Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Boltonia Hotel enjoys a great location, being close to the city centre and Winter Gardens, making it convenient for guests. Many appreciate the comfortable beds and the availability of on-site parking, even if some found it a bit tight. A highlight for many is the excellent breakfast, featuring a buffet with a good selection of hot food, cereals, juices, fruit, and yogurts, although one guest found the kettle in the room was dusty. The spacious family rooms are another plus for those traveling with family.

powdered eggs weak coffee

The room was clean and spacious enough.

The breakfast buffet was quite underwhelming. The scrambled eggs seemed powdered and the sausages tasted bland. The coffee was weak and the juice tasted artificial.. the selection was limited. The towels in the bathroom felt rough and thin. They definitely need an upgrade.

helpful staff quality ingredient outside parking thin curtain soft mattress low water pressure

The staff was very helpful. Breakfast had good quality ingredients and was cooked to a high standard. I had parking right outside the hotel. This was an added bonus.

There were no blackout curtains so it was light in the mornings. The mattress was too soft. That's just my personal preference. The water pressure in showers was good, once it ran for a bit.
