Many see a hotel room as a free-for-all, taking all they can, sometimes crossing the border of legality.

I seldom get to visit any of the more expensive hotels so I don't get access to the likes of bath robe and slippers but I doubt if I would take them anyway.
I will admit to taking toiletries, complimentary food and pens etc.

I thought if you took the robes etc, they charged you for it. I am never sure about the quality of the shampoo and stuff, always take my own.

Last time I stayed in a hotel, was paid for by work, I took the 2 free bottles of water and the biscuits and tea/coffee sachets. It was a DeVere hotel in Bolton. I was going to take the shower/shampoo bottles but forgot to take them even though I used some of them as I didn't take my own stuff. Meaning the cleaners would have binned them anyway.

I'm one of the boring many, it seems: shampoo/conditioner/soap etc

But only if I've already started the bottle and if I don't know whether the next place I'm staying has toiletries (i.e. if going from a hotel to a hostel)

I've never stayed in a really posh hotel with bathrobes, slippers etc. I do take the toiletries though as they are thrown out anyway

Complimentary = given free of charge
so I've taken unused coffee sachets, advertising pens and part used toiletries. I have also taken the flimsy free slippers I'd been using on the grounds that they'd be binned anyway.

I've never taken anything from a hotel room. I think it's rude, and it leads to an increase in hotel prices.

When I'm there I'll occasionally use the toiletries, though I usually prefer my own. I might eat biscuits, and if there's hot chocolate I'll have a mug before bed as a treat, but if I don't use something whilst there then there's no way I'd pack it to take away.

I take the Top 4 responses in the poll - tea. coffee, buscuits, pens and toiletries.

I have used the contents of the bottles and given them to friends and family that are travelling with hand luggage only on planes.

The things that they leave and expect you to consume - tea, coffee biscuits etc etc are already included in the price so really they belong to you. Travelodge are cheap so they don't supply toiletries to keep cost down. I love the episode of friends where Chandler and Ross pack everything from their hotel room
