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.

Thailand Trolled Again. CPR Instructions Next To The Hotel Pool. They Have No Clue...
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.
Honestly it was probably ripped straight from the internet.

Gotta make sure those nipples stay hard. Sex is nothing if people don't have hard nipples.
Seen before this is a joke and someone looked up cpr and printed that one thinking it said the right stuff
So the next time I need to perform CPR, this will be going through my mind. Must make sure nipples are hard....hahahahahaha
When dead, you can have remaining Capri-Sun. Enjoy.

I always do that with my friends when we see some of those posters (the ones that only have some imagenes/icons but no text) :D
Nah, revive him first. Kissing is much better when you're both conscious
step 7: completely strip the corpse of all it's clothing and use it as a sex doll.
Well.. Don't try this there is no actual kool-aid it's such a rip off
I am so happy to finally see the cure for such a hidden, devastating condition.
Soft nipples took my boyfriend in college. I wish these instructions had been by our pool....her might be alive today....sniff...lol
"As life leaves body, picture how great your life together could have been."
This can't be real This had to come from an English speaker, who thought "I'm going to really mess up this translation, and maybe people won't die from choking, but rather from laughing themselves to death."
Oh please- Obvious Plant is - actually- Obvious Plant... https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/obvious-plant
I can see from the sign on the left this is in Thailand. Thais are chronic copiers and steal graphics and articles, make fake designer clothes, copy DVDs and sell them etc ... This is just a case of a dumb lazy one who can't read English. He obviously just got the poster off the net, not realising it was a joke poster. Idiot. LOL
Boos: "Carl, as today, your services as a translator will be no longer needed. Just finish this CPR translations and get your stuff" Carl: "´Key."
This is just like a huge joke. The translator probably was just like "ahhh I don't want to work today".
Disgusting. I know it is supposed to be a funny joke. Still, CPR is an important thing and not everybody knows how to do it. In situation of emergency they need *real* instructions, not any oh-so-funny descriptions. Let's say it is your mother or child or friend who is unconscious - alone, not breathing, in foreign country - and someone cannot help them because he does not know how to perform CPR. Still funny? Not for me.
Well, it is funny, largely because nobody is going to learn and successfully perform CPR from a poster on a wall in an emergency situation. You won't have time to pop back and fore from the patient to the poster to check the next step.

they obviously searched the internet for english cpr instructions and found a meme instead and not knowing english didnt know any better. cut them some slack, at least the pictures are accurate?
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.
The Sink In My Hotel Room (Helsinki)
More like ... Fail-sinki, am I right? Or Hell-sinki? No? Badsinki? I give up. If you want to check out this gem of worst design with your own eyes, visit the Scandic Helsinki, a four star business hotel that always knows how to surprise its guests.
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!
This Toilet Paper Holder
Courtyard Marriott, everyone. Interior design that makes you pay to walk like a penguin. Unless you have the eye of Sherlock Holmes and are able to plan ahead. Then you're fine.
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!
This 'Art' Above My Hotel Toilet
Cleaner: "Sir, it doesn't matter what we use, the stuff just doesn't come off."
Manager: "Put a frame around it and let's call it art."
"..and here we have a a new wave abstract style painting with the title "shART" by Blow vonBowel. Bidding starts at 1.000 $.."
The Door To My Hotel Balcony Is In The Shower Stall
You know what that means, right? The architect who designed it probably lives in that building across the street, constantly hoping to see some action.
This Hotel Forgot To Insert A Quote Into The Wall Decorations Text Sample
Everyone has their own motivational quotes that keep them going during tough times. This hotel decided to go with the classical one "Your text sample text your text sample text here your text" because such wisdom surely enriches everyone's lives.
This Hotel Mural In The Breakfast Area
No, no, it's not a design fail - it's called "Shower drain pube collection" and is valued at $250,000. An original work of Pubelo Pissaco.
Let me guess. The shower after Cousin It stayed at the hotel . Right ? :D
The Room Numbers In This Hotel
When you think about it, it's funny that golden letters over golden wallpaper weren't posh enough. They had to get golden nails as well.
Taking A Shower In A Hotel In China
This funny fail from China probably was born because of Google Translate. At least they tried to warn the guests. Or maybe they're certain you're going to slip, so they want to make sure you do it with grace.
The Hotel I'm Staying At In India Doesn't Want Me Looking Out The Windows In A Certain Direction
According to the guest, however, they didn't mind the obstruction. "I see kids playing in the rubbish piles all day long," they said. "Breaks your heart." As you might've guessed, this hotel is located "well away" from the touristy parts of Delhi.
Was Told My Hotel Room Had A Courtyard View. Was Not Disappointed. 10/10 Would View Again
In case you're wondering, you can check out this fabulous view in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, at Residence Inn by Marriott, right across the... courtyard, of course. Just make sure to find out if they have a room with panoramic windows.
This Hotel Doesn't Allow You To Use Books For Their Intended Purpose
I wonder, how many "displays" had to be stolen before the hotel put up this sign? Nothing says "Welcome" better than making your guests feel like thieves.
The Swimming Pool At The Motel 6 That I Stayed At Last Night
This was off of Interstate 95 in southern Georgia and, according to the guest, they just stopped there overnight on their way to Florida. I hope they left the establishment a one-star rating, though! The less motels that don't mow their pool regularly, the better.
The Design Of These Curtains At A Hotel That My Parents Stayed At
Spotted at Novotel (Wellington, New Zealand), at least these curtains made for a really daddy dad joke. And what about those sheets, blankets, and upholstery that also had random red-ish and off-white splotches "printed" on them? Pretty funny, huh?
The Salt And Pepper Shakers In My Hotel Room
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.
This Stupid Doorstop In My Hotel Room. Banged My Foot On It Four Times Today
If you haven't liked it, then you should have put a shoe on it. And if you feel as if this hotel doesn't care about its guests at all, you're right. I mean, just look at those misaligned skirting boards in the background.
Hotel Ad Vs. Reality In Vietnam
Jenny Kershaw from Manchester, tweeted a photo from the Booking dot com page of the Mari Gold Hotel & Apartment in Vietnam, highlighting a stunning swimming pool against a sunny sky. But next to the glamorous snap she shared a photo of the reality – a tiny hot tub. Interestingly, as her tweet was going viral, the travel company got in contact with Jenny, asking if she would like to make a formal complaint but she declined. Talk about holiday spirit!
The Braille In This Hotel Bathroom Sign Isn't Raised
An ADA-compliant sign that's very similar to this costs about $8 on Amazon, but I guess that's way too much if you're a a cheap skate hotel operator.
A Motel Served Me This Breakfast Tray For $15 And Contains A Toaster, And A 2l Milk
At first, they give you a breakfast tray that contains a toaster then they charge you for $300 for lost equipment. And that's only for the shampoo.
This Hotel Room In San Francisco
What's the railing's purpose in this picture? To help guests climb the steep stairs or to... Prevent people from falling to their death each time they leave the room? Well, whatever the answer is, let's hope the door doesn't open outwards.
Braille Numbering On A Bumpy Surface
The person who took this pic said that the symbols were probably made out of plastic or a resin. And even though they confessed they don't know much about Braille, they tried feeling it and couldn’t differentiate between the dots and the bumpy design at all. I wonder why.
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 ?
Just Wanted A Nice, Hot Shower At The Hotel I Was Staying At
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.
Having The Bathroom In The Middle Of The Hotel Room
At least the lavatory is in a separate room. And you can chat to your SO while they're watching TV. Just don't book this room if you're planning to go on a business trip with your colleague.
This Carpet In My Friend's Hotel
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?
I like that, reminiscent of a bloody body being dragged.
The Hotel Tried To Make Our Stay Special... They Succeeded!
It's what you get after you write 'congrats' and realize that you still have half your rose petals left over. Just one question, though. Who the hell is Tulation?
Wish Hotels Posted Shower Head Height. I Would Filter For That When Booking
If you're wondering, the guy's 6'5". But his 5'9" wife wasn't impressed either. Sorry. No pictures of her in the shower, though.
I Have To Pay Them To Take The Mini Bar Out Of My Room...
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!
That minibar thing is not exactly a design fail. It's more like a scam.
Welp, I'm getting my briefcase, ready to sue 72 times, or by the time the post is cut,l, 30..!
The worst experience I ever had was when I was a kid. We pulled up to a place, surrounded by police cars and ambulance. We started joking around like "Ooooo, someone's been murdered! I bet they're dragging the bodies out! It'll be like CSI, the lobby will be covered in blood!!" Only there had been. And they were. We sat there as they wheeled out a stretcher with the white sheet. The worst thing was that they actually let us in!!!! The police said it was an open and shut case really - and argument, someone shot, and the killer committed suicide. There were big drops of blood on the lobby floor. The lady at the front desk said we had nothing to worry about, they'd clean up within the hour and everything would be great! And could we please take the stairs, the elevator is "out of order". As we were going to the stairs, the elevator opened. All I remember is that it looked like a red paint bomb went off. And the smell. It was truly like a scene from CSI. I still get nightmares from it.
What were they thinking? Why would anyone come to any of these hotels ever again?
Ryo thinks this is enough, my computer is mostly blocked and this is all I do, so PLEASE make a part 2!
we've had a cheap hotel in London with no window, but closed curtains in front of the wall so you dont notice straight away :-D
When traveling through Italy, we stayed at some quirky places. The bidet in our Florence hotel was installed in the shower!
I'm very curious to know what the designers were thinking when they designed all these things
Very Happy that I do not Travel any Distance that I cannot return home the same day. NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
