Britannia

Having travelled the world and stayed in some pretty ropey places I can honestly say this is the worst hotel I have ever had the misfortune to stay in. A small group of us had a 2-​day ‘away day’ there recently and it was one problem after another, aside from dirty rooms and shabby beyond belief décor. They had failed to notice that we had booked lunch, and after telling us we hadn’t even booked any, the manager (no less) offered last night’s carvery — which hadn’t even been good the night before — and was quite offended when we said no way. He then told us there was no food for lunvg so we couldn’t have any after something close to an argument, he finally said Well I’ll have to send somebody out to Sainsburys to get something!!! Absolute nightmare — will NEVER go again!

This isn’t a bad hotel, its much nicer on the inside than it looks from the outside. You can get good rates off the internet so I suggest you book before you go. The rooms are ok, nice enough and they are clean. The double is a good size, with the usual tea making facility. This hotel is great if you’re going out partying in the town as its as close as you can get but its no good on a weeked if you’re after a quiet night.
