Best Hotels in Bolton
Bolton sits between Manchester and the West Pennine Moors, and its hotels fall into town, motorway and countryside. Here is how to choose.
The town centre
A hotel in the centre puts the Interchange, the theatre and the bars within walking distance, and makes a trip into Manchester by train simple. It is the busiest part of town on a weekend night, so ask for a quieter room if that matters to you.

Middlebrook and the M61
Around Middlebrook and the football stadium at Horwich, close to the M61, there are larger hotels with their own parking and a retail park beside them. They suit a visitor who is driving and wants an easy arrival rather than a town centre setting.

Questions to ask before booking
Is reception staffed late? Is there parking at the door? Can you have a room away from the lift and the street? The answers say more about how an arrival will feel than the photographs will.

Arriving and leaving without fuss
Book in your own name, carry only what you need and let a friend know the address. Big match days at the stadium can fill the nearby hotels, so check the fixtures if you are booking near Horwich. As everywhere on the site, this guide is for adults aged 18 and over.
