How important is the cleanliness of the bathroom at your accommodation? For me it’s crucial? I just don’t feel comfortable in an establishment that doesn’t have clean bathrooms. What a contrast I’ve experienced in standards of cleanliness in bathrooms in accommodation over a couple of days.
On Sunday night I stayed at the Metro Inn Falkirk in central Scotland and was unhappy with the cleanliness of the shared bathrooms. On Wednesday night I stayed at the Sunnybrae Bed & Breakfast in Galashiels in Hawick in the Scottish Borders and I can report that the Sunnybrae is the cleanest, most pristine accommodation in which I’ve ever stayed. The bathroom for room 3 at Sunnybrae was sparkling.
It’s perhaps not an entirely fair comparison as I did have a private bathroom at Sunnybrae. However if an establishment has shared bathrooms it must ensure that they are clean. Metro Inns claim on their website to offer cheap, clean accommodation with self cleaning shared toilet and shower facilities. Self cleaning sounds like an ideal solution and I could see water jet nozzles in the shared facilities at the Metro Inn but whether they were broken or just not efficient they weren’t doing the job.
What’s your experience of bathrooms in hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfasts?
Update:
I was emailed this video link by GAP at Le Gourmand which portrays the health hazards posed by improperly cleaned hotel bathroom glasses. I just goes to show that you can’t tell by looking if something is really clean.
