Very good value for money place to stay in the heart of Coventry City Centre
As an irregular regular of the Britannia Coventry, staying for a couple of nights every two months or I am pleased to report that I noticed improvements are being made and that on every visit the hotel gets better in terms of décor and maintenance yet there still remains much to do.
The reception area does not present a fantastic first impression and I could believe that some potential guests would turn around at this point and not stay, however, then you would not be in receipt of a wonderful welcome by the hard-working yet very professional, efficient and friendly staff.
The route to the room could be improved with the cleanliness of the lifts nearly always an issue for me, the new carpets in the corridors are a great addition.
The room was first of all larger than most, it was nicely decorated and well maintained, new chairs, the television was very small and old but did the job. The bed had a very comfortable mattress with an okay duvet and pillows.
The bathroom was again large, yet let the room down given its dated state, though the shower had brilliant water pressure and the room was exceptionally clean.
The bar is OK, I have only had drinks and they were pricey but very good, can’t comment on the food but £13.50 pp for breakfast is expensive compared to say Travelodge or Premier Inn.
The locatio is fabulous for the main bus station (across the road), the train station is a taxi or bus
