Stayed here for one night on business. The location is good for the city centre. Overall the rooms are spacious and clean, but the decor is very dated. As with most of the Brittania's the lobby is quite grand, but this is the only area that the hotels seem to spend money in. Not bad value for money though as... More

After reading mixed reviews before staying at the Britannia, I wasn't sure what to expect. Stayed here for business; 2 nights with breakfast. Let me explain why you should avoid this hotel. 1) My room - Peeling wallpaper, grotty and dirty windows, stains on the carpets. Telly doesn't work properly and the hairdryer looked melted - can't be safe!! My... More

Like a lot of people, I have spent a week at this hotel as part of a coach party. The cost of my holiday worked out at £30.00 per day - this included accommodation, trips and food. For this cost I think that the value was great. Yes - the hotel is tired and the food is not hote cuisine... More

Nothing was quite up to standard. Everything was there but drastically ready for smartening up. Staff were ok but definitely not of the friendly nature. Toilet handle was loose but worked effectively. Toilet roll holder was broken so rolls just left on side. Television was dated and only had ten channels, poor for this day and age when even freeview... More

Oh dear, Britannia what a let down. We have stayed in your hotels in most major cities but Coventry is by far the worst. The only good thing is the location and the convenience of being next to the coach station. The windows are filthy and the net curtains have not been washed for years. Bedding and towels were ok...

Review based on just the room as I only paid for the room only last minute online. Can't comment on bar as I can't drink and can't comment on restaurant as I went to KFC down the road for dinner. Anyway when I opened the door to see the room I basically had a smile on my face and actually... More

The staff at the Britannia Coventry are so friendly and hardworking. The problem is the rooms do need a revamp and a good maintenance person employed full time to keep them up to standard. We had a jacuzzi bath which didn't work, and also a balcony which had seen better days. Apart from that the hotel is in a good... More

The Britannia Hotel is a bit dated now and the rooms need a revamp. However it is really well located right in the City centre. The staff were very friendly so no complaints there. The lifts are a bit slow if I was a bit lower down I would have walked. I would say i had value.
