Dirtiest hotels named and shamed
TripAdvisor has exposed Europe’s 10 dirtiest hotels, based on the feedback and ratings on hotel cleanliness of millions of the site’s users.
The list of shame is dominated by just three destinations, with London, Amsterdam and Turkey’s Aegean coast collectively responsible for Europe’s 10 dirtiest hotels.
The two Turkish hotels top the list, followed by four properties each in London and Amsterdam.
“Despite the average overall rating for a property on TripAdvisor rising to four out of five, it is clear that a minority of hotels are still not delivering the minimum standard of experience travellers deserve, especially in relation to cleanliness” said TripAdvisor spokesperson Emma O’Boyle.
Club Aqua
The hotels deemed to be the filthiest of all are the Club Aqua, Gumbet, which one user described as "hell on earth" and the Altin Orfe Hotel, Icmeler of which one reviewer said "enter at your own risk".
Cromwell Crown
Four London hotels also made it on to the list of shame. These were the Cromwell Crown, the Cobigoe Hotel, the Park Hotel and the Blair Victoria & Tudor Inn Hotel
Amsterdam is home to four of Europe’s dirtiest hotels. Hotel de Lantaerne, Hotel y Boulevard, Hotel Manofa and Hotel The Globe came sixth, seventh, ninth and tenth respectively.
