This review relates to my stay at the Britannia hotel in Newcastle next to the airport. My husband and I were unfortunate to miss our flight and had to book a room in a hotel at the last minute. On a positive note the Britannia cost only £39 for the two of us staying on a room only basis. However, I wouldn't have paid much more than this. The Britannia's rate was less than half the price of neighbouring hotels and therefore if you are in a hurry, or need somewhere to sleep for one night then you can't go far wrong. On check in, we had to wait quite a long time at the reception desk for the one receptionist to check in another customer. It was only 5pm so ...  Read the complete review

This review relates to the Britannia Hotel near Newcastle Airport. It is one of their better hotels, which in a way I suppose is a poor reflection on the company. We were checked in fairly quickly by a polite robot that covered all the basics about the hotel, breakfast times etc. and asked if we wanted any newspapers, wake up calls or a restaurant reservation. We were given the option of keeping the account open to charge to it or to close it then to ensure a quick checkout. This meant we were given a blue stamp on our guest card, to show we could purchase, but had we chose not to we would have been given a red stamp. She also pointed us to our room and told ...  Read the complete review

I stayed at britannia country house hotel in didsbury last year before going on my holidays to cuba. We opted for this hotel because it was close to the airport and had aiport drop off service, it also had the option to leave your car at the hotel while you was on holiday but we didnt do this. At check we were met by a Polish man who was very plesent and english was good, when we arrived at our room it was small but it was cosy. me and my partner didnt eat dinner in the hotel restaurant we went to a restaurant around the corner,and we left early before breakfast so i can't comment on the food. The room must have just had a new bathroom installed and the shower was ...  Read the complete review

I live in Stockport. My sister has lived in Spain for many years and has a Spanish husband and an eight month old daughter. It has been many years since she has been to England and so recently she decided to pay a visit for a week. Having checked some city centre Manchester hotels it was decided it would be best that she stayed somewhere in the Stockport/Cheshire area. She had worked for Brittania hotels many years ago and knew that they had hotels in Manchester City centre. Having checked the details on http://www.britanniahotels.com/ she rang the hotel direct from her home in Spain and booked a double room for her ,her husband and the baby. ...  Read the complete review

THE BRITANNIA HOTEL, BIRMINGHAM - August 2002 I am not used to staying in hotels very often, so when we had the big Ciao meet last weekend, it was a bit of a treat for me and I was looking forward to it. As it was, I didn’t get to bed ‘til gone 3am and was up around 8am, so spent very little time in my bed. (And no, I didn’t spend any time in anyone else’s bed either!) But I saw enough to form an opinion. Allie and I arrived there on the Saturday morning and tried to check in. We were told we couldn’t until 1pm, although this was extended until 2pm at some point later. The two women behind reception were friendly and ...  Read the complete review
