Some tricks are disclosed by the workers themselves, and they should be known about to protect themselves from unforeseen situations, and, if possible, to save. Immediately it is necessary to say that all written is not worth trying on absolutely all hotels in the world.

1. What can I not pay for?

In many hotels, customers are offered a certain list of services, for example, it can be a bottle of water in the room, charging or a hairdryer. When arriving, be sure to ask about the list of free services to use all the possibilities.

2. Hotel rules concerning towels

If the hotel has a swimming pool or is located near the sea, you do not need to take towels with you to the beach, which are in the room, as they are issued at the reception or in special places. This information should be checked with the administrator. Another rule of the hotel about towels, which you should know - the maids replace only those towels that are lying on the floor.

3. Not at all that adviser

If you want to go for breakfast or dinner, you do not need to ask the receptionist for a good institution, as they often have an arrangement with a cafe or restaurant, which can be expensive or substandard. It is better to learn everything on the forums.

4. Paid food with you

If the selected hotel has a "free breakfast" service, but an early excursion is expected, the guest has the right to ask the hotel staff to prepare a lunch box for the journey. It is important to take care of it the night before.

5. Do not hesitate to bargain

Who would have thought that you can ask for a discount even when booking a hotel, especially if it is an independent hotel? This is explained by the fact that hotels give booking systems about 30% commission, so with direct treatment you can count on a price reduction.

6. Do not store valuables in the room

Many rooms have a mini-safe, but please note that it is not insured against theft. If there are especially valuable things, then it is better to contact the receptionist so that he puts them in the hotel safe and gives out a receipt. In this case, you can expect compensation.

7. In order not to become a thief

Many people are sure that if they paid a room in a hotel, then they are the owner of everything that is there. A huge number of customers consider it their duty to take with them a bath towel and a robe, but in fact these things are not free, and they can only be bought. Take with you can bath accessories, that is, shampoo, conditioner and so on, as well as one-time slippers, pens and a notebook with a logo.

8. Unscheduled Moving

Many will be surprised by the fact that there is always the possibility that a booked hotel room will eventually end up already occupied by other guests. This is due to the fact that hotels practice overbooking, that is, they allow you to book more rooms than there is actually. Due to this they insure themselves that the room is not empty when you cancel the reservation.

If you came to the hotel and heard that all rooms are occupied, but in exchange you have prepared an apartment in another hotel, then you can request an increase in the class of the room or additional services as compensation.

9. Discontent can be on hand

If something is not pleasant about the service provided, for example, neighbors make noise or creak the bed, it should not be silenced. Make complaints, just do it politely. The hotel administration will certainly make concessions, as disgruntled guests reduce the rating.

10. The secret to reduce your own spending

Many hotels have a dry cleaning service, but not always it provides high quality services, but their cost is usually high. The best solution is to find a laundry in the area where you can wash things much cheaper and better.

11. Savings on room reservation

Rooms that are not booked, hotels are ready to give cheaper, most importantly, that the rooms are not idle. They are put on blind booking sites (someone may unknowingly pay for the place at full cost) and the customer can see the name only after full payment. The site will show the area, the number of stars, the type of room and the list of services. Another tip is to book after 6 pm, as it will be cheaper than in the morning.

12. Rules related to the mini-bar

If you do not already know, alcohol and treats in the mini-bar in the room are chargeable. In addition, it is worth considering that some products can be there a lot of time. Therefore, before use, it is recommended to check the expiration date.

13. Ugly information

Many rooms have an ice bucket, but hotel workers recommend using it cautiously. Before filling the container with ice, cover it with a special towel, as before the bucket could be used (now be prepared!) As a container for vomiting.

Many of the porter repeat the memorized phrase - "all the numbers are the same", but in fact it is not so. For example, in one room there may be more bath or the best view from the window. If you want to live in the best room, do not regret the tip of the porter, and then he will not only find the best room, but also offer several free bonuses.

15. Such a distant sea

Hotels during the description of the Internet services and location are on the trick. For example, very often the proximity of the beach or existing attractions is exaggerated. The distance is indicated not in meters, but in minutes. It seems that 10 minutes is not so much, but in fact the distance is much greater.

16. Important note for the concierge

If the concierge has on his jacket an icon in the form of gold keys, then this is a sign that you can address him with any question and request, for example, book tickets to the theater. The badge indicates that a person is a part of the public organization "Golden keys of concierges", its participants have taken the obligation to help guests in everything.
