00:00Is this the worst reviewed hotel in all of Manchester?
00:03Behind me guys is Satchers.
00:05Now every review I'm seeing at this place is telling me to avoid it at all costs.
00:09But tonight this is exactly where we're staying.
00:13This area is a bit smelly.
00:15But I paid I think £35 for a double windowless room to date in Satchers.
00:21Let's go and have a look.
00:22Alright, first impressions.
00:27It's a nice place.
00:30Hey my man, you okay?
00:32It's nice here, isn't it?
00:34Yeah.
00:35Oh, it looks pretty basic.
00:37Looks like any kind of Britannia.
00:39You have a fridge machine.
00:41A fridge machine.
00:42Receptionist said to me,
00:43you have a room, you have a double room with no windows.
00:46Would you like to upgrade?
00:48And I said, no, I'll keep that room.
00:50She says, okay.
00:51And then two minutes later, she passes me this card and says,
00:55you have a free upgrade.
00:56You're on room five.
00:58So I mean, floor five.
01:00So that's where we are right now.
01:10Well, first impressions on this place is not bad whatsoever.
01:17You have a little coffee station there.
01:19This is as light as it goes, I'm afraid.
01:21One moment.
01:22No, this is as light as it goes.
01:24Little coffee station here.
01:27Seat there.
01:28I don't know what that is.
01:30A little bit rough around the edges.
01:34So the carpet is a little bit scruffy.
01:40But nothing out of the ordinary.
01:42Let's check out the bed.
01:43And we will be using this UV light on the bed later on.
01:48But it smells fresh.
01:51And it looks to an extent.
01:55Fresh-ish.
01:58It's definitely clean.
01:59Definitely been cleaned.
02:01So this is just the standard bed sheet and pillowcase.
02:08Oh, that's horrible.
02:13That's not very nice.
02:15Let's get the sheet off for once.
02:17And have a little look at the mattress itself.
02:20It looks cheap.
02:22I can't lie.
02:23It looks quite cheap.
02:24But nothing standing out to being particularly dirty or stained.
02:35Right, this place is honestly quite nice again.
02:39So they've tried to modern it up a little bit with these walls, I think.
02:44The shower curtain looks brand new, to be fair.
02:48It's a little bit dirty in here, as you can see.
02:51Rusty.
02:51You know, little things like that.
02:54Toilet.
03:03Here's the bath.
03:06It looks like there's a couple scratches in here.
03:09Like a dog or a cat or something were brought in with their owner.
03:14But as far as I'm aware, there's no pets allowed.
03:18There's no pets allowed.
03:19There's no pets allowed.
03:21This place has not been so bad.
03:22I haven't had the two.
03:24I haven't had the windowless room yet.
03:27And definitely haven't had the experience that some people have had on TripAdvisor.
03:31But a relatively clean hotel for what you're paying.
03:38The service, the staff, fantastic.
03:41Smiling.
03:42Gotta say shout out to the security guard.
03:44And that was Sacha's Hotel.
