What's acceptable to take from a hotel stay?

[cheesychops]

Just reading the magazines in the hotel room and wondering- is it acceptable to take these home with me?!?

Also wondering what hotel goodies people generally snaffle home after a hotel stay.

Personally, I'll be taking the posh 'ground coffee bags' and the packets of biscuits , but will probably leave the miniature toiletries as they always hang around and don't get used...

I always take the TV and duvet

I always take the toiletries! They're useful for my washbasin when we visit the in-laws. I also make sure I've snaffled the biscuits into my handbag each day before housekeeping comes because then they replenish them...

Washbag, not washbasin. Stupid autocorrect. I literally never use that word on purpose.

The perishables like biscuits not that there are ever any left the miniatures and stuff that it's obvious had one time use, like little wrapped up shower caps.

Lemonredwood hubby was very angry today as I forgot to hide my share of biscuits before housekeeping arrived

Not

Rookie mistake cheesy

I don't want any of their germy things. I might take partially-used soap if it seems wasteful to leave it.

Surely there is no need to ask this as there is a whole 'Friends' episode to help clarify the hotel situation.

You can take the salt but not the shaker.

Take the consumables. Although I imagine hotels budget for a certain amount of stuff going missing, that wouldn't give you carte blanche to take what you wanted.

I always eat the biscuits

Toiletries and coffee sachets.

Not the magazines.

😂 😂 notsuch

I take the posh toiletries and disposable slippers and take them to my neighbour's Dorset cottage for her "bathroom basket"

I take toiletries (miniatures) and any uneaten biscuits. I am in a small hotel near KingsX atm and have earmarked shampoo and shower gel, we do use them. There were no biscuits but we ate at Carluccios at St Pancras where I nipped in to Fortnum and Mason (posh eh) and bought biscuits and naice tea bags. I wouldn't take anything which hadn't been intended to be used up by me. The magazines are usually for info about the area and have a 'please do not remove' label.

I've got Good Housekeeping and Home & Garden with no do not remove label. They're mine now...

As long as you replace them with a couple of Take A Breaks with the puzzles filled in

In hotels they expect you to take the toiletries and edibles.

They aren't allowed to keep them and use them again for hygiene reasons, that's why they're so small!

They just get thrown away so take them, you've paid for them.

Remote batteries but not the remote 😁

I worked in hotels for a long time, take any toiletries and anything off the tea/coffee/biscuits tray, don't take the magazines they do have a few spare but you always have to go searching for them and get in trouble if you can't find any to replace in a room you've cleaned, it's really bloody annoying

The bed, the tv, the curtains...

Nothing actually, in my case. I bring my own toiletries etc.

mrselm I gave a question

Is it acceptable to take the shoe bags? The ones that they leave with the laundrey bags for if you want your shoes shined? I find them really handy and have in occasion take the flimsy looking ones but every known and again get really tempted by the heavy cotton embroidered ones.

When I worked in an organization where most of us regularly travelled for work and stayed in hotels, we collected the toiletries and donated them to the local homeless shelter. They were grateful

Anything consumable/disposable.

Although I don't tend to bother anymore. I don't want loads of tiny bottles of random moisturiser.

Premier Inn stopped me taking the mattress which was a bit gutting! 😂

Mini toiletries in a basket or on the side and sample size tea/coffee biscuits left by the kettle are fair game. Anything else I don't touch unless it has an explicit sign.
