Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The building is ok if you appreciate brutalist architecture. The huge rush mats at the entrance were filthy and dotted liberally with old chewing gum. Check-in was very slow with only one poor girl running the desk on her own. The shower wasn't working in my room (the mechanism that you would lift in order to have the water coming out of the shower as opposed to the taps was not working). In the end I went back down to reception and asked for a different room. I was kept waiting for 20 minutes before I had a new room to go to. On reaching my new room I first went into the bathroom to make sure that the shower was working. Alas the knob that would be lifted to have the shower working had been broken off. I took a photo (attached). Going back down to reception I was disappointed with the manager's (Robert) reaction to my issues. He said he'd go up to the room and check the shower himself even though I'd shown him the photo of the broken knob. It was now well over an hour since I'd checked in and my patience was wearing thin as I had appointments to meet later that afternoon. The manager returned saying his pass key/card wasn't working and was about to start looking for a different one. At this point, I was beyond caring about his pass key and told him and the girl on reception that I would not be staying and would be asking for a refund. I then had to book two more hotels to fulfil my 4 night stay in Coventry... all at the last minute.

No ground floor rooms. I requested a ground floor room, we were put on the 6th floor! Staff totally uninterested in us. Kept us waiting. The parking was almost a mile away. I had to drop my disabled husband off and was given a postcode for the parking which I then had to walk back from alone, at night in the fading light. The side of the hotel building had drunks and homeless person begging. This added to my anxiety. The lifts were dirty and smelt stale. We were there to visit the Catherdral, when i asked for directions, the receptionist didn't have a clue where it was. It turns out the hotel backs onto the Cathedral, I would have thought a basic knowledge of the local area a must. Really disappointing.

great for ad-hoc discreet meets

A great old fashioned hotel, direct access from the grond floor reception to the room with no nasty keycard required for lifts or floor access. The Britannis feels like a open easy access hotel. Recommend for ad-hoc meets

Dirty and disorganised

Dirty beds, no housekeeping available to clean dirty linens, and I got a skin infection because of it. Front staff are rarely ever there either and customer service doesn't respond. I'm pursuing this matter further.

Great stay.

Three nights. Spacious twin room. Comfortable beds, enough towels. Really clean. Staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel is obviously tired but so what. Great location near lots of food and drink options and only a 15 min walk to the station. Only complaint which is the same with all Britannias is no plug sockets by the beds.

In need of an overhaul. Very pleasant staff throughout. Room had stains on the carpets, and cigarette burns . Bathroom clean but tired. Shower gel dispenser just seemed to have water in it. Room very warm, window only opened slightly. Fan supplied but extremely loud. The area is beside the university, while my car lasted the night parked nearby, I wasn’t confident it was going to still be there in the morning. I was only passing through so it was ok, but very hard to recommend.

The place was close to the town centre, easily accessible, parts of the room was very dusty and moulds found in parts of the bathroom. I loved their food. First receptionist absolutely terrible (seemed like she didn’t want to work) but excellent customer care from one on the second day. Overall stay was average
