Britannia Hotel Coventry  

Good value budget hotel

Attended a 2 day tenpin bowling competition.

The breakfast was not as good as I expected for the cost, the bacon in particular was a bit too streaky and fatty and the eggs where either hard because they had been sitting around or you had to wait in a queue for ages to gert one. Maybe a choice of fried and scrambled would be a simpler solution.

For the money if u do book in very advance its best simple and the most importnat was very cean fresh towels and all was amazing ....

We were staying at the hotel for business and the hotel was very convenient to where we needed to be. We couldn't believe the price and think it is excellent value for money and would highly recommend it.

Convenience - distance to sports centre. The hotel was clean very good value for money especially the food. The food was excellent, much better frommy last visit.

The check out time was too early for this particular visit and I couldn't extend it for more than a hour. The extended hour check out was expensive.

Location - convenient for Coventry University. Receptionist was friendly and managed to allow us early entry (by one hour) into the room to enable us to get ready for a Graduation Ceremony.

Very dated and really does not a complete revamp. The rooms (premier/upgrated) were tired, for example, dirty carpets, no headboard on the bed, toilets old, wallpaper dirty. The Bar, although fairly pleasant atmosphere again lacked cleanliness and looked tired. Please also note, the Christmas Decorations in the bar area made us giggle, a very random selection of old decorations not really placed in an attractive manner.

It was right in front of the bus station. There was a supermarket nearby.

It was very cold everywhere. We had to wear our coats on every time we stepped out of our room, even if at the lounge or in the Priory room. The wifi wasn't available from our room (the infrastructure that's necessary to give internet access to the rooms is minimal). The hotel was untidy. There was dust everywhere and I had to clean the fungae growing out of the bathroom's ventilation system myself. The hotel has not been refurnished in a long time and it desperately needs to be repaired. The elevator always stopped on the 5th floor, no matter what button you pressed. The restaurant only had one menu and it wasn't very cheap, so we always had to eat out. There was so much furniture in our room that we could barely walk: a wardrobe, a table, a chair, two armchairs, another table, a tv table, two bedside tables and the bed (the room was around 3mx3m). The TV could only be seen from one side of the bed. The room didn't look anything like the one in the picture.

Got offered a large room with 2 bathrooms

Got charged only for one night for my 2 nights stay. So when i checked out i didnt realise i have not paid for the whole trip and i didnt remember how much i paid. That is confusing because i always pay in full for any hotel bookings and i thought they were cheating on me.

Britannia Hotel was reasonably priced as long as you book online. It is ideal if you are attending interviews for Coventry University as it is literally five minutes walk away.

Sadly Britannia Hotel is quite difficult to get to by car due to so many of the roads being one way. There is no hotel parking so you have to park in a council car park across the road.

Staffs were not polite, heater in room did not work for days and not a single staff kept to their word. Rooms were not as I expected. Forced to stay in a twin room even though I booked for a double room.

No hot water so was not good

Although it was expected that there would be no hotel parking, an arrangement with car parks in the vicinity to offer bhc clients a deal would have been appreciated.

I liked the location close to the Bus Station at Pool Meadow.

The swipe card to my room failed a couple of times.
