Britannia Hotel - Manchester

This review is mainly about the hotel building and it's local amenities (there are some other reviews on here detailing visitors experiences). If you are looking for affordable accommodation in a perfect location in Manchester City Centre, then the Britannia Hotel in Manchester cit centre seems to fit the bill. Unfortunately however, the rooms, atmosphere and general politeness of staff are somewhat lacking. I would recommend staying somwehere else, such as the Portland Thistle hotel next door, or the Piccadilly Gardens hotel (a short walk away). The Britannia does seem to attract most of the stag do's in town and irish football fans when Manchester United ...  Read the complete review

This is a formal complaint sent to the Manchester local Authorities. To the Manchester Advice's Consumer Service We have decided to write to you to inform of a hotel found in the centre of Manchester, named The Britannia. After living abroad more than 25 years I was looking forward to going back to my home town. To our disappointment we booked by e-mail a room in this hotel for 5 nights.

I stayed here in the lead up to Christmas 08 and the hotel is simply ok. Its not the worst hotel I have stayed in in Manchester but it certainly is no where near the best. I had heard good reviews so I was dissapointed when I arrived to find the rooms were slightly old and tired. Could do with a lick of paint and some renovations. The bathroom was also not entirely clean , however when i pointed this out to reception they moved me. What lets down the hotel is the service and staff. Leave plenty of time for the check in and check out. I spoke to a friend on my return who also experienced similar issues. The positive of the hotel is the ...  Read the complete review
