"Can think of a few that I wouldn't let a stray dog sleep in.
What's been your worst hotel experiences good people?"
A hotel (Not a hostel) in Amsterdam. Got into the room and it looked more like storage area with chairs and stuff. We had to move stuff to make it livable. The elevator seemed to only have 3 sides and had bare brickwork.
The windows opened at like shin height so it was like having a balcony without the balcony and we were like 7 floors up. Not great while on salvia, mushrooms, and tequila. Friend nearly did fall out and would of landed in a closed courtyard full of broken furniture and trash |

India. A chipped pink clay room with no windows. No electric.
The loo down the hall was a hole in the floor which went into a tunnel where pigs could come in and sort out the waste!! Didn't care though, we thought it was hilarious at the time..young daft travellers otherwise engaged, too distracted with other things to care about the decor. Plus it cost less than a pound a night !  |

A "hotel" in Blackpool.
The door had been kicked in - the owner claimed by the previous guests, but a review from a year before said the same thing, the double bed had a bunk bed jammed against it as they were "refurbishing" the room it was from, the card machine had broken the week before, so we had to play cash - again, an old review said exactly the same thing.
Funnily enough we've not been back! |

Juno Lake, California, really old fashioned chalet lodge from the 60’s with a gas boiler/warm air heater in the bedroom! I was worried I wouldn’t ever wake up the next morning!
Thankfully I did! |

A place in the bush in Kenya was a little rough round the edges. Had a nap one afternoon and woke up to find a baboon staring at me from the doorway. Not sure who was most surprised. |

We stopped for a night in a place (won't call it a hotel cos it turned out to be as far from a hotel as you could get) in Birmingham whilst taking our daughter round uni interviews. The rooms had been split in half by shoddy stud walls, even the bathroom had been split. 'Breakfast' was diy toast in a back room that looked more like a storage room, fridge full of mould & eewwwwww god knows what else   at which point we decided our health was more important so went down the local greasy spoon for a fry up instead 
Made serious complaints to the website we booked it through & to the local Fire brigade. Got full refund & last we heard the place had been closed down for breaching mulitiple fire regs & H&S |

I went to one in the north of India where there was a moving thick black cloud over the building.
When I got to the entrance it was apparent the cloud was a mega- swarm of large locust / grasshopper creatures.
Each time I got inside the room, there'd be about 50 of them crawling on my back, that I'd have to brush off. They were also amphibious, and they'd fly out the toilet. ..Literally were everywhere.
The first night I slept with a spare sheet round my head, so they wouldn't climb in my ears or nostrils.
By the 3rd day though i didn't really care, amazingly..
There were also monkeys here too, not baboons as someone mentioned, but even bigger. They'd come in if you left the slightly door open, and take stuff from your room. |

"One in Paris that was a right dive. Had to argue to the receptionist as it wasn't what we'd booked. Had a less grubby nasty room instead. "
I stayed in a shit hotel in Paris opposite the national bibliotech, shared my cold showers with exposed electrical sockets |

Ok so I best make a contribution too. 2 really stick out 1 in Scarborough (very famous hotel) and didn't have a window but a painted on window
Second was from the same chain in Coventry. Had the smallest room possible with a window from the Tudor days that didn't close properly (mid winter)
Went to complain in the middle of the night and had to pass by a family having a full blown Jeremy Kyle show esk argument in the hallway with the mother dragging her children down the hallway in there PJ's whilst calling her partner all the names under the sun |
