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 has 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 because they will be considered theft. When cleaning the room, the housekeeping will report these items missing and the reception will charge the guest.

If you like china items in your hotel room such as cups and bowls, you can ask the receptionist because many hotels always have souvenir shops selling these items.

Bath salts are a favorite for Hanson and he often brings them home, especially if he likes to take a bath at a hotel he has just stayed in. Using bath salts and soaking in a bathtub at home will help Hanson imagine being in a 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. If in doubt, follow the rule: Anything that a hotel must throw away after a guest has used it is acceptable to take home, adds one American travel expert.

A hotel receptionist said she had seen many guests sneaking pillows home. "They think they can fit them in their suitcases and we don't know. It's childish," she 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 pillows or blankets that have fallen on the floor.
