Okay, we did a list of favourite hotels so I guess it’s time
to do a list of the hotels we liked the least on our around the world
honeymoon. During our nine month honeymoon we stayed at over 70 different
properties ranging from rough campsites to five star properties. This list of our least favourite hotels is in
no particular order:
Hotel Tulsi, Pokhara,
Nepal
Two words: Bed Bugs
Royale Residency Hotel, Agra, India
There was nothing royal about this place. Our room on the 6th floor was adjacent to a large construction or demolition sight, we couldn’t tell if they were building up or tearing down. It’s too hot to work during the day so most of the construction occurs at night so it’s very loud. The dust from the project carries through the hotels ventilation system, eventually causing something close to an asthma attack. One night, never again.

Park Hyatt Paris,
Paris, France
The only five star hotel on this list and quite possibly the most expensive hotel of our entire trip. I’m a Hyatt fan with this being one of six Hyatts we stayed at during our trip. At the time we stayed the average room went for around $900 US a night. We found the staff very unfriendly and everything severely overpriced for the poor service you were receiving. This was our honeymoon, with only two nights in Paris we were so looking forward to this hotel, not once did we receive any help for anything. My wife accidently left a sweater in our hotel room. After we left we called the hotel and the sweater had mysteriously vanished. Sad to say but probably my least favourite hotel of our whole trip.

Sipahi Hotel,
Istanbul, Turkey
Our sink in the thing that resembled a bathroom was literally falling off and unusable. The shower worked a little but the heater didn’t. Not a good place to stay in the cold.

El Tonsy Hotel,
Cairo, Egypt
Okay, this place scared the crap out of me. The hotel itself occupied floors 16 – 18 of an otherwise empty building. The elevator was terrifying, often only opening its doors when you were halfway between floors, forcing you to crawl out and hope the thing didn’t start again. Worst of all, you could see outside when you looked up in the elevator. Yes, there was no roof. I was so glad it didn’t rain during our stay. Other bad things about this place was the constant smell of cat piss, terrible and overpriced food and a constant feeling that you were being watched.

Courtyard Marriott
Miami Airport West, Miami, USA
We booked this hotel specifically because of the late night free airport shuttle. The hotel had us waiting over an hour on arrival at the airport. We called numerous times and were always given the runaround with terrible customer service.

That's a bummer that the most expensive hotel ended up being such a disappointment. Hopefully you at least had a nice view from your room!
