Hotel Campanile, Birmingham

Campanile Hotel, Glasgow

Advantages: nice rooms
Disadvantages: nothing major

After deciding to take a trip to Glasgow for a few days, my husband and I set out to find a good value hotel. After looking at the usual Travelodges and Premier Travel Inns, we came across the Campanile hotel which is like the French version of Travelodge. It was 52 pounds a night and had a secure car park, something which we found very good as parking in Glasgow tends to be quite expensive.

Review of Campanile Hotel, Glasgow

Birmingham Britannia Hotel - Average

Advantages: central location, reasonable room size
Disadvantages: dated furniture, noisy generator, rubbish towels

My initial reaction was to be extremely negative about this hotel, however, on reflection i think it is important to point out some of its good points.

If you are visiting Birmingham to shop, this is perfect. The kettle and toilet were clean, which is always a good start! The member of staff who booked me in was pleasant and helpful. There was an error with our booking, we had 4 rooms booked, but only two of us were on the list. She gave me the list to check through - which had other guest's names and personal details ...

The Hotel Which Time Forgot

Advantages: Cheap, great location
Disadvantages: Thin walls, decor has seen better days

I have stayed in hotels from time to time after a night out as it often works out as cheaper than getting a taxi home for me!
