Britannia Hotel Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location in town, car park short walk away. Hotel bar was lovely. Perfect for what we needed. Walls a bit thin so can hear people in the corridor or next door if they are being loud. But we weren’t spending much time in the hotel other than to sleep so this did not bother us. "
