Having travelled a fair bit with my job I've stayed in quite a few hotels
The worst has to be in Hungary.
Fortunately I only stayed one night, and even more fortunately, the job I was doing in our office in Hungary didn't finish until after 4am, and I got to the hotel just before 5am.
I checked in, and they asked me if I wanted an alarm call, and I asked for one at 7am (yes I checked in at 5am), and he looked at me odly, knowing that this would be only 2 hours sleep, "I have to get to the airport for a flight" I said.
In the room, there was a single bed. Facing the bed up against the wall was wardrobe, it was a really cheap shitty thing, made of chip board, and the sort you would buy from a charity shop, split wood and coming off the hinges slightly.
The doors wouldn't fully open because it was too close to the bed, barely enough room to stand between the wardrobe and the bed. The bed didn't look as if it had been changed since the last person had slept in it, sheets all ruffled and dirty looking.
The cost of the taxi fare from the office to the 'hotel' was more than the cost of the hotel. I think after the exchange rate it worked out to about £25-£30 for the one night 2 hours that I stayed there.

Hungary
I went to Budapest during the Summer, I stayed in what was practically a Jewish place, it was very nice.

The Budapesters, however... oh dear god, they resent tourists worse than the Welsh do! "How dare you come here and give us your money, it's a disgrace, I hate you!"

No wonder the Romanians didn't like them...
