Hotel
If you are hoping for a dirty weekend, then Blackpool is the place to be but not necessarily for the kind of dirt you are expecting! Hotel info, an online reservation service took the rankings from two million guests and came up with a league table of cleanest and dirtiest hotels around the world.
Tokyo comes top of the pile, as it is voted the cleanest hotel destinations in the world, with top scores across the board for cleanliness.
Brits were not ashamed to reveal that although the ‘staycation’ is tempting in order to save money, the cleanliness is enough to put anyone off staying at home this summer! Listing stained sheets, dusty furniture, smoky smells and untidiness of rooms as the most common complaints and seaside towns Blackpool, Brighton, Newport and Eastbourne all were the worst for cleanliness.

Andreas Klug, Country Manager for the UK for hotel.info said:
“It looks like Brits looking for a dirty weekend in every sense of the term should be heading to the north west. Blackpool’s popularity as a holiday destination saw a resurgence as the staycation trend took hold a couple of years back, and it seems that the seaside spot has some catching up to do.
“The hotel ratings section of the hotel.info site is a great platform for users to give honest and open feedback about their hotel experiences, and what’s more, it gives the hoteliers themselves a great opportunity to learn from and improve their services in direct correlation with customer insight.
“When looking internationally at major worldwide cities, Edinburgh led the way for the UK (49th), followed closely by Manchester (56th) and London (70th).”
