The Dirtiest Hotels in the UK!

Muban · 29-02-2008, 17:39

Just had this email from trip advisor. I am lucky enough never to have stayed in a really dodgy hotel. Sometimes they have been a bit basic and outdated but fortunately always clean! Going by the reviews these ones got I think I would have refused to pay and gone elsewhere.

* Nanford Guest House, Oxford, England

Is there anywhere that you have stayed that it was so bad you couldn't stay there?

* Britannia Country House Hotel, Manchester, England

stayed there and it was ok , was many years ago though, looks like it has really gone down the pan

I have also stayed at the Brittania in the centre of Mancheter, now that was a **** hole

Which one? There are two.

Actually, scrap that. I've stayed in both and they're both **** holes. The rooms were clean and functional enough I guess (I've stayed in them a total of three weeks so can't have been that bad), but the quality of the hotel - well, there wasn't any. The Britannia was just plain old and dingy. The Sachas was equally dingy, but also has internal rooms with no windows. To compensate for the lack of windows they painted night-time cityscapes on the walls. :/

Anyway. Three Britannias in the list. I can't say I'm surprised. They get prime locations and then screw them up. Just look at the Adelphi.

Britannia birmingham - omg that place is a DUMP
never stayed there, but had a couple of christmas parties there (most recently prob xmas 04 or 05), if the rooms are as bad as the public areas / food / entertainment i wouldn't stay there if you had paid me to *yuck*

Where did I say it was?

It's still a Britannia hotel though (or was, last time I checked).

The Europa doesn't surprise me at all, given where the staffing comes from (the nearby housing estate, to put it politely, doesn't have the best of reputations.)

Well the place I was staying at over the weekend evacuated the pool because someone had had an 'accident' in the kiddies area.

10 minutes in the sauna followed by the longest, hottest shower of my life and I think I'd just about removed the top two layers of my skin.
