Room was freezing as window wouldn't seal shut properly. The bathroom light flickered like i.e. a disco light when switched on. The whole hotel needs gutting out and a huge refurb. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The breakfast was ok but everything seemed overcooked or hard/solid probably because it was sat for so long in heated containers to keep it warm. Collapse

Hotel in a great location - 10 minutes walk from Piccadilly Station. Excellent public transport links to all parts of the city. Manchester is an easy city to explore on foot - even in the rain! Spoilt for choice on what to see - so many interesting places. Hotel needs to look at Health and safety re: large staircase to the five floors - easy to fall over a banister rail. Otherwise a great escape. Collapse

Hotel is quite basic and dated, it seems it hasn’t been spruced up for ages. appatently the hotel has a certain charm but is not great value for the price. The biggest issue is noise, you can hear every sound from the streets and nightclubs below

Myself and my daughter booked night away knowing hotel was old but expected much more than what we got i used a groupon voucher 69.00pd for executive room which was supposed to be a better standard than normal double and had windows full price was advertised over 130.00pd if i had paid that would have walked out with what we got. Third floor room very dated mismatch furniture rock hard bed bathroom had cracked sink bath needed re coating didnt even use bath wardrobe door fell off and coundnt use staff not interested glad only stayed one night to enjoy bars and resturants. It also included free breakfast which wasnt the best glad i didnt pay for it overall i would not recommend or ever stay again travelodge and easy rooms had cheaper rooms that didnt include breakfast but so many places around would do that next time on a very busy road dirty windows and curtains the only thing we did like was the staircase and the chanderlers Collapse

Stayed for 2days,very very old. not clean,town centre was bigger than expected, different hotel next time. Shower was not in proper working order, more than half of tv channels were not working, to use iron had to go to the basement in a room of irritated people waiting to use the one iron in the whole building! What a joke! Collapse

I wasn't expecting the Ritz when I booked to stay for two nights here, but I think the least a guest can expect is to not be allocated a room that's directly adjacent to rooms that are being refurbished. This meant I was awoken early in the morning by incessant loud drilling, loud talking workmen and their walkie talkies. This included being woken up at 7:30am on a Saturday morning by drilling in the next rooms. I promptly asked to speak to a manager who fobbed me off with a "we're doing refurbishment works, sorry" - I pointed out that at no point during check in was I advised my room would be affected by construction noise, and was given a refund of the money I had just paid for late check out, in the hopes of actually getting sleep. So in addition to the outdated rooms and facilities, the Britannia Hotel doesn't seem to care enough to allocate its paying guests rooms away from their own super noisy refurbishment works. Avoid like the plague, I'd rather pay extra and actually sleep. Collapse

We went for this hotel as it was as central as we could get for the most reasonable price. Its a very old hotel which they could use to their advantage but instead it just looks tired and dated. Our room was average but better than my friends as we had a window which then turned into a problem as the curtains didn't fit the large window. So much morning sunlight streaming in, is not good if you have a had a late night sampling Manchester's night life!! I think this hotel is a go to for what we used it for- basically a party base. We heard many a colourful things when back from a night out, so if you want peace and quiet, this isn't the place. Also our key card stopped working multiple times which isn't fun when you are on the top floor and find this out when you reach your room door. You then have to take a trip back down stairs to get a new card. Irritating really. Our wardrobe door was broken and we had a window which wouldn't shut properly. A plus note is the shower was hot and powerful and the bed was comfortable. Probably won't stop again. Collapse
