The WORST RATED Hotel In The UK? Grand Burstin Hotel - Folkestone

Editorial Summary

The creator visits the Grand Burstin Hotel in Folkestone to investigate its reputation following numerous negative online reviews. The tour begins with an inspection of the underground car park, which the creator describes as uninviting and grim. After checking into a standard twin room, the creator notes several issues including office-style ceiling tiles, a rusty mirror, and a very firm mattress that allows the springs to be felt. Despite these flaws, the creator finds the room to be acceptable and the view of the sea to be a positive aspect. Seeking a different experience, the creator pays an additional ten pounds to upgrade to a premier room with a balcony on the thirteenth floor. This room offers better amenities and a larger television, but the balcony itself is described as dirty, covered in cobwebs, and featuring broken furniture. The creator also explores the hotel's common areas, including a ballroom, a lounge with amusement machines, and a grand Victorian restaurant. The visit concludes with a cream tea in the lounge and a final assessment that while the hotel has grand architectural elements and some decent rooms, the balcony upgrade felt underwhelming due to the condition of the outdoor space.
