Britannia Hotel - Manchester City Centre

Prós: The hotel is well located and the exterior and central staircase are impressive. Staff were helpful though there was a long queue at check in. Room was functional, but clean and everything worked.

Contras: Wifi in room is limited to 20 minutes unless you pay for the premium wifi. Furniture and décor is a bit dated.

Awful horrible

Contras: Worst hotel I've ever stayed at

Inexpensive Manchester city centre option

Prós: The price, location for city centre and railway station

Contras: Room noisy due to occupant on floor above and thin and creaky bedroom ceiling. Asking for consideration didn't solve problem. Breakfast poor quallity - no muesli or devent fruit lots of fatty bacon, poor coffee - perhaps it just matched discounted room price bracket so dont pay for breakfast and go and eat somewhere else

Prós: The staff were good people trying to hold it together

Contras: It's just old and unkept. The owners need to reinvest in the property.

Poor stay

Prós: We paid extra to get a hotel with a window, only to turn up and be out in a tiny twin room with no window. The air con in the room had the control panel hanging off the wall and it was unbearably hot. We asked to be moved to a different twin room with a window, which the staff originally told me they wouldn't do. After some complaining at the reception they eventually moved us but the room was now a double instead of a twin which they'd told us it would be at reception. This room had mould on the wall underneath the window and on the ceiling. For the price of the room I expected much better.
