Got To Love This ... Terrible Hotels

[joggerjayne]

Hotels are proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy.

And there are plenty of lists of "best this, best that, etc" hotels.

So here's an amusing list of the world's worst (but still expensive) hotels.

I had to laugh at the one in Turkey, where the pool fills with sewage when it rains, lol. They need a good Polish Plummer to sort that one out.

Happily, there are only two in England. Both in London, of course.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just bring him a copy of the yellow pages?
(or is that just too easy?) :-)

Too easy - this was Nigeria.

staying in a not cheap hotel in paris i was surprised to find not mould but fungi growing abundently in the shower. complaints eventually gave us a free room.

i reckon that many of London hotels are a rip off - friends have stayed in any number, badly decorated, beds small enough for someone vertically challenged, cold water instead of hot, not clean, i also remember many many years ago dating an American guy, who stayed in a plush central London hotel, not sure what its like now, but back then the cost was huge, and nothing about it spoke of elegance, fine living away from home, it was dire.

i stayed in one hotel in Greece, where the effluvia came up the shower plug hole, when you switched the water on to have a shower, i didn't stay long

Brown's Hotel, emmie? That's been renovated and is no longer a brown windsor soup establishment, I gather. That's the nearest so-called top tier place to what you described that I have experienced in London.

[emmie]

no not Brown's, this one was considered quite plush, it was some time ago,
when picking up the various friends, you see the accommodation and many of the rooms you couldn't swing the proverbial cat, with the then b/f, he paid a lot of money for a room no bigger than a broom cupboard, awful

A few years ago we used to stop at some digs in Leicester, 10 beds in a room with a Urinal fastened to the wall, that's what you call bad digs.

I love DTc's post @ 15.00, LOL.
