John Cleese Award Hotel 'Damn Good Thrashing.'

The comedian, perfect for playing unhelpful hotelier Basil Fawlty, gets a taste of his character’s medicine.
#JohnCleese has contributed a hotel in Sweden a “damn good thrashing” in a series of tweets.
The comedian is ideal for playing Basil Fawlty, the irate hotelier who caused life hell for his guests.
John Cleese’s character’s famously beaten his broken-down car with a branch in one episode – and now he’s presented the Swedish hotel something of an online beating.
The 76-year-old began: “Just waited in an excellent hotel the @elitehotels Karlstad. Efficient, friendly, excellent food. Lovely 14th-century lifts, too…”
Cleese then posted: “In signed contrast to Linkoping. Here’s the view into the corridor from my room.”
The joined picture showed tins of paint and papers on the floor.
But the comic wasn’t finished.
“It’s not a hotel. It’s a building site with optional accommodation,” he wrote.
John Cleese then concluded: “Quite a nice shower, but no soap dish. How’s this possible? Were they confused by other serious work?”
Sky News contacted Elite Hotels in Linkoping on Saturday night, but no one was free to comment.
