Britannia Sachas Hotel - Manchester

Reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. Got to the room, which was a free upgrade due to our late arrival. 3 out of 5 lightbulbs missing!!! Hairdryer not working, no hot water for shower. It served the purpose as we were only staying 1 night, but rather dissappointing. One very good point was the excellent full breakfast for only a £5!!!!!!

The room was clean and large.Didn't expect to have no window and surprised how thin the walls were as i could hear was was going on next door. Hotel is in a great location for shopping and nightlife. I would stay here again because of its location.

me and my girlfriend stayed at this hotel on wednesday the 3 of august it is lovely and clean however we were woken in the early hours of the morning by people slamming there room doors continuosly not only this but our double bed was the most uncomfortable thing i have ever slept or attempted to sleep in. All this made our stay very disapointing and therefore we would not recomend it its so noisy.

stayed at hotel 3 years ago but no changed and needs complete overhall. Dirty carpets, lift.The room was not clean and hairs over bath and bathroom floor. Old kettle part on floor near TV. Breakfast was awful, cheap as chips but still wouldnt stay there again

We were fortunate enough to get some R & R after a week camping in Aviemore or so we thought!!!! This should have been the perfect end to a very perfect holiday with my boyfriend. However when we got to the hotel we were so disappointed with the room. It could only be best described as a broom cupboard with a bed. It was very very hot and the A/C did not work. No window or ventilation. The bathroom was outdated and dirty. The headboard was not attached to the wall or bed and constantly banged against the wall, even on moving (forget romance). However I will say that despite all that the staff are very very nice and very helpful. The facilities are very good but very upset about the condition of the room we were given!!!!

Terrible Hotel

Very nice, comfortable room right off Manchester Piccadilly. You get the sense this used to be a very posh hotel from a bygone era. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Good restaurant service and great prices.

quiet hotel 25 yards form town centre shops etc close to railway station etc,

First time in my life I've slept in a hotel room with no windows - and no air conditioning. It must have been at least 28 celsius.

I always book through Hotels.com. I have been traveling to Europe nearly every year for 6 years and never been disappointed in the hotels I have booked. They are always exactly what Hotels.com says they are if 4 star or 2 star. The prices at Hotels.com are always lower than the prices would have been if I had booked on my own...which is easy these days with the internet. I certainly will continue to book through Hotels.com. The Britianna Sachas was a lovely hotel very convenient to the main downtown area of Manchester, England. And I would recommend it to anyone.

Only stayed for one night but i would not hesitate to book again. Very friendly, efficient welcome. Hotel clean & well maintained, good value tasty breakfast. Location excellent for shops, bars & Arena. Felt safe &confident walking back to hotel from the Arena. Only fault very hot in room as no windows. It was large & bright (air con did not seem to work) but would not book the same if staying more than 1 night or summer.

I liked the hotel...as hotels go this was nice. The room was comfy and the bedding very clean. I booked this hotel as I wanted to use the facilites as I was a woman on my own in a different town. I didn't expect to have to pay extra to use the gym or swimming pool/jacuzi. The exterior of the hotel is quite grim, but once inside, it's like a palace compared. However the stench of urine and vomit is not what I wanted to walk through in order to get to my accommodation. I also found the off-street location intimidating especially at night.

The economy room was very poor standard, small and uncomfortably warm.

This hotel was very central,very clean and staff were friendly.Rooms were clean,and had the basics right.I would stay there again.

good location right in the middle of the city. ideal for staying in if attendending a football match in manchester

perfect in every way.from the location in the heart of everything.the spacious and clean bedroom with a huge bed and smoking or non smoking option..the pound a pint during happy hour and the all you can eat brekkie for a fiver..perfect in every way..oh and for those who want to take a dip or pump the muscles yep they got that as well.

This hotel is in an excellent location just five minutes walk away from main shopping area and huge shopping mall. Close to transport for football grounds etc. Staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and comfortable and value for money. My only disappointment is the food. One of the reasons I continued using this hotel is because of the excellent food, especially the buffet breakfasts. I usually would have breakfast at 9 a.m. By that time it seems that its just whatever is left, even though breakfast ends at 10 a.m. Even at 9 a.m. the food is cold and has been sitting for a long time and not fresh. I have also had a couple of carverys lately and they were not good. Im not hard to please by any means but the food is now a disappointment.

Staff were very friendly but the room was next to a laneway and the noise was unreal at about 4.30am. Some double glazing would increase this hotels market ability

when arrived waited in line to check in 25/30 mins rooms need a make over asap had meal it was very very poor and only warm would not eat in this hotel again bath /shower room was very poor with mouid around sink and bath and up walls also could not change temp on bath or shower hot or very very hot would not go cold

hotel is clean and staff friendly, my only fault was that the fire alarm was tested at 9am sunday, i appreciate these test need to be done but why so early!!!

quite comfort and attraction with good position

this hotels only plus is its location, the interior rooms are like being in prison. its too hot or too cold really old fixtures and fittings, bathroom was the pits and the bed was a joke with comedy nises to go with every movenent, pay the extra or go a travel in!!!

I booked this hotel as a cheap room when my boyfriend and I went to a concert in Manchester on Friday. I hadn't expected it to be quite as CHEAP as it was though! Not only was there no shower, there was also no radiator and the room was freezing! Also, there was barely a mattress - it was more like a collection of springs covered by a sheet. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone...pay a little extra and go anywhere else!

Good Value

The lifts were out of action so you had to wait over half an hour for the service lift to arrive. The staff were patronising, rude and unhelpful. The room clearners couldn't even be bothered to make the bed which had springs popping out of it and finally the fire alarm went off and after walking down from the sixth floor, one of the other guests told us that it was a false alarm and that they couldn't work out how to switch it off so we had to put up with that for most of the night! I don't think I will be rushing back.

The hotel was good value for money. The only minus point was the windows in my room, which looked very old.

From the check in staff who were friendly to the great value comfortable rooms. I would recommend Sachas to anyone.

If someone with a lot of money could just invest in this hotel and give it one major over haul it would be fantastic

On arrival found the receptionist very friendly and a bonus being able to check in some 3 hours early. Room was clean and spacious, although the hotel could invest in new beds and more upto date furnishings. On my stay the hotel was upgrading the lifts so only a service lift available, so usually had to use the stairs and I was on the fifth floor.

Execellent hotel and perfect value for money.

Really enjoyed the stay at Britannia Sachas Hotel in Manchester, gonna be visiting there every month at least 2 times or stay for couple of days next time. Very good stay and loved the place inside the manchester city centre near all the shops train station and coach station few mins walk.

The hotel looks great on the website but is old,tired, and cold. The lifts did not work and one of our rooms had a whole in the ceiling. The rooms were cold as the heating di not work. The pool as advertised was extra - so why mention it ? Breakfact was of poor quality. The staff were friendly but really this is not enough. My advice - avoid it !

If its a city centre location your looking for then this is a well situated hotel. If its a comfortable bed without a worn mattress then look elsewhere. The hotel is currently under going some renovation work and the normal lifts are OUT OF ORDER - you will need to use the service lift and then try to find your way to the room, its not very well sign posted. The shower had 2 temperatures - scalding hot or cold!!!! Room had a window with a half drawn curtain but to reach it you would have to be 9ft tall - this is no joke

Even though we read some terrible reviews of this hotel it was very central and we got a very good price so decided to give it a go. The room was large and clean and had all the comforts you would expect in a large hotel. \There was no noise disturbance. The lifts were out of order which may be a problem to some people.

Basic hotel with great location - right in the heart of manchester. OK if you're wanting somewhere to crash after a night out. We were warned by some reviews what to expect so we weren't disappointed. The hotel is old, worn and tired, but very cheap and reasonably clean with refreshment facilities. Beds were old, but after a heavy night we didn't have any problems sleeping.

The hotel is in the centre of things and very convenient. We we greeted on arrival but a friendly door man and helfpul, efficient reception staff. The hotel appears very grand with chandeliers, comfy lounge chairs and a great sense of space. The lifts looked lovely, with gold mirror finished doors....sadly the lifts were not working and we were advised to take a rather rickety old goods lift with a broken window pane. Our first experience of this was the doors failing to close properly but I am pleased to say, we mad it out alive! However, we felt more comfortable with the stairs from then on. Our rooms were spacious, my companions room was light and airy if a little old fashioned. My room was less delightful, with no ceiling lights the room was gloomy with just the table lights. The beds have certainly seen a lot of backs!! It was rather like sleeping on just a box spring. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The staff were helpful, friendly and courteous, the reastaurant, bar and leisure facilities were great. It is just a shame that the lack of comfort and facilities in bedrooms rather lets the whole thing down.

I was delighted with the cental location when I arrived. The lifts were not working so we had to use the staff lifts all weekend, this seemed to be broken for a while according to 1 guest.At first I thought the room was fine, and the beds were comfortable . We had only 1 working light in the room and there was no water at all ,the next morning so we could not wash our hands,have a shower or flush a toilet. In the afternoon the water was back on but the water was a dark brown colour..yuk ! The breakfast was fine the first morning but was terrible the second morning...maybe different chefs ??? Positives-The staff were friendly and the had a 4am residents bar , and the location is great.

Having stayed at this hotel before more than once then I thought I was going to have an enjoyable stay - how wrong I was. Firstly the lifts were being serviced and the service lift had broken down, forcing me to use the stairs (fortunately I was on the first floor). Secondly the room was freezing cold and the temperature control did not make any difference. Next I was woken at 5am the following morning by the Somerfield delivery right below the window which repeated each day. The final straw was the awful breakfast – I have had buffet style breakfasts before but this one was simply inedible. There is free WiFi but this has a weak signal in the rooms so it is suggested (by the hotel) that you have to take the laptop to the lobby or hotel diner. The only saving grace is the city centre location

There is no doubt that the hotel location is good and convenient as it is near public transport as well as shopping area. But the bed is terrible as our ribs were being poked by the spring of the mattress as we slept. Noted that the comforter is very old and dirty. During our entire stay at the 3rd level, no lift is available as we were told by the front office staff that the guest lift is under upgrading and the service lift is not working, tried with one female front office staff.

The elevators weren't working. The rooms were small. No Iron or Ironing Board. The Water from the bathroom above mine was coming through my ceiling. All in all.... Pretty Crap

The lifts didnt work. The bathroom was in need of repainting and removal of mildew from bath. However the staff were very helpful. The price of the accomodation was expensive because it was the same week as the Labour Party Conference but wasnt justified particularly because of the poor condition of the hotel.

To start with the lifts were out of order and we were staying on the fourth Floor and we were told this had been all week? The carpet in the room is very badly stained, the curtains were hanging of the curtain rail and the windows were very dirty. The Television was like some thing out of the Ark , and the bath itself was very very badly stained and needed resurfacing. The Jaccuzzi part of the bath was broken, we reprted it and the man came up and looked at it and said and I qoute, Yes, it is broken and left? There was no quilt on the bed only some clean sheets an old blanket and a top cover which was also badly stained. My overall impression is that I will never choose Brittania Hotels again as I was very badly let down and my guest for the night was also very upset with the room. I had booked a double on suite. I could have got alot better for alot cheaper else where in Manchester which as of now I will be doing plus also not reccommending you to any of my friends or my company.

Stayed at the hotel as we were going to a concert in Manchester travelled in on the train and we were struggling to get back in the same night, hence we decided to stay over. All we wanted really was a bed for the night. We booked an economy room which it turned out was on the 6th floor and the night we stayed the lifts were out of order. The room was okay for what we wanted and the hotel itself is in quite a good central location, we just felt that the whole place could do with a facelift.

Couldn't stop humming the theme tune to the shining every time i was walkin through the hotel.The interior design was exactly the same which was cool.Its a nice place.nice and central to town.would definately stay again.

After reading reviews I was slightly apprehensive, but our stay was very good. Excellent value for money and location in the city centre. The hotel lifts are currently out of service and the internet/e-mail service (extra cost) is a joke - avoid at all costs. Overall though, I would recommend for a 1/2 night break for young people.

We were first given an interior room with no windows. We asked about air-conditioning and were told that while there is A/C, we could also get an extra fan if it got too warm in the room. We asked for a room with a window, and a staff member who was very attentive was able to move us to another room with a window. The room was quite warm and we opened the window, only to be regaled by a wedding band on the floor below us, as well as traffic noise from a very busy street. The bed was extemely uncomfortable, and we were able to feel the springs inside the mattress. When we booked the hotel, the listing indicated a swimming pool and fitness center. When we went to use the pool, we were informed that there was a 2.50 pound charge per person. We told the attendant that the listing didn't mention a charge, and he said, "Yes, that's a common complaint by the hotel guests"." When we chedked in, we were told that the lifts were being refurbished. We were then told that we could use the service elevator, but when we went to this elevator, it was shut down for repairs!!

On arrival we parked up checked in reception staff were very nice. We asked for a smoking room. The room was small and basic but clean. If you are going to stay at this hotel request a window in your room as ours did not have one and reminded us of a dungeon. Overall thou this hotel is good for a one night stay.

Disappointing hotel. Lift was out of use until Aug so had to use the service lift to 5th floor which was dirty and did not work properly. An event was on and so floods of people were in the main reception which made it noisy and had to fight my way out. Breakfast was expensive for what it was and they couldn't figure out how to use the credit card machine in the restaurant for me to pay. Beds were hard and floors dirty - needed a clean. The TV had poor reception and no safe in room. It was fine for one night when I could not get a hotel elsewhere but better in Manchester for the same price. I question the star rating.

The location of the hotel was perfect and the room was nice, but we had no windows and lacked fresh air and didn't know the weather and day or night time. The customer lift didn't work, so we had to use the service lift, which was rather slow and sometimes we used stairs instead. The first day there was a wedding in the restaurant downstairs, so it was extremely noisy and we didn't sleep well. The beds were also not very comfortable. However, the staff was very nice and friendly.
