Britannia SI-9T6 SLX-C

Rule Britannia!

Advantages: Cheap! Central Location.
Disadvantages: Soft Pillows, dirty bathroom.

expensive. So, it was time for some shopping around? Doing a load of searching and whatnot on Google, I stumbled upon this, the Britannia Hotel. Located down New Street, Birmingham, and at just £35 per night as the advanced fee ? it was a bargain. Finding The Hotel Being pretty poor at most sort of planning, I didn?t really take much note of exactly where the Hotel was, just that it was somewhere down New Street. So, it actually took us a bit of finding, but that was mainly due to us not knowing Birmingham at all. All I remember now, is it is next to Primark, so that?s that. The Room We had room 225, located right at the end of the maze-like corridor, on floor two. Opening the door, the room was pretty much how we expected it to be ? as basic as humanly possible.

Review of Britannia Hotel, Birmingham

RULE BRITANNIA

Advantages: Well thought out and good gaming rules
Disadvantages: Requires a little focus, not for everyone

Long before the popular games like 'Age of Empires' and 'Civilisation' tried to bring us a flavour of historical strategy gaming to our PC there were a number of board games that did the same on a more traditional gaming format.

Review of Britannia

Rule Britannia?

Advantages: newly refurbed room, brilliant bath and shower, price
Disadvantages: some areas still quite tatty

Well my second weekend in Brumopolis passed with little excitement, which was something of a relief. The hotel on this occasion was booked through laterooms.com (see previous review) and was the Britannia in the city centre, it cost me £47 for a double room bed only, a friend also staying the same night paid £42 for a single. Arriving at the train station my previous visits 'beer compass' directions sent me for a walk around the outside of the train station but from the exit through the shopping centre it is literally a walk of a minute at most (note to self shoving through groups of football fans is a bad idea). But for a city centre hotel you cant get much more central than this one. The hotel itself has the entry through Union Passage just off the main street. The revolving door is quite heavy but there is a wider ...
