It is sad but none of the hotels I have stayed stick out as "best hotel I have stayed" because the "good" ones were kind of all the same - some more expensive than others, but pretty much none with a wow factor. One does come to my mind though when I think "worst hotel" I have ever stayed, but it was actually a hostel, so I don't know if qualifies.
There was also a 5 star hotel I stayed in Madrid that was horrible for a 5 stars hotel. Matter of a fact, I have learned that generally the more expensive/famous hotels usually are crappy as they nickel and dime you. I mean, WHO charges for wi-fi in this day and age? I tell you, some 5 star hotels out there. That hotel in Madrid took the cake though as we could not use the mine fridge because it was already stocked with water, soda, beer etc, and I couldn't remove anything from it (like, take a bottle of water out and leave it outside to put a fruit or milk for my baby at the time) because everything was electronically controlled through weight. So, if I removed something (even if I didn't consume and put it back) I was automatically charged for it. |

I wasn't really impressed with this hotel. It felt like my grandmother's house. |
| Cap Julica - Anguilla |
NP here. I totally agree. One of the worst business class hotels I've ever stayed in. On the other hand, the Buenos Aires Palace is the best with or without kids. It is incredible. |
