AIBU to think hotel breakfast in pyjamas is not acceptable?

[Nextones]

AIBU yo think that adults should not arrive at the hotel breakfast in their pyjamas?

we’re staying in a city centre hotel. Nice place- nothing fancy, with breakfast included.

thus morning, 2 young women (prob early 20’s) came down to breakfast wearing short pyjamas, barefoot- clearly just out of bed. They were loud, and not overly polite to the staff either- “where are the plates” etc. just brash and abrupt.

Im generally not a fussy person but this sort of thing feels like a lowering of standards to me. I don’t think we saw stuff like this 10-15 years ago.

AIBU to think that this is not acceptable?

I think at spa hotels it's usually acceptable to dine in your dressing gown. Not pyjamas though. That's manky.

I am another one who witnessed this 30
years ago in a B&b - family of 3,
seemed slightly middle class, clad in slippers and dressing gowns. I mean, who even takes slippers and dressing gowns on holiday? The dressing gowns were of the thick belted variety. I was aghast 😂

Around my area women wear py bottoms as trousers, doesn’t bother me the slightest. The lack of affordable shops and the comfort factor I don’t blame them.

No, I really would not care. Other people in pyjamas has zero impact on my life or enjoyment of a hotel breakfast.

If only hotels had the balls to have a policy about dining areas. The majority of guests do not chav around the place like this and are made to feel awkward if they do pass any remarks. Anyway, surely a simple notice saying something like "Night attire, pyjamas, swimwear are not allowed in the dining areas." would help enormously and give staff a reason to chuck the PJ brigade out!

Problem is, a lot of the staff in the dining/breakfast areas are young, sometimes don't have much of the language of the country they are in, and shouldn't be expected to police chavs anyway.

What do you wear instead of slippers on holiday?

Lack of affordable shops?! Clothes have never been cheaper!

I wouldn't have noticed.

Seen British people ?
Try listening, they might well not be.

I mean, who even takes slippers and dressing gowns on holiday?

Me, well not a dressing gown but definitely my slippers. I'm not walking round barefoot on a hotel carpet [shudder].

But some regular clothes look like loungewear, how do you know they slept in them?

If they can't afford proper clothes then they can't afford hotels you would think.

Really poor behaviour but then in the UK it's a race to the bottom who can behave the worst and have the worst manners.

Obviously I did. 🙄

I wouldn't expect staff to police the difference between pyjama pants and thin cotton trousers, leggings, joggers, etc. - or short pyjamas and actual shorts. But the bare feet should not have been permitted for standard health reasons.

I met a family who did this in America earlier this year. Parents with 2 primary aged children. I got chatting to them and they were temporarily living in the hotel whilst their house was being repaired. I think they had got so comfortable living there they’d forgotten (or didn’t care) that it was a hotel with other guests. Shuffled along to breakfast straight out of bed in pjs, yawning with bleary eyes.

I take both, sometimes even the best hotels don't provide them.
I've got a large collection of hotel slippers, they usually last about 3 months !

Agreed. The hygiene stuff re pyjamas is a mixture of people filling in the blanks and making some quite touching assumptions about the cleanliness of guests wearing what they presume to be day clothes.

We’ve stayed at a good many P Inns, and TBH I’ve never seen it.

IMO hotels should state clearly that it’s not allowed, and refuse to serve anyone turning up in pyjamas.

Worst I’ve seen at P Inn breakfasts, though, is people taking a mass of food from the v good buffets, and then leaving much of it on their plate to be thrown away.
When I’m a dictator, all such disgracefully wasteful people will be thrown into a rat infested dungeon for a fortnight, with just the odd mouldy crust to eat. 😈

Awful. They should have been turned away.

Get up. Get showered. Get dressed. Have some respect.

Bonnets? Like in Jane Austen?

How is it selfish?

It’s not something I would do but it’s also not something that bothers me

Bonnets? Like in Jane Austen?

No, those ridiculous shower cap type things that people have taken to wearing.

There should definitely be a dress code at breakfast. I don't care how cheap the rooms are, there should still be standards. Also, bare feet are horrible in a dining room.

They’re commonly worn by black women to protect their hair
