British hotel employees are in need of a morale boost, according to UK tourism chiefs.

With the fall in the value of sterling against the euro and US dollar making Britain a more attractive holiday spot, a failure to provide basic services such as soft towels and fresh bars of soap has also been cited as a tourist turn-off.
Earlier this week, UK consumer magazine 'Which' published the findings of an undercover investigation which found stained, lice-ridden, mouldy mattresses and filthy toilets.
