Spacious but basic twin room in the faded grandeur of the Britannia. Comfy beds and hot shower. Mostly quiet in the night expect when neighbours slammed their doors. We were cosy and had room to spread out, Plenty of space for our luggage and hangers for clothes No mirror in room + no plug in bathroom makes hair styling tricky! Rooms need renovating and there's barely any phone reception - and WiFi isn't free.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was too warm for my liking, there was no way to fully turn off the radiator and the windows didn't open. No cupboards, only a couple of rails with hangers fixed to the wall. Only one plug (shared with the kettle) in the room. No main light in the room, only a bedside lamp. Only one pillow on the bed. Wifi was a chargeable extra. I could have lived with the above, but the noise was ridiculous. No soundproofing whatsoever. Could clearly hear every sound outside, and as it was a Saturday night, there was a lot of sound. I got perhaps two hours sleep. At least the bed was fairly comfortable!

Not Great
Quite pricey for a room with no window, it was very warm in the room and the bathroom was just very basic and tired. Breakfast was decent but I personally wouldn’t stay there again.

Main areas look grandiose. Bedroom was clean but in grim condition. Breakfast would have been fine except for the fact that the aircon was on so fast and cold (in mid Oct!) which meant you couldn’t eat your the food before it was stone cold. For some reason l couldn’t get any service on my mobile in our room and wasn’t prepared to pay extra for their WiFi (they offered free WiFi in main hotel areas. Staff were pretty much the only savings grace for this place.

Opted for room without window as it was cheaper and only for one night. Was really warm during the night, next time i would definitely opt to have a window.

At least my third time staying at the Britannia Manchester. Centrally located, a beautiful restoration of a former warehouse/factory, good morning breakfasts, helpful staff. My only gripe is that one has to pay extra for wi-fi in one's room. Otherwise, an excellent, convenient stay and I'll definitely stay there again next time I'm in Manchester.

Rude staff
Booked this hotel for my husbands birthday. We were really looking forward to a night away as a family with 3 children we do not get out much. I booked a suite and on arrival we had what seemed to be a family room with lots of beds in. I asked reception if this was right to be told that's all you get and if you don't like it then email this and got given an email. I left it at that and continued my night. Upon returning to the hotel after going to see Peter Kay we returned at 11pm. They had security on the door and I was asked "do you have your key card" I said yes thinking they were just checking we had it and carried on walking to my room where 2 men stopped me saying I need to tell them my room number and name. This was very intimidating and I felt like I was being interrogated while other guests of the hotel could freely just walk in. I was alone at this point also as my husband was over the road at the shop. No one stopped him when he came in. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I haven't even completed my stay and dread to think what checkout will be like.

Rude staff on check in. Check out time 10am… they decided to fit new carpet in the stairs at 10am shutting the staircase. That left most of the hotel guests to queue to use two tiny very slow lifts.

It wasn’t the horror story I was expecting after reading other comments. It was a convenient location, a reasonably priced city centre hotel room for one night. I did not try any of the food but all the staff was great, there was a 24 hour security guard on the door which makes it feel safe. My room was quiet, the shower had good water pressure. I would stay here again when in Manchester.

Being a cash-free premises, everything is charged to your credit card. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The heating in our room didn't work so they gave us a portable radiator which heated up the room perfectly. We quickly ran out of tea and coffee but the refills were free and on demand. Worth three stars definitely.
