Britannia Hotel Birmingham New Street Station Birmingham

Unfortunately other than its location this hotel has nothing good going for it. There was a queue when I got there, strange for that time - 20:30ish. The lift was dark and depressing, the room even more so. There was an awful smell like vomit lingering in the room. The floor looked unclean. The bathroom floor was the same and the corners were filthy. I didn’t feel clean being in the room. The tv was good as it was a smart tv so I watched what I wanted. The walls are paper thin and I could hear every noise and things being plugged into the sockets on the wall. The doors banged shut and this was annoying all night. The wallpaper was very old and was covered in layers of paint. There is no air con, the heating was on when I entered The bed was the worst thing I have ever slept on. The springs were poking me all night long, I barely slept. There was no hairdryer either so I didn’t use the shower. If your on a super tight budget sta here but I’m sure you can find airbnb cheaper than this.

Location was Great. Room was spacious. Bed was made from two single beds ,mattress was horrible, got a backache, it wasn’t comfy at all. Pillows were flat couldn’t even feel anything under your head. No intercom in the room have to go down all the way down in order to ask something. No toiletries other than 2 small soaps and one tiny bottle of shampoo, Dogs barking in other room all night. People having laughs next door. And can hear every single discussion they were having 😒 Definitely no sound proofing.

I would definitely recommend, not bad , but the services not really normal

Overall experience was good Room was a bit small with no windows And there was strong smell of ******** coming from the toilet which is the only demerit.

Look that they have the largest flat screen tv''s. Netflix too. As still getting refurbished- most things are new. Love the normal and rainfall shower combination. Non-slip mat . This room. Unfortunately only had one pillow on my single bed- do need at least 2. Great that they have ordinary radiators you can turn up and leave stuff to dry on

The room was clean and tidy and the shower was better than some I have experienced in other hotels. The only thing I would mention is the constant noise from what I can only presume was the air-con, but tbh, I soon got used to that. Overall for a solo traveller the hotel at £32 for the night, I would give the Brittania 3 out of 5, not bad value for money at all.
