Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 61 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many visitors frequently complained about extremely dirty rooms, broken room amenities, malfunctioning heating systems, and poor general maintenance standards found throughout the aging properties. Customers also experienced unhelpful or openly rude staff behavior, alongside severe service delays, long queues at the main bar, and unmanageable management disputes. Though some reviewers noted positive aspects, a small group of people still found certain elements to be quite satisfying during their stays. Particularly, consumers appreciated exceptionally helpful staff members, highly convenient central locations, clean and comfortable accommodations, and pleasant surrounding environments located nearby.

This hotel is a complete scam. They never mentioned the city tax during booking or check-in, and only demanded extra money after my stay. That’s not just bad service — that’s straight-up dishones... See more

Unsafe if you a woman and fleeing anything

Unsafe, poor service and no basic care — do not stay here
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

I stayed at Britannia Leeds Airport for a few days, hoping for somewhere safe to recover after leaving a frightening situation. Instead, my stay was stressful, unsafe, and deeply upsetting.

No heating or comfort: My room had no heating, and I had to use my own bedding. The beds were single, uncomfortable, and not what I had booked. When I asked to change rooms or get a refund, I was told the hotel was “fully booked.”

Lack of basic care: I struggled to get essential items like toilet paper, and no one came to clean or even check on my room.

Unsafe environment: I felt targeted by a group of men during my stay and experienced behaviour that felt discriminatory and threatening. Staff at reception made loud, humiliating comments, accusing me of booking under a false name, even after I showed my ID. This public shaming left me feeling unsafe, paranoid, and extremely distressed, especially as I was already recovering from trauma.

Poor staff response: Staff gave conflicting information and were often dismissive of my concerns. The only kindness I experienced was from two bar staff, including a lovely Filipino lady, who treated me with respect.

By the end of my stay, I felt ignored, unsafe, and even experienced panic attacks as a result of how I was treated.

I wasted my money here. If you need a secure and supportive place to recover, this is not it. The hotel environment is unsafe, uncaring, and unprofessional. The only positives were the kindness of a few staff members and some friendly fellow guests, but overall, I would never return.

Carrington house hotel bournemouth - The Pits

Carrington house hotel bournemouth is an absolute pit of a place, from arriving to leaving in the morning.
The place is filthy, the staff rude, the packed breakfast was the cheapest items I've ever had, I just gave them right back.
There were no rubber bath mat to put in the bath to have a shower, to be honest you would need welly boots to go in it.
We were with a coach tour or would have went elsewhere, there were no shops nearby so couldn't even go get anything.
STAY AWAY

The Britannia in Birmingham is excellent value for money Hotel.

I am staying in the Britannia Hotel in Birmingham. It is centrally located situated as it is within 250 yards of New St railway station. My room has a comfortable double bed a large screen TV and there is an excellent power shower in the bathroom. The wi/fi reception is good and it’s free,unlike some more expensive hotels who charge £5 a day. All this for an average of £55 per night.(I stayed four nights and will do so again.)

Continuing Issues

Stay at The Royal Court hotel in Coventry.
I am a regular client, as the pricing is attractive however, I have regularly experienced issues with vehicle parking, staff totally disinterested. Breakfast is generally something of a scrummage, on 16th August it was particularly poor, as the hotel was catering for several coach parties, in addition to the regular hotel clientele, and the consequences were simply complete chaos.
I notice that the car park and outside areas have been tidied, since I noticed how abysmal they were last Autumn. One glaring problem, there is only two disabled spaces in the whole car park. BRITANNIA, thi is totally inadequate, and it doesn't comply with the spirit of the Disability Rights legislation, please review this.
Some parts of the hotel are quite shabby and poorly maintained e.g. the elevator, which actually contained detritus. The wheelchair assistance platform has an "out of order" notice affixed, no help for a disabled person!
Staff are generally helpful, it won't take much to address the issues, do let's see some small improvements, please.

Government cash

Totally unacceptable putting money before people, stay away from this hotel group, only interested in government cash handouts. No paying guests? Just free loading asylum seekers paid for by my tax and yours.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs,
The hotel reception staff are unfriendly, even rude, and can be aggressive. Other guests complained of this, as well as ourselves.

There isn't a star rating 0

There isn't a star rating 0, there should be.
The hotel room in Llandudno was the worst that I have ever stayed in, it is nothing like the Web site description. the balcony was rusty and filthy, I have photos. The manager said I would be given a refund from head office customer services. Customer said that it is hotel that gives refunds. I have emailed 3 times and phoned. No response. They clearly just ignore genuine complaints.

Avoid

Norbreck Castle Blackpool
My partner and I arrived on the 25th of July. On the way to Blackpool, we checked in and paid online as suggested that it will speed up the process. However, we still waited 40 minutes to get the key to the room ( one person at the desk), just to find out that we had to pay again!
The results caused us some stress, as we ended up paying double for the room, which left us with significantly less money to enjoy our stay. While it was ultimately the hotel’s fault, we received no apology or compassation regarding the situation.
No soap in the dispenser.
No working TV remote.
Damp!
Police cars on Friday and Saturday!
We had a room on the bottom floor and here is the best! Noisy forklift in use after 11pm !!! Wake me up! As there was no phone in the room to get in touch with the reception, I had to put on clothes and go to the reception to address the issue. The gentleman was very defensive and tried to blame one of the guests. Again no apology!
Kids running uncontrolled till midnight!
Drunk guests arguing till 2 a.m. no reaction from hotel staff!
The next morning, absolutely shattered, we decided to check out as soon as possible!
Tried to speak with the receptionist about double payments and the issue we had over the night, however, again, no help or apology! Just been given a card with a telephone number. The lady was rude and talked over me, as if she wanted to get rid of me as soon as she could.
The staff need training on how to deal with the complaints!
I can understand that at the low price we won't get a luxury but a clean room should be a standard!

Poor hotel and customer service

Thank you for coming back to us. We are sorry to hear that you remain unhappy despite our previous reply to you.

We have reviewed your booking in full, and our records confirm that assistance was offered during your stay, including the allocation of an alternative room. Our team remained available to help and followed procedures throughout.

We note that you do not wish to accept the previously extended goodwill gesture, and we respect your decision not to return to the hotel. However, your booking was fulfilled and accommodation provided — a refund is not applicable.

This is our final email and no offer will be made. Any further correspondence in relation to the above will not be responded to — this is our final communication on this matter.

Kind regards,
Customer Services

The company is hiding something

The company is very secretive, they disable comments on their youtube videos and facebook posts. It's almost like they're hiding something. It's almost like they're trying to cover up the sex grooming gang activity that's allegedly is happening in their hotels. But that's just a theory. What other reason is there to disable comments and to suppress the voice of the public/customer?
It smelled moldy.
