1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed here for one night under a booking made by a colleague and really didn't enjoy the experience.

The hotel's website says it is "formally [sic] Holiday Inn Nottingham City Centre part of the Intercontinental Group" and goes on to describe the Britannia as Nottingham's "premier hotel". I'd be interested to learn what Intercontinental think of that description since the hotel is, as far as I'm aware, nothing to do with them. A more honest description would be that it's a thirty-five year old former Holiday Inn which the previous owners sold because they didn't think it worthy of refurbishment.

My room (next to the lift shaft) was large but dated with a mouldy bathroom, a heavily soiled carpet, dirty walls, a rag-tag selection of furniture and poorly laundered linen. The room looked out over a rubbish strewn fire escape.

The conference facilities were mediocre and the air conditioning wasn't working.

The only good thing was the price of the beer, at £1.50 per pint, but the vast bar was completely uninviting.

Overall, a disaster and, by the way, the adjoining NCP car park is useless for anything bigger than a supermini.

There has to be somewhere... anywhere... better to stay in Nottingham.

“Worst hotel ever - don't stay here”

Britannia Nottingham

Jul 12, 2008

Small dirty bedrooms and bathrooms, stained bedding and towels. Would have moved out, but could not find alternative hotel with rooms on the night.

Would have been cleaner, and felt safer, sleeping in my car in the adjoining NCP car park, with the car unlocked.

“grim, smelly, I left”

Booked a non smoking room through lastminute.com. The hotel was described by them as having "In addition to a great central location, the Britannia Nottingham Hotel has bright, contemporary bedrooms with luxury duvets to wrap up in and enjoy a top night's sleep."

What a lie, who ever wrote that clearly hasn't been there. I was given a smoking room which stank ,the smell was in everything, just plan disgusting to a non-smoker. They could only offer me another smoking room, so I left.

I complained the next day to lastminute.com who have got me a refund.

“Dreadful”

Britannia Nottingham

Jul 1, 2008

I stayed here just one night thankfully that was all.

It was a business trip organised by someone else but that was no excuse. The hotel is tired and outdated, the room was very small and cramped, food wasnt very good althought in fairness the staff were very helpful. The business meeting room we used was reasonable but overall I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The only good thing going for the hotel other than the staff was the location but there are plenty of other hotels in the city centre and I would suggest you consider one of them.

There was working on going so its possible that the hotel is being refurbished,

“A bit tatty, but OK for price”

Britannia Nottingham

Save Review

Booked an executive room. Room was large, fairly clean, smelled fresh, but the furniture was tatty, the sofa bed looked like one from a shared student house, with mismatching seat cushion. carpet had red wine stains. paintwork was marked, and room looked like it needed re-decorating.One set of net curtains was missing, so you had to close the wodden shutter to get dressed etc. nice clothes hanging area, with good well lit full length mirror. empty mini fridge, good for chilling beer. mini kettle and brewing up stuff. large stool was comfy, also a chair, and a TV with basic free view channels.
Bed was not a king size, was a bit too soft, but comfortable enough. douvet a bit thin, needed extra blanket. extra pillows were availiable in plastic covers. pillows were not best, but were Ok. decor a bit 80s meets japanees I did like the wooden shutters, and the roll top effect head board. At least the room wasnt chintzy and floral.
bathroom large and well lit. bath was short in length, but deep enough. hand shower, good for rinsing hair whilst in bath. second shower head over bath, good for invigorating shower.
some fixtures were cracked, but it was clean. bring own toiletries, as the ones provided smell like carbolic soap. two mini soaps, and 2 shower gels, smell cheap and nasty.
Staff were helpful, and gave directions to all places we wanted to go to.
lift broke down.
Breakfast was the most disgusting food ever had. we got there at 8.45, and it was stale pastries, cold overcooked bacon, congelaed greasy eggs, all cold. bacon was so dreadful, hubby had to spit his out.
No clean tea cups, and no tea, it had run out!
refused to pay for breakfast.
however, the room was cheaper than either travel lodge or that purple premier inn thing that lenny henry advertises, and was only a 5 min walk from rock city, and the central square.
Would stay again for price (less than sixty quid) . It did the job of somewhere to crash after a gig at rockcity. It isnt the Malmaison, but then it isnt in that price bracket.
I have stayed in the britania in manchester, and the Nottingham one is proberbly worse. If you are after somewhere a bit speacial, this isnt it. If you want a cheap place to get ready in, and crash in, Its fine.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — easy staggering distance from rock city, and the wooden oriental shutters.
    • Disliked — tatty wornout furniture and the breakfast.
