Adrian, I will suggest once more that you replace all tabs with a space as well, and maybe all carriage returns as well (for good measure).
This time I'll write out the queries for you: UPDATE hotel SET nome_hotel=REPLACE(nome_hotel, "\t", " "); UPDATE hotel SET nome_hotel=REPLACE(nome_hotel, "\r", " "); Then, when that's finished, you might have to try replacing all double spaces with single spaces again, until the data is correct.
