Check in was a nightmare. Multi layer of proving who you were. Huge queues. So many issues for most guests checking in. Inconsistent T&Cs on website compared to arrival. Room old and dated. Very small window high up. Couldn’t see out. Not much daylight. Bathroom had a puddle on the floor. It never dried!! Marble steps outside are lethal. It had been raining. They were very slippery. Most people were slipping and several fell. When we came back to the hotel at 11pm the security guard demanded our key cards, name and room number - just like a military order! We had only been given one but he got right in my 17 year old daughter’s face causing her great distress. She wasn’t given one but he didn’t believe us. So rude and intimidating, especially for a young girl! We won’t be going back again!

Basic room with price point too expensive
Basic room quite clean and fine for an overnight stay that was more about meeting friends and being out and about although the room rate was very expensive for the quality of room and hotel overall.

Central Manchester - good option
Large hotel in Mcr centre, only one lift working, couldn't get wifi! Other than that, nice room and bathroom - if a little dated. Hotel lobby and stairs are beautiful! For the cost in central Manchester this is a good option, but you will have to put up with a few 'wrinkles'!! Lots of parking nearby, not cheap but local to hotel

Good for business, but nothing special
The Britiannia is a hotel of two halves. Downstairs in the lobby, bar and restaurant it has a wonderfully evocative interior. Unfortunately, the bedrooms are more basic, even for an old building. It's fine for a business trip, but I would only go for the bar and restaurant if it was a more special occasion. The room does not have an iron and the decor is tired. Facing the street with poor insulation it's inevitably noisy. I can't fault the staff at reception and behind the bar.

Completely unacceptable. Dirty towels and sheets scattered around. To make matters worse, there were stains on the linens—human feces, no less. During breakfast, homeless people where walking in off the street, helping themselves to food from the buffet, a serious lack of security! Terrible hotel!!

It was a good experience staying at this hotel and was very clean. Only issue i had was they dont have a bell boy to carry your luggage. Reasonable and everything is close by.
