Hotels are expected to provide a certain standard of service to paying guests – but one hotel chain has continued to disappoint for six years in a row.

Britannia Hotels has been named as the worst UK hotel chain in new research by Which? Travel.

The chain – which has 105 hotel –  has ranked bottom place for the sixth consecutive year and received a  very low customer score of 35 per cent.

Britannia’s poor customer service, shabby rooms and bad food have been complained about by nearly a quarter of guests.

It received one star in most categories and just two stars for average price paid, bed comfort and customer service.

A one-star rating signifies “a sub-standard hotel well below average in its category,” while two stars means “an adequate hotel that has room for improvement.”

The terms “old,” “shabby” and “outdated” were repeatedly used to describe the chain when guests were asked to describe how they found their stay with Britannia Hotels.

One guest went as far as to describe the hotel they stayed in as a “filthy hovel,” while another advised not to bother and to “find somewhere else.”

The hotel’s website promises to offer “character and style” but photos taken by a Which? investigator show crayon on the bedroom walls, stained carpets and grubby towels.

The communal areas were just as bad, with gaffer-taped rips in an armchair and some chewing gum stuck to a bannister.

A whopping 42 per cent of guests who stayed with Britannia had a problem with their stay.

In fact, nearly one in four guests had made an official complaint to the hotel compared to the average of less than one in 10 and only two per cent of people who had stayed at a Wetherspoon Hotel (which received a 71 per cent customer score).

Most complaints surrounding stays at Britannia related to poor customer service (41 per cent) and poor quality of rooms (41 per cent), followed by cleanliness (32 per cent) and quality of food (27 per cent).

To make matters worse, most guests (71 per cent) who made an official complaint to Britannia were dissatisfied with the outcome.

Express.co.uk has contacted Britannia Hotels for comment on their low ranking.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, the best hotel chain in the UK was revealed to be Premier Inn.

Premier Inn garnered a 79 per cent customer score and won top place for the fourth year in a row.

Guests rated the chain five stars for cleanliness, the comfort of its beds and customer service. In fact, it was hard to find a guest review that did not describe their stay as “excellent.”

Simon Jones, Managing Director Premier Inn and Restaurants commented: “At Premier Inn we welcome thousands of guests through our doors every day and so we are delighted and overwhelmingly proud that Which? readers have chosen us as their number one for the fourth year running.

“Our thanks go to all the readers who rated us so highly, but also to the people who we wouldn’t be able to do this without, our thousands of team members across every one of our hotels and restaurants. Whether they are responsible for the spotless rooms, ensuring our beds are the most comfortable, cooking up one of our famous breakfasts, or just a friendly, welcoming smile at the end of a long day.”

Hilton: Garden Inn came in second place with a 77 per cent customer score and Fuller’s Hotels were in third with 75 per cent.

Rory Boland, Which? Travel editor, said: “Britannia has superb locations, fabulous buildings – but terrible hotels. Guests looking for a safe bet, with no nasty surprises, should opt for a no-nonsense option like Premier Inn.

“Anyone looking for a cheap and cheerful hotel could do worse than booking a stay at a Wetherspoon – complete with an added bonus of only a staircase separating you and your bed after a slap-up meal and a glass or two of wine.”

Guests have also been warned about the dangers of using the coffee machine in a hotel bedroom as they could make customers very sick indeed.

  • The Plaza in New York is one of the most famous and luxurious hotels in the world.
  • We stayed at The Plaza Hotel recently to see if it still lives up to the hype.
  • While the regal charm and luxury of the hotel is undeniable, it could use some tweaks for the modern age, including free wireless internet and better in-room entertainment.

It is no exaggeration to say that The Plaza in Midtown Manhattan is New York’s most iconic hotel. When it was opened in 1907, newspapers reportedly declared it “the greatest hotel in the world.“

Since, it has played host to New York’s ultra wealthy, from the scions of the Vanderbilt and Kennedy families to American artists and socialites F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Ambassadors, princesses, and actors and actresses have all called The Plaza home at one point or another.

It first became etched in the American cultural imagination in Fitzgerald’s seminal novel “The Great Gatsby” and since has been featured in countless films, television shows, and literature. More recently, it was featured in “Home Alone 2: Lost In New York” and “American Hustle.”

President Donald Trump once owned the hotel for a time, purchasing it in 1988 for $ 390 million —around $ 807 million in 2017 dollars.

In an open letter to New York Magazine, he famously declared, “I haven’t purchased a building, I have purchased a masterpiece – the Mona Lisa. For the first time in my life, I have knowingly made a deal that was not economic – for I can never justify the price I paid, no matter how successful the Plaza becomes.”

The hotel has passed through many owners throughout its 100+ year history. We stayed at the hotel recently to see if it still retains the regal charm for which it has always we been known.

The Plaza Hotel is located in midtown Manhattan at the southeast end of Central Park, near Grand Army Plaza. The location is unbeatable for that classic ritzy uptown feel.

The Plaza Hotel was built by financier Bernhard Beinecke, hotelier Fred Sterry, and Harry S. Black and opened in 1907. It actually replaced a 15-year-old hotel of the same name on the site, which was open from 1890 to around 1905.

The entrance is wrought in golds, blacks, and whites. This is not the original entrance of the building — that is on Fifth Avenue. In 2008, the hotel reopened after a $ 400 million renovation that split the building into a 282-room hotel and 152 condominiums.

  • A hostel can be a great place to stay on your travels.
  • But it’s hard to choose a good hostel before you arrive.
  • A traveler who’s stayed in nearly 100 hostels, and worked in one, explains how to tell if the hostel you chose is safe, clean, and a good place to stay — or not.

For millions of travelers, hostels are the preferred choice of lodging.

The benefits are obvious: Hostels are generally inexpensive, conveniently located, and a great way to meet other travelers and share recommendations. As long as you don’t mind sharing a bedroom and bathroom, they’re the perfect place to stay when you’re on vacation.

But hostels can range widely in quality. I would know — I’ve stayed in close to 100 hostels on four continents, from an uber-fancy, palace-like hostel in Paris to a $ 1-a-night gem in Hanoi, Vietnam. I even spent one summer working at a hostel in New York City.

While most hostel experiences went off without a hitch, I’ve also learned the red flags that scream “avoid this place.”

Here are nine red flags to watch out for before you unpack your suitcase:

The hostel has a different name or address than it does on the website

It’s a huge red flag if you show up to your hostel and find it operates under a different name than the one listed online.

The same thing goes if you make your booking online, only to receive an email instructing you to go to a different address than the one listed.

Both of those things could be an indicator that the hostel isn’t actually a legitimate business, and is trying to skirt authorities by concealing its name and location.

The location seems sketchy

Safety is the most important factor in choosing a hostel, and you shouldn’t settle for a hostel in a sketchy neighborhood just to save a few bucks.

When you arrive to check in, it’s not a bad idea to explore the neighborhood surrounding the hostel to make sure it’s in a a well-lit, high-trafficked area. If you are getting bad vibes from the area, there’s no shame in switching hostels.

It’s important for hostels to secure their entrances in some way, like requiring a key to get in or having guests buzz a doorbell from outside the front gate. Bonus points if there are security cameras outside the front door and in the reception area. The hostel I worked at required guests to enter a combination on a push-button lock to enter the lobby.

Even in good neighborhoods, hostels can be lucrative targets for criminals, and your hostel should take precautions to ensure the safety of its guests.

Every year, Republican members of Congress and their staffers convene for a three-day retreat — away from the hubbub of Washington — to socialize and discuss their party’s agenda.

On Wednesday, GOP lawmakers traveled to this year’s venue: The Greenbrier, a luxury resort in West Virginia, established during the 18th century, that has hosted US presidents and features an underground bunker where Congress was supposed to hideout in the event of a nuclear outbreak during the Cold War.

Take a look at what it’s like inside this beautiful resort:

The Greenbrier is a large resort complex located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and includes a hotel, casino, golf course, and private residences.

The hotel was built in 1858. During the Civil War, Union and Confederate forces used the hotel grounds as a hospital and military headquarters.

During World War II, the hotel briefly served as a detention center for diplomats of enemy countries, including Germany and Japan. It also served as a hospital to treat wounded American soldiers.

Legends CrisisPART 4 | Aboard the Waverider, Stein and Jefferson’s fates remain tethered to one another, and Gideon is unable to remedy the situation. Meanwhile at S.T.A.R. Labs, Eobard Thawne has been using fabricated red sun rays to soften Kara up, so that she can be cut into and donate her heart to withering Overgirl. Unbeknownst to them, Felicity and Iris have been scampering around the air ducts McClane-style, unable to free the pipelined heroes but able to get an alert out to the Legends. And though the ladies get captured, later, just as Thawne puts scalpel to skin, he meets unexpected resistance — in the form of a miniaturized Atom! [And the crowd cheers.] Ray sizes up and KO’s the baddies, while Nate, Amaya and Zari go about freeing Cisco, Caitlin et al from the pipeline. That opens the door for a terrific team-up against Metallo, with rays/blasts attacking the robot from all directions. Meanwhile, a standoff between Oliver (with Kara-X at knifepoint) and Oliver-X (aiming an arrow at Felicity) is quickly ended when Dark Flash shows up to whisk away his cohorts.

Kara-X was loaded onto the Evil Waverider, where her deteriorating state put her at risk of exploding, which would not be a good thing for anyone, anywhere. Our Waverider in turn gave chase, piloted by Cisco, though its options were limited until the baddies’ shields could be shut down. To that end, Killer Frost created an ice ramp for her, Vixen and Zari to ride up and into, and seize control of, the Evil Waverider. Cisco then turned his controls over to Harry, so that he could breach the ladies back before the enemy ship went kaboom. Amid all this, Kara invited Overgirl into the sky for a fight. But when Kara-X headed toward countdown mode, Supergirl flew her up, up and away to safely explode.

On the ground, Oliver-X paused his tussle with Green Arrow to look to the sky and gasp in horror at his wife’s fate, allowing Oliver to put an arrow in the heart. Barry gained the upper, vibrating hand against Thawne, only to let his nemesis get away. Kara, KO’d by her doppelganger’s explosion, plummeted to the ground, but was safely caught by Steel.
