Hotel Britannia Birmingham

Cheap.

Rooms need a coat of paint.

Adequate for my needs. Value for money.

The bed and linen was clean. I paid £37 for an overnight stay so value for money for a city centre hotel.

Shabby, needs decorating and general aura of disrepair. Vomit stains on landing carpet. Someone had definately gone into the room whilst we were out (tho' nothing taken).

The room i was given on the 9th, floor was so good it more than made up for the noise problems ,,, that i had the previous week on another floor excellent value, even the 1 bedroom at first, I tried to get in to the Britannia in Bolton but it was full still looking for a furnished flat, Preston, Wigan , or Bolton. No luck yet, staying in the Mecury Motel bolton way £30 a night , please let me kinow of any special deals in future thank you.

Lift carpet,s need replacing , T.V in the 1st room i stayed in was fuzzy, second stay on 9th floor , remote control needs replacing , the plug handle on the bath was loose.

Staff were helpful

My room was by a door which kept banging and vibrated into my room. Although I was offered an alternative room, I would have had to check out of my original room at 11 but not be able to get into alternative room until 2/

I checked into the Britannia Birmingham n 26/1/11 and was told the double room that I booked in advance was no longer available (I come to Birmingham every week for a course and book rooms well in advance). Staff attributed this error to a fault in the computer system and asked me to accept a twin room instead, which I did. However I was woken at approx. 11.30pm by three men coming into my bedroom, as they had been assigned same room and given swipe keycard access. Naturally as I was in bed this extremely shocking! When we had all gathered in reception staff informed me there were no other rooms, but they could move me to The Paragon hotel, approximately 15 mintues. Despite the disruption and how tired I was I consented as I was feeling very vulnerbale and I no longer felt the Britannia was a secure place for a lone female to stay. Reception said I would not be charged for the room but this barely compensates for traumatic experience of being woken and having my space violated because of staff error and I will have to consider using any one of the other Birmingham city centre hotels for my weekly trip.

I shall be writing to brittania today to register my extreme dissapointment with the room and noise in this hotel. I had my 9 year old son with me and the smell was disgusting.

GOOD LOCATION

BOOKED TWIN BEDS GOT DOUBLE BED GOD HAD TO SLEEP WITH MY SISTER RESEPTION WASNT VERY HELPFULL

PLENTY TO DO PLACES TO GO

bedroom windows could do with a clean and painting

museum

Staff distinctly unhelpful, room service was absolutely appalling- took over an hour to even get a reply from them. Room was very small and the windows were horribly draughty. The location is very convenient but I would not stay there again.
