It&#8217;s good, low-level marketing for the hotel.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s not acceptable to pack before checking out?<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Mr Hanson says: &#8216;Things like the mug or the cups and saucers, the glasses, the pillow, the robe&#8230; please leave it in the room because stealing is not good etiquette.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Hanson told MailOnline: &#8216;If you do take a fancy to the china, you may discover it&#8217;s for sale in the reception area. Always ask.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/10\/77600077-12724867-image-a-8_1699526585166.jpg\" height=\"569\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>What is and isn&#8217;t acceptable to take home from a hotel bedroom? This is a question etiquette expert William Hanson (above) answers in a viral TikTok post he filmed in a &#8216;sun deck&#8217; cabin on the QE2 floating hotel in Dubai that has been viewed 2.5million times<\/p>\n<h3>WHAT&#8217;S THE IDEAL STATE TO LEAVE A HOTEL ROOM IN?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Mr Hanson said: &#8216;You don&#8217;t need to leave your hotel bedroom looking like a show home, but it should not look like a bomb&#8217;s just gone off. That&#8217;s unfair to the housekeeping team, who don&#8217;t just have your room to service, but many others. Put all towels in the bathroom &#8211; in the bath or on the floor in a neat heap &#8211; make sure the bedding is on the bed and no pillows or duvets are on the floor, and return all hangers to the wardrobe.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And pillows and scatter cushions \u2013 these are items you must never remove. It&#8217;s astonishing how many guests think they can get away with stuffing one or two in their cases. Again, they may be available to purchase, or the hotel may be able to tell you the name of its supplier.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>We asked Mr Hanson if it&#8217;s bad form to give people presents that are hotel freebies.<\/p>\n<p>He replied: &#8216;I probably wouldn&#8217;t give many people a freebie from a hotel, but a close friend or family member may get a spare pair of fluffy slippers, for example.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;A few weeks before the UK entered lockdown, many Brits were panic-buying. I was staying abroad in a hotel and decided to purloin the spare loo roll to give to a friend as a (joke) hostess gift.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>And what are Mr Hanson&#8217;s favourite small items to whisk away?<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;I love taking the sachet of bath salts home with me, especially if I have enjoyed a bath in that hotel. Then, when in my own tub, I can close my eyes and imagine I&#8217;m on holiday again somewhere else.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span>For more from Mr Hanson visit his <\/span><span>TikTok<\/span><span> and <\/span><span>Instagram profiles<\/span><span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/10\/77600079-12724867-Slippers_are_always_fine_to_take_says_Mr_Hanson_who_also_told_Ma-a-1_1699527589913.jpg\" height=\"720\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Slippers are always fine to take, says Mr Hanson, who also told MailOnline: &#8216;If you take a fancy to the china, you may discover it&#8217;s for sale in the reception area.
