Hmm. A Few.
Sheraton Buenes Aries. Flight arrived very late at night, hotel was booked for the 8th, arriving at 2am - this was written on the booking.

Arrived to check in, the guy says This isn't the 8th, it's the 7th. Pointed out it is the 8th, just rather early, he said we were booked for the following night and would have to pay $250 if we wanted to stay. It's 2am, in a foreign city . . . what to do?

Mrs speaks Spanish, called for the manager, who turned up looking sleepy, tore him a new arsehole and we got our room as booked.

Kaliningrad, Russia - twin room, I put my case on the empty bed, checking out they charged me double as 'You used the second bed'. When I laughed the 6' 8" 'security' guy came and stood next to me to make sure I paid up.

Yemen, had a hotel room with only 3.5 walls. One of them had collapsed and left a 4' gap between the ceiling and the room next door, which was also occupied.

Lagos - leaking aircon unit, had about an inch of water on the floor for the whole time I stayed. Complained, nobody did a thing.

Beunos Aires, what did you expect from a bunch of dago monkeys?
Nice to see you actually posting a STORY for once btw.

I never had any problems with the Argies
but I can't say it's my favourite place I've ever been. BA was a bit of a dump last time I was there. Uruguay is way nicer, I think.

Actually I quite often post stories, if I have one.

But these are not 'stories' or even mildly interesting.
Just someone using the question as an excuse to 'mention' that they have 'travelled abroad' like some kind of exciting adventurer.

Stop being such a pleb.

Bit rich to call someone a pleb,
given how you're not able to even afford half decent hotels in really inexpensive parts of the world.

arrogant sob
Just because you arrive after midnight does mean you can avoid paying for being in the hotel for that night.

Hotel was well within its rights for charging you for the 7th. What else are they meant to do? Nobody else can use the room if you take it at 2am.
