Tickets, passport, money, shampoo…
How many times have you arrived at your hotel to find that you didn’t need to squeeze all those bathroom essentials into your luggage after all as everything that you need is already provided by your hotel. Or, have you relied on your hotel to provide a good selection of grooming products only to find that something significant is not supplied?
With the rise of cheap flights and the need to keep costs down by just taking carry-on luggage, many of us spend a long time considering which bathroom items we will take to fit within the 10 x 100ml fluid allowance.
What if you knew exactly what you were going to find in your hotel bathroom before you left home? Problem is, you never can predict what you are going to find; there simply seems to be no logic. Sometimes the most desirable four star hotel in Italy might not provide body lotion or hair conditioner, whereas a bargain 40 Euros a night Spanish hotel might provide enough items to make you not want to leave your hotel bathroom at all.
What if there was a website which held exactly this kind of information? Content could be posted by both consumers and hoteliers stating what to expect when you visit. Comments can be made on the standard of toiletries (Ritz Carlton, Santiago Chile – more top quality Bulgari toiletries than you can imagine) and how often they are replenished (Hotel Scribe, Paris - three times a day).

This site would be great for hoteliers; they could see how they fare against their competitors and guests would be happier as they’ve enabled them to be more clued up about the facilities before travel.
Maybe this site already exists. If it does please do let me know! If not, perhaps I’ve found something to do with my evenings.

Great post Rachel, would love a website like this. I always end up taking half my bathroom cabinet with me, even on a weekend break as you never know what you’re going to get in a hotel.

As far as I know, a site like this doesn’t exist. At least not yet.
Reminds me of when I checked into a hotel in London and didn’t realize until I was about to take a shower that I’d forgotten my soap at home. And, for some reason, there were no soap or schampoo in the bathroom. Luckily the hotel had a great location near a shopping street though.
But a site like that is a terrific idea. I’d probably be a regular reader
