    Therefore it continues and these toe rags get away with it each and everytime. Until people complain, and on a large scale, it won't change! Hotels will still get a full rate and don't have to give discounted stays / refunds to legit complaints.

    Won't change until it hits the wallet of the hotel owners and they'll have to fully implement hotel policy.

    Trust me, people complain.

    Reminds me of a night in an Ibis in Paris a few years back. I was in a sort of semi waking booze coma in my own room and from around 2am til it seemed like breakfast, these ridiculously loud bitches were coming and going from a few rooms nearby. Mostly Spanish and mostly wailing at the tops of their voice. Some people just love being utter cúnts when they get drunk.

    I complained last year, as did other guests, when we were kept awake til all hours by a loud ignorant wedding party. The receptionist just kept saying 'yes I know, but you see there was a wedding on'.
    I think weddings have become such extravagant lavish affairs that hotels make a fortune on them and don't really give a damn about the ordinary joe soaps staying in the hotel the same weekend.
    Oh, and when we were checking in to that hotel all guests were being asked to pay up front because 'we're very busy this weekend'. It was a meaningless reason but it was obvious, in hindsight, that the hotel were anticipating a very noisy night and wanted to stop people looking for reductions on their bill.

    Was once at a hotel in Sligo and woke up in the morning to find a glass panel had been kicked in on the front door at some point during the night. Apparently some woman's husband had taken umbridge to her deciding to stay with a guest at a wedding held there that night. Our friend was staying on the ground floor in a room with her two young teenagers who heard the whole soap opera so not very amusing.

    Another hotel I stayed in in Cork apparently have a policy of "testing their fire alarm" every Saturday or Sunday at about 10am. Very well known hotel, a lot of weddings held there.

    When we got married the absolute heifer in the births deaths and marriages office told us that she'd attended a wedding at our venue and apparently they were very nice about half pi$$ed up guests from the day before hanging around in the reception and bar areas well past checkout time, almost put us off getting married there.

    Weddings are really ridiculous in Ireland, once you've been to one or two you've been to all of them. They've also become increasingly disgusting in the amounts of alcohol consumed over the years. I avoid them whenever I can now and skip the bar extension.
    As is evident in the post you quoted friend.In my own experience Dubliners have a much better sense of decorum when visiting hotels.The country chaps will be just as noisy as the dubs into the wee hours,but they'll be up at the crack of dawn for breakfast,each and every single one of them,guaranteed.And all of them making noise aplenty.You don't get that from the dubs,we'll either be asleep or screwing.Id rather listen to a party in the next room in the middle of the night when I'm drunk than listen to a bunch of clowns yapping their heads off and knocking each others doors at 9am when I'm hungover.I'm fully aware of course that others use hotels for purposes other than leisure,and need a good nights sleep.But a quick Google will show the places to avoid.In general if its a large hotel and its cheap your going to have horseplay at the weekends.As an aside,back to the culchie/dub thing,I've often heard from people working in the hospitality industry that dubs generally leave tips,culchies don't.

    Sweet god almighty.

    I had a month long stay for work in a pretty crappy hotel in Coruna in Northern Spain at the end of 2013.

    One night, the guy in the next room proceeded to play the same song quite loudly and on repeat.

    Annoying however, it wasn't.

    He was pissed drunk and singing along at the top of his voice very badly.

    The song?

    Only this classic from 2002
