The staff greeted us with smiles and having a security guard on the door really settled our nerves. The room was set to a 70s theme and the cream/brown tiles/decor in the bathroom was modern and innovative. A bottle opener attached to the sink desktop was very useful as I tend to ( like most people) have myself a bottle of chilled beer from the mini bar whilst taking a number 2. The deep pile carpets had various colours and patterns on it which again I thought was another great modern twist. The artwork on the wall was a nice touch , I believe it to be the work of the Bolton version of Bob Ross ,and setting the picture on an awkward slant again was kooky and rather cool, also if you close the bathroom door hard enough, it can detached itself, giving you the option to set the picture to your own desired angle. The towels on the bed , folded to the shape of a pigeon along with a fruit pastil placed on top of the pillow really was the icing on the cake .

Perfect size room, nice comfy bed, sufficient wardrobe space, fully working bathroom. Nice bar downstairs. Check in straight forward.
