I'm from Australia and I thought all that dirt was normal. I've been collecting used condoms from hotel rooms for 7 years now. I currently have 3487. My favourite is a bright pink glow-in-the-dark one that I found still floating in a toilet. Also, I like to lie on the unwashed sheets of the bed and try to imagine all the people that have lain there before me.

If you haven't already figured out. That was pure sarcasm. I think everyone here is smart enough realise that people write news articles to get people to read them. The more outlandish and shocking, the more publicity it will get. Australia is a supremely beautiful and clean country and the people are no ruder than the rest of the world. I'm sure there are places in every country that it would be easy to write an embellished story about, based on details that in reality have much less of an impact.

I was at a hotel in Perth last year..There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.

It is understandable that there are hotels of poor standard which i mentioned would be the case, but it does not only happen in Australia!!!

I agree some places are gross I have stayed in some hotels that are horrible, however I have also stayed at some 5 star places and their service and quality were not much better. Unfortunately it is a bit of hit and miss these days.

leokool1, you shouldn't be such a tight-arse when it comes to accommodation.

it's hardly surprising that you even have a tight-arse given that you're heavily into sodomy.

I haven't come across dirty hotels, but yeah you get far far less for your money in Australia than any other place I've traveled to. Almost all hotels are rip-offs. Nothing comes close to the luxury of Middle Eastern hotels or the value of Asian hotels. On the other hand Aussies are great at marketing and advertisements make budget backpacker hotels look like 3 star hotels. Almost every mom and pop run bed n breakfast has a very flashy website and most are even featured on popular TV travel shows.

I have no idea what hotels you are talking about, however you must be staying in the cheaper style hotels. Where did you visit when you went to Australia? the outback perhaps?

Australia does not by any means have the extravagent hotels they have over in some countries with gold foyers and marble fountains but they certainly have clean, polite service. Sure some may not be up to scratch with industry standards like every country I am sure... These are the places that you should take note of and inform the industry board, especially if their star rating does not match their service.

In regards to Australia being dirty and rude I have no idea where you are getting your information!!! I myself am Australian. I am very clean and easy going person who is happy to help out and talk to people. Yes we have some dangerous animals however what place doesn't? You speak of dirty? What about all the sand storms and dust that covers our cars every day here, causing coughs and colds!! I think you need to take a step back and look at where you are.... I would not say this is a bad place but it certainly has it's dusty (dirty) days!!!

Who am I ,,,, by inaudibly having a bath do you mean "having a quiet bath ". Momentary , meaning "Momentarilly", and not to mention"ferociously adjacent",

I have encountered people theat are willing to happily pay 20 riyals a night for a hut on the beach and dont complain, yet when you offer them an appartment for 100 riyals a night with clean linnen , wall to wall home theatre system ,internet access etc they balk,pfft.

Stayed at a hotel in Ghent and it was dirty. I am fine with a clean, basic bed but it was filthy. I rest beneath only the first layer of sheets as I didn’t fancy contracting a terminal foreign sickness. Then I was inaudibly having a bath when I felt something fall onto my shoulder blade. I momentary looked over my shoulder and made out the gargantuan black legs of a spider. Fully hysterical, I threw myself ferociously adjacent to the wall. It was just a hair. Yes, a disgusting hair! I’m not lying. So yeah, there are a lot worse hotels in Europe..
