The Britannia Hotel Birmingham is the perfect place for guests looking for conveniently located, affordable hotels in Birmingham city centre.
As one of the three largest cities in the United Kingdom, alongside London and Manchester, Birmingham boasts a wide array of cultural and social venues and events, as well as a variety of both independent and franchised shops and eatieries dotted across its perimeter. Birmingham city centre is particularly vibrant, and well worth a visit for travellers passing through the Midlands and looking for an enjoyable day of shopping or evening out in town. More culturally or historically-oriented visitors may also appreciate the plentiful monuments and landmarks Birmingham and its surrounding area have to offer.
Standing proudly on the town’s most famous street, the Britannia Birmingham offers a prime city centre location, ideal for shoppers and visitors. Positioned right next door to Primark and within walking distance of the Bullring shopping centre, visitors to Birmingham could not wish for a better location from which to explore the city centre. The city’s New Street Train Station is also just a short walk away and has close links with the NEC, Warwick Castle and Brindley Place.
The hotel's 214 en-suite bedrooms are tastefully furnished, all with tea and coffee making facilities, ideal for cost-effective city centre accommodation.
Jenny's Restaurant offers a fantastic way to start the day, with a full English all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast on offer. Harvey's Bar, on the other hand, provides a tranquil environment for guests to relax in, while enjoying light snacks and drinks with friends or colleagues.
Alternatively, there are a huge and varied array of restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and occasions located right at the hotel’s doorstep; similarly, China Town is but a stride down the road, offering a superb selection of traditional Chinese fare.

Latest Reviews
Location of the hotel only was excellent. As of i am disabled user, No accessible parking for Disabled guests. We were given a key for the disabled room which wasn’t very clean. When i pointed out that it was the disable toilet we needed i was told that all the disabled toilets were out of order – obviously untrue! Dirty, smelly, not disabled accessible. Staff also refused to assist me at some point wherever i was needing the help. Nothing to say more about this hotel. Totally avoid.
