If you ever watched an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Hotel Hell, you'll know that lodging establishments aren't always up to par. And we here at Bored Panda have decided to remind you of these horribly crappy designs. We've compiled a second list of hotels that failed so badly, it's funny. Failed appliances? Oh yes. Spiders living in a pillowcase? You bet. After going through our refined selection of "NOPE," you might never look the same at Booking dot com photos ever again. Scroll down to laugh at these and other hotel design disasters (or cry if you're staying in one of them) and upvote your favorite epic fails.

Do you know the statistics of how many people actually die from soft nipples every year? Me neither. But if you ever have CPR done on you in Thailand and wake up with sore nipples, at least be grateful for it might just saved your life.

Found This Note In My Hotel Bed Last Night...

Found This Note In My Hotel Bed Last Night...

Found at the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel, this note was placed under the fitted bottom sheet. The unlucky fellow who stumbled across it said he could "clearly see the sheet of paper when pulled the top sheet and blanket back." Makes you wonder how long it was there, doesn't it? Could be from pre-2000's for all we know.

My Buddy Traveled Across The Country To Visit Me Last Weekend. Unfortunately, He Got Stuck In His Hotel Shower For 3 Hours. Shout-Out To Julio For Helping Out A Man In Need

My Buddy Traveled Across The Country To Visit Me Last Weekend. Unfortunately, He Got Stuck In His Hotel Shower For 3 Hours. Shout-Out To Julio For Helping Out A Man In Need

To this point, no one (even Julio) aren't sure how he got stuck. The glass sliding door may have been jammed in some way because Julio had to pretty much completely remove it. Sadly, witnesses say Julio didn't talk much. He just kept telling them to make sure they told the front desk about their troubles so they could get a compensation for that day of the stay. And to anyone wondering, it was the poor guy's girlfriend who called for help and took that priceless pic, no hotel ghosts were involved!

Welcome To The Hotel California!

The person who took this photo said that it's a somewhat new hotel, opened a little over a year ago. "Definitely not a temporary wall," they added. "There is another room just to the left of the frame of the pic."
You can check-in anytime, but you can never leave, muahaha!

OK, let's say there's a reasonable explanation for why the salt and pepper have to be sealed. Why keep the bags in bottles, though? Closed bottles? Just put a lock on them if you don't want to your guests to bankrupt you with their excessive use of spices and minerals, you scrooge.

Talk about holiday spirit!

My Mom Is At A Hotel And Found This Note In Her Robe

No one wants to sleep in used sheets or wear robes that have already been worn by other guests. That's why white is the ultimate color of service since it's easiest to spot any dirt. Some hotels nowadays are going green and only washing the items that have clearly been used. So maybe it's best to leave your dirty robe on the floor instead of hanging it back up the next time you're in a hotel ?

You know that feeling when you're a hotel owner and the customers don't know how to ration their hot water usage? Well, the owner of this hotel apparently had had enough and went to the trouble of inventing ways to stop people from taking hot showers. Perhaps a cold shower of negative reviews will change this owner's mind sooner or later.

A carpet with a killer design. Literally. Nothing's more relaxing than going to your hotel room and finding out that either a murder took place in the hotel's corridor or the blood elevator scene from Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' is actually a thing which happens from time to time in real hotels as well. And if that's the case, why should some one be bothered with changing the carpets?

Minibar items are always ridiculously overpriced, but what if you just want to check out what's inside and accidentally move some items? Well in this hotel you'd be safer to never even touch the air around the minibar. Just imagine what the bill would look like if an earthquake happened during your stay!
