Britannia Hotel Stockport

enjoyed my stay at the hotel.it wasnt pleasent to see people drinking outside the main doors and leaving their empty beer bottles outside.bedding could have been better.

Arrived at the hotel to a misrable staff member, who wasnt glad to see us! Feel like we inconvienenced him by checking in! Got in the room and it absolutly stunk of cigerette smoke! So much so had the window open all night! Then around 6pm the fire alarm went off and this was the start of it going off all night and morning! But what did i expect when the room was £20!!!

very friendly restaurant staff, but room was too hot when we got there(better than too cold) good value for the money.

I will try and give both the good and bad. I arrived and the gentleman at the counter was busy watching videos on a lap top that I presume a guest was sharing with him. Finally decided to help. Checked me in but offered no info on wifi or any other services and not even a wake up call. Came back down stairs and same guy was on a personal call in the office behind the counter and I had to stand and stare at him for almost ten minutes. I got the wifi info (which their wifi has a very weak signal) and I asked for my wake up call at 6 and about the free shuttle service to the airport. I was informed they had not shuttle but he could get a taxi in the morning and bill the hotel for it. Fair enough. Btw, I cam back down to to do this because no one answered at the front desk. So I went and ate in the restaurant in the hotel. Prices were not bad compared to my previous hotel but they had one person seating people, taking orders, getting drinks etc. For being understaffed in my opinion he did alright. Call me crazy but I ordered the lasagna. It came burnt around the edges but the coffee was the best I had since being in the UK. And though I do not know if the food was the cause, I was throwing up in the morning. Sorry if that is too graphic. The room: Small, even for the UK. The bed was a roller bed and tiny but I fit so no worries. My water glass was still dirty from I guess the last guess. Fixtures, flooring and so forth are indeed old but for the price, what do you expect. Down side though is the thin walls. I could hear every foot step from half way down the hall, every car passing on the street and even the elevator as it went up and down. This was my main complaint really. I got maybe one hour sleep but to be fair, I do not sleep well anyway. Finally got to sleep and wake up call came at 5AM. And hour before my requested time. So I thought I should check on my taxi to be sure considering. Spoke to a different gentleman and he was very helpful and nice. He said the previous employee put it in the old computer which never changed with the time change. He showed me the hand written log and the employee from last night also wrote it down wrong for the following day and so he wasn't sure which one to go by. So I am lucky I got any wake up call at all it seems. Minus the indifference and sheer laziness of the first counter clerk, most of the staff was professional and friendly. Though I did not use it, the work out center is also a facility you can subscribe to if you are local so it looked quite nice from what I saw. If you only need it for a night or maybe two and want to save a little money, then this may be the place for you. But I would not go here if you are seeking comfort or efficiency. You get what you pay for.

We were looking for a basic place to sleep while we made day trips in the North of England, and this fit our needs quite well. The room was small but clean, with modern fixtures in the small en suite bathroom. Large on-site parking lot for the rental car. The walk to the train station takes about 30 min (cabs to the station are $10-11), but Stockport is on the main line and trains into Manchester are every 10-15 min during the day, and inexpensive(~$4-5 round trip). Road access to the M60 is 5-10 min, and to the airport about 25 min. It's a fairly large hotel (# of rooms), and quite busy with tour bus traffic, probably attesting to the value. The breakfast buffet is quite good, but pricey (~$15) if not included in the room rate package for food available for ~$5 at breakfast shops in town.

the staff are pleasant and very helpfull my room unfortunatly was not clean. there was dust and large particles of paint flakes on the dressing table around the tea making facility/tv. but the rest of the room was ok the toilet roll was just left on the sink not on the holder petty things i know but basic mistakes the mattress on the bed was worn out.eg i could feel the bed base more than the mattress overall i would definatly recommend this hotel and i will stay again

The staff were unfriendly, and the place was old and worn. My room looked out at the dumpsters, and laundry room. Bathroom was dirty, and there were stains on the carpet. I arrived at the room one evening to find the towels and other items were left at my door. Room service had not entered the room.

we think the resteraunt could of benfited from a wider choise of veg, chips and peas tend to pall after a few days, the staff could not of been more helpful and we would use the hotel again

Nice hotel great price but you pay a fortune for breakfast so there's your great price gone.Staff were very friendly and allowed some of our group check in very early which was great with young children.

The room was clean and tidy, however it looked nothing like the examples on the website. Our room was quite dated and the wallpaper on the ceiling was peeling off. The facilities in the gym and pool were very good and at £30.00 per night I can't really complain.
