Goldie wears bizarre fake moustache as he lets rip at hotel in scathing video

Music star and actor Goldie has posted a bizarre video review of a hotel in Coventry, lashing out at "idiocy" he claims to have encountered.

The 56-year-old, one of the icons of the UK drum 'n' bass scene, vented his fury at the Telegraph Hotel while wearing a fake moustache and speaking in a plum accent.

The Walsall-born star, whose acting credits include the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough and Guy Ritchie's Snatch, was not a fan of the customer service he received, Coventry Live reports.

Goldie made this clear as he delivered a damning critique of the hotel in a video posted on Facebook.

"The level of idiocy in this establishment is quite fathoming me," he said, whilst being filmed in front of the hotel.

"It was like wow. Seriously! Idiots, as in village idiots!

"I've frequented many hotels around the globe for many, many years and I've never experienced anything like it - I really haven't.

"So, to the owner of this establishment, I think you need to get your eggs checked in the basket, so to speak, because the level of staffing here is incredible."

He adds: "It's absolutely like one of the worst experiences Higgsy has ever had.

"So if you're in Coventry, I would stay very clear, in my humble opinion. Remember, only in my humble opinion.

"You may want to stay at a lesser four-starred establishment.

"But, ah, be very very careful."

The DJ - famed for album Timeless, tracks such as Inner City Life and work as Rufige Kru among others - does not say in the video what his problem with the place is.

And it comes days after the hotel was named in the annual Sunday Times 100 Best British Hotels guide, just five months after opening.

Goldie, who has appeared on countless TV reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother 2 and Strictly Come Dancing, performed at HMV Empire on the penultimate night of his UK tour, which finishes at London nightclub Fabric on October 22.

Now the hotel has responded.

A spokesperson for the Telegraph Hotel, Coventry, said: "We are aware of the video posted online.

"The Telegraph Hotel prides itself on the quality of service it provides to all customers, but we also have guidelines and protocols that we have to follow for all guests.

"Obviously we are disappointed at any negative feedback, but have spoken to staff on duty at the time and are fully confident they conducted themselves in a fully professional manner."

Timeless is regarded as one of the great drum 'n' bass albums.

Goldie himself is seen as one of the true pioneers of the scene - and remains a major figure in UK music today.
