These British Hotel Rooms Are The Most Disgusting Thing You'll See Today

Food & Drink Editor

Britannia Hotels has been voted the worst hotel chain in Britain for the FOURTH year running. How bad could it be? Pretty bad as it turns out. ‘Check in’ via real guests’ tweets…

First, get settled in to your room…

Then head to one of their restaurants (hygiene score 0/5) for something to eat…

@mollierosebud @BritanniaLtd are full of sex workers and there pimps and the hotel staff know it but don’t do anything about it — Gaz Hughes (@GazHughes78) September 13, 2016

…while the helpful staff look after your every need.

…Yawn, time to turn in…

@BritanniaLtd you can’t charge over a hundred pounds and expect someone to sleep on this pic.twitter.com/xyq871xXf0 — Sarah-Jane Preece (@sarahjanepreece) June 3, 2013

…and enjoy something other than a chocolate on your pillow.

According to Which? magazine’s annual hotel survey, the firm came bottom for the fourth year running with a score of 44%. Customers said its properties were ‘ancient’, ‘very basic’ and ‘in need of updating’. Yet despite all this, the firm, which also owns Pontins holiday camp, has just doubled its profits for 2016. Finally, if you’d rather stay in quirky rather than dirty hotels, here’s our round up of some of the best in Britain.
