    So im currently lying in a bed in a hotel basically been awake all night with guests roaring outside whilst making their way back to their rooms.

    Finally got asleep around 530, now the early morning breakfast crowd have started. Talking loud while walking by and the most annoying thing ever.

    Letting their hotel room doors slam when they leave their room!

    Wtf is wrong with people?

    Am i the only one that actually thinks of other guests when I'm staying in hotels, like not been loud or slamming doors?

    It's nearly in every hotel too I stay in, i hate people.

    Try and avoid staying in hotels that have a wedding on the same day...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,366 ✭✭✭stampydmonkey


    Always request top floor room away from stairwell and lifts...just pray the place doesnt burn down

    Stick to the 'boutique' hotels to avoid the wedding/stag/hen inconsiderate feckers out enjoying themselves for the night and then up early with a hure of a dry throat needing immediate lashings of tae and frys

    I now have kids running up and down the corridor screaming.

    Parents probably too hungover too care.

    Starting to think it's the only way to get a decent
    nights sleep when away working.

    Stay in a classier hotel with better guests.

    Stayed in a hotel in San Diego once where there was a lot of slapping and "you want more baby" in a big booming murican accent next door - either they were shooting a porno or else had watched too much of it

    Ear plugs op, annoying at first but you get used to them and they block out a lot of the background stuff.

    Yep good idea, I'll be trying them tonight!

    I have stayed in a hotel where the parents of kids sent the kids knocking on all the doors looking for paractamol for their hangovers!

    Worse hotel stay was when guests at a function kept setting off fire alarms at 3 am. To be fair to the hotel they did not charge anyone for that nights stay. I think they took the function organisers to court over it.

    If you are passing a DIY shop get them there. They normally have them for people who are working with drills etc.The foam ones are quite comfortable if you are not used to wearing ear plugs.

    They are also a hell of a lot cheaper than the ones in Pharmacies.

    Last time I was in an Irish hotel, I returned from my bathroom to find my wife trying to get a bloke out of our bed :eek:

    This is what happened.

    Wife's sister wedding in a rather nice hotel in Cavan.

    Either me or the wife dropped our hotel key card in the corridor, but as we had one each we don't know who was the guilty party.

    Mother an father in law going to there beds after doing family duties. Stumble across some random fella, locked, asleep in the corridor. Being the good Samaritans that they are, try and help the lad to his feet, telling him he cant sleep there etc. Then one of them spot our key card on the ground, assume it's your man's key card, help him to the room, open door and sent him on his way.

    Banjo here is using the toilet, drinking from mid afternoon to earthy morning will do that to you.

    Anyway, mid pee, I think I hear the wife stumbling, then mumbling and giving out about something, then I no longer think, I KNOW she's calling out my name, loudly.

    I finish my biz, leave bathroom, walk into room to hear the wife trying to tell some lad he's in the wrong room.

    It's then I spot him. Some lad, early thirties, one of these designer beards, lying face down on (not in) our bed at a 45degree angle across the bed snoring his head off.

    I started to shake the life out of him, but he was dead for the world.

    Managed to get him up with his arm over my shoulders, led him up the corridor a few rooms away from ours where I spotted an armchair, which I plopped him on to.

    He wasn't in the chair when we were going for breakfast.

    It could have turned out much worse.

    I think you can get the foam ones in Eason and the likes for about a euro. Sell them for people studying for exams afaik

    Obnoxious, inconsiderate dickheads are to be found at both ends of the social spectrum.

    Thats sounds a bit like a Christmas party at my old workplace. We got a really cheap deal to book out this small hotel as long as we did not mind a 21st party being on at the same time.

    The rooms were quite small and the twin bed were so close together that they touched and the locks on the doors were fairly useless. Two of the lads who were sharing a room woke to find this random guy waking up between them. He greeted them with 'goodmorning chapies', got up, used the bathroom and went off. The two lads were so stunned that neither of them reacted!

    I must admit, I used to be one of those people, but it wasn't intentional. I used to drink too much and had a terrible habit of walking out through the bedroom door, thinking I was entering the bathroom. I've regularly been locked out in the hallway, ball naked, banging on the door trying to wake my girlfriend. One time I couldn't wake her, and couldn't hold me bladder any longer. I had to hop up onto a window sill and piss out the window, four floors up. Absolutely horrendous behaviour.

    I used to travel loads for work and really cant say that Ive ever really had this issue as I stayed in decent hotels and tend to get end of corridor rooms.

    Once on holiday I had a school class of kids on a tour stay on my floor and it sucked but that was a cheap as chips hotel in Bratislava.

    so yea, book end of corridor rooms on the higher floors on the not road facing side. Be specific, send them an e-mail, Travelling noob :)

    Stay in hotels a lot for work in Dublin , most hotels good to keep a lid on things ...
    Weddings unlikely in Dublin hotels midweek but these down the country would be a problem but the worst room to be next door to is people hiring out rooms and doing drugs normally coke ...hotels should do more to stamp this out !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,417 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    The cnuts that walk out of their room at 07.30 and let the door slam behind them wreck my head, others shouting in the corridor also need a strip of duck tape, inconsiderate baxtards


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 374 ✭✭Jjiipp79


    There is nothing worse than this in a hotel. I make it my business when I book any hotel to find out:

    1. Is there a hotel wedding
    2. Is the wedding party staying

    If either of these questions are answered yes I look else where.

    I was in a hotel in cork and I had the baby with me, I asked for a very quite room because of this. About 4am there was a shouting match in out hall. Needless to say I paid only half of by bill and left.

    I know people have to party but I'll not stay there when they do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,667 ✭✭✭Frynge


    You can have the nicest, most considering and well meaning people in the country walk trough the front door of a hotel and turn into animals to such an extent that you wished you owned a dog shelter as it would be easier to deal with you guests.

    Why did you only pay half the bill i suppose it wasn't them shouting


  • Posts: 53,068 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Similar to banjo string, about ten years ago now. Was woken twice in the night by fire alarms being set off. But worse than that, I heard a key card in the door and woke by figured your man was just at the wrong door and would go away -which he did - only a few minutes later door opens and in falls this fella absolutely pissed and me in just my knickers. I got such a fright and shouted at him until he left, he was so confused. Turned out he thought that was his room, went to reception and said his key didn't work, and they just gave him a key without checking his room number :eek:

    Freaked me the Fcuk out that a hotel would do that, and have always put the chain thingy on the door every since.

    Tbh they guests that were drunk and shouting were down the wrong hall, was outta the control of the staff. And the staff were very nice.. In fairness their job at times like these is not the easiest.
