I am fed up with the negative reviews that the whingers put on line about this hotel. My stay in January was warm, comfortable and good value. Staff were kind and friendly. New carpets! Britannia Hotels may be a bit ‘faded glory’ - but who cares?? The architecture is great, the history interesting - and the location perfect.
Great
