Millions of travellers give a thumbs down to eight Indian hotels, and New Delhi’s Centaur Hotel located near the Indira Gandhi International Airport IGI Airport, has been voted the worst for three consecutive years not only in India, but also in Asia.
The survey was conducted by TripAdvisor which is visited by millions of travellers from around the world. According to TripAdvisor the other Indian hotels termed as the dirtiest are located in New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai Agra and Munnar.
Centaur Hotel (Delhi), Hotel Namaskar (Delhi) and Raj Residency (Chennai) are three hotels that have been featured in the list for two years in a row, reports IANS.
These three hotels along with Hotel Metro Tower (Delhi) have found pride of place in Asia’s Top 10 dirtiest hotels this year.
“The collective opinions of millions of real travellers on TripAdvisor can help others save themselves from bug bites, lousy service, dirty sheets and damp rooms.
The list is only intended to serve as a strong reminder to hotels that cleanliness is the least that travellers expect from their hotel rooms and surroundings, and when hotels fall short of delivering it, travellers have platforms such as TripAdvisor where they can expose such hotels in front of a global audience”, said Sharat Dhall, Managing Director, TripAdvisor India.
TripAdvisor is massively influential in the decision making process for millions of passengers, and these reviews are damaging for these hotels in particular, and non-branded hotels throughout India. Click here for the line-up of perpetrators
