Britannia Hotel Manchester Reviews (Manchester)

Travelled by train mid-morning and strolled to hotel Britannia to drop off bags. After some shopping, checked in mid afternoon, wasted about an hour doing that, everyone had arrived at once and the staff were swamped. Had a room on the 5th (top) floor, strange slanted windows obviously difficult to clean and the curtain rail was broken. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable but I was cold when we came in from our night out, the radiator didn't seem to be working so I plugged in the oil filled radiator. We had tickets for the theatre and visited a couple of lively bars beforehand, the blue parrot near the hotel and an irish pub on several floors. We were late coming out of the theatre but the Red Chilli restaurant staff were great and served us very promptly, we had a selection of delicious and different main courses. Our nights sleep was broken by some idiot setting off the fire alarm at 3.30am. Breakfast was fantastic in the hotel, porridge to write home about and buffet style for the full english. Finished off the weekend at the Manchester art gallery, free that weekend, will have to go back so much to see. I went to the john rydall church/library, the building was beautiful in itself and the exhibitions interesting.

The hotel was in an ideal location over-looking the marina with plenty of bars & restaurants on the street including a multi-screen cinema. Great choice of breakfast menu,staff very polite&helpful. Bedroom was clean & spacious with lovely view over the marina as was the breakfast room.First visit to Lincoln but will return. Lovely & clean with a mixture of old & new attractions. The cathedral & castle are not to be missed,& was surprised by all the modern shops.

Hotel right in centre of manchester. Leisure break for Xmas shopping and show at MEN Centre. Couldn't have wished for better accommodation.We went over the Easter period and this was excellent as easter attractions and decorations

Just one minor gripe - why did the people who greeted us in the breakfast room have to be so rude? Food was great and one of the chefs even asked if our breakfast was ok. We will go again..but just give breakfast a miss if the rude staff are working.

we travelled to manchester for our sons graduation ceremony at the lowery center on salford quays, ba with hons!congratulations son.We spent a short time in Manchester city center shopping the only 'downside' was the expensive taxi ride from our hotel to the lowery, two cars for 8 people one charged ?9 and the other ?12 for the same journey. we took the tram back to town center for ?1.80 each!if only we had known! anyone who has not been to manchester ever or not for a long time we would recommend you go and visit the lowery and salford quays and the city itself. the britannia hotel is bang in the middle of the city ideal for everything and is excellent accomodation with very friendly, helpful staff. thanks the young family, hull.
