Worse than faulty towers and nothing funny about it

We booked into the hotel with an economy double room. To get to our room we had to either use the service elevator or go up 5 flights of stairs with the last two flights being the service stairs, which were cold, dank, dark and covered in used crockery, glasses, dirty laundry, filthy rags and so on. Upon entering our room it stank of smoke, there were fresh cigarette butts in the ashtray, half a bottle of coke on the side, the bed wasn't made and there was a thick white stain on the floor, looked like soup. The sink had also recently been used (not by us). I think one of the staff had been using it for a smoke break. We had to rush for a meal in the hotel resteraunt downstairs so got changed VERY hurridly (I was half expecting the cleaner to waltz in, mop and fags in hand ready to have a lie down), and went to the hotel reception to complain and change room before going for the meal. The staff were very apologetic but made no offers apart from changing room for us (which seemed...... Read more

Booked 5 rooms for a weekend break with friends and family and must admit it's just about the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, and believe me i've stayed in some pretty dodgy places in both the UK and abroad. Have stayed here two years ago and had a bad experience, but at the time was told that the hotel was undergoing refurbishment so decided to try it again, must admit couldn't see much of a refurbishment and in fact was worse than last time. Service is appalling, staff miserable and rude and majority had a very limited english vocabulary. Air conditioning not working, wasn't two years ago either. Lift was out of order and apparently had been since June 2008. When we tried to complain to the duty manager, didn't seem to be able to make a decision, we were not the only people who complained! About the only good thing it's got going for it is the door out and the fact it's situated right in the heart of the city.

Hotel is all right

Stayed one night at Sachas with party of 7 for Hen night. Ideally situated for shops pubs etc. Twin bedded room, no window, but plenty of light from 4 lamps provided. Comfy beds. Air conditioning worked well but a bit noisy. Clean & tidy room, well stocked hospitality tray, hair dryer, tv, trouser press. The only downside was the dated bathroom, it was clean but needed a little TLC i.e mold on sealant around bath, and around the handle on bath but otherwise ok. Breakfast was lovely, choice of cereals, juices and full English breakfast and plenty of it. All in all we weren't put off and for the money we paid. We would stay there again. Pleasant, friendly, helpful staff too.

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...... 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...... Read more
