• London sits on the bottom of the list

WHEN in London brace yourself for a disappointing hotel room.

The city has just been named home of the world's worst hotels, according to a study of aggregated hotel reviews across more than 140 accommodation booking websites.

The study was undertaken by travel metasearch website Trivago.co.uk, which shunned TripAdvisor and instead looked at reviews on websites such as expedia.com, hotels.com and booking.com to produce its "reputation ranking".

It ranked 100 cities around the world, with number one being the best and 100 the worst on the list.

London, with a ranking of 100, was followed by Rio de Janeiro (99), Copenhagen (98) and Paris (97) in the disappointment ratings.

Australian hotels also failed to wow travellers, with Brisbane ranking at number 76, Sydney 69 and Melbourne 60.

The best hotels were found in the German city of Dresden, followed by Hanoi, Vietnam and Portland, US.
