To think it’s okay to take certain things from a hotel?

And pointless!
I suspect that no matter whether the label on the dispenser is a fancy toiletry brand, the actual contents will be topped up from the big cheap bulk shampoo packs they get from hospitality suppliers.

I didn't even notice how old it was. Oops! Sorry!

Well, I'm in the US, so no chance of me ever getting to any of those places but I wouldn't care if I had to buy them. The camel and elephant sound so cute! Is there anywhere to see a picture?

Sorry to all for veering off topic, but I love stuffies. blush

@Pam100127 what do you do when guests have stolen items? Can you/ do you charge them or reflect it in a review?
It's so dreadful of them !

I don’t usually take any of the hotel toiletries as I don’t like their shampoo or shower gel anyway too fragranced and the shampoo makes my wavy hair go stupid looking 😂
I take my own things when I’m away .
I use up the hotel teabags though but don’t take any home with me
If someone brings me a coffee with 2 sugar sachets on the side I pop them in my handbag as does one other poster above .
I don’t take sugar in my hot drinks and no one who visits me takes sugar .
i often find trades people take 2 sugars in their tea or coffee so use them for that .
why not ? Same as the little wrapped biscuits one local cafe gives with a hot coffee .
I don’t like those particular biscuits so pop it in my bag and my youngest has it .

No those things are stealing! It's not a free shop!

@AnnoyedAsAllHeck If you stay in a Conrad, different places around the world they give you different gifts, the small bear used to be always a standard.

I have a camel from Conrad Dubai, a elephant from Conrad Bangkok as well. But now some hotels are charging for the said animals, unless a certain membership tier.......

I might take a shampoo if I really liked it but certainly wouldn’t be taking glasses etc. Just google reverse image search them and buy some. I remember when we were coming from the Dominican republic the hotel staff made a guest open her case as we were about to board the bus to the airport and she took out a big blanket. I laughed so much, then found myself sitting next to her on the flight home. She was lovely, not sure why you’d nick a blanket if you can afford 2wks in the Dominican over Christmas!!

I doubt anyone will answer you since this thread is 9 months old

Weird to resurrect it with not just one but four posts

Actually, she said she takes the two sugars they invariably stick on the saucer. You'd rather they go into a landfill? Because they are going into the garbage when the table is bussed. Ditto for any little jellies, creamers, butters, etc.

Actually, don't answer that.

Hhhmmm..they could reduce the prices for their hotels by not offering the teabags, sugar packets and toiletries, yet, they don't. I wonder why?

Next time you go to a hotel, tell them that you want a discount, as you don't plan to use or take any of their amenities. Then let us know how it goes and how big your discount was. Then, I'll take your opinion seriously.

Don't worry. I am sure someone will mention "They never took a tea bag nor pack of sugar home" in your eulogy. Be proud.

Meanwhile, I will take the disposable things I might actually have used and the tea bags if I choose, but promise to leave the mattress, toilet and tub for the next guest. I'll just skip having anyone give me a eulogy.

I want to stay at a hotel that gives you a little bear or a rubber duck!

The only time I really wanted the small toiletries from a hotel was at Disney. They were really nice, and they left extras in our room so we could take home a small bottle of each thing they offered as an extra souvenir. Other than those disposable things, no. Anything else is stealing.

The poster with the mattress and coffee pot, etc. --that was funny! Thanks!😆

Returned from holiday on Thursday and only things I took from room were a pen and the laundry bag. Great for putting shoes inside suitcase and I used bags from another hotels (turned inside out) for dirty washing.

What do you think?

What I think is that it's very odd to start a thread like this and never come back to it.

You would decline going to your own family members wedding? I lived in a flat too- should I have lived on the streets instead? I’m leaving this thread cos it’s full of too many stuck-up aholes that judge people for taking a teabag home.

Possibly room paid for?

Yet you could afford to stay at a hotel for a wedding? And no doubt, travel to get there, a new outfit and a gift? I’ve had times in my life when I was broke and if I’d been invited to a wedding I would have declined because I couldn’t have afforded any of these things.

Had surgery on both eyes (two on each eye) for an eye condition and one of the things stipulated was not to get operated eye wet for the first few days. Wearing a shower cap at jaunty angles was the solution and had to move it to expose hair to wash.

Think a hotel shower cap lasted 3 showers.

It's because of people who would steal anything and everything from hotel rooms that they have annoying clothes hangers rather than normal ones, or lamps with completely different plug fittings, so the room has fewer normal sockets for anything you brought with you that you might need to plug in.

Please, stop stealing stuff from hotel rooms.

It's not ok. DD says hotels expect you to take the toiletries and possibly the slippers. I have never taken such things, however. DD's DP got charged for the dressing gown he thought he was allowed to take away and it was embarrassing at work because it was charged to a work account. He has never taken so much as a sachet of shampoo since, afaik.

That is called stealing.

I take things like shampoo and body lotion because it's free/included in the cost and I'll use it. I might also take those slippers they sometimes provide, as I'm not sure they're intended to be reused. I wouldn't take anything just for the sake of it (shower cap, sewing kit etc) and certainly nothing that's actually the hotel's property like mugs, glasses and towels.

My parents were on a cruise... One of their fellow passengers purposely brought a spare case to steal nice towels /quilts /pillows etc

I drink LOADS of tea when have been working late in hotel rooms. Does it matter whether I drink 6 cups or drink 4 cups and take the two remaining bags when I leave?

Wouls it matter if used the remaining two for my flask for the motorway?? Or is it naked t bags which make it theft 😂

Of course this isn't theft... Unless they're wrapped they won't be used for next guest....
