This just about a 3 star hotel. The staff were good and friendly but the building is old and tired and as such there is quite a long list of things that need significant improvement. The most frustrating feature was the very low water pressure which made showering a poor experience and toilets when flushed took forever to work again. The towels were quite small and no floor mat was supplied so the whole showering experience was frustrating.

This is pretty basic budget accommodation. It has seen better days. It's a bit of a hike to get up over the hill to where the restaurants and businesses are. The parking worked out well although not included in the price. No issues with reception or billing. It does the job you just don't get that special feeling you get when you walk into the lobby of a nicer hotel.

The hotel is nice staff friendly. No complaints about the accommodation. The thing that let the hotel down was the food really bad all that was on offer was not great at all. I found one of the kitchen staff very rude and not friendly at all.

The hotel was very run down, and the staff were very unprofessional. On multiple occasions. There were many health and safety risks. In terms of fire doors obstructed, trip and fall hazards. Overall, beyond basic, and not really budget friendly.

We were allocated room 27, a room without any windows or any ventilation. We did not have air conditioning. The car park had bins overflowing with rubbish. it was a filthy environment. I will spend every remaining day of my life warning people not to go anywhere near the Britannia hotel

Only stayed 1 of the nights of our 2 booked and paid for. Shabby hotel, very uncomfortable bed with springs pushing up, no under cover slips on pillows and the spare pillow had no covering at all. Reception provided 1 at our request. Tv was so small it was hard to read. bath had black mould on the silicon seal, so didnt use the shower. Only good thing was the car parking facility….. on hindsight should have gone to premier inn and paid city parking.

Smelly and gross even for the price
Worst stay in weeks of travel so far - the bathroom reeked of mildew, likely from the shower curtain which was covered in black spots. We had to keep the door closed to not be completely overwhelmed and even purchased a small candle to hope to tolerate using the bathroom. So gross.
