Hotel Splendido
Enzyme writes, "what about awful hotels, B&Bs, or friends' houses where you've had no choice but to stay the night?"
What, the place in Oxford that had the mattresses encased in plastic (crinkly noises all night), the place in Blackpool where the night manager would drum to the music on his ipod on the corridor walls as he did his rounds, or the place in Lancaster where the two single beds(!) collapsed through metal fatigue?
Add your crappy hotel experiences to our list.

London, expensive and worthless
Never planned to be in London... but I hitchhiked through the tunnel from France into London (I amazed myself there). So, I was glad I found something at 22:00 at night.
But I got a noisy room in a hostel, shared with 3 others. Cold shower. A queue of at least 15 minutes for a single piece of dry toast in the morning. Pay extra for a croissant. Not what I'd expect in a modern city like London. And the price... 25 pounds/night.
Not the very worst, but surely one of the worst price/quality ratios.
