    we stayed in a fab place in Kilkenny one time, and had a room with a balcony. The pair in the room beside us sat out on their balcony drinking and (I bet a lot of coke) all night, until 8 in the morning, roaring the whole time. We got up later, did a lot of banging, turned on the tv as high as it would go and fooked off for breakfast

    My brother has the perfect solution against this kind of carry-on. Let's say for example you've got some @sswipe loudly abusing his ex in the corridor, thus stopping you from sleeping. Would you believe that a simple nunchuk to the knee (not yours!) is all it takes for you (and his ex) to sleep soundly? No harm no foul.

    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
    Indeed! I usually stay in a place that only has 3 rooms. I always know whether there's anything mad planned. Mad stuff is to be avoided unless you want to be part of it.















    I rarely leave my house.

    I've been known to bring a croissant or muffin away to eat for lunch. And wouldn't be too bothered about people eating big breakfasts. They might not do it all the time, they're on holidays. Maybe they want to eat a lot at the start of the day so as not to have to eat until dinner if they're touring around for the day. Anything that doesn't get eaten will be chucked out too, lots of waste.

    I knew I touched a nerve with that post :)

    You posted, a couple of people disagreed in a fairly calm, even manner. That doesn't really signify a touched nerve, especially as the people replying came right out and said they do something you disagree with. The smoking bit though, wtf? No touched nerve here on that, I don't smoke. I just think it's scrutinising other people's fairly innocuous behaviour to an odd degree. And I still don't see what's so bad about people indulging in big breakfasts on holiday.

    They are.

    Ignorant self centred arse holes is what I learned after this weekend.

    Who's judging now? You might want to practice what you preach. It was January and after snowing yet the pyjama brigade were outside puffing, hard not to notice.

    I don't think the last supper was a buffet, although it does look like a stag party in most depictions.


    Ha.Just had an image of jesus tied to a lamp post there.

    Just realising how we are probably the problem guests.
    There was one night we stayed in this hotel, had an amazing time almost the entire night, very vocal, probably some sound effects - whatever. Anyway, next morning, laying in bed and could hear a couple speaking French as clear as day, might as well have been in the room with us. They weren't yelling, just talking as you do. I still cringe when I think of that. Especially if they were old.

    Some people stay up late, some people get up early, some people are eating the breakfasts they paid for!! :eek:


    How do you special snowflakes cope in the real world?

    Ignant.

    There was someone saying on some thread, probably over a year ago now, that one night he was staying in a hotel with his girlfriend only to wake up to find her riding some random fella in the same bed.

    Hate it when that happens.

    I love staying in hotels but some people definitely have no consideration for other guests.

    I worked in a hotel as a summer/part time job in college cleaning the rooms, and the Irish guests were always by far the worst. And the ones with the families were generally pretty bad.

    Whenever I stay in a hotel I always make sure to gather all the used towels in the same place, put all rubbish in the big (or beside it if it won't all fit in the bin), and I often would strip the beds as well before I go. I know you could argue that one of the points of staying in a hotel is to get away from having to clean up after yourself, but I know I always appreciated it when I worked in that job, and I'd like to think it might make someone else's day a bit easier.

    Some guests though, I'd have just been happy if they hadn't left pubes all over the bath/used condoms in the bed/manky toilet bowls/dirty nappies not properly wrapped up in the bin etc!!!

    I'm usually a great, polite hotel guest, but once upon a time I was over visiting the then girlfriend who was on Erasmus who I'd not seen in 2 months and, being 22 and 18, we spent the entire weekend in the room - she'd even brought food so we wouldn't have to leave for that. On the day we were leaving, we were sitting in the lobby and I heard this old guy complaining at the hotel desk and the receptionist saying something about "des irlandais" and presumably pointed us out, as the guy then came over and started giving out stink to me - not that I had a notion what he was saying. Fortunately, his son, presumably, came over and pulled him away.
    If I could go back now, I wouldn't change a thing.
    In our defence, we had picked a hotel beside the airport in the hope that the rooms would be better sound-proofed.


    Last summer, I was staying in a rather crappy hotel in London, which was comprised of a few different houses along a terrace. I'd just brought my stuff into the room when this gorgeous, but drunk, eastern European lass arrived into my room dragging a suitcase, saying that she needed somewhere to stay the night. I put on my shoes and showed her to the reception in one of the houses down the road and went back to bed. Sigh.

    And what IS the deal with airline food?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 704 ✭✭✭lizzyman


    I think a lot of the blame rests with the hotels themselves. It's guaranteed that x% of guests are going to be inconsiderate assholes so I can never understand why they don't put dampers/spring loaded doors so they don't slam.

    Also, breakfasts that finish at 9.30am, hotels that ask you to tick a box on a piece of paper and leave it outside your room if you want a €5 croissant for breakfast and charge €10 per hour for a late check out all need to die in a fire.

    Don't even get me started on the fúckers that claim that all rooms have air conditioning until you actually arrive and they tell you sorry, the a/c is only switched on in July and August. Which is fine until you have a warm night in May, June or September and the room is roasting hot and you have to leave the window open and listen to the traffic outside all night.

    I always find the "HOUSEKEEPING!" people in the morning are much more annoying than any of the other guests...

    Stay in a better quality hotel. 4* min

    My Mam & Aunt were on holidays and staying at a hotel in New Orleans. They returned to their room to find a hotel porter in their room, wearing my Mam's nightdress and slippers. Watching porn on the tele.

    Just a few going ons.

    4 o clock next door came back, blaring music and shouting, security stopped it pretty quick in fairness informing them they had left their door open and everyone on the floor was woken.

    Had a kid running up and down at 7 roaring and that on the corridor.

    I am currently listening to someone clearing phlegm off their throat the last 10 minutes in the bathroom right next to my bed.

    Coughing it up with pig noises.


    Nice way to start my breakfast.

    Suppose not too bad, oh theres the kids again shouting, this time the parents think nothing of shouting too.
