Worst Rated Hotel - Sachas Hotel, Manchester

What's The Britannia Hotel, Manchester like WATCH HERE 👉https://youtu.be/uxJPLaUlDmI

You’ve not had the full Sachas experience without a double windowless room. You’ve literally no idea what time or day it is. Everyone seems to have some memories of this place. For me it was getting lost and stumbling into a service room with mouldy plates covering the floor. There was also a young lady with a glass eye snorting coke by the entrance at 2am. It’s like a portal to the weirdest parallel dimension…

I feel bad for the dude who had to stay there because his company accommodated him 😂

I stayed there once, I was trying to find the place and asked some cops for directions, one said “why on earth did you decide to stay there? You should find somewhere else” 😂

I always feel a tinge of sadness for hotels like this - like a neglected house that’s falling to pieces but that has masses of potential if only someone would spend a bit of cash on it. Thank you for such a fair and unbiased review. You now have a new subscriber.

Oh my days, I used to work here about 30 years ago as Assistant Night Manager. Back then, the place was always busy with functions. Hotel security had an office three floors under street level. Anyone misbehaved during functions. Security would take them to the room to await the police. Jenny's Restaurant was a busy pizzeria, and next to Jenny's was a French themed restaurant that they tried to focus on fine dining. I remember the nightclub called Saturdays that was linked to the hotel. The internal rooms were always embarrassing, so even then, we would upgrade where we could. We were given quite a lot of discretion about upgrades, discounts etc. Best thing about working here was having access to the roof where it was nice to spend your rest break. The views across the city then were amazing.

Wow, that was a blast from the past. I was the apprentice electrician there. We transformed that place from an old C&A store to one of the finest hotels in Manchester in the 80's. A lot of good memories working there.

Whilst any bad hotel is usually down to poor upkeep I genuinely think they wouldn't be so bad if the guests looked after the fittings as they should. You imagine how many pissed up people stay in city centre hotels and don't really care how they behave.....worth considering.

I used to stay here whenever I travelled to Manchester for gigs because it was cheap - The windowless rooms would get so hot in the summer I’d have to get up 5 or 6 times in the night for a cold shower - And as an extra treat I was once in the pool downstairs and an elderly man swam past me and preceded to cough up phlegm and spit it in the water next to me - Oh the memories!

Another good "worst" review. I like the fact that you don't slate the hotels just for the sake of it, but do mention the positives as well. I suppose the most worrything though is how many of them are owned by Britannia....

Britannia hotels give absolutely zero F's 😂 At this point i just gotta admire their total ruthlessness. Merry Xmas Tim.

The only good thing about it is the fact my cat was dumped in a cat carrier behind there…he went to the rspca when I adopted him, it’s now 10 years later and Willis is living the good life!

For Red Dwarf fans the one disused bar area seen at 13mins was setup with tables and chairs to be a restaurant in the series 2 episode ‘better than life.’ It had horrendous dark floral wallpaper back then and apparently did until recently although it’s now been painted slightly more tastefully judging from your footage.

For £55 a night in central Manchester the room looked decent enough. The bed looked as though it could be replaced, but I would happily stay there for a night or two if needed at that price.

Just as a side note to your video, this hasn't always been a hotel. This building used to be a C & A clothes store before the firm closed its stores in the UK. You may or may not remember C & A. Their clothes were branded with the 'Canda' label. Older viewers will remember it well and may even still have some of their clothes in the back of the cupboard. In 2000, due to competition from Tesco and ASDA, and to expanding high street names such as H&M, Zara and Topshop, C & A announced its withdrawal from the British market, where it had been operating since 1922. They still operating across Europe.

Honest review as always, I’ve never minded out dated, cleanliness is the most important part of any stay, followed of course by comfort, thank you for the review Tim x

£55 in Manchester? Absolute bargain! You even got a hairdryer with a brand new diffuser. Biggest problem was that the door didn't lock. I would have taken a trip down to receptionShame about the lack of water in the pool, I'd never expected to be able to swim in a budget hotel and it would have been an amazing bonus. I would have gone out of the hotel for a meal and drink.

I've stayed at the britannia in Edinburgh twice, both times i've booked the windowless room and both times they upgraded us to a better room. Im starting to think those rooms don't actually exist in that hotel at all!

I stayed there for a couple of nights a few years back. While the decor was tired (especially in the corridors), it was nowhere near as bad as it’s made out to be. The hotel isn’t old at all. It was converted from a former C&A Department Store in the ‘90s. Underneath all the plastic domes stuck on the outside is quite a decent Art Deco building!

Enjoying a lazy Sunday binge watching your vids. You are always very well mannered and respectful to people and the properties, so rare on youtube these days. Well done mate.
