I've watched this for the 2nd time now just incase I was too hypercritical the 1st time. Actually made me cringe more and now I don't care but will never sleep in anything but clean, white sheets, no amells or visible mould. Thanks Alex...❤
The wife is horrible, intolerable, ruse, ignorant and without any taste or ideas about running a hotel! The husband is more than a Saint. She's probably jealous of Alex's intelligence, expertise, brightness and good looks. Tha wife is childish and ridiculous. In fact she's vile and doesn't deserve a patient husband and the help provided. One meeting with her would be the only meeting. Hope they got rid of the stench. Bold AND tacky taste. Plastic flowers are also not environmentally friendly. Howzat?
They look nothing like the original Egyptians. For me to have to see the ancestral deception and disrespect is more than I can stand. Deliberate washout of the native caste image over there. These are lower level European invaders who plotted, pillaged, schemed, married, bred and convinced their way into the original Egyptian populace, created mixed race on purpose to interfere, stole that empire and now have the nerve to abandon what they invaded, fleeing from the corruption they caused in Egypt, with intent to try to lower the beautiful value of Britain's hospitality market and all that it has to offer. I urge all British nationals who are sick of these shady and tacky Arabic speakers-- to have Parliament seize their assets and deport ALL them. Including that mayor you guys had. They are ugly, unstylish and hideous. And keep them out of the United States, the whole of North America, no more ugly white Egyptians over here. They are full of themselves and the women think they are prettier than they actually are but don't like to clean!! Shut them down!!! They are owed nothing in the entire West!!!
This wife has the mentality of a 13 year old!! The dump shouldn't be allowed to SPEAK to people let alone run a hotel! MARY couldn't keep a job cleaning pet cages!!!😡
If you knew what the customers liked and were right about that - you'd probably had full occupancy and raving reviews on your business! So in that wisdom you can probably also tell as to why the business is failing if not the overall shabbiness and dodgy over the top flamboyant decor. And if the problem was so obvious at hand, why don't you act on it to seek improvement (yourself)? Delusion will not help here. This is not your private sitting room that you can paint the way you like and fill with all kinds of knick knacks. You have to create a neutral style where guests can relax and not be smothered by your personal flamboyant style being that's being forced onto them.
What an absolute nightmare that woman is, I bet she rules her poor husband with an iron rod too. I could absolutely not work with such an ignorant, misguided woman and would have walked out the minute she started being rude. I’m not surprised this place closed with her and her ridiculous ideas behind it.
These ridiculous owners are BEYOND toxic to listen to and they have no business working with the public... added to the fact that place has the ugliest interior decor I have ever sen and it is soooo filthy too!
Make sure the rooms are clean by 2pm. Do everything in the front in the morning. It's not rocket science. Alway keep the backyard always clean. You're place is disgusting. Get it done.😢
I would have suggestions. A full English available for breakfast is essential. Turn the outside into a covered beer garden, with a barbeque. Have at least one night a week a barbeque night. See if there is a specialist ale company somewhere. There could be an opportunity to taste a new type of ale. Lay furniture out so everyone can chat and have a laugh with everyone else. I would keep the décor fresh and simple, but make it more warm and homey. It was too clinical, and canteen-like. I don't know the space that is available, but a breakfast/supper room should have white cotton tablecloths on, like they did back in the day. In the evening, when the guys get in from work, make a good, English dinner available. Not posh chef stuff, but a quality bit of home cooking. Pudding with custard. They should all be able to sit together. These men love real home baking so make something available. The social room should be separate. The footie-thing was a genius idea. Same furniture layout idea. Put in a dart board and a pool table. Have packs of cards, checkers and other games available. The expert said the men wanted a "home from home." This was largely overlooked. He wasn't that pleased, but we weren't told the reasons why. To run a place for this clientele, a warm welcome is essential. Touches like remembering names and providing good home cooking/baking, and an opportunity to relax and chill with their workmates in the evening would be be so popular they won't want to go home.
A Pattern that I have seen is that the people who need help vs the ones helping then is that those needing help are overweight.. In my experience, people with several people. I have found that they are not able to change. Just wondering...Anybody else seeing this?
these 2 owners are really lazy. arguably bone dead lazy. did this place go bust? surely it did. one of the worst of a bad lot. lazy. no passion. no energy. no interest. no desire to improve. skirting the issues. everything is old and broken and dilapidated. rubbish. pathetic. should be condemned..
The lady hotelier has a taste level of a carnival worker…The dining room have colors you’d put in a little girls playhouse…I know that they have faced many things..But, She, herself, Seems impossible to deal with…
A terrible pickle is an understatement! Funny…we give Alex the sheesha, make her go high!! The terracotta is way tooooooo much. The wife is funny too but, big power struggle …I use my muscles you see?…..Lol you got to find something funny. Sometimes, nothing is funny.
The best advice for hotel owners is......to visit and stay in many other hotels for a couple of months and afterwards asking for advice to the owners of the best ones.....if you are capable to distinguish the difference. If you do not, than do not start working in that business. She, the co owner is not fair by a long shot. Somehow I do not believe her motives, her stories, nor her motivation. My first feeling is she is a profiteer and a liar.
Hmm... I guess they didn't learn anything. Reviews on Tripadvisor (most recent review 2020) - this place sounds horrible. Their website shows the exact same decor as shown in this episode... 8 years later 🙄 I'm frugal and even I change the bedding up before that!! Yuck. Not for me
I could never understand the people on this programme, they have the benefit of a highly successful hotelier to help their revolting and failing hotel succeed and they shout at her and think they know best. IDIOTIC !!!
What I find particularly obnoxious is the attitude of these two. They don’t give a hoot for anyone or anything. This is the U.K. If you want to run a fourth-rate dump, go back to Egypt where that sort of establishment is par for the course. The Health Department should close them down.
Many of these folks need to remember that the hotel is not there to please them. It only exists to bring in customers and please them enough to make some money and give the owner life.

Poor bloke stuck being married to a child…

Creaking door-hinges are silenced with Vaseline. I never go on budget holidays without it!
Mary seemed a bit jelly of Alex.😆

I feel so sorry for the couple that got the room with the LOVE Rose petals. Talk about add insult to injury 😂
That women was totally gross
It needed to be gone..rooms were as ugly as that women...i would of just left....
@22:30 and she's HAPPY with THAT concept, "Ms. Complaint"????? From where did she get that (unjustified) ego?!

That poor man.
When I owned a B & B contractors were my bread and butter. Regular business
Dreadful hotel.
If he dies, who’s going to look after me? Nobody dear, nobody!!
Recognise her from somewhere, cannot place it? Probably this programme?

Them legs tho 😍
Haha what were they doing standing there having a coffee while Alex was waiting

Just leave them
i would have walked away
That women is so rude. If I was Alex,I would have left and let them both get in with it.
Mary's attitude makes me hope she has to live on the street.
Two idiots.
I don't understand how this couple can claim to be working 24/7 when their rooms and their restaurant were both empty.
The wife is a horrid woman with the emotional maturity of a 5 year old. The poor husband.
A terrible pickle is an understatement! Funny…we give Alex the sheesha, make her go high!! The terracotta is way tooooooo much. The wife is funny too but, big power struggle …I use my muscles you see?…..Lol you got to find something funny. Sometimes, nothing is funny.
Not sure iif it's even still open but the most recent reviews have all been really terrible. These two learned nothing. Lazy, dirty and rude.
The woman has the emotional maturity of a 14 year old, and the decorating taste of an 7 year old.
that's really an insult to both 14 and 7 year olds. How many 7 year olds stick a box of tissues on the side of a wall lol
The husband deserves a bloody medal…darling!
The best advice for hotel owners is......to visit and stay in many other hotels for a couple of months and afterwards asking for advice to the owners of the best ones.....if you are capable to distinguish the difference.

Wow, that Mary woman is vile. I can't believe Alex helped them. She should have walked away. Makes you wonder which ones she does walk away from.
ALEX, ALEX, ALEX...HOW DO DEAL WITH THE IGNORANCE, HE IS OK BUT THAT MARY IS BOGAN...
Hmm... I guess they didn't learn anything. Reviews on Tripadvisor (most recent review 2020) - this place sounds horrible. Their website shows the exact same decor as shown in this episode... 8 years later 🙄 I'm frugal and even I change the bedding up before that!! Yuck. Not for me

What does the backyard look like?
They are both dumb, the woman is perhaps even more stupid.
This couple need their own youTube channel 🙂
I think we'd all have been driven mad after one episode of Mary angling for a fight after every single suggestion made to her
She is horrific that woman. Let them fail and fail big and watch their Egyptian arrogance go down the pan.
What I find particularly obnoxious is the attitude of these two. They don’t give a hoot for anyone or anything. This is the U.K. If you want to run a fourth-rate dump, go back to Egypt where that sort of establishment is par for the course. The Health Department should close them down.
Mary needs to live in a tent in the 🏜️ desert. Sitting on a rug on the floor. With a camel parked outside. Then maybe she'll appreciate Alex.
The wife says her husband has a heart condition. I wonder why 🧐?
I think we know why. Wife from hell.
Many of these folks need to remember that the hotel is not there to please them. It only exists to bring in customers and please them enough to make some money and give the owner life.
