Britannia Grand Burstin Hotel, Folkestone, The Harbour, Marine Parade, Folkestone CT20 1TX What is the smell?

Britannia Grand Burstin Hotel, Folkestone, The Harbour, Marine Parade, Folkestone CT20 1TX What is the smell?

I have stayed at other Britannia hotels before and this one is not as disgusting as any of those. The Gran Burstin was tired,  a little bashed up and smelly.

People often say you get what you pay for when talking about Britannia Hotels. I disagree. If the booking payment system on Monday was working I could have found my self staying at a Travel Lodge for the same price with a clean and fresh environment.

I notice the restaurants at Britannia are always good when it comes to a clean environment. I assume that is because they are inspected and rated by the local authority.

I wonder if its not time for a similar inspection and rating system is started for hotel rooms.

The Britannia Hotel does not clean rooms during a stay. They claim the rooms are sanitised after each guest leaves. This in my opinion means beds are made towels changed and bins emptied and a plastic bag containing coffee etc. is placed next to a dirty kettle. I must not forget the sticker stuck to the door lock. 

Febreze purchased from Asda helped make the mask the stink. that was also a feature of the corridor.

The water system is very noisy and the hot water appear to be limited. 

The Wifi did not work. I was able to connect and the internet did not work.
