<\/span><\/h2>\nIf you’ve booked a holiday package, a transfer from the airport to the hotel is usually included. Look closely at the offers if a transfer is important to you. At the airport, a representative of the tour operator or the hotel will be waiting for you and will explain which bus you have to take, or actually accompany you to the vehicle.<\/p>\nTUI bus to the hotel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/span>Direct booking<\/span><\/h2>\nIf you book directly with the hotel, either by phone or on the hotel’s website, this is called direct booking. Hotels love direct bookings, since they have to pay a commission of about 15% per booking to external providers like Booking.com or Expedia. Direct bookings can be rewarded by the hotels with discounts, free perks, or something similar.<\/p>\n
<\/span>King\/Queen-size beds<\/span><\/h2>\nKing-size beds are common in the United States. In Europe, these beds have dimensions from 180 x 200 cm to 200 x 200 cm. Most of the time, there’s a single, continuous mattress, but sometimes there are two separate ones in a bed frame, which can be comfortable when your bedmate is tossing and turning. Queen-size beds are 140 to 160 cm wide and are also called French beds. The term “twin bed” refers to two single beds.<\/p>\nA king-size bed in one of our suites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/span>Taking “Souvenirs”<\/span><\/h2>\nThe bathrobe with the logo of the hotel is so great, the towels are so fluffy, and the toiletries in the bathroom smell wonderful. They’d make great souvenirs. But taking them with you is theft. You can often buy the bathrobe or other hotel items at the front desk. With the toiletries, one has to make a distinction: a used toothbrush or disposable razor can be tossed in your bag without hesitation. Taking unopened bottles of shampoo or shower gel, however, is stealing. but let’s be honest: Who hasn’t taken a little bottle from a hotel bathroom? They fill well and are great for hand luggage on air travel. At some hotels, especially around the Persian Gulf, your credit card will be charged a security deposit, which will be released after a quick check at check-out if you haven’t taken anything.<\/p>\nSo many nice things, but very little you can take home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/span>House ban<\/span><\/h2>\nYes, even in the hotel, you can get banned. The hotel reserves the right to throw out anyone who behaves blatantly wrong and can put them on a blacklist. Before this happens, you have to do something really negative: shouting for hours, being drunk in the pool, fighting, and other behaviors we know too well from football matches and folk festivals. Better to maintain a bit of composure and spend the whole holiday in the hotel!<\/p>\n
