We got little rooms without windows. And you do not want to have rooms without any air conditioning and the possibility to open a window if you are in the same room with other male friends...

Location ,size ,and great memories of several visits over many years. There was nothing I disliked about the hotel ,but must point out that it is not as grand as I remember it from my previous visits several years ago, and would say that you need a complete refit to bring it up to the standard it was . on a positive I would stay here again but for a cheaper rate, but would look for something else for the price I paid as you have lost the wow factor ..,There is nothing much to complain about apart from both lifts never worked and I was looking forward to seeing the zebra that was in the residents bar years ago.and found out he had gone lol.

The Britannia is a beautiful buildiing with a fantastic entrance and reception area. The staff were polite and very helpful, particularly with parking advice, directions etc. The rooms were disappointing. We felt that the condition of the room wasnt reflected in the price.The ceilings had damp, the windows were really dirty, the carpets were stained and the bath had black mould round the edges. Despite the friendly staff and the location, we would not stay at this hotel again.

The lobby, the staff. Very dirty/stained carpet, no windows in the room, lifts out of service for most of the week. Always people smoking in the porch area of the entrance which means you have to walk through it every time you enter/leave the building. Such a shame this hotel is kept/run this way because the building itself is great and has some great features.

Excellent location. Short distance from railway station. Staff were friendly and efficient. We were able to leave our luggage for the day after checking out so that we could still enjoy the rest of the day in Manchester. The room was clean and a reasonable size for a short break. Although the wardrobe was large enough, I think there should also have been a coat rack in the entrance to the room (because you need a coat in Manchester !). The window had a safety catch to prevent it being opened fully, but it rattled in the wind when the window was open.

I was in the room 239 that haven't any windows but I didn't mind as I just needed a bed to sleep for one night, the room had a strange (not nice) smell but it looked fairly clean. The building and the room look quite old and it looks like an hotel that was a luxury one many years ago but has been abandoned to his fate. The position is excellent if you want visit the city centre, the breakfast was ok for the price (7£). Overall Considering the location it's a decent value for money as the room was 29£. The hotel is a bit too old, the lifts weren't working, there is a strange smell around all the hotel, it looks like smoking smell, the walls are too thin and you can hear noise from the other rooms.

it was un excellent choice for location, less than 10' minutes walk from Piccadilly station. picaddilly is fast connected with the airport. Britannia is very well located for a short break week end with easy access to the differents monuments and Museum. the building is prestigious and typical of British "red bricks constructions" the staff, coming from differents countries is friendly i booked in Britannia a "special offer" for a double executive room... it's a shame to put forward a so dirty and quaint room. it's a shame that the lifts doesn't work for a day. we stayed on the fourth floor and had to carry our luggage ourself for the check out.
