Pyjamas at hotel breakfast

[flyingpigsinclover]

We were staying overnight in a hotel last night (after a small domestic emergency so had left the house in a hurry), over breakfast this morning a family of five came down for breakfast with all the children in pyjamas and dressing gowns and barefoot. they were aged about eight to fifteen or so.

Aibu to think that this is not really acceptable?

It’s more grim when you think people might then get back into bed in the pjs which have been all round the communal areas of the hotel.

Yanbu id raise an eyebrow

We have been to a few luxury family hotels where it seemed to be encourage and most of the families headed down in PJs

Which hotels were they please because I can honestly say Ive never seen people down to breakfast in PJ's in any hotel Ive stayed in, not even the luxury ones.

It’s not as if they were being asked to wash before coming down to breakfast. Parents to blame as children old enough to explain to. Parents should have explained that you dress before going down to breakfast because this is a hotel.

Not a biggy but I would never do it. How long to bung on a top and jeans??

They're skangers.

I would have thought the hotel would have a policy on this. It's unhygienic as it implies they haven't washed, brushed teeth or hair?

My 15 year old self would have been mortified.

It's not something I would do but indignance some people are feeling about this whole situation is truly marvellous.

Who knew people would care that much?

The indignance.

Whoops, missed a word.

Still in pyjamas in a hotel dining room at breakfast says 'we've not washed this morning' to me. Skanky, ugh

I went down to breakfast in my PJs at a very fancy hotel

In my defence it was the morning of my wedding day and I'd already done my hair and the only button-down top I had was my pyjama top

Right answer. Let people wear what they like as long as it doesn’t affect you. I would love to do this especially if I’ve had a few to many the night before. That’s why I always bring trakkie bottoms.

I stayed in a women only youth hostel run by nuns once and everyone went to, early, breakfast in their pyjamas. It was the closest I've come to boarding school and very fun. I also regularly get an overnight ferry where it's common to see kids in pyjamas at breakfast. Meh.

Bare feet in a restaurant is vile! Child or no child it is not acceptable. In your own home of course. But nobody else wants to see you in pj's whatever you think. It is fine for your own family only in your own home. Lazy and dirty imo

if they had not washed/showered (which they would not have done if they were in their sleeping togs - which they had slept in ) it was absolutely unacceptable.

I encountered the same thing some years ago on my only trip to Luxembourg. There, almost all the guests turned up to breakfast in pyjamas and dressing gowns (mainly adults BTW). It took me by surprise but I wasnt traumatised by it. Since then, I have encountered it in several countries (though not to the same extent as Lux). So, clearly it is perfectly normal for some folk and I would suggest you "live and let live" . Nobody is forcing your family to turn up in pyjamas - and no reason to stop those families that do turm up in PJ

We have taken both dc down to breakfast in pjs, both aged under 4. It was to keep their clothes clean for our day out. Definitely not in bare feet though

It’s probably as acceptable as people going to the newsagents for 20 Benson and a scratchcard in their nightwear. I’d roll my eyes and think ‘you pleb’ but nothing more.

I've read most of the replies and have to confess that when working the national beauty shows we often took advantage of the free exhibitors bar and we're worse for wear in the morning, I ALWAYS went to breakfast in, what I would term, PJs, so Trackys or yoga pants with a band tee or whatever, not what I'd slept in, like slobbing around clothes, ate my breakfast and went back to shower and suit up, and take allllll the painkillers that you can in one go!!!!

I came out of asda today late morning and a couple came in with a young baby , which looked about six months old, on the shoulder of the dad. Dad was dressed in t-shirt and trakkie bottoms and the mum was in her PJs. Baby in sleepsuit. The parents had footwear. I didn't think this was a problem as too busy admiring the baby's red hair.

Have never seen this in a hotel. Wouldn't do it myself. Did stay in a B & B once where the maitre d'/proprietor had cooked and then served full English breakfast to us barefoot. I thought that was a bit weird.

Lilt children(under 6/7) I would find it just about acceptable. Anyone older= Dirty Berties!

Little children!

I've never done the school run in my PJs as we lived close enough to walk when ds needed taking.

But when I was on maternity leave in the final weeks of my pregnancy, I used to get up to take DH to the railway station for work. I got out of bed, put a hoody/jumper on, got in the car, took him to station, came back, hoody off and back into bed until I could be bothered to get up again!

Oh the shame of it.

Or rather, the common sense of it. Why spend time getting dressed when I knew I'd be going back to bed?

I can't say I've ever taken note of what people wear for breakfast when I've stayed at a premier inn or any hotel for that matter! I'm usually trying not to bork at the price of a premier inn breakfast of which I'll only probably eat 2 items on the buffet!! That said I do manage to get dressed although often it's last night's clothes and something that doesn't matter if I miss my mouth and spill baked beans down myself! I do go stand outside in my Jimmy's and slippers whilst having a cig though! I do put a coat on top (only because I don't bother sticking a bra on and the world doesn't need to see my ginormous boobies running free!! 🤣

The replies are making me laugh. I would love to be brave enough. And I think good luck to them. It’s not harming anyone for gods sake.
