It’s not a proper hotel stay unless you spend a good 20 minutes coaxing the temperature of the shower to be something in between scalding and freezing.

10 things you absolutely must do every time you stay in a hotel
HERE THEY ARE – the 10 unwritten commandments of staying in a hotel.
How many do you do?
Have a wee bounce on the bed
Just to test it out.
Give out about the price of minibar items
“Can you BELIEVE it’s €5 for a can of Pringles? Can you?!”
Worry that the cleaning staff will judge you for being messy, but do it anyway
We’re on our HOLIDAYS!
Poke about in the drawers
Did one of the previous occupants leave something? Ah no, just a Gideon Bible.
Pillage the breakfast buffet
Eating three times as much as you normally would for breakfast, because it’s there.
Bring a stack of croissants back to the room as well, would you?
Fight with the shower
It’s not a proper hotel stay unless you spend a good 20 minutes coaxing the temperature of the shower to be something in between scalding and freezing.
Put drinks/snacks on your room bill
Even just one drink, solely for the luxury of saying “Put it on the room.”
Watch the hotel channel
It’s sort of hypnotising, in its own way.
Steal everything that isn’t bolted down
Well, not everything.
But the mini shampoos, shower caps and fancy tea bags are fair game.
Lounge around in a giant bathrobe for as long as you possibly can
It’s practically the law.
