I Stay In The Worst Rated Hotel In London

Editorial Summary

The creator visits the International Hotel in London to investigate its reputation for poor reviews involving pests and cleanliness. After booking a basic room, the creator is upgraded to the sixth floor, where they find a dated room featuring peeling wallpaper, chipped furniture, and an extremely hard mattress. While the bathroom and amenities like the kettle are clean, the creator notes issues with soundproofing and noise from nearby construction. An exploration of the hotel's basement reveals a starkly different environment characterized by flooding, grim carpets, and a labyrinthine layout that feels spooky. In contrast, the upper floors and lobby appear to be undergoing significant renovations, with new paint and a strong fragrance from air fresheners to mask previous issues. The creator concludes that while the basement areas remain in poor condition, the majority of the hotel has been upgraded. Despite the uncomfortable bed and dated decor, the creator expresses a willingness to stay there again due to the overall improvements and cleanliness of the renovated sections.
