MATTHEW

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort
The mattress was knackered, so uncontrollably to lie on, when you can feel the springs almost digging into your body. I had to lay on top of the duvet, to give myself another layer, between myself and the matress. When it comes to the condition of the matress, its the chance you take with Britannia and a lot of other independent hotels. The rest of the room/bathroom was good, with plenty of toiletries provided, along with tea/coffee making facilities.

Large room with sea view and access to balcony with chairs and table. Room simply furnished, good bathroom. We had problems charging our phones and the bedside lamps did not work. The 3 course buffet dinner menu @ £15 was cheap reflected in the choice of food.

It was due for myself but my friend ruined my trip when I had the kindness to allow my friend to come with me when my friend became aggressive with the receptionist who was trying to do her job and I felt like telling my friend to shut up and because my friend was so aggressive with the receptionist she cancelled our stay and my trip was ruined so I made my friend come back to London and go back home in Essex and anyone messes with me they get their reset button.

The hotel has a great location, had a great view of the sea, but is very tired/dated. Breakfast was truly awful. Definitely not worth the extra money - not even a decent coffee (served luke warm out of pump flasks). We felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff
