One of the tallest men in the UK experienced a lodging that was too nug in what could be one of the smallest hotel rooms in the UK. The 7-foot Theo Turner checked in at EasyHotel in Shoreditch, London. The bed is only 6 feet 2 inches, and the room itself is 10 square meters, highlighting the challenge of becoming taller than anyone else.
A survey from the hotel chain showed that Pet Peeve from the top 20 hotels had the eerie, uncomfortable beds and noisy rooms at the top of the list. Other common complaints include slow or unreliable Wi-Fi, hidden or unexpected fees, and unhelpful staff.
“Theo, 30, from Middlesboro,” said:
“It can be difficult to find a bed that suits my big height, so what I'm going to is to go to the starfish on the other side of the bed, or my feet will be hanging from the edges.
However, it didn't seem to dampen Theo's spirit. “Hotel stays are always an adventure, but as long as I have a comfortable bed and can rest cheaply, I am happy.”
A spokesman for Easyhotel said, “We like to call rooms 'cozy', but I'll admit that this was a bit of a squeeze. ”
According to the survey, 96% did not consider room size as an important feature when booking.
Two thirds believe the hotel is somewhere to put your head, and as long as it offers core comfort, you don't have to fantasize.
“When you're having an exciting city break, we know that our guests value the spread. You don't want to spend money on a huge room that you're not going to be involved in for the most part.”
The main frustration of 14% of travelers is that the hotel is inconveniently located to its main destination, with 32% wanting to get close to transport.
On the other hand, at 37%, the single most important attribute is the price per night. A 67% price means that most people will re-book their hotel.
Also, travelers are much more likely to trust online reviews such as TripAdvisor and Google (30%) than recommendations from friends and family (9%).
A spokesman for EasyHotel added: “When it comes to booking hotels, people's priorities are changing.
“There will be fewer square metres that the room offers, as well as less convenience, comfort and location.
“That's why we focus on what's most important: A great sleep in a smartly designed compact room will allow us to offer great prices and a central location.
“Whether it's a boutique stay or a compact urban-centric pad, travelers increasingly see hotels as a starting point for real adventures.
