Justice for the faded glamour of a Brittania hotel where the only thing scarier than the ghouls that haunt the place are the hunchbacked ogres on reception.

Oh Christ, I've stayed in my fair share of them. The one on Piccadilly Gardens is particularly harrowing; its windows somehow repel sunlight.
 
Moxy is not a budget hotel! :D

Brittania is truly a once and never again kind of affair. I stayed in the Brighton one after a friend’s wedding with another pal - we were woken up at half four in morning by what sounded like truly violent shagging on the other side of the wall. No voices/moaning... just aggressive RUTTING with accompanying banging headboard.

Re: Easyhotel - it is serviceable but it truly is the Easyjet experience in hotel form… tiny rooms because they want to pack in as many as they can, saving a few quid if you agree to go WINDOWLESS. It remains a decent place to lay your head but I wouldn’t go there with a partner or if I planned to spend any time in the room whatsoever beyond sleeping, changing clothes and showering.

Worst worst worst
I stayed at the one in Canary Wharf years ago and I died and came back to life the next day as a gargoyle
 
Is (or was) there a Britannia hotel near the British Museum? I remember staying a big hotel there years ago which was vile.

My friend stayed in the one in Canary Wharf a while back. There was an off-shape, pop art Marilyn Monroe on the wall whose eyes followed you around the room.
 
So's PONTINS.

Recently famous for wildly discriminatory behaviour against people with Irish names.
 
I FEEL that we need a BRITANNIA HOTELS - WHAT DO YOU THINK thread and tribute remix in the tradition of PUMPKIN
 
The kitchen is OPEN ladies! :disco:

I'm trying to see what a Moxy hotel looks like but it immediately redirects me to Marriott Convoy, xenophobes!
 
This is Suedehead reporting LIVE from Holiday Inn Express Newcastle City Centre
I can confirm it is budget but really nice

The Leornado next to the arena is not to be missed! It’s become the unofficial hotel of Hen and Stag do’s.

(It’s also pretty darn good)
 
I have been JOLLY IMPRESSED by the Holiday Inns I've had to stay in for work. Easily the best of the budget ones in my experience

The one Best Western I stayed in was beyond bleak. And there was no hot water coming out of the shower. I called reception, the lady was well arsey and said that I just needed to let it run for longer. When I said I'd been trying for ten minutes she replied that, quite obviously, I also needed to run the hot tap in the sink in order to CHARM IT OUT of the shower as well (???). After another 10 minutes I did get a hot shower. Stunning amenities, 10/10
 
It’s not just the rooms at the Holiday Inns that are perfectly pleasant and clean but I also find their customer service consistently excellent. This one was no exception. It’s always my “go to” hotel for a race type event (London marathon, and this time Great North Run).

That being said
It wouldn’t be Moopy if we didn’t sidetrack into Hotel Britannia horror stories
More please
 
I had a brief moment where I was between homes and so, for a week or two, I stayed at a series of budget hotels in northern towns that nobody would choose to visit.

I stayed in the Brittania hotel in Stockport and when I arrived they told me they had upgraded my room, so rather than having a double room I had a room with THREE DOUBLE BEDS IN.

As I was staying three nights I decided to use a different bed every night. On the last night, I went to use the bed furthest from the door and there were a bunch of SCRUNCHED UP and WELL-USED TISSUES on the floor beside it. The glamour!

Rather expected in a room with THREE double beds!
 
To be fair, I had three double beds in my travel lodge. Worked well as was sharing with a friend, and offered my crush the third as he hadn’t bothered booking a hotel.

Ended up fucking him in the travel lodge bathroom instead, so really the third bed wasn’t needed :(
 
I have to stay in Premier Inns sometimes for work and they are usually grim, but the newish one in Hammersmith was nice.

Also enjoyed the Travelodge Birmingham Airport with a view of the runway cos I love planes.

Hampton by Hilton would be the only one I would choose to stay in though.

Now THIS, Mopsy, is why Travelodge is BUDGET through and THROUGH

Hang on. You mean the bathroom in your room surely right? Please tell me you’re not using the term bathroom in the American way and referring to a Travelodge TOILET ?!!!

Vote now updated to add Moxy. All the ones I’ve been to are great.

I’m actually going back to same one I’ve been to before in Lille next week because it was really nice.

Removing my vote for Moxy. Worst experience ever! This morning, around 6 as I was just starting to wake up, a fucking MAN walked into my room. He looked around confused for a few seconds, said something and then went out. As I was just starting to wake up I couldn’t believe or even understand what was happening.
