We was on a National holiday weekend break and did not know where we was staying and my heart sank when i got email with details and saw it was a Britannia hotel but we was pleasantly surprised. Our  room was clean and tidy, food was ok and my partner who is Gluten free was catered for. I have deducted 1 star as feel it the rooms and corridors could do with a lick of paint. The check in was  straightforward and no hassle. 

National holiday weekend

Just returned from a 3 night stay at this hotel  with Caledonian Holidays, on arrival my heart sank at the drab grey and dirty looking exterior, on entering the inside the hotel is very different, clean and spotless. Checking in was very fast and we  where allocated room 411 on floor 4,3 very fast lifts where never busy and the corridors looked to have new carpets and the nice smell on fresh paint. Room 411 is very spacious overlooking the bus station with a very comfy double bed, flat screen tv on the wall and new looking furniture apart from the wardrobe, the carpets and bathroom floor coverings looked nearly new and the above bath shower had constant hot water.
The bar area was clean and looked to have had a recent makeover, beer prices where a bit steep for our Yorkshire pockets but the 2 for 1 bar until 9pm helped, bar staff very hard working and friendly
The restaurant was well organised and the food selection was very good, food hot and well presented all served buffet style with the staff very hard working. The hotel is well placed for all the local amenities but please think twice about leaving the hotel after dark !!!
Overall a well presented and well organised hotel, very clean with helpful staff we would use this hotel again in the future.

Surprisingly good Hotel

Part of a coach trip, heart sank when we pulled up the outside is terrible.

Pleasantly surprised at reception and other communal areas, yes a bit dated, but it was fine for a budget break.

Our room had an awful view of rear shops loads of refuse bins, full to the brim, but that's not the hotels fault.

Our room must of had a bit of a makeover, fresh paint, new carpets and nets. But it was beautifully clean and towels and crisp white bedding. 

Breakfast buffet style, piping hot food, cereals, fruit, toast, decent quality too. Our evening meals were OK, typical budget holiday food, but it was hot, edible and ok for a few days.

The location is the best thing about the hotel, right in the heart of Coventry, a few minutes walk to the shops, pubs, resteraunts and cathedral.

It's worth a stay if your on a budget, perfectly serviceable and clean.

Not as bad as I was expecting after reading other reviews 

Having stayed here twice before on coach holidays and not having very good experiences before - I was happy with the latest stay we had which was also with a coach company.
Our room looked like it had a new carpet, new white net curtain, and new curtains.  The bathroom is very dated along with the rest of the hotel.
The included evening meal, and 2 breakfasts were fine - self service.
The hotel is well placed for access to the city centre.

Better than I expected!

Turned up, gave my mates reserved room away as "they had a load of coaches turn up". It was RESERVED. Enquired about it and they got aggressive and asked me to leave. Would not rate. Full of incompetent aggresive "hospitality" staff. Stinks of mould too.

Asked to leave as they gave up my room

All I can say is I have never stayed in a dirtier hotel.  We went on a trip to the Cotswolds with national holidays who booked this place for us.  I could feel springs coming through bed and when my o/h checked mattress he was heaving when he saw the state at is was severely pissed stained and dirty, we ended up sleeping on top of duvet.  Bathroom had poo stains on floor and it looked like a dog had chewed the bathroom door frame.  We wondered why it sounded so windy to find the window did not close properly and was missing 2 of the secondary pieces of glass.  Heating never went off and when we asked staff they said it was on a timer.  The dial did not work to turn off.  Curtains filthy including floors.  Bath still had someone’s shower gel smeared down the bath and water leaked everywhere.  Toilet seat was not on straight with a 2 inch difference.  Tv never saved settings so everytime it was switched on it had to be reprogrammed otherwise you only had audio channels.  This hotel is a disgrace and who ever owns this should be ashamed of themselves.

Filthiest hotel ever

Stayed here for 2 nights while on coach tour of Cotswolds.
Great stay. 
Room was spacious clean and warm
Background heaters in rooms if needed.
Plenty of tea and coffee in room.
Restaurant staff organised by giving parties time slots to avoid congestion
Food was good quality. 3 course meal with hot drinks.
Carved roast meat every night which gave generous portions.
All staff attentive and pleasant attitude.
Between 6pm and 9pm drinks were 2 for 1. 
Bed was very comfortable. Bath Nd shower in bathroom. Hot water was available at all times

Hotel situated alongside cathedral bar areas and shopping areas so good place to stay.
This hotel is great value for the price charged.
Anyone wanting frills would need to find a more expensive venue bearing in mind frills cannot be guaranteed anywhere!

Great stay. Great value

We stayed here as part of a coach trip. Bedrooms large and beds very comfortable and clean. Decor is faded and bedrooms need complete refurbishment. Food was excellent both breakfast and dinner. The staff are the best part of this hotel. Kind and  very efficient. The restaurant manager is a great asset to this hotel and I hope appreciated by the management.

Was pleasantly surprised 

Caledonian Travel trip. As there were 3 of us, I was in a twin room myself. Room and bathroom were spotless. The radiator in my room wasn't working but a plug in radiator had been provided which suited me better as I hate sleeping in a too hot room.  Of the 2 beds in the room one felt like it could do with an upgrade to the mattress as it felt worn out. The other bed, however, had a relatively new mattress, and I had a comfortable sleep. Hotel food was also excellent. Buffet style with a choice of 2 or 3 mains each night and a selection of gateau for puds. My friends room was the same as mine with one good bed and the other on the lumpy side again spotless, and they had a working radiator. I would happily stay here again.

Cally travel trip

I stayed here as part of a coach trip.  We were only told of the hotel on the day of the departure therefore no time to research etc. This is without a doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.  The room itself was okay apart from the holes in the curtains and woodwork. The bathroom was disgusting, with hair, dirt, and wet toilet roll still in the bath.  The floor was all stained and the toilet cistern was held together with sellotape. 

The lifts were temperamental, there was one lovely man a reception the others were quite rude.  Our key card stopped working (This happened several times to lots of the coach party and one of the times the guy snatched the key card from my hand) I was like eh!  The dinner/Breakfast service wasn't the best, the setup was a bit of shambles but the guy there doing the carvery was super lovely.

Now before I start I live in a scheme and would never put down any area but I did not feel safe and in fact was told by someone in the hotel as I nipped out to get some water for the room that I shouldn't go out by myself which I thought was strange.  Until I went outside and walked along only to see let's say  some dodgy dealings going on. It made where I live look like Disneyland

I have travelled as a single parent for the last 12 years all over the UK and beyond, and many times have been in central London and never felt that way.  

This was at the weekend and maybe things are different if it is during the week but I thought others should know.

I can't for the life of me understand why the Coach Company is still using this hotel.
Everyone else on the coach trip agreed although some of their opinions were more colourful than mine.
