We booked the Britannia Hotel online, but when we walked from the station, we couldn't find it because it now identifies as Bello Osteria and has the words Britannia Hotel written in small type inside the front door. So, it is really a sort of hostel for young people. That said, they gave us a big, comfortable, clean and quiet room - with breakfast included - all for £68. We enjoyed the experience.

This isn’t really a hotel but an attachment to a hostel. It is the same place as the ostello bello. I felt quite deceived and would have stayed elsewhere. It was quite expensive for a hostel room.

Great property and excellent atmosphere as well a events and access to essentials. The room though was only okay and could use a small renovation. The area directly in front of the property and on the main road is pretty safe at night, but as soon as you head towards the waterfront it gets very sketchy, this is nothing against the hotel though. Would stay here again for sure for the value.

The room did not look like the picture. The bathroom was clean just very small. We had a large room but there was so much furniture and wardrobes that it was very cramped. Upon arrival there was hair on the bed, but apart from that it was clean enough.

Be aware

It was alright for a hostel. Really REALLY disgusting that they actually charge you to leave your bag in the luggage room. i checked out, train wasn’t till 1pm and they charged me to leave my bag - €3.5. Can you actually believe that?! Left a very very sour taste. Greedy greedy management

Tutto ok, unica nota sbagliata che io però considero molto nella scelta degli hotel è che le info sul parcheggio erano inesatte. La struttura non ha parcheggio in loco con supplemento ma rimanda ai parcheggi pubblici dove non ci sono convenzioni-sconti ma tariffario. Non capisco perché inserirlo nella descrizione. Personalmente non apprezzo questo modo di dare informazioni. Non saprei però se la colpa è dell'hotel o della piattaforma che dà informazioni sull'hotel.

Pratique et pas cher

Hotel situé juste à côté de la gare. C'est très pratique quand on arrive, mais quand on decouvre le quartier, ce n'est pas le meilleur... Grosse déception concernant le petit déjeuner vraiment, vraiment pas terrible...... Aussi, il a été difficile de trouver l'entrée car l'hôtel a changé de nom et s'appelle Osto Bello et non le Britania comme sur ce site !
