'Sneaking' two extra children into hotel room booked for two adults and two children

Perfectly easy to navigate for anyone with an iq above room temperature.

But I'm not the owner of the hotel and neither are you lol.

This entire thread is full of the type of people who have never snook into a festival or gone anywhere where they didn't have their hands held.

If you think this is ab enormous crime and hugely immoral you're a fool who's been wrapped in cotton wool and candy floss all their lives.

I feel a kind of pity for you but also can't help but laugh. Enjoy the moral high ground while I enjoy my free hotel room.

they will probably start checking when the ETIAS comes in later this year.

That's been postponed yet again.

It's also not really feasible to check every single traveller in that amount of detail - can you imagine how many miles the tailbacks at Dover would extend to?

French residents have also found there is literally no mechanism for them to get a certificate at their nearest Marie in many cases.

I hope Starmer gets his finger out about smoothing travel between the UK and EU because trying to run the border with your next door neighbour the same way as you do for an entirely unconnected third country is unworkable.

I wouldn't pick a row with them, but I would definitely judge them for being cheapskates (silently), and wonder what else they are being cheapskete about.

But they will be using towels they haven't paid to wash, in the room and by the pool, water and electricity they haven't paid to use, sunbeds they haven't paid to use that maybe a guest who HAS paid now cannot use and probably other things I can't think of just now. Where is the line before it becomes unacceptable?

Don't try this in France!
How are you going to explain at the border that you only have a booking for four for your six-person family?
They mightn't be applying these rules yet, but they are already clearly set out for holidaymakers and anyone who might be hosting UK family or friends, and they will probably start checking when the ETIAS comes in later this year.

"If you are staying in a hotel, you will need to provide a hotel booking as well as a minimum amount per day of stay that differs depending on the Schengen country visited.
For France, this amount is:

• 65 euros per day of stay in the case of presentation of a hotel booking;
• 120 euros per day in the case of non-presentation of a hotel booking;
• In the case of a partial hotel booking: 65 euros per day for the period covered by the booking and 120 euros per day for the remainder of the stay.

It's a room they have paid for a room if they are happy to be squashed it's no big deal. If they were helping themselves to all inclusive food and drink that would be different.

It's not exactly good parenting, is it? If the kids ever get caught stealing and their parents punish them, they'll just be able to say "How is this any different from that time you made us sneak into the hotel?"

It would never occur to me to consider it largely because I'd go round the bend cramed that close with my whole family.

But I also wouldn't pick a row with someone I claimed was my friend over something this minor that had absolutely fuck all to do with me.

The amount of people who seem OK with this is astonishing. People seriously just don't give a fuck anymore, do they?

If it’s just a room then it’s not too bad although I would be worried about being caught out and I can’t imagine it’s very comfortable for a whole week, especially not for the two without a bed but it will probably feel pretty cramped.

but if they are also using facilities like a pool/sunloungers etc then it is not appropriate and fair on other people in the hotel.

Why are you so defensive? Would you sneak two extra children into a hotel for 10 days without paying?

😂😂

I thought so but I know someone would have commented on it 😂

Agree.

Cheating is cheating. Slyly getting away with something is what lowlife do.

Just to clarify I'm definitely a she! 😂Can't speak for the person I quoted! 😉

Ah okay, thank you for explaining.

But how do they know it would only be one family that did this?

Aw, thank you for questioning that, don't worry,* *cannellonies wasn't referring to my post, I understood. The way the quotes show on here isn't always helpful, she meant the one I was quoting and replying to, but it doesn't show the previous posts unless you click on the "show quote history", so it can be confusing!

Not CoffeeGood, the poster he/she quoted.

Why is CoffeeGood's post ignorant? I admit I'm completely out of the loop on this drought.

For a week whilst actively using the hotel facilities like the pool?

I can guarantee you everyone is on high alert for British bad behaviour

Yep. News coming out of the UK in the last 2 weeks is not exactly laying smooth ground for tourists aiming to get away with stuff on holiday.

This is what I was thinking too, but I am not certain. If so, it certainly isn’t worth it for a few quid. People need to think for themselves what the actual consequenses might be. Not rely on a GoFundMe or sad faces in the paper. Especially parents who are responsible for the safety of their children.
