To think coming down for breakfast in a hotel in your PJs is really bad manners

[Nurserywindow]

We were away at the weekend in a hotel with a couple of friends whose teenage daughters insisted on coming down to breakfast each morning in skimpy pyjamas. We were embarrassed and could see hotel guests looking a bit askance. However, their parents didn't say anything so there was nothing we could do.
They also lounged around the general reception area for about an hour afterwards using their ipads, before going upstairs to get dressed.

AIBU to think this was rude and they should have been told firmly to get dressed before coming downstairs?

If you go to a spa hotel then you lounge around in your dressing gown all day, even for meals.
Pyjamas for lunch or dinner, no way. Pyjamas at breakfast if your on holiday, so what.

Perhaps my standards have lowered though. I've never been quite the same after witnessing the horror that is the Alton Towers breakfast buffet.

It's not something I would encourage, but I don't think I would be horrified by it, either.

It's rude because it's not considerate to other people.

I don't want to see a person in a hotel dining room who has just arisen from a sweaty bed wearing the sweaty clothes that they had on in that sweaty bed.
Not when I'm paying to stay there.

It's just bleurgh

I'm not that keen on it at home either if I'm honest..?

As long as they were actually covered I'm not sure I really have a problem with it. The size of teen girls shorts and tops means that an awful lot of flesh is on display - that could be really off-putting at breakfast
It was probably easier to drag the girls down like that than to have to wait for the hours it would have taken them to get ready.

But it's just a top and bottoms. It's not different to other clothes.
I'm not sweaty when I get out of bed...

Some of the other people might have slept in their clothes Secret sweaty people! That's worse, surely....

You might think you aren't sweaty from your bed - but you are!

Even if you have a quick wash and brush up and shove on a clean t-shirt and jeans that better than appearing in rumpled sweaty PJs.

I'm horrified by it; if you can't get dressed to go down to breakfast where other people are then room service - or stay at home, it's not difficult.

What about the secret sweaters...

The secret sweaters will be obvious because they will look like they slept in their clothes!

Forgetting the clothes issue for a moment, why on earth did they have to take ipads down to breakfast?
Couldn't they leave them in the room just for half an hour?

Ooh, I know. What about the nude sleepers who slip into some "loungewear" and are all fresh and clean

But why would nude sleepers stick on Loungewear PJs instead of actual clothes?

Hmm?

They were probably German, shegot.

They are world champions at slipper culture.

Because they are planning on getting naked again straight after they've eaten?

Now you're just being silly wideopen...

A hotel breakfast is a public space. Nightclothes are for private spaces. They will have looked rather stupid.

It's the same as people going to Tescos in their pjs

I'd love to but I suspect I might out myself.

And you don't think this post will if it really happened?

I don't see how it's rude or inconsiderate to wear pyjamas to breakfast. Pj bottoms are really just trackies in a different material.

Not ashamed to say I've chucked a hoodie over my pyjamas and worn them to breakfast in a Holiday Inn - parents get up far earlier than me and were anxious to get down there as quickly as possible.

I really would love to know what's so offensive about pyjamas. Fair enough if you're braless and in a revealing top, or in a skimpy nightie or short shorts.. otherwise I really don't understand the problem.

I'm not a frequent guest in hotels so I am horrified that anyone would go down to breakfast in anything other than the clothes they would wear out (I don't mean coats!) Does that really happen? I spent a night in a hotel back in February and didn't see anyone in night clothes.

One of the joys of hotels is, imo, being forced to get dressed and presentable before breakfast. It isn't my usual way of doing things at home, so I like the fact that you have to get up and get on with the day in hotels. Makes me feel virtuous!

My Dc have often gone down to breakfast in PJs or a onesie. Now DS1 is 13 he prefers to dress first, but I wouldn't be bothered if he didn't want to.
DH and I always get dressed yesterday's clothes so probably as sweaty as those horrible PJs you are all moaning about
can't get all het up about this.

It wouldn't offend me to see that. I would just think they were lazy sloppy individuals whose parents don't expect them to conform to socially acceptable behaviour.
Its not just about the PJs,..its an attitude.

I'm staying at a very posh hotel in September. I've been worrying about the logistics of getting from room to spa in a robe. I guess I needn't be concerned. I can just float through in my M&S Cool Comfort nightie.

Well I'm a teenage girl (though presumably older than the ones you're talking about - i'll be 19 at the end of the year) and I've never heard of such a thing! That's revolting!

Aren't spa places designed for people to go about in robes anyway?

Or is it a hotel with a spa?
