This is a very nice hotel with a friendly, lively atmosphere. The Hotel base is ideal for both business and pleasure, as we are only 20 minutes away from the Birmingham N.E.C. We are located in the heart of this historic City, adjoining the famous Coventry Cathedral. The Hotel is within walking distance to both Coventry Transport Museum and the Belgrade Theatre. (11/05IT) This is a modern seven-storey building, which was built in 1973 and renovated in 1990. Situated right in the City Centre, adjoining Coventry Cathedral.. Leave at Junction 2 from the ring road and follow signs to CoventryCathedral.

The Britannia Coventry Hotel is a newly refurbished hotel located right in the heart of the city, adjacent to the historically famous Coventry Cathedral. A former De Vere hotel, the hotel remains a major Midlands conference and banqueting place. The Flightlink service from Birmingham International Airport, stops in Coventry just opposite the hotel. Department stores and the city's shopping center are just on the doorstep of the hotel. This is a good choice for either the business or leisure traveller, just 20 minutes from the National Exhibition Center, and convenient to the tourist centers of Warwick and Stratford. Brittania Coventry has 211 guest rooms, equipped with en- suite facilities, a complimentary hospitality tray, and a variety of other amenities. The Britannia Coventry Hotel enjoys a well-deserved reputation for its cuisine, and the hotel's restaurant, Bentley's, offers a tempting menu with a view of Cathedral Square. Daimler's Bar offers a range of bar snacks and meal throughout the day. The intimate bar and restaurant both are favorites with the locals, as well as hotel guests. The hotel is conveniently close to the fine dining, shopping and entertainment venues of Coventry.

Coventry is Lady Godiva’s city, and the Britannia hotel is located in the heart of it. The hotel is located within walking distance of the main tourist attractions of the city—the ruins of Coventry Cathedral, the Museum of Transport, and the University of Coventry. It is also near a Sainsbury’s grocery store and a main bus station. The Birmingham Airport is only 9 minutes away.
A couple of points about the hotel. Smoking is allowed in the lobby and permeates the stairwells to the rooms. The hotel restaurant offers sub-par food—it’s uninventive, bland, and way overpriced. However, the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.
The rooms themselves are small. Although the hotel is designed to be ultra-modern, it’s in serious need of updating and repair. The outside is stained, gray, and streaked with soot from the nearby industrial plants. Our room had stained and ripped sheets, a tatty blanket, and a television with more static than channels.
The tasteful lobby is the nicest part of the building, and gives a false impression to the other areas of the hotel. Additionally, since the Britannia is located in a college town, the outside noise and rowdiness at night can disturb a night’s rest.
