I've travelled extensively and was the GM for a very busy motel business. I've stayed at 1* through to 5* and the one thing I can say: There's zero excuse for being dirty. Even a 1* can be immaculate and be a 1* because it doesn't have a lot of services. I'm quite okay with no services, so long as it's clean. I've stayed at 5* where I've seen filth that doesn't belong anywhere. It's not the star rating that determines things, it's the cleanliness. There's zero excuse for it.
Agreed, I've been in a hotel that had no TV or WiFi in the rooms, no kettle, shared showers but they were clean because the staff cared. If the owner doesn't want to put any effort in why would the staff?
That first guy was such a tool, thought he was too good to bother with things like cleaning filth and felt that if it's cheap, guests should expect it to be dirty. The second one is hilarious. He doesn't want to overwork, so can't change a lightbulb. 😄
As a Winchester born and raised, FILO has always had a ‘dive bar’ reputation not to touch with a barge pole. You go there under no circumstances and it has changed hands quite a few times!
I live in Winchester and know of the First in Last out. It's at the moment currently closed due to no one willing to run the place. It wasn't too bad to have a drink in there mind.
I lived in a frat house for two years and none of our showers were growing that sort of monstrosity. Been in plenty of cheap hostels and airbnbs and i've never seen that.
As far as the mould in the bathroom goes a liberal spray of bleach will remove most of it. Further scrubbing once the majority it removed will deal with anything remaining, and regular maintenance thereafter will keep it clean. The proprietor's remarks about how cheap the place is in no way excuses neglect. It is a matter of hygiene. Anybody with a skerrick of decency would be rightfully appalled at the total lack of proactive cleaning the owner devotes to his establishment. He can wear a suit and think he's a hard headed businessman. But he makes a fool of himself putting his name to this dump.
Using bleach against mold is a terrible idea, better to use vinegar or specific solutions for combating mold. Often bleach will just end up feeding the mold and make it worse. Which makes your comment make even more sense and gives these people less of an excuse cos I'm pretty sure vinegar is cheaper than bleach lol.
@@fawnieee Yes, you are correct, and for the record I run a cleaning company. Had I written "just use white vinegar," as I've seen countless times all over, most if not all people will use the cheapest vinegar they can find. Naturally fermented white vinegar is required for mould removal, mixed to a ratio of 4 parts water to 1 part white vinegar. Mould removal is one my specialty services. However, considering the overall state of this property I still believe bleach is the first material I would use for an overall deep clean, which it sorely needs. The scum encrust on the vanities and elsewhere in the bathroom is of a density I rarely see. Were this my property I'd be using a straight solution of bleach on practically every surface and especially those in the wet rooms. Please know I am not trying to belittle you or the owner of the B&B.
No, they need to take a good long look at themselves. If they cannot understand the principle that a hotel room needs to be clean, they need to sell up. If they can’t be bothered to clean, they need to employ a cleaner.
The first one - the guy behind the bar seemed nice and eager to please, albeit pretty clueless. But that can also have to do with poor management. If he were snapped up by a proper hotelier and trained properly in hospitality, he could actually be an asset. The owner, however... yikes. All gussied up with a suit and tie but thinking the dirt is acceptable, which makes you wonder about his own self care. What I'd call nice from far but far from nice.
@@cheryl5994 It sounds like he has ONE part-time cleaner. That's clearly not enough, but there's not enough trade for him to be able to afford more staff.
I used to travel a lot with work and they put me in some sketchy hotels, I used to have a kit including a double sleeping bag, a space heater, wedges that I used to hammer into doors with no locks, a tarp and a few other small items. I always used the showeres in services as they were normally reasonably clean. One hotel had cables hanging out of the wall that sparked in the night which was not great to wake up to.
Instead of manning reception Mal just thought sitting behind the bar is much easier. They wonder why they go bust! 14:32 Mate stop, we believe you. You can’t be arsed
@@marsy1480 Think about it. Middle of the night you awake busting for a pee, you're in your scants and need to walk down a hallway to the loo, risking bumping into a stranger. Then you spy the sink in the corner of your room...you're going to piss in that, aren't you?🤣🤣🙈
I stayed in a pub hotel like these once in cornwall and it was terrible. There was black mold and they fucken painted the shower black to hide it or something but it was all behind the bedframe and it made me sick. The pub was full of all night noisy feckrs. Not a wink. I ran off.
The cheek of them when she leaves to not even apologise. (Unless that was edited out.) Like, Mal saying "I appreciate you telling me - I'm ok with it" when he should have been saying "I sincerely apologise for putting you up in a room that makes you so uncomfortable that you can't stay".
He hasn't got time to clean up 😅😊 Those walls are original under layers of coverage. The paint is probably led and poisonous especially if green colour Arsenic green . I wouldn't know where to start renovating it needs to be gutted and rebuilt tastefully. This requires investment management
5:27 Sorry, that’s a deal breaker. I am NOT dealing with a communal toilet and shower. Never ever never ever never ever ever never never ever ever never ever
Aww even though useless at his job, especially cleanung, the assistant manager jack of all trades fella in first story, seemed a gem, a clueless raw gem, but kinda endearing like a pug, but the boss is a jerk. The 2nd story with Auzzie owner is the worst I've ever seen, so disgusting, you didnt clean last nights mess at least?? The last man just seemed lost and genuinely only one who loves his business here. Maybe he has depression or something and can't see what's happened around him. Needs a good clean and an update, but that one i could see surviving
And the second moron can get away with charging 120 for that room, baring in mind this is probably 7/8 years ago when 120 is a ridiculous price and somehow he's in trouble😂😂
WTF is that Aussie saying, that the English drink more beer, how dare him, that is ONE of the few things that we come FIRST 🥇 in .😂 Noreen Readett Australia 🦘
Having lived in both countries… I’d say it was close. But in Australia there were drive through off licenses and byo.. i think they were more unhealthy with it
People who just doesn't care. I once stayed in a hotel that fits right in with these. It looked fine online but boy did these photos lie. Long story short: we called this place Hairy Beds & Rotten Milk. The bedsheets were covered in pubes and when I called to ask for new sheets I was told to eff off. Classeigh. But yeah, I don't think the sheets had been used for more than three or four months without being changed or washed so I guess they were still "good to go". And then in the morning when I was deperate to shower after a night in the nastiest bed I ever tried to sleep in, I had to climb on top of the toilet and turn the sink around for the shower to pop out of the wall. Craziest bathroom "design" ever, and followed by all breakfast where everything was either rotten or moldy. And yes, we also had "entertainment" during the night as some of the other guests had a nice little knife fight right outside of our room. It was like the universe was playing a game of "The 50 worst experiences in a hotel" an mixed them all to give us the Full Hotel Hell Experience. I looked it up a while ago and thankfully it seems to have closed. From what we could figure out it wasn't really intended for single night guests but was a long stay place for homeless people deep in addiction. However, I would argue that even if you are at rock bottom you deserve better than insanely dirty rooms and rotten food.
May i add that my mum is very well versed in hotels having worked from 1* hotels to 5* hotels, and in her whole time she has worked in hotels, she has never had a complaint about cleanliness, so this is not about '''oh you get what you pay for, like what more did you except from us? were giving you the cheapest room we have'' it does not matter the price of the room, all that is expected is a clean room...If you can't provide that then you should not even be in the business.
IT DOESN’T TAKE A GENIUS. KNOWING ALEX IS COMING, HER ROOM SHOULD BE IMMACULATE & READY AT LEAST 48 HOURS PRIOR. THEY WERE ALL BAD, BUT THE LAST PLACE WAS TRULY ABYSMAL, I CAN’T IMAGINE THE LIFE THAT’S LIVING IN THOSE CARPETS, NEVER MIND WHAT’S INSIDE OF THE MATTRESSES. . . EEEWWWW.
Clearly youve not spent much time here in the UK. There are plenty of decent, independent hotels etc if you look. I bet Germany also has its own terrible hotels and pubs that are just as bad.

Yes, you may be half the price of other places, but there is no excuse for filth. That's a basic requirement regardless how much you charge!!

People buying failing businesses and not changing anything makes no sense to me. I mean theyre failing for a reason and you dont see fit to change it?
People are stupid, and think they're better than the people buying it..that's all.

Sometimes, I wonder if these owners need glasses - when did they last get their eyes tested ‼️❓ There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for filth 😮
I love Alex and her sparkling smile and her dry put downs!
She's so cute!

Thats amazing honestly! No offense to frat boys but not really the cleanest bunch. That does make the growth even more horrible
@14:05 - "I know you get what you pay for, but do you have to really give people the worst possible experience for their money?" Preach!

Sinks in hotel rooms, you just know someone has pissed in them, and that's why I'd never use one 😅

What kind of name is First In Last Out? I'm familiar with the term, but not sure I see a hotel connection
It’s on the road out of Winchester. It’s the first pub you see coming in and the last one you see going out.
@stufour Thank you 😊
I thought it was first at the bar last out of the bar
@@effkay3691 So did I
Going by the standards of the place, it probably meant first in the toilet, last out 😂

Those walls are original under layers of coverage.

Your average entrepeneur really, its a byword for talentless
If you want to run a cheaper hotel and not lose money, limit the amenities, NOT the cleanliness!
Sadly, I have seen and stayed in much worse...some unmanned hotels so no one to even complain to!
Faulty Towers but real 😊
They all seem like guys who wanted to own a bar and unfortunately hotel rooms came with.
Cleanliness costs nothing .
Cleanliness does cost. It takes time and a certain amount of skill. It is, however, essential and, unfortunately, undervalued until it is lacking.
Her staff revisited the place, Alex knew exactly what she was in for,
That is not the same as actually seeing the mucky toilet pan & bathroom basins for herself.🤢The team probably said little so that she wasn't aware.

And shower with your shoes on because it's cleaner than touching the shower floor with bare skin.
