🏨What you need to know about staying in a hotel in Europe🖌️

#HotelReview European hotels have many differences from Japanese and Asian hotels, so it's a good idea to know about them in advance! Below are some points you should definitely check 👇 🕐 1. The front desk is often not open 24 hours • If you arrive late at night, you may not be able to check in unless you contact the hotel in advance! • It will be smoother if you let them know your arrival time by email. 🚕 2. Some hotels offer airport shuttle service • If you have an early morning or late night flight, it's convenient to check in advance whether there is a shuttle service! • You can also have them arrange a taxi to the airport when you check out. 🛁 3. There are basically no amenities! • You must bring your own slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo! • Many hotels do not have air conditioning, so be sure to check if you are staying in the summer! ⏰ 4. Check-in and check-out times • Check-in: usually after 15:00 • Check-out: by 11:00 the next day 🔌 5. Adapter plugs are a must! • C, E, and F types of plugs are the norm in Europe. • If you have a lot of electronic devices, it's useful to have an extension cord. 🌿 6. Towels and sheets are not changed for environmental reasons • Towels and sheets are not changed every day unless you request it. • If you are staying for a long time, the key is to ask for them to be changed only when necessary. 🔐 7. Always put valuables in the safety deposit box • When you go out, it's safe to put your wallet and passport in the hotel safe! 🪟 8. Don't leave the window open when you go out! • Hotel windows often have wooden shutters. • Make sure to close the shutters when you go out or go to sleep. • If you sleep with the window open, a thief may break in ⚠️ 💧 9. There is generally no free water • Many hotels do not provide bottled water. • If there is water in a glass bottle, it is likely carbonated water! (In Europe, carbonated water is the norm) 🤝 10. Don't forget to greet the front desk and staff! • Saying "Hello" and "Good morning" leaves a good impression ✨ 🎒 11. Luggage storage service may be paid • Many hotels offer free luggage storage, but some have a paid locker system. • For example, in Copenhagen, it was 50 yuan (about 7 euros) for 3 hours. ☕ 12. At least coffee is always available ☕ • European hotels have few amenities, but coffee is always available! • A nice point for coffee lovers✨ 📄 13. If you need a receipt, get an invoice or receipt • In Europe, there are no receipts like in Japan, so if you need one, you will be asked for one at check-out. 💰 14. Many countries impose a city tax • Tax is imposed for each night at check-in (varies by country and city). • Generally, it is about 1-5 euros per person per night. 🥗 15. Breakfast has few vegetables • European hotel breakfasts are mainly bread, ham, and cheese, with few raw vegetables. • If you are health-conscious, it is a good idea to buy fruits and salads at the supermarket. 🛏 16. Clean your room when you check out! • If you get your sheets or pillows dirty, you may be charged an additional fee⚠️ • It is best to tidy up a little before leaving the room. ✅ Summary European hotels have many different rules than Japan, so if you know about them in advance, you can have a comfortable stay. ✨ Be sure to prepare well and enjoy your trip to Europe!
