Comments: More non smoking rooms would be useful. We had to delay check in because there were not enough non smoking rooms. They were however very helpful and good in providing my friend with a larger non smoking room when there where none left.

Comments: We stayed at the Britannia just for one night, but we would definitely go there again. The hotel is very nice and it almost looks luxurious... The room was well tidy and clean and the staff has always been friendly, available and smiling. It was a friday night, so the 2 clubs at the BF were a bit noisy... However they close at 2, so it is not a very big deal and - actually - why should one want to sleep before 2 on a Friday night?

Comments: Staff unfriendly constantly no knowing how to use their system and telling you that you didn't book what you did. Eventually they realise their mistakes but not a nice way to check into a hotel. Very old fashioned hotel, no attempt being made to modernise it. No duvets, only blankets.

Comments: We had two rooms booked, one double and one single room..When we arrived our room was given away and they tried to give us two double rooms and caused a lot of hassle. We booked online a month in advance and our booking ref even stated that a single and a double was booked..watch out!!

Comments: It' ll be better if they can improve their water system because if there is some water on the floor of the bathroom, it is quite to hard to remove them.

Comments: Hotel Britannia was great for a budget hotel! Highly recommended. I only stayed there one night but the location was great since I needed to get to the airport in the morning, the train station is really close. I had a good stay. The hotel is very tacky inside but when I stayed they were doing renevations so hopefully that will improve. it was very quite at night. Good hotel for those on budgets!

Quick taxi ride (or medium walk to Piccadilly train station) Decent ammenities - kettle, coffee/tea, free wi-fi is a bonus Building is unbeatable in character ... yet clean and up to date. Highly recommended as a budget hotel

Comments: The Britannia is a hotel with great character, the staff are lovely too. Only complaint is that the twin rooms are as hot as hell, even with fan, so avoid during hot weather!

Comments: This building is fantastic, i really liked just walking around to look at the furniture. Although, because of the weather, and lack of window, some decent air conditioning would have been greatly appreciated, i barely slept. I know it´s not often we get nice weather in the UK, but you should be prepared.

Comments: A nice hotel in a great location. My only complaint is that our room was very warm, even with the windows open, and there was no other way to cool it down.

Comments: We booked 3 rooms for 1 night and on arrival were told reservations messed up. They booked us for 1 room and 3 nights. We were compensated with an executive sweet which was tiny and only 1 bed. We didnt receive the second bed until 3a.m. We had to pay for the room and I lost my deposit I paid to your company.

Comments: The only problem we had was that our room was extremely hot, even when we turned off the heating. A bit uncomfortable during the night and morning. Otherwise great hotel, great location.
