Awful
I don't even know where to start with this hotel.. dated, grubby, rude, lifts not working, NO WINDOWS in the room, and to top it all off NO AIR CON in the room. We were stifled, hot, and suffocating in our room. Calling up the hotel staff to work our air con we were greeted with a grumpy maintenence man who came and turned on a switch which just blew hot stale air around the windowless, dark dingy CELL. We managed the next night to get another room which actually had a window, albeit facing a car park, and looking over the roof section of the hotel which was covered in rubbish and fag butts. To say the staff were rude and unhelpful is an understatement. On our second night I couldn't find my room key in my handbag, the doorman then proceeded to shut the door in our faces!!!! If we wouldn't have pushed the door open and found the key at that moment he would have left two young women out on the street at 2 in the morning. The customer lifts weren't working so we had to use the trade lift...Read more

Disgusting!
There were many things wrong with our stay at the Britannia Sachas, ranging from the fact that we had booked an executive double and were given a pokey box room where you couldn't even walk on either side of the bed to horror of horrors -... fleas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The moment we walked into the room, the smell of damp and mould hit us. The carpet was mouldering around the edges, the wallpaper peeling from the walls... Like other people have commented the decor is a riot of different floral prints which makes every room look dingy! The toilet seat was not attached to the toilet, the water closet was falling to pieces, the tap leaked all the time and was so noisy we had to muffle it with towels over night so that we could sleep without fear of Japanese Water torture. The TV was faulty, as were the lamps and the hair dryer. Worst of al the next morning I spotted what I thought was a pinky brown coloured ant on the floor and when I reached down to squash it it hopped several inches in the air!...Read more

Don't stay here !
My wife & I have never stayed in a worse hotel then this. We don’t stay in high priced places as a rule, but you couldn’t pay us to stay here again. We stayed for one night and had to change rooms twice. Room 1.. Water dropping onto table lamp & TV, Bathroom tap dripping continuously, the entrance light to the room was blown and the phone connection to inform reception kept cutting out. Room 2 .. Carpet totally soaked through with water and smelt as if it had been that way for a long time. Room 3.. Had no heating in it and it was freezing in there to start with. We will rate this hotel +1 (worst) only because -3 is not on the list

Couldn't really fault it!!!!
Stayed here in July when we went to see the red hot chili peppers. Arrived at hotel at 2 got our room straight away no queuing at all. Room was very clean, bed was comfy and the shower was great!!! What more can you ask for for £50

Unbelievable!!!!!
We booked in good faith over the internet - bad move. The room immediately smelt of urine - it got worse - I actually stood bare foot on the carpet sodden we urine from a previous occupant - it was so bad it went all over my feet. The room still had the remnanats of Christmas decorations on the floor!! We were moved to another room but could not shower or bath as the bathroom was scummy. We could not vacate quick enough. In fairness the management have offered us a room update on our return - fankly we would rather die than stay in this disgusting hotel.
