What can I take home from my hotel room?

According to British etiquette expert William Hanson, travelers can basically take home "every little thing" in their hotel room.

What is and isn't acceptable to take home from a hotel room is a question that many people are interested in. British etiquette expert William Hanson filmed a video explaining while staying at the luxury floating hotel QE2 in Dubai in late October. His video attracted more than 2.5 million views, more than 210,000 likes, and more than 2,000 comments.

According to Hanson, "basically anything small" can be brought back, such as a toothbrush, razor, small bottles of shampoo and body wash, and disposable slippers. In the video, Hanson also points out that his hotel room slippers have a note that reads: "Love me, use me, take me home."

In addition, guests can take home small postcards with pictures of the hotel, writing paper and pencils are available on the desk. Items such as cups, plates, pillows, robes are not allowed to be taken away as they will be considered theft. When cleaning the room, the housekeeping staff will report these items missing and the reception will charge the guest.

If guests are interested in china items in their hotel room such as cups and bowls, you can ask the receptionist as many hotels have souvenir shops that sell these items.

For Hanson, bath salts are a favorite thing and he often brings them home, especially if he likes to take a bath at the hotel he just stayed in. Using bath salts and soaking in the bathtub at home will make Hanson imagine himself still staying at the hotel and having relaxing moments.

During the pandemic, when Britons rushed to stockpile supplies, Hanson joked that he once took a roll of toilet paper from a hotel to take home as a gift for his landlady.

Most people agree with Hanson. One American travel expert adds that if in doubt, follow the rule: anything a hotel is forced to throw away after a guest has used is acceptable to take home.

One hotel receptionist said he had seen guests sneaking pillows home. "They think they can fit them in their suitcases and we don't know. It's childish," he said.

Hanson also suggests that when guests leave their rooms, they should not leave behind a "battlefield." Instead, gather up any used towels and place them on the edge of the tub or sink, hang clothes hangers in the closet, and pick up any pillows or blankets that have fallen on the floor.
