09.17.2010 - 10:04 | Katiileinhaha ya air conditioning... I talked with my friends from america about it and heard in america even the poorest of the poor have air conditioning in their houses... whereas... here in germany... and probably also in austria, that is something only in really luxury places.... at least that is what I experienced so far living in germany since 24 years xD

Strictly speaking, the space and the whiteness of everything is irrelevant to the 3 star rating. http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Star_% 28classification% 29#Hotelstars
We should all know from his reviews, but Doug is a whiny bitch ;)

Screw that, I want the covers to be clean and white. I'll make the determination I also don't want my 3 star hotel room to be sweltering, or the to be half the size of J-Lo's shoe closet.
That hotel rant was funny as fuck. and it will give second thoughts to others about staying in a hotel in Austria. Do a day trip and leave if you have to go there. You might be better off staying outside in a tent. Or a Hostel. At least that is cheaper.

09.17.2010 - 10:06 | HappyJakei just want to imagine what some1 who was walking by thought xD

Don't worry about having such tiny soap, Austrians don't bathe.

Oh god that room is disgusting!

Wow... I'm from Switzerland and I have never seen a hotel room this shabby, and I've stayed in hotels with less than three stars. Normally, when a European hotel has three stars it's above-average at least. Granted, I once had pretty small room in Florence (Italy) but there all the doors opened, the closet was big enough for your luggage, the bathroom was clean and it was even sort of cosy. But this? It looks terrible. Please don't get the wrong impression. Switzerland, Italy, Germany and even France (Sorry, Benzaie :snicker: ) have much, much better 3-star-hotels. I apologise on behalf of central Europe. Austria has nice cities (or Vienna, at least) and they make great movies but they don't seem to be able to be nice to visitors, hotelwise.
-
09.17.2010 - 10:26 | OptionThey do, otherwise it wouldn't have so many tourists. ;P
-
09.17.2010 - 10:49 | ThatSwissGuyI was half joking.
But hey, so does Paris and they're not specifically known for their hospitality, are they? ;)
-
Um, Doug.... that is not a bag. :uhh:
You see back in the day sheets were stuffed with not to washeble materials (feathers for example), so you pulled that "bag" over it, buttoned it up on the end, and sleeped like that, and than washed the "bag"
The same with pillows.
-
Yup, a duvet, and a duvet cover. Odd that the hotel didn't put the duvet cover ON, perticually seeing as that would have at least hidden how badly their duvet itself needed cleaning, but yeah...
actual idea: sound
implimentation by hotel: not so good
-
09.17.2010 - 10:21 | IntiriusHoi! I feel sorry for you. This is a fucked up hotel. ^^
I live in austria for 25 years now and i never got a problem like this.
Sure there a differences but i think u just got bad luck. The hotels in tyrol and upper austria pretty good. Even with 3 stars. ;)
But hey... another chance to make a funny video as a critic. ^^
Man... i hate myself that i don´t meet you. *g*
-
09.17.2010 - 10:24 | ThatSwissGuyAnd sorry to Sad Panda, too, of course. How could I forget our favourite French musician?
But yeah, it's probably just the hotel. I don't want to judge Austria based on that.
-
09.17.2010 - 10:28 | OptionHoly shit.
Honestly, Doug, this is definitely not a 3-star hotel. This is more like a hostel than a hotel. I'm sorry you had to experience that hotel.
For your point about air conditioning: Unfortunately, air conditioners are extremely expensive in Austria (Europe in general), thus you won't see them.
-
09.17.2010 - 17:03 | Phred
I know hostels, I respect hostels, and that was no hostel.
-
09.18.2010 - 00:25 | whatever42
Better not let Phelous hear you say hostel so much. :snicker:
I'm glad you had such a good time in Austria Doug. That Arnold museum is one of the most awesome ideas I've seen in a long while. I envy you for getting to visit it.
-
09.18.2010 - 15:49 | squirrel
The listing Doug used probably mislabeled the hotel rating. I wouldn't be surprised.
-
09.17.2010 - 10:31 | namanakadashi
Doug wears Brut.
-
09.17.2010 - 10:34 | backbeatbozoYa see, we're all about effiency here in Europe, if it uses more power than a toaster, its gone.. But really though, they should have at least had some central ventilation system or something.. I was in Vienna 2 years ago, lucky we stayed at a friends by the looks of it! :D
-
You americans don't have Super Dickmann's ? Really ? ... poor people. They are super mega delicious !! Yummie. :kawaii:
-
Doug visit Rep. of Georgia next year =)
in Batumi are much better hotels, In Tbilisi Tbilisi Marriot is the best for you and its 3stared hotel.
-
09.17.2010 - 11:04 | Shockwave_the_Dragon
yes Austria. Home of the people that paint cows to show they have more than enough supplies to outlast a raid!
I've been to Austria. You should have bought a T-Shirt that says "We don't have Kangaroos, but we love our Cows!"
-
09.17.2010 - 11:13 | GarmNo AC in a hotel?
Yeah, welcome to Europe, Doug.
There is a reason why we don't waste as much energy as the normal US citizen does and we suffer for it. =D
But yes, your hotel obviously sucked...that's bad luck.
And the "Vienna language" is called "German" you know. But most hotels have some international broadcasts you get on TV, like TV5, CNN and BBC.

09.17.2010 - 11:15 | Noceus
you should have come to slovenia and you were so close :/
-
09.17.2010 - 11:18 | Man of MaskNothing funnier than seeing Doug pointing out just how mad we europeans are.
Ever notice how Coco the monkey is a carbon copy of mickey mouse when recoloured?
-
09.17.2010 - 11:21 | ThatSwissGuyI don't consider myself mad, I consider myself eccentric. :psychotic:
And hey, we Europeans could do the same when we're in the US. I refuse to believe that Americans are saner than we are. ;)
-
09.23.2010 - 20:33 | DarkBee
Really? To me, it's another example of how biased Americans are, even the intelligent ones.
Seriously Doug, you spent a week in one of the most beautiful European countries, famous for its impact on every kind of art, and this is all you could come up with? Shame on you.
Btw.: You missed going to Innsbruck, as you missed a hell of a lot of other things.

Oh c'mon, I'm Asian and I'm not willing to just eat ANYTHING.
... That is a studly mushroom strudel though, I want to eat it now. :drunk:
-
09.17.2010 - 11:53 | ThatSwissGuyComes right after baldness, doesn't it? Oh well, I know people under 20 with grey hair, so having some with 29 is nothing to be ashamed of.
-
09.17.2010 - 11:29 | OnionDoug, if you're ever in Holland, give a holler.
-
09.18.2010 - 16:57 | nostalgic90skid
I second that.
-
09.17.2010 - 11:35 | JaiCSC
Holy Crap? That was your hotel room.
I've slept in tents that were roomier and more luxurious than that.
-
09.18.2010 - 15:51 | squirrelMy pre-college dorm room... not even my FRESHMAN dorm room... at the college I eventually enrolled to was bigger than that.
And for a 6-foot person! Damn, Doug IS TALL!
-
09.17.2010 - 11:35 | Spiritkitten
I'm sorry about your rooms, I haven't seen them for myself, but I've heard most hotel rooms in Europe are going to be small, because there are so many people and not a lot of space, where as in America, we have too much space.
-
09.17.2010 - 11:39 | projoe719srise
I was having a rough day and seeing this made me feel better thank you Doug =D too bad about the room though but the muppets clips were very fitting
-
09.17.2010 - 11:48 | lilmaibe
Gsus Oó That is NEVER a 3-star hotel...Seriously, come to Connichi,Kassel,Germany next year and we'll show you nice rooms XD
*shameless con promotion*
And back on topic: Very excellent video-diary
-
09.17.2010 - 11:57 | faqundo
so youre telling me that you went to austria and theres no reference to "the sound of the music"?
anyway this was such a cool video =D
-
09.17.2010 - 12:05 | panzi
Of course not. I'm from Austria and the only way I found out that there is something called "the sound of the music" is through references in american TV shows. I guess almost no Austrian knows about that.
-
09.17.2010 - 12:02 | Lucia32Awww...it's nice to see you guys have fun after all the hard work you do.
But mushroom strudel? Really? I'm not one to judge but...wow.
-
09.17.2010 - 12:19 | Livpretty
wow...I went to aninite and stayed at a freakin YOUTH HOSTEL and it was better than your hotel room. You just got real bad luck...
-
That room you were staying at looked fantastic compared to the one I stayed at a couple of months ago.
It's called the "Clink" hostel... Can you guess what the big surprise is? Yeah, it used to be a prison. Prison rooms that they had very poorly 'converted' into hostel rooms. The air-conditioning was the hole in the window.
I realise that I'm just completely ignoring your video and going on a personal rant here... Sorry 'bout that.
