    So what's your favourite part of staying in a hotel?

    I'm away with work now and I've put all my drink"s down to a colleagues room, he's a bit of a goodies two shoes so I don't feel bad at all. So what do you like most about staying over in a hotel?

    Oh just the general luxury and relaxing feel of it, and the way you don't have to worry about cleaning it (I'm not advocating leaving it like a pigsty), washing towels and sheets etc - love it!

    Getting the ride is the best part about nights in a hotel

    Massive luxurious beds and supersoft pillows and bedclothes.

    It's so good.

    Ah...I've just filled out the breakfast menu...there's no way they'll deliver that amount of food... I'll post pics if they do...

    As I don't have a bathtub in my house (just a power shower), I relish a nice long soak in the tub without the risk of a relative hammering on the door telling me to hurry the **** up. Ahh, the joys of only having one bathroom in a 3 person household...
    Been a while since I was last in a hotel room but my last holiday was on a cruise ship and we had a lovely man who was assigned to look after our needs and whims regardless of time. Want a fancy-pants gourmet sandwich at 3am? No problem!
    He made the beds every night and would regularly delight me by leaving little sculptures made out of towels on the bed- swans, puppies and at one stage, a towel monkey hanging off a hanger!
    It was awesome! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Ive stayed in hotels for work related business before and there was something so relaxing about finishing work and heading back by yourself to a nice quite cossy room with a big bed and tv and no one around you.

    Oh yeah i almost forgot sex in big bath tub! :-)

    Actually my friend told me about this hotel she stayed in in Japan. And they made a swan and a person out of the towels and put it on her bed.

    The charm wears off pretty quickly once you get to the stage where you know pretty much what the menu will be like (chicken, pasta, burger, salmon, steak) in advance, once you realise that almost all hotel rooms have pretty much the same layout.

    We stayed in this deadly hotel in Galway a few months ago, got the bridal suite and it had a jacuzzi big enough for two people. It was amazing!! Four poster bed, chocolates, wine, fluffy robes.

    Stayed in the westbury last year just before Christmas. Amazing too. Checkout at 4pm. Plasma in the toilet. Macaroons left in the room. Most comfortable bed ever! After dinner that night we got one of those dudes that has the bike taxi to spin us around, so much fun. I can't wait to go back this year but well wait closer to Christmas so it's all pretty with lights again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    Turning the heating up to the last, opening the windows, leaving the lights, TV, radio, and all the taps running all night.

    Fuck it, get your money's worth.

    Wow!

    Actually I remember once the fan in a hotel room. The window was open. And you could hear people outside.

    It's the atmosphere more than anything.

    I remember he and I paid for a hotel in town. I can't remember the name.

    It probably wasn't high class or anything my half was only 70 for the night. It was definitely the atmosphere and talking all night on the bed. And the other stuff on the bed :-D

    Yeah it's more fun when it's away. Hotel sex is always better than home sex! Just like its better than home baths, home bed, home breakfast.

    Just one thing. Forgive me please, but why was there plasma in the toilet?

    So you could watch it when you were in the bath I guess, I don't know really!



    Duh. I seem incapable of writing coherent sentences, a plasma tv in the bathroom

    Not forgetting ordering pretty much whatever you want off the menu and not having to pay for or expense it. Also adding a couple of sneaky pints on there.

    That aside it usually means if I'm not away with work im on holiday so that whole association is good vibes and more.

    Make sure you take your complimentary TV at the end of your stay.

    I love getting to try all the moisturisers and creams and stuff that I would get funny looks at buying at home. A hotel I stay at regularly makes all their own toiletries, one of my favourite things about staying there

    I've never ordered hotel breakfast in bed or room service
    Often you get the unlimited breakfast buffet anyway so no point limiting yourself staying in bed :p
    Beacon hotel had a massive deep bathtub in the room and proper piping hot water.
    Hotels are great

    The nicest hotel I ever stayed in had a heated toilet seat (as well as a defogging mirror and piped music in the bathroom). I was as sick as a dog that weekend so a lot if time was spent in that bathroom. I still think fondly about the toilet seat.

    I've images of a fat Scottish man playing the bag pipes beside you.

    He had just used the loo, that's the reason the seat was warm.

    I'd be sick too if I had to listen to Georgie Zamfir or whatever you call him every time I went to have a whizz.

    My wife doesn't agree.










    Perhaps I should invite her along next time.

    Cup of tae at 6am after a good nights drinking, before going to bed and wondering if I'll bother leaving when I should.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    Hotel poundy poundy. And not having to cook your own breakfast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Travelled for years with work, ended up getting some pretty sweet rooms in hotels, nothing better than finishing work, ringing room service and ask them to bring your food around at a certain time, leaving you time to hit the gym, come back shower, stick some slipper socks on and wait for the grub.

    A hotel in Paris upon feedback to stop giving me complimentary bottles of wine as I used to only have handluggage would instead get some fancy macaroons and petit fours (sp?) - which was nice.


    Favourite guilty pleasure is a room with twin doubles, one for ... eh ... jumping on. the other for sleeping!
