Stayed here as we were working at a local show. You pay for what you get but I felt like I’d been transported to 1975. This hotel has not been touched since the 70s. The decor is questionable. Parking is awful and all double yellows on the street. The check in was quick and smooth which is the only good thing about it. Pipes running under the floors which means the room is boiling. Room is not cleaned to the best standards. Mould in bathroom. Beds hard and uncomfortable. Holes all over the carpets, gouges in doors and woodwork. The entire hotel and corridors all stink of cigarettes. You had the option of choosing a smoking room when we booked, who still has smoking rooms? Even Vegas have stopped it in most places. Gaffer tape on stairs in reception holding them together. Lift looks like the original lift and could fall apart at any time. Pros - it was cheap. We weren’t there for long enough to worry too much about it. Beds were clean. Staff friendly. If you want a cheap bed for the night it’s fine but this isn’t somewhere I’d ever stay again. Typical old Britannia hotel.

The room had no windows! That should be made clear in description or would have never booked it. The room was also airless. We also had trouble finding the room. Number 400 and tue ground floor. Got lost looking for room and ended up in the fire exit area on ground floor. And, you could not open at gate to get round to the reception. Some guest on top floor thought it was ok to throw things at us. Seeing we were trapped, thinking it was funny. Had to make a call to the police for assistance, as no one answered the phone and we were trapped.

Would not recommend to stay here. Very very out dated. Broken plug sockets tv remote didn’t work no Chanel’s on tv. No plug sockets near bed. Could hear people talking in the room next door. Very very bland for £260 it was like staying in a hostel. Pool was cloudy and looked very dirty. Parking isn’t great. Just overall not great at all. Was clean. However shower area really needed to be descaled.
