What to do if there is no iron in a hotel room?

Hang your clothes in the shower – This technique is probably the most well known of all the options on this list. Often the first plan of action when there is no iron available, the shower trick is particularly useful when travelling and finding yourself at the mercy of hotel appliances.

So, if your hotel room lacks an iron, instead of asking for one at the front desk, why not just hang your creased clothes in the shower? Just turn the heat up and let the hot steam fill the room – this will help your clothes release any annoying creases. Afterwards, your clothes might be a little damp from the steam.

Just hang them out to dry for ten minutes, once you come back, you won’t ever want to use an iron again! Do Hotels Have Irons

Hair-Styling Tools – Hair dryers are a standard free hotel amenity at most U.S. hotel chains, but many properties now offer—upon request, of course—more serious styling tools like flat irons and curling irons.

How do you Unwrinkle a shirt in a hotel?

3 – Try the ‘Shower Steam’ Technique – All you need for this simple de-wrinkling technique is hot water from the hotel or accommodation shower. Hang up the creased piece of clothing in the bathroom and make sure the shower is turned on and the water is hot.

Close the door and turn off the extractor fan to make sure steam builds up in the room. Over time, the steam will help de-wrinkle your hung clothing. Although this technique may not give you a perfectly smooth, wrinkle-free garment, it’s still a worthwhile option if you aren’t traveling with a steamer or de-wrinkling spray.

You can even try this while you’re taking a hot shower yourself.

Do hotels abroad provide irons?

1. Re: Irons and Ironing Boards in Hotel Rooms 6 years ago Some hotels have them and some don’t, it’s not like there’s a law requiring hotels to offer Irons and ironing boards. Personally I’ve stayed in quite a few hotels around the world and most did not have an Iron (not that I’ve ever used them, but I always check the room to see what’s available).

I understand that for you an iron is important but for many, especially while on vacation, it’s not and like with everything else if something is important to you when traveling you should check it in advance as each country is different and each culture might consider different things as important.

For me an air condition is a must so I always make sure that the hotel offers one, as I know that in some places it’s not as important as it is to me. If you can cancel your reservation do so and look for a different hotel that offers irons and ironing boards (some search engines, like Trivago, have an option to show only hotels that offers Irons but in some you might need to ask this in advance).

Do hotels in Paris have iron?

Parisian lodgings can be many things: charming, opulent, cozy, homey, and even outrageous. But keep in mind the following: Parisian hotel rooms tend to be small. Why do we stress this? Because inevitably, tourists who come from countries where hotel rooms are often staggeringly large (does anyone actually need two king-size beds in a double room?) are shocked when they check in to tiny family hotels in ancient buildings.

And it’s not just budget lodgings—even nifty boutique hotels can have snug rooms. Don’t be too hard on the management, however; most historic Parisian buildings are protected by city regulations that make it difficult, if not impossible, to make structural changes. If you absolutely need room to stretch out, ask for a triple or even a quadruple room (if they’re available).

Otherwise, consider an international chain hotel, where space and extra amenities are usually not a problem, or an apartment rental with a separate bedroom. Amenities Unless you are staying in a hotel in our “expensive” category, you should be prepared for minimal amenities.

Washcloths are scarce, toiletries can be few, and a few of the smaller hotels still don’t have elevators (and when they do, they’re often closet size). Assume that most guest rooms are large enough to sleep in comfortably, but you’ll have to do your yoga workout somewhere else. All of the rooms in the hotels listed here have in-room bathrooms with toilets, unless otherwise mentioned.

Now that we’ve prepared you for the worst, here’s what Parisian hotels do have (besides charm and personality, bien sûr ). Almost all have in-room TVs with cable channels and hair dryers in the bathrooms. Irons and hair dryers (if they are not in the room) can usually be found at the reception desk.

Almost all have hotel-wide Wi-Fi. Most hotel rooms have air-conditioning, which—as climate change sets in making weather less predictable and more extreme—can be a god-send, especially between July and September. Double check if you’re coming in the summer months; there’s nothing worse than a room on a non-air-conditioned top floor facing a noisy street making it impossible to open the windows at night.

Even if Paris isn’t quite as well-connected to the Internet as some other major international cities, free Wi-Fi is available throughout almost all hotels, and there is often a computer or laptop available for guest use in the lobby as well as a printer.

Some hotels even loan iPads or laptops to their guests.
Wi-Fi is also widely available in restaurants, train stations, and even public gardens.
While a continental breakfast (juice, coffee, or tea, and a croissant and/or baguette) is still the traditional way to start the day, many hotels now also offer a generous buffet that may include various breads, sweet buns, fruit, yogurt, ham, cereal, juice, and sometimes eggs and bacon.

Do hotels in Italy have irons?

3. Re: Irons in Hotel Rooms? 16 years ago It is in fact not customary for hotels in Italy to have irons or ironing boards in hotel rooms. Most hotels frown upon using your own iron – I guess for insurance reasons. My experience (at least in more upscale, business hotels) has been that if you ask the concierge to borrow an iron they normally oblige.

Do most hotels in Spain have irons?

We’ve been booking hotel rooms in Spain for clients since the year 2000 and part of that process is briefing clients on what to expect when they book their hotels in Spain and what extras they can ask for upon arrival. Because most of our clients here at Totally Spain come from the US, the UK, Canada and Australia, our advice is coming from an Anglo-Saxon perspective.1 Booking Hotel Rooms in Spain Our first tip is to be careful with what you ask for when it comes to beds and bedrooms,

To many non-Spanish speakers a ‘double room’ means a room with one large bed and a ‘twin room’ a room with two beds.
However in Spain, a ‘doble’ is a twin room with 2 beds usually measuring 0.90m x 2m.
If you want a double bed rather than a double room – you must request a ‘cama matrimonio’ when booking the room.

Even then, it will usually be subject to availability at time of check-in. A double bed or ‘cama matrimonio’ is usually queen-size i.e.1.5m x 2m. King-sized beds are 1.8m x 2m and are usually only available in junior suites or suites. If you want a king-sized bed and don’t want to pay the supplement for a suite, note that twin beds when pushed together are king-size.

Hotels often have special oversized sheets and bedcovers and will make up two twin beds as one large bed if requested.
Our tip to couples who value extra bedroom space is to reserve a twin room as these are usually assigned more space than a room with one double bed.
Remember that hotel rooms are quite small in central and southern Europe especially when compared with North American standards.

It’s important to know that hotels in Spain usually don’t guarantee a particular room configuration at the time of booking. To avoid disappointment we recommend that you check-in early (by 1pm). The exception here would be wheelchair-accessible rooms – which usually need to be requested at the time of booking.

Having wi-fi allows you to research your destinations, check maps and stay in touch.
If this is a priority for you in your hotel room, you many have to pay in some Spain hotels to guarantee good access as some hotels here charge extra for the service.
If the fees seem steep, you should consider hiring a mobile wi-fi device.

See our post on this here, Smoking rooms are now the exception in Spain and are always based on availability. If you are a smoker, you should request a smoking room when booking but also at check-in. You are most likely to get a smoking room if you check-in early e.g.

Before 1pm.
Want a room with a view ? Everybody likes views.
In many properties, views or exterior rooms are considered superior and have a supplement.
If you are offered an exterior room you usually get more light and views of course, but if it’s in a city or a built-up area it will generally be noisier as you’ll have traffic and pedestrians going by.  If you have a room that faces the interior, you’ll miss out on the views, but you’ll probably have a much better night’s sleep.

If you have a preference, request when booking and check in early. BTW We are often asked why the blinds or shutters are always down or closed in Spanish hotel rooms in the Summer – it’s to keep out the heat. Up high or down low? If given a choice, we recommend selecting hotel rooms in Spain on the higher storeys of the hotel to get more light and less street noise. Do Hotels Have Irons The bathroom – may not have a bath – check when booking and at check-in if this is important for you Not only are hotel rooms in Spain smaller than say in North America – the bathrooms might be also. Many newer hotels in the towns and cities only have showers in the bathroom.

If you need a bath, be sure to request this at booking and check-in. And if you must have a walk-in shower, check whether your hotel offers this before booking. Do not assume they will have one.2 Checking-In To Hotel Rooms in Spain If you didn’t do so at booking, remember to ask about parking rates at check-in.

Parking is rarely included in the booking rate, especially in the larger Spanish cities . It’ll probably be 10-18 EUR per night for enclosed off-street parking. Remember street parking is usually free in Spain on Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday.

However, if you choose to park on the street, the same rules apply in Spain to valuables as in any other country – never leave anything in an unattended car.
Struggling with bags? Bear in mind that porterage is the exception these days and not the rule.
Don’t expect to find a porter and don’t be offended if no one in reception offers to assist you with your bags.

The exception would be luxury 5 star hotels which generally have a porter or bell-boy called a ‘Botones’ in Spanish named after the buttons of their uniform. How much to tip? Usually 1 EUR per bag – you can read on guide to Tipping in Spain here, It’s worth adding that our experience with customer service in Spanish hotels varies greatly from hotel to hotel.

Customer service standards can at times be lower than those found in North America – so if you ever encounter what you might regard as less-than-perfect customer service, please don’t take it to heart.
From our experience, empathy doesn’t often come naturally to some hotel reception staff.
Our advice is to be friendly and patient which we find leads to much better results.

We’ve said it already but we’ll say it again – if you do nothing else – our pro-tip to getting a great room is to check in by 1pm, This is when the best choice of rooms are available. You can store your luggage in reception at the hotel if your room is not ready but do try to get there early if you can. Do Hotels Have Irons Arriving to your hotel early is one of the best ways to get the best room!

The opening and closing of the pool for the season may be dictated by the local weather conditions or by a particular calendar date.
Check when booking.
Also because a hotel says it has a pool don’t assume that it will be a large pool.
In city hotels for example indoor pools tend to be quite small and are often ‘dipping’ pools rather than ‘swimming pools’.

An iron is considered a fire hazard and is rarely available in hotel rooms in Spain. If you need an iron and you haven’t found one in your room, you can request it from reception. Tea & coffee making facilities are not usually provided in Spanish hotels.

Because kettles are not commonly used appliances in Spain, capsule-based coffee machines may be available but generally are only provided in hotel suites – the expectation is that guests will pop downstairs to the hotel bar for a coffee.
If you find that you need extra toiletries or towels, ask for them in reception.

Rooms in Spain will usually have a hairdryer in the bathroom – if not ask at reception. If one is not available and you are staying for a number of nights, considering buying a small one which will cost less than 20 EUR. Lots of hotels offer a pillow menu so if you don’t like your pillow, ask for a change.

If a certain type of pillow is a deal-breaker for you, make sure to ask whether the hotel can provide it before you arrive.
Can’t work the A/C? Air conditioning and heating in bedrooms can often be the cause for complaints.
Many hotels in Spain have a system whereby they switch the entire hotel over to heating mode during colder months and then back to a/c for other times of the year.

When the hotel is in ‘heating mode’ the a/c may not be available or may be poor. And vice versa. If you must always have a/c or must always have heating be sure to check that the hotel you are considering has a modern system that functions well. Spanish hotel workers such as chambermaids don’t expect tips. Do Hotels Have Irons In Spain, you’re never far from a great bar or restaurant 3 Should You Dine At Your Hotel? Breakfast will usually not be included in the basic rate for the hotel room. Always ask at check-in whether breakfast is included and if not, how much it costs.

Hotel breakfasts vary depending on the nationality of the guests they cater to – for example those catering purely to the national market may not offer a buffet breakfast because Spaniards generally have light breakfasts and often grab their first coffee at a bar. If you are in a downtown location and can’t or don’t choose to have a hotel breakfast – you can easily get a coffee, croissant or toast and a juice deal from one of the nearby bars.

If you are having a hotel buffet breakfast, then prepare yourself for some tasty cured hams and cheeses, and possibly Spanish tortilla, as well as fresh fruit, and coffee and pastries. Buffet breakfasts can generally cost anything from 8 EUR to 15 EUR per person so do be sure you want this option when booking.

Totally Spain is happy to book hotels for you with or without breakfast as part of a custom package and it can make a big difference to the final price of the trip. Local residents in Spain rarely go to their nearby hotel for a meal or a drink, and Spaniards staying in the hotel will generally eat and socialise outside their hotel, especially in the busier towns and cities.

Spain’s streets are always bustling with people until very late at night so whenever possible we suggest you go out and discover neighbourhood bars and restaurants. You can ask for recommendations at reception or do some research online (see our post on where to reserve tables online). Do Hotels Have Irons If you are booking a hotel because it has an outdoor pool, always check that it will be open if you are travelling in the low-season.

We can book you into the best hotel rooms in Spain – and ensure you get all the extras you need to enjoy your stay – whether that’s a walk-in shower, an outdoor pool, a particular pillow or a quiet room with great views.

Can I wrinkle clothes without an iron?

1. Toss Wrinkled Clothes in the Dryer – By far, the easiest way to dewrinkle without an iron is to go to the laundry room and stick the wrinkly clothes inside the dryer for 5 to 15 minutes on low to medium heat. For best results, lightly mist the clothes with water so they’re slightly damp, or place a few ice cubes in the dryer along with the dry clothes. Adobe

Is it worth ironing before packing?

Smooth wrinkles out of clothes before you pack them – If your clothes are already wrinkly when you pack them, a long stint in a suitcase isn’t going to do them any favors. Iron wrinkled clothing before you pack them. (If you use a steam setting, double-check your clothes are bone-dry before they go in your bags.)

What percentage of people iron clothes?

This statistic shows the results of a survey conducted in the United States in 2017 on laundry being ironed. Some 51 percent of respondents stated shirts and blouses are being ironed in their household.

Should you iron hoodies?

3 – Tips for Ironing Embroidered Hoodies – Do Hotels Have Irons Sweatshirts made from a cotton/poly blend (like most Jupmode hoodies) have a very low wrinkle factor. You probably don’t typically feel the need to iron your hoodies. However, if they’re made from 100% cotton, or if you just really like wearing freshly-ironed clothes, you might break out the iron.

Are non-iron shirts unhealthy?

Why You Need Formaldehyde Free Shirts We compare non-iron shirts to a genetically modified strawberry. All the parts seem to be there but it just doesn’t taste right. Similarly, the chemical modification of a non-iron shirt seems great, yet it leaves a trail of harmful chemical processes in its tracks.

Modified does not always mean better. Non-iron shirts are not 100% cotton as other shirt makers will have you believe. They are non-iron due to a strong chemical finish that is made of dangerous formaldehyde. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies formaldehyde as a human carcinogen.

These chemicals do not need to be listed on the tag due to their small percentage in the overall shirt. That is similar to the pesticides on your food, that does not mean that they are not there or creating negative effects to your health. Wearing non-iron shirts gives you daily contact to these chemicals through your skin.
