Incredible to learn that a UK hotel has been awarded "dirtiest hotel" by online travel community Tripadvisor. Where is the dirty hotel? The seedy districts of Bangkok, Thailand, the slums of Mumbai? NO - leisure capital of England Blackpool - the Grosvenor Hotel in Blackpool, Lancashire is a dirty hotel!
You would have thought that the well travelled wanderlust types that contib
ute to travel blogs and travel reviews would have experienced far worse in far corners of the world.Remember the scene in the film The Beach with Leonardo Crapper when he first arrived in in Thailand and stayed at a backpackers hostel Bangkok - dirty dirty - before going on to discover the beach paradise (now ruined by over tourism)
Sad that the success of the film encourage many airlines to increase their flights to Thailand and gap year students suddenly incorporated flights to Bangkok on their round the world travels and these rough guide freespirits felt cheated if their hotels weren't dirty filthy causing diarrhea and sickness - two things that brings travellers together.
Oh Quit Editors note the Tripadviser award was for EUROPE's dirty hotel category so the dirty hotels of Bangkok can still be awarded this accolade.
