4 Star Britannia Hotel Canary Wharf - no expense spared

Posted by Liz Dance on 23/7/2025, 4:23 pm

Asylum seekers are now going to be housed in the 4 star Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf, why do these economic migrants have to be housed in 4 star luxury? This hotel is in a prime location about 10 years ago whilst working in Canary Wharf my husband stayed here, a single room in those days was in excess of £250 per night, how much now?

Why can’t we match the accommodation Greece is providing, bunk beds in a warehouse, basic provisions, oh no we must roll out the red carpet for these invaders at no expense spared an absolute disgrace especially when the country is supposedly extremely short of money ??

I cant believe how Stupid this Government is. Being ultra generous to these people is encouraging more and more to come. They also take kindness as weakness and are laughing at us.
When Brits complain about this stupidity they get branded far right.

It is madness. I just cannot see when all this will end. More and more of our taxes are being spent on this when the rest of our country is being left behind with failing NHS etc. No wonder the public are angry. But when will it END?

Apparently the cost per night is going to be £32,000, also new mattresses have been delivered along with other items, what is wrong with the furniture etc already in situ at the 4 star hotel, is it not good enough for these asylum illegal migrants, I despair.

I think perhaps people gathering to complain might stir these useless MP’s. I’d read the Police were escorting the “ immigrants welcome here” rent a mob, as there were not localto make sure they were safe. You couldn’t make it up.

John, do you have a tent if I were you I would take it with you just in case!!!!

Would be interesting to hear how things go, if you are contacted, how they explain to you why they have cancelled your booking.

Liz, Sheila,
the booking was made through a travel company so no doubt they will be in contact soon.
The purpose of the break was to join the Waverley Paddle Steamer for a trip from Tower Bridge down the Thames to Southend, hopefully it will still be able to navigate through all the black dinghies coming in the opposite direction.

Good luck John on both counts avoiding the dinghies and hopefully securing another hotel booking.

PS Waverley

WHAT a ship, the LAST sea-going paddle steamer.

Was on it last year, on the Clyde, and into some sea lochs...great ship.....

John, it would be interesting to know if your booking is still accepted.

John, forgot to mention, in the unlikely event that your booking is honoured you will be glad to know you might be sleeping on a brand new mattress courtesy of the British Tax Payer, of which you are a contributor, aren’t you glad your hard earned money is being put to good use?

John, I wouldn’t give that hotel a penny of my money, instead prospective customers should boycott all such hotels.

Mac,
I totally agree with you, I would never normally book a Britannia group hotel but the booking was made centrally so we had no choice.
We received the Canary Wharf hotel cancellation this morning informing us that the booking had been transferred to a (non Britannia) hotel near St Albans. As the new hotel is further from the channel ports it should be quieter!

I was booked into this hotel in October on a trip with Caledonean Travel. Ive been told hotel is closed and they are busy relocating July/August guests and we will be told nearer the time where we are staying. Must be a headache for this company to relics at such short notice.

Carol? Wake up, and smell the coffee, is an old adage...

A headache, to relocate all of their bookings?

They CHOSE to take the migrants, and will make a bloody FORTUNE from it, MORE than they would make from regular bookings..

THAT's why they do it....this government, spending OUR tax money..

Instead of putting them in a bunk bed in a barn, or shipping them strait back to where they came from.....

Friday rant over.....

Malcolm I have to agree with you. As far as these Hotel owners are concerned, it’s no contest. They are making tens of millions from the tax payer. I’m concerned about anyone who disagrees is right wing and it’s not true. Most people want their country back. These people are not poor asylum seekers, most are criminals and behaving the same here. Lots of them have already been caught, stealing and assaulting people, mostly in London.
