The Telegraph7.0

Independent "On Manchester’s energetic Canal Street – surrounded by bars, clubs and restaurants – this flamboyant boutique hotel has 36 individually styled bedrooms"

Lonely Planet "Stuck in a glorious time warp, the Britannia has decor so over the top it really has to be seen to be believed... It's also slap bang in the centre of town." Full review
Time Out "The Britannia's main selling points are its location - on Piccadilly Gardens - and its very reasonable rates. ... Perfect for those who like a bit of faded grandeur." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"Three-pearl Britannia Manchester is a real mixed bag. On the plus side, the location is spot on, with the city's top shopping and attractions just outside." Full review
