WHEN a hotel gets it right, it can really make your holiday.

But sometimes they don’t quite deliver and, while occasionally inconvenient, it can lead to hilarious results for travellers.

The funniest hotel fails have been revealed from around the world

Poorly translated signs are often found in hotels abroad, and can lead to hilarious results.

But design fails are also surprisingly common, and can range from loo rolls being too far away from the toilet seat or doors that don’t close properly.

Even worse – when you book a hotel that looks like it has a pool but then turns out that it’s been filled.

Here, bemused guests share some of their hotel fails from across the globe.
