Worst hotel bathroom

The topic about ideal hotel bathrooms made me think of the worst one we’ve ever seen too.

Ours was in a hotel in Krakow about ten years ago. We had long planned to visit the city encouraged by a Polish friend who had been expelled from her home there under the communist regime. I had initially booked the Holiday Inn thinking it would be a good bet out of what was available which at the time was far less than now.

Our friend was horrified that we were not choosing a Polish hotel and at her suggestion we rebooked the one of her choosing. I first had a sense of foreboding when the day before we left she told me with great enthusiasm that it was ‘just round the corner from where you get the bus to Auschwitz’.

We arrived and were shown to one of the best rooms in the hotel which was nicely furnished but overlooking a main road and noisy. The bathroom however had to be seen to be believed. If you sat on the loo, you couldn’t close the door, equally, stood at the basin you couldn’t shut the door either. The shower had the smallest head I’ve ever seen and it dribbled luke warm water with no variation in temperature. There were towels so thin that you could see through them and soap and shampoo that had yet to generate a lather.

We stuck it out, the staff were friendly and the location was OK though we didn’t make the bus journey from round the corner.

I don’t think there was a second that even came close to this hotel. We might go back to Krakow one day, it was certainly interesting with much to see and do but the next time we will stay somewhere else!

I had the worst bathroom at Ramada Colombo Airport. The drainage was blocked. As I was sharing room with 2 other friends, the last person took shower actually had to stand in the dirty water. I found it disgusting and unacceptable. However as we were there only for a few hours for transitting, we didn’t ask for another room change. The previous room they gave us hadn’t been cleaned at all. I am reluctant to stay at Ramada properties since then.

dirty bath, bare concrete floor with a foul rug thrown over, Mould all around the bath, broken toilet seat and bare wires hanging out the wall…needless to stay I stayed in the room for 1 hour while I hurriedly found another hotel!

Unfortunately and undoubtebly, London hotels lead this list.
Refurbished decades ago, offering cheap amenities at fees comparing with Moscow and far above Paris, Tokyo and similar

I’d like to add “just not good enough” bathrooms. I am astonished at the number of hotels that apparently never de-scale the shower heads, and check that they are working, and that do not check that washbasins, baths, and shower pans drain properly.

Worst? – just too many to choose from……

Any bathroom with roaches. Not only do they terrify me, they are so quick and difficult to exterminate. Where do they come from, that’s what I want to know?

BA4ever, I sympathise with your experiences loo-wise in Kythnos but the photos of beaches are breathtaking.

Was going to start a topic entitled “What is the bloody point”, but remembered this thread!

Woke up this morning in the lovely Sandman Hotel in Newcastle and I only have myself to blame due to a particularly wild weekend involving pints of Best, lashings of Sangria , followed by quite a few nips of Vodka, and finally finishing off with a bottle of Rose on the train last night!

Stumbled into the Shower room this morning , to find a complex array of bewildering knobs and switches, unfortunately for me, and in particular my heart……the switch I elected to adjust resulted in a scything blast at waist height of freezing cold water !!!, jumping head first into the Tyne would have been a preferable option.

My question to all of you out there is , would anyone elect to have the equivalent of a supersonic water pistol aimed at your genitals at 7.53 in the morning???

And if so …Why ?

“What is the point” of this mad design ?
