Be careful with this property. They requested a deposit after the booking and if you’re a visitor/tourist with no account in the UK you can’t make the deposit. Furthermore, the property doesn’t cancel your booking or refund you the initial payment. Definitely a scam to people visiting from overseas. They also wouldn’t allow you to use credit cards or someone else to make the deposit for you. So please stay away from this property at all cost.

Having read previous reviews my expectations of staying at the Britannia Hotel in Birmingham were not high. How wrong was I! The hotel is a short walk from Birmingham New Street and easy enough to find. Reception area was clean and tidy, with a welcoming member of staff who booked me in quickly as I had done the online booking process. Unfortunately one of the lifts was out of action but due to being on the second floor I decided to use the stairs; once I’d located them - better signage needed I think. I found the communal areas clean and tidy, although a little dated, but this definitely did not put me off. I found my room easily as the corridors are clearly marked with room numbers. My room was clean, tidy and warm. Nice fresh bedding, clean towels, clean bathroom and a good brew kit. I was overlooking the Main Street with the German Christmas Market on below, but the noise from this was negligible and didn’t disturb me at all. The room had all the basic necessities that I needed for my 2 night stay and it was definitely better than I expected. I will say that the mattress was not the best and you could definitely feel the springs - but strangely enough I still slept well! You can hear your next door neighbours at times but fortunately no late shenanigans that kept me awake. Good curtains that blocked out the street lights and draughty window. There was a radiator that I could control so my room was lovely and warm on both nights. All in all I had a very pleasant stay.

Awful hotel, not clean in the slightest! No soaps, shampoo/conditioner in the dispensers. No windows in any of our rooms. Only 1 lift working (barely by the sounds of it) the rooms have a horrible smell, sheets were dirty and when I complained to staff they told me they would “put it forward” for me but I won’t hold my breath. I’ve stayed at some bad hotels but I will NEVER come back to this one! The only thing it has going for it is that it’s central to the bullring

The room was far from clean, the bathroom (inc shower) had clearly been used when we arrived. We were told on checkin the hotel was full with no more rooms so we sucked it up for the night as we had showered earlier that day. The bed however had clean sheets and was comfortable. I'm pretty sure the amount our window opened and the single pane of safety are unlikely to pass a modern safety inspection. Tea and Coffee facilities good, TV large modern and good signal. Fine for a 1 night stay after a gig (if you're used to festivals etc) but I would nt use it for anything other than a bed and dont book it as a surprise fo your partner. Basic but servicable.

Fire alarm! In the middle of the night, a fire alarm suddenly went off and startled me out of bed. This was extremely inconvenient and it was not the first time I experienced this in a Britannia Hotel. They urgently need to change their safety concept. It's simply unacceptable that the entire hotel is woken up just because someone falsely pushed the alarm button or someone took a shower. If a smoke detector detects smoke, first of all the receptionist should be alarmed, the receptionist should check the situation and in case of a true emergency the receptionist should trigger a general alarm.

We read other reviews before booking so knew what to expect. The reviews were accurate. The hotel is tired and old fashioned. Positives, the location is great, 5 minute walk from New Street train station, and in the heart of all the shops and currently Christmas markets. We were on the sixth floor and had no noise from the streets. The shower was hot and I found the bed firm and comfy. The negatives: super thin walls. We could hear word for word the tv in the room behind us, and even some conversations. No double glazing, but the room temperature could be controlled by a radiator. The whole hotel needs a make over basically, but it's so large would cost a fortune. The bar was not open on the Saturday night we stayed there. Would I stay here again, unlikely. However for one night if it's cheaper than elsewhere I possibly would knowing what to expect.
