The Grand Burstin Hotel, Folkestone - "Britain's Worst Hotel"

This video is half history documentary and half hotel review. (Hotel Review starts at 15:00)
Overlooking the English Channel, in the coastal, former port town of Folkestone resides the 550 room Grand Burstin Hotel. A hotel that the UK media have labelled : "the Worst Hotel in Britain", this claim is backed up with over 1300 'Terrible' reviews and complaints on Trip Advisor, and numerous negative local media stories. Alleging, dirt, crime, decay and poor food and service.

The hotel is currently owned by the controversial Britannia Hotels group, who have been voted the worst hotel chain in the UK 9 years running by consumer group 'Which?.

So is there any truth in this claim?? Is this hotel a complete disaster?? Well the only way to find out was to stay there myself and document the result,... so in February 2022 I booked myself into a Premier Room on the top floors of the hotel

.... this video is a record of what I found.

Also this video covers the hotel's historical back story that goes back to the Victorian age of the 1840s. Before the Burstin was constructed in 1974 -1984, in its place once stood the beautiful 5 Star Royal Pavilion Hotel , a hotel once frequented by Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens. #worstrated
