Hotels Near Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bury in Bury

Stayed 2 nights for a wedding. Check in went smoothly. 2 single beds in room very comfy.3 coat hangers for 2 people to hang wedding outfits and 2 days /Night outfits!!!. Carpet in room was stained and needed a good clean or better still replacing.the bathroom !!!! I think its had a refurb but they forgot to replace the bath.where the bath panel meets the top of the bath was disgusting all it needs is a toothbrush to clean the gunge out.maybe the housekeepers need extra time in each room to get them up to scratch. We ate in the dining room on our first night. I had the steak and ale raised pie it was the best ive ever tasted. My 3 companions all had fish and chips which they all enjoyed but they could not eat it all( very large portions).we had breakfast 2 mornings could not fault it there was such a good choice. Full english, croissants and pastries, cereals, toast and fruit juice. The dining room and kitchen staff get 10 out of 10. But as i said earler housekeeping not up to standard 6 out of 10

Hotel was just about OK. As others we found reception a little bit frosty. Pretty much all of the hotel is in need of a refurb. Room was OK, but heated by ancient radiator so very little control over temperature. Our room (9) was cold in the evening and hot in the morning. After a day touring returned to the room to find it hadnt been made up. Had to go down to reception for more coffee and milk, empty the rubbish bin and leave outside the room,(still there the next morning) and tidy bath towels and make own bed. Apparantly if you want your room to be serviced then you need to ask at reception. But then of course it would be useful if you were made aware of this fact on check in. Didn't eat at the hotel, so no comment on food service. I guess overall just about adequate for the advance purchase price paid for the two night stay.

Stayed here with my partner as we had plans to go into Manchester, this is located really well with a couple pubs close by and the train station within walking distance. It wasn't a bad stay, staff were lovely and room was tidy with fresh bedding and facilities to make a tea/coffee. It was a little noisey with people banging and walking back and forward from the bathroom as you could hear everything from our room as it was located next to the shared bathroom. Breakfast too there was plenty of choice but could use some extra pans or somewhere to wash up. Great for travellers or people on a budget.

Stayed here for the pink concert. All the staff were friendly and made us feel welcome rooms are comfortable and everywhere is clean. Breakfast was tasty , it was busy while we were there due to concert etc . The duty manager dipak was very very nice and nothing was to much trouble, only gripe I had was the banging of doors by customers and cleaning staff especially cleaning staff they are heavy doors and they just walk out and let the door bang disturbing everyone. Maybe some signs on the back of doors may help.

Was impressed with the hotel layout. The outside environment did not seem impressive but the inside was fabulous. Would definitely book again. Breakfast was great. My friend enjoyed it. The kitchen made an omelette specially.

Spent one night here as I was travelling to a match in Old Trafford. The stadium is only 10 minute walk away. I requested a quiet room as I had my young son with me. I must say that they certainly did accommodate me. The room was clean and very small. The bed was very comfortable. One tip, if you want to charge your phone and use it while lying in bed, bring an extra long phone charger cable, as the only socket in the room is under the TV, which is in the corner of the room Its a maybe, that I will stay again. I got it for a great price. Overall, happy with stay. It is the basic of basic hotels! Heard from other that the tram can be loud, but I never heard it. Gregs shop next door in petrol station was handy.

We have just returned home after a three night stay at Astley Bank. On arrival, we were pleased enough with our room even though it looked a bit dated and tired. Friends joined us for dinner in the restaurant that evening and the food was good. On our first morning, we had breakfast in a small side room where we had the choice of fruit, yoghurt, pastries and a cooked choice from the A la Carte menu. All very nice. We had been informed their was a wedding that evening but as our room was on the second floor we weren't at all bothered by the noise and had a good night's sleep. Our main issues are around breakfast on the second day. Because of the wedding party, breakfast was a buffet in the restaurant. Also, on our last morning breakfast was again served as a buffet in the restaurant. On both days we were told to leave the restaurant at 9.30 sharp as the staff needed to prepare for lunchtime guests. We were also told there were no more pastries left as they had all been eaten. Astley Bank is a four star hotel but from our experience on the last two mornings, breakfast was not a four star event. We should have been informed that the A la Carte menu would not be available and, in our view, offered a refund. Our other issue was the over the bath shower in our bathroom. The water came out little more than a dribble, again, not what you expect from a four star hotel. The majority of the staff were very pleasant, with a ready greeting and smile. Mainly because of the issue over breakfast, we would have to think hard as to whether we would return. Any changes from what one might expect should be clearly explained upon booking.

Bed sheet had a stain, not sure if it was changed or washed properly. Found short hairs - about 5 on the duvet cover. Had a very busy day so did not bother to call the hotel staff to change the sheets as this was past 1 am. Dusted the sheets and used my shirt to cover the pillow. Needed sleep.
