Hotel room nasties.....
Discussion
Years ago, i stayed at the hotel Jarvis in Bristol (i expect it's called something else now).
I was unlucky enough to get a room with an adjoining door, which meant that i could hear everything going on in the next room. That meant i got to listen to some bloke watching hotel porn, until the noise of that was interrupted by the hooker he'd managed to find.
After an hour of shagging (impressive, he got his moneys worth), i had to resort to banging on the door and telling them to shut up.
Worked for half an hour, before he had another go and continued on till 3am ish. Calls to receptions to complain were ignored as well.
Pretty poor nights sleep.

You lot have stayed in some upmarket places! I've stayed in plenty of crap hotels. I've been woken up by...
1. Cockroach crawling across my chest.
2. Bed bug bites.
3. A bloke stood in the room.
4. A bloke trying to kick down an adjoining room door.
The worst for comfort was one where the pillows were pillowcases stuffed with cardboard boxes.

Some of the complaints on here are a bit "first world problems" compared to some of the places I've stayed in....
In Turkey I didn't so much have an en suite bathroom as a shower cubicle in my room. Oddly enough the toilet & washbasin were down the end of the corridor.
Complete with electrics in the shower. Handy should I get an electric shock and need to cut the power.
Admittedly this was more of a hostel than a hotel in Uzbekistan but check out the bed nearest the camera. Ideal for a bit of wallpapering during the day when no-one's using it.
Indonesian bathroom complete with a trough of water of indeterminate age. Very hygenic.
But in keeping with some of the other complaints on the thread, I was most disappointed when staying at the Raffles in Singapore when they'd only stocked the treats cupboard with 5 out of 6 treats. I think it was jelly beans that were missing. I haven't been back since!
