Vaping and hotel rooms UK

I’m trying to organise an overnight stay in a hotel for a treat but my companion is a compulsive vaper.
Im not sure how to proceed as everywhere non smoking, will this be a deal breaker?

Are they unable to leave the room to vape?

Oblivionnnnn · 30/01/2026 16:02

I vape in hotel rooms and no alarm has ever gone off or anything 🤷‍♀️

Muchtoomuchtodo · 30/01/2026 16:03

Get a room with a balcony?

SleepingisanArt · 30/01/2026 16:03

Most hotel rooms say no vaping or smoking now so they'll need to leave the room and go outside.

ghostyslovesheets · 30/01/2026 16:04

Yep patio or balcony room is the solution

MeAndMyGhost · 30/01/2026 16:05

I did this with my BF and she just vaped in a towel. No big deal.

DH vapes in hotel rooms, never been a problem

I'm sure vaping can't be detected in an hotel room like smoking can. Open window, bathroom? The days we tried to have a cigarette was impossible due to the obvious smell and smoke alarm! Xx

Ladymuckypuddle · 30/01/2026 19:16

I've vaped in loads of hotel rooms and it's been fine.

Furlane · 30/01/2026 19:16

I did and the alarm went off!!

RampantIvy · 30/01/2026 19:18

Separate rooms?

feellikeanalien · 30/01/2026 19:19

We were staying in a hotel last year when the alarm went off about 1 in the morning. When I asked at reception the next morning what had happened I was told it was someone vaping in their room.

I’ve vaped in hundreds of hotel rooms in the UK and abroad. Everything from a Premier Inn to Claridges. On cruise ships too, which for obvious reasons have very sensitive smoke alarms. I have never set off an alarm, never been changed, it’s never been an issue.

WombatsInCombats · 30/01/2026 19:22

The alarm will not go off if ou vape. Honestly get a bloody grip. Book the hotel room

Somersetbaker · 30/01/2026 19:25

Keep your disgusting habits to your self. Vapes stink, I don't want to use a hotel room that some arrogant twat has been vaping in. Time for you to find a new companion.

DH vapes and HAS set the alarm off in the flat we used to live in! The area was a lounge with a hatch to the kitchen then hall- so larger than a hotel room!

I've never vaped so have no idea if his vape produces more 'smoke/steam' or whatever comes out, but it doesn't produce a cloud like others I've seen. I too would get a room with a patio or balcony.

Don't be ridiculous. As if you would know if someone had vaped in a hotel room
Absolute muppet

So what is the cloud of repellent smell outside the local spoons, judging by the clientele it's not deodorant.

Seriously, you sound like such a plonker. Vapes do not stink. I know that, you tknow that. You just want to judge. Total Muppet.

Of course some vapes stink, not all but some definitely do.

oscallah · 30/01/2026 20:08

Move your friend on to Snus instead.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh the hysteria

oscallah · 30/01/2026 20:13

There's plenty more than vape residue in all hotel rooms, especially the mattress. 😊

What do you mean by stink. Does it make you want to vomit? Does it make you pass out? Does it make you ill? No it doesn't. Jeeze , what drama
