the doorman for the night time was extremely rude and wouldn't let us in for what felt like 10 minutes because he said we haven;t signed in when we already had out door cards and gave all the names that he needed. Put a bit of a damper on what was an amazing night in a lovely hotel.

Truly awful. At check in you are met with a demand for photo ID from every staying guest which is pointless and very unwelcoming. In our case we were given a room on the 6th floor bearing in mind the lift only travels to the 5th floor so we had an extra flight of narrow claustrophobic stairs to climb to reach our room Floorboards are noisy on the way up but nothing compared to our room where it is impossible to move without loud creaking AT EVERY STEP! And it's not just the floors, I had a terrible night's sleep due to the comings and goings of other guests talking/shouting, creaking their own floors and snoring. Yes actually hearing the guests in the next room snoring as if they were in a tent next to yours on a family campsite. If this had been a cheap option I would still have been disappointed but at £80 a night this place is disgusting. Also the demand to see our room keys on return from a night out at 11pm from the rude, Pringle scoffing doorman was unnecessary and further unwelcoming. Don't be fooled by the glamorous staircase, a remnant of this building's glory days,it is now a dilapidated hole staffed by cold, disinterested and rude workers.

Stay in the Britannia was good overall.
The stay was great close to the city centre, my only problem was the Wifi should be included in the price in the rooms. Other than that everything was good.

Just okay
It was so-so. It was a nice historical building and that comes with certain expectations. There was some damage and floors were uneven. I wouldn't call it great but i wouldn't say awful either.

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.

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!
