Poor wi-fi tops gripes

BACK in the era of Fawlty Towers, it was cold food and lumpy beds that hotels guests feared most.

But 40 years on, the complaints are very different – with poor wi-fi the No.1 gripe of modern travellers.

Also on the list of top 10 grievances is the lack of vegan food – and given how John Cleese’s irascible hotelier couldn’t even rustle up a Waldorf salad, it’s easy to imagine his reaction to a request for a quinoa and tofu burger. The list of gripes has been compiled by Britain’s The Good Hotel Guide.
