Hotel Biscuits

You get a warmed cookie at Hilton Doubletrees. 🤩

I love it if there's decafinated coffee and a pint of milk. 5* review guaranteed

Sorry…

I’ve just stayed in a hotel for work and they had these! And two small biscoff biscuits and a little bottle of milk for my tea - I was pleasantly surprised.

I've stayed at 2 hotels recently that had put whole pints if milk in the mini bar 😀 this is a welcome move away from those stupid little tiny cartons.

I'm always happy to see Borders biscuits, appreciate a DoubleTree check in cookie and love a Tunnocks or Biscoff. My new top hotel biscuit, encountered at the Hotel Indigo chain, is St Michel Sable de Retz.
I can report on zero biscuits at Holiday Inn recently.

I stayed at a hotel in Amsterdam which had fairly standard conference biscuits in the bedrooms, but lots of interesting stuff in thr lobby- reception desk had chocolates and sometimes some sort of stolleny thing, and a whole table with jars of sweets to help yourself to.

Biscoff is basic biscuit.
A nice Borders shortbread is good.
I quite like a serve yourself tea bar outside the room.. they have much better biscuits.
Last place I stayed at had Brownies!

Milk? Proper milk. I haven't seen in a long while.
Sachets of long life milk. Yes. But why,why,why don't they not put them in the mini bar fridge?
Tea made with room temperature milk is horrible.
It's the first thing I do whenever I go to a hotel.
And more Earl Gray please.

I think I have done too many hotel stays...Forced..

I am reading this over breakfast in a hotel. Just a single-packed Biscoff here, one in each cup. There is milk, but I didn't really note the full range, as I don't drink tea or coffee. Looked like only one coffee sachet though (and one hot chocolate.) Two PG Tips bags, two Twinings Early Grey, two fruit teas, but neither a flavour I'd rush to, and no peppermint tea, which I would have had. Also, no glasses, so I had water in a cup.

But I forgive them everything because I had a giant bath in my ... suite, rather than room... and as it it took me double the planned time to get here, oh, that bath was needed and good. Sort of felt with the size of the bath and bed and sitting room I should have been having an orgy or something, but I just didn't have the energy. Plus I was expecting small room, bed and shower, as it was only £55 for the night.

Yes, how dare you expect anything other than Gulag 1star accommodation, OP.

I’m fond of a ginger biscuit in a hotel.

Custard creams are not worth the calories.

We stayed in a pub with rooms in North Wales that had a mini fridge for fresh milk, good biscuits and even provided dog treats for any dogs booked in .

See, an American chain offering 'cookies'
This is Engerlaaand, mate. We have biscuits.
Cookies don't know if they are Arthur or Martha; bit crunchy, as in biscuit, then soft and gooey, like cake. Get a grip, decide what youvare. Stay on your side of the pond, cookies. Be gone...
Sorry, I rather dislike cookies

I take my own coffee!

Biscuits at hotels are incredibly important! I’d be raging disappointed not to get some and expect the quality to be alongside the quality of the hotel. Custard creams at a posh place wouldn’t work for me but would be perfect at a £40 - night b&b.

Best I ever had was a b&b up north where the owner had just won all the cake and biscuit prizes at the annual village show so the room was full of home made treats. Ruined only by the bed having a shin wrecking frame which stuck out all round the mattress. You can’t have it all.

In a world of biscoff bloody biscuits, I would kill for a custard cream (and I hate custard creams!)
They should have M&S spiced shortbread rounds, which I have just discovered.

If no fridge though, there better be a good milk to tea bag ratio!

Last time I stayed reception man forgot to offer me my cookie. I hung around awkwardly in front of the reception desk until he realised. Both of us were relieved

I once stayed in a really fancy hotel in Monaco and on the check in desk there was a big bowl of help yourself chocolates.
I said to my boyfriend, “Oooo Godiva Chocolates!”
and the receptionist looked up at me like I was silly and said, “yes of course you can!”

Can confirm the doubletree ones are issued at check in and are warm and delicious. We checked in last night and the biscuits didn’t last more than 5 seconds.

eta: we also have shortbread in packets in the room

Thank you OP for raising such an important issue. And no, I'm not being sarcastic

Like a PP says, the quality of the biscuits can really enhance a guest's stay, without adding significant cost to the room - it must be pennies difference between crap generic biscuits and something a bit special.

Even a couple of nice shortbread fingers are a step up from something basic like custard creams or digestives. Although Ideally I'd like to see Border biscuits as a minimum. Something like Island Bakery biscuits would send me over the moon.

And please, plenty of tea bags including herbal. I'd also like a small fridge that I can use for fresh milk, even if I have to supply my own. I'd much rather have that than the crap hairdryer, trouser press and fancy TV, none of which I ever use.

Can he advise on biscuits?

Canadian here; I have never once seen cookies in a hotel. It must be a UK thing. Haven't seen it in France, Spain, or Mexico either!

DH stays in the Holiday Inn most weeks. KitKat Chunky and Pipers crisps. Full sugar and Diet Coke.

I’m staying in a Doubletree next week and they’d better have a warm gooey gluten free cookie for me, otherwise I will be very jealous.

Love a Premier Inn, mainly for the beds
