Clean, comfortable room with a good shower. Bathroom a bit tatty with cracks in sink and holes in bath where there was once a handle but still clean enough.
Check in was ridiculous despite having pre-checked in online.

Room was ok, clean. Ceiling paper peeling. Could do with a little tlc. Paid for breakfast but really was not worth the money. Very little choice. Continental breakfast no croissants, no crumpets only white bread, 1 muffin choice, 1 jam choice. Very poor.

Room was cold and had to shower with luke warm water in the morning. Staff don't acknowledge you either at the front desk which doesn't make you feel welcome.

We weren’t aware until we checked in-even after checking in online- that you need a photographic ID for the lead guest and nearly couldn’t check in. The hotel must have been magnificent at some point in the past but it’s basic and a little bare now, which is a shame. The attached bar and red have been refurbished and look lovely. The breakfast was ok if you like a full English or similar- but other than cornflakes there is not much else on offer.

Very dated. Shower sprayed all over the bathroom. Bed wasn’t that comfortable and was only given one pillow.
Staff were friendly, though.

Check in needs a word. Guy on reception couldn’t have been more unhelpful. Ushering 4 of us into a line completely unnecessary, roping it off. I helped a lady with bags and a pushchair move across. All a bit silly.
Then get your key. You need id
Keep away. I had mites in my bed. Walls between rooms were very thin so I other guest bouncing on his bed reflected onto mine. Not good at midnight. I could hear his coughs like he was next to me. I will not be using Britannia again.
I would put excellent but I don't like the 10am check out unless paying extra, especially when my arrival was not sure if the room was ready because I arrived around midday. Thankfully my room was ready. Luckily I was leaving my room anyway at 10.15 but had received a knock on the door to remind me of the overdue 10am. Just something I have never experienced before and I personally don't like it. I love the hotel, ticks all boxes but this weird 10am check out was not clear to me when booking via ebookers. Only one plug in the room is a little restrictive too. Otherwise great

Worst hotel ever! Staff are very rude and unhelpful. I had issue at night and the staff were unable to resolve any issues. Would not stay here even if it was given to me for a free for a month! Bathroom very dirty, water so hot nearly burnt myself. Paid extra for window and the window was broken would not close. Did not have a telephone in the room.

It is a comfortable but dated hotel. I would stay here again but only if the price is comparable to the ‘budget’ hotels.
