World’s most annoying hotel suite promises the ‘worst night of your life’ for £70

A ‘nightmare’ hotel room that was designed to give guests the worst night of their life with a TV that you can only watch by looking through a mirror, has opened to the public to highlight the difficulties faced by disabled visitors.

Guests hoping to book a stay at the ‘Art B&B’ will have to fork out £70 and will have the pleasure of using a bed that you have to climb in and out of, as well as a toilet door that doesn’t shut.

The seaside Blackpool room was designed by artist Christopher Samuel and also includes bathroom lighting behind the shower head and curtains that don’t cover the windows.

The room opened earlier this month and if the mentioned annoyances are not enough to put you off then maybe the lopsided shelves and the randomly dotted light switches will.

The room is in the Art B&B in Blackpool and was designed by artist Christopher Samuel to highlight the difficulties faced by disabled people

The shampoo bottles in the shower are turned upside down and are difficult to use. There is also bathroom lighting behind the shower head 

In order to get a good sleep in the hotel you will need to climb up onto the bed first

Artist Christopher wanted to show people how difficult it is to be disabled and to be placed in accommodation which isn’t suitable for your needs.

The room is run by Michael Trainor, from Manchester who said as soon as you enter, you know it’s not going to be a very fun place to stay.

‘Every element of the room is in place to infuriate the guests, you have to hop over the toilet and stand behind the door to use the sink leaving about a foots worth of space.

‘Even using the shower is a nightmare, the soap and shampoo bottles are set upside down so it’s hard to get it out.

The shelves in the hotel are also lopsided, making it impossible to use them for anything 

The bathroom is tiny and the placing of the door makes it almost impossible to use (right) while there is a big step up if you want to get into bed (left)

‘The builders didn’t understand what was going on, they kept pulling us to one side and telling us the designs were all wrong and the measurements did not add up.’

He added that the builders and the artists had a good laugh when the final product was revealed.

‘It’s great that we’re able to commission rooms like this to be made, I don’t think there is any other hotel like this in the world.’

Artist Christopher was chosen to design one of the 19 rooms that form The Art BNB, a community funded hotel.

You almost need a step ladder to be able to use the bed (left) and the positioning of the furniture makes it impossible to do anything – even to read a book (right)

Christopher used his own experience to design the room. The Leicester-based artist had become homeless in 2017 and was put in a hotel room that had poor access.

‘I couldn’t enter the room normally, use the toilet or even get on the bed, so I just slept on my chair.

From the outside the hotel looks normal but the inside shows how difficult  it is for people with a disability to stay in unsuitable accomodation

‘I’m really pleased with the room, I think it brings some genuine understanding to people about the difficulties of being disabled in everyday situations.’

Michael added: ‘We have had a few bookings for this room since we opened last month, people enjoy the idea of it and understand why the room is how it is.

‘We always let customers know a bit about it but we hide most of the information so it hits them whilst using the room just how annoying it is.’

It costs £70 a night to stay there and in with that £70 you’ll also get a free headache, tantrum and the desire to leave a scathing review – which is just what Christopher wants.

He said: ‘The important part is that guests understand the purpose of this room, it must be the most annoying hotel room in the world.’

Michael added: ‘We commissioned this room because of how good Christopher is and we think he’s done a great job.’
