 The Impressive Central Staircase by johngayton This certainly is, architecturally, a good-looking hotel occupying a huge former cotton warehouse, dating back to 1858, here in Manchester's city center. Internally too the building is pretty impressive with its characterful, yet traditional, decor and its magnificent central balconied stairway ascending from the chandeliered lobby the five or so floors to the top story. We had a minor hiccup at check-in when the reception's computer decided to go down but that wasn't a problem as we'd arrived early anyway and had intended just to drop our bags off and have a wander round the nearby City Art Gallery. The porter was on hand to take our bags and store them for us when we returned later and service throughout our overnight stay was spot-on and friendly. Room was fine, a little atypical of this standard of hotel, but had everything required including free Wi-Fi and was scrupulously clean and well-maintained. The shower in the en-suite took a little bit of working out how to turn on but once mastered provided a decent pressure and the complimentary toiletries were of a reasonable standard. The hotel offers a choice of bars and restaurants ranging from formal dining in its Cromptons French Restaurant to the totally informal and trendy Wave Bar. Having had a long day and with an early start the following morning we just opted for a room-service pizza which arrived promptly and was excellent - the accompanying bottle of wine though turned out to be white rather than the red I'd ordered but it was drinkable and not really worth complaining about in what was otherwise an ideal stay.
This certainly is a good standard hotel in an attractive building and the biggest plus is that it is pretty much slap-bang in the middle of the city centre, minutes from Picadilly Station, just down the road from Chinatown and Canal Street, and minutes walk from pretty much everything else that the city centre has to offer including easy access to the Metrolink tram network. It is also very good value for money.

 The Britannia Hotel's located in the heart of town by MDH This hotel located right in the heart of Manchester was a pleasant surprise to someone who had stayed in an uncomfortable hostel in London where German girls puked in the toilet constantly....anyways, this hotel was excellent as a starting base. Rooms are relatively inexpensive, very clean and comfortable. The hotel is a local landmark, and while I was there, was used by many flight crews spending nights there on their layovers. The staff are also friendly and helpful.
The lobby to the Britannia Hotel is decorated in late Victorian/Edwardian style, complete with large chandelers and a grand staircase that goes up four flights. A room with a single bed is relatively small, but are comfortable and exceptionally well-kept, with en-suite facilities too. A free complimentary breakfast is provided for by the hotel down below the lobby.
