Stayed here due to location. Hotel was very busy as there was lots going on in London this weekend. Most hotels were very expensive but this was much more reasonably priced. Our room was lovely (on 10th floor) breakfast was good too. Staff seemed pleasant. We were out all day so we just used the hotel for somewhere to lay out heads which worked out for us.The main thing which I know may seem silly was that the windows were filthy. The windows in the restaurant were so dirty on the outside what would have been a nice view wasn't due to this, same for in our room. Other than this overall a lovely hotel in a great location.

Lovely staff very friendly. Atmosphere was nice and calm. In the room Decor was dated and furniture was tired and the carpets were in need of a deep clean or replacement. The air conditioning was not working so was a toasty 24°C so we had to use a fan.

Oh dear Oh dear !!!!Just come back from a few days in Canary Wharf.From half an hour checking in to the disappointment of the smeared glass framing the views,The Britannia really surprised me for mostly the wrong reasons.For £100 per night we had a grubby,tired room with old fixtures and fittings and a dirty bathroom with a shower head over bath with a poor pressure.The bed was two singles bolted together,hence had the gap between us so couldn't lay in the middle.The TV was a small analogue not opposite the bed.As for the windows,Grimey and misty obscuring the view over the Thames.We had to complain to reception,and the lady swapped out room for an identical one,which we rejected.After speaking at length to the manager,we eventually spent our last night in an executive suite,which was spacious,clean,with a comfy double bed and large smart TV,however the bathroom was still way below expectations for a room of this quality.Seeing as this Hotel is on the Thames,within Canary Wharf I would have assumed clean windows inside and out were a necessity rather than a request. Everything was musty and old with apparently little investment within this hotel.We opted for breakfast one morning,and for £12.50pp you get canteen style food of the most basic quality with essentials all of which fall well below average.We since found out that the Britannia Hotel Chain houses asylum seekers and other people awaiting processing before being moved on. Funded by the Council,bumping up owners profits!It is important that residents of this establishment realize this is a basic,underfunded budget hotel being propped up with government funding.A really poor example of a Hotel in an area of much better quality establishments.

the hotel was nice and clean. great location. The breakfast coffee was good! A small minus from the fake room upgrade. I understand that they wanted to create an image of good service, but this was just embarrassing.All in all, value for the money!

This hotel is supposedly a 4*. I have stayed in much better 3* hotels. Our first introduction was to their car park which smelled dreadful and had piles and piles of old carpets and rotten furniture stored in it. …

We recently stayed at the Britannia International Hotel for a conference in Canary Wharf. Upon arrival, we had a 45-minute wait to check in, and to our surprise, the first room we were given was already occupied! After complaining, the staff quickly upgraded us to a much nicer room with a window, which was a great improvement. Pro tip: avoid booking the internet room if you want a view. Once settled, our upgraded room was spacious with an excellent view of the city. We ended up extending our stay for an extra night because we were happy with the overall experience. Despite the initial hiccup, it turned out to be a good stay!

Wonderful Stay and Excellent Service!We had a fantastic stay, and the staff was incredibly helpful. Special thanks to Assish, the night manager, who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The room was clean, spacious, and the overall experience was great. Highly recommend this hotel for its exceptional service!This version keeps it short and omits the room upgrade.

Stayed here many times and without fail, the fire alarm goes off during the night. Tired decor, frazzled but very polite staff, doors slaming through the night. It's not great, but the price is on point when you compare to what's around. Plus point is the room service beats some of the higher rated hotels. Fast, edible, reasonable price.
