New Delhi, Jan.29 (ANI-Business Wire India): 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
According to TripAdvisor, the world’s largest and most popular travel site, the other Indian hotels termed as the dirtiest include eight in all, and they 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.
These three hotels along with Hotel Metro Tower (Delhi) have found pride of place in Asia’s Top 10 dirtiest hotels this year.
A disappointed TripAdvisor member said: “I think it would have been better to spend the night at the airport rather than go through the torture at Centaur. I think it’s high time either the management was changed or they shut it down”.
“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.
