I was above the bar so it was quite noisy until the music stopped around midnight but the room was a good size, clean and perfect for an inner city stay close to shops etc.

I have stayed at this hotel for more than twenty years and have always been satisfied with the hotel and staff. However, last week there was an issue concerning payment, I paid prior to arrival. The trainee was ok even though there was a disagreement. The duty manager intervened and made matters significantly worse, tell me in effect that I was an idiot and was rude and totally lacking in customer service. He did not care if I rebooked for further stays or not. This is the first time I have been treated like that at the Britannia

Very lovely stay,lovely staff but rushed off their feet so lacking the personal touches. Area around the hotel very unsafe for me as I felt I was being watched by homeless people in and around the hotel. I have stayed most years in the Britannia hotel around this time. I don't think I would return due to the reasons outlined.

It's cheap and cheerful, and it was grand for me.

I had no problem with my stay, the room was clean, shower was powerful, and it had a TV. Bed wasn't the comfiest and the room was basic and tired. BUT for £45 a night in the centre of Manchester on a Friday, it did me nicely thank you very much!

Security policy does not work! Hotel is not updated enough to allow entry to the lift via key fobs. Security on the doors would not allow people in without a key fob and confirming the name on the hotel booking. The hotel had not allocated individual names to the room list despite taking copies of ID. When staying as a couple only one key fob was taken and they would not allow us back into the room unless ID was shown and 2 key fobs. This made a terrible experience and caused lots of violence with other guests who were experiencing frustration and inconsistency with security.

Great spot for people on a budget. Being from Australia, no air conditioning hurts, but there is a fan in the room which helps. Great central location.
