COULD this be the most epic hissy fit caught on camera?

29 Chinese tourists from Fujian, China caused chaos at a hotel in Hong Kong when a bungled booking turned into a seven hour screaming match requiring local police to break it up.

The drama started when the group tried to book seven hotel rooms online to accommodate them for one night. However the expired credit card they were using to pay the $1100 bill was declined meaning they did not have a booking when they turned up.

Upon arriving at the hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, the tourists began a verbal attack against staff until the hotel agreed to offer them four rooms for $1000 at very short notice.

The four rooms included one with seven bunk beds that was large enough to sleep 14 people, two rooms for six people — although four people would have to sleep on the floor as there were only two double beds in each room — and a third room for the remaining three guests.

The group checked in and went to Disneyland for the day, only to return around 7pm and launch a tirade of abuse against the hotel staff. Among their list of grievances was:

• The hotel had put men and women in the same room

• They didn’t like bunk beds

• They didn’t want to sleep on the ground under any circumstances

The attack lasted an unbelievable seven hours, requiring local police to intervene, and finally ended around 2am when the hotel agreed to pay for the group to stay at a neighbouring hotel.

Watch the video of what must be the most memorable tourist meltdown ever.
