Liked: Staff & service
Brittania has a reputation for having grand old hotels but ... The age and lack of maintenance makes £100 for one night ... A bit much when the ceilings have cracks, peeling paint work and random huge lamps as the only option for lighting (so easy to knock off). However, it is what it is and it was clean and safe as far as I could tell.

The room door had a slight gap around it which let light from the corridor into the room for the whole night. I like to sleep in a dark room.

It’s a lovely building and a very good location. The price for the stay was good also. The bedroom needed modernising and was basic. It also required freshing up in terms of painting. On arrival I was asked for photo ID which luckily I had with me otherwise would not have been allowed to check in.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom showed signs of tiredness and was in need of renovation a badly repaired bath, replaced wall tiles didn’t match and were also cracked. Breakfast I came down at 09:45 and everything was cleaned up and lock when they had notices out saying breakfast finishes at 09:50 so I think they closed it early so I missed out on breakfast that I paid for.
