EUROPES DIRTIEST HOTEL: Grosvenor, Blackpool

This Blackpool hotel has been named and shamed as the dirtiest hotel in Europe.

The decision was made by voters who had stayed at the hotel, and could leave reviews via website Trip Advisor.

After it was speculated about in the media i decided to take a look at the reviews myself.

Ratings were as low as 1 out of 5 and peoples comments and concerns were flooded with remarks like dirty rooms, unsafe electricity outlets and wiring, furniture falling apart, filthy windows, heating permanently on, noise pollution, unfriendly staff and alot more!

There were that many bad reviews, where a massive 31 out of 38 rated the hotel as terrible.

The hotel didn't seem to be doing itself any favours by having the numbers of the room written in biro on the doors, dated decor, stained mattresses and furniture that was falling apart.

Hotel owner Chirag Khajura who charges £25pp per night for his rooms, has tried to defend the bad reports by saying 'I wouldn't say this is a perfect hotel. We have issues. I have only had it 6 months and there are many improvements to make'

He then went on to say that the Trip Advisor reviews were malicious .

My questions are how is this hotel still in operation if it has received so many bad ratings? I am very surprised a health and safety inspector hasn't stepped in by now. Maybe they have by the time i have wrote this hopefully!

From the pictures shown here in the post taken by people who have stayed there, it leaves alot to be desired.
