About
Britannia Hotel City Centre Manchester
Britannia Hotel City Centre Manchester sits on Portland Street, putting guests within easy walking distance of the city’s bars, restaurants, and the coach station. The property is a straightforward 3-star operation with 24-hour reception, a lift, and a vending machine — nothing fancy, but reliable for a short stay. The hotel is roughly 2.6 km from Etihad Stadium, though it’s the city-centre convenience that draws most guests.
Rooms are simple and functional, with heating, tea and coffee facilities, and either a bathtub or shower. There are no-window options in both single and twin formats, which tend to be the cheapest. The hotel also welcomes pets, has facilities for disabled guests, and offers a bar/lounge area plus special diet menus on request.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness are middling — At a score of 6, expect no frills. The overall guest rating of 7 out of 10 reflects a basic experience.
- Dining scores low — At 5 out of 10, the food offer — including breakfast — earns mixed feedback. Some guests skip breakfast entirely.
- No-window rooms exist — Some single and twin rooms have no windows, which may feel cramped or dark for certain guests. These are likely the cheapest option.
