Facecloths!

[MicroPilot]

So I know that, in a suite, you get robes. But:-

 

A) do you get slippers too?

B) are there facecloths? I never understand why (U.K) hotels provide hand & bath towels, but never a facecloth.

We have been provided with facecloths in every hotel we have ever stayed in, both UK and abroad.

 

Yes, there are facecloths.

...waits for the first comment about facecloths not being hygienic to appear!

[stephen@stoneyard.co.uk]

Facecloths do seem to be going from UK hotels. They are still usual in five star hotels but rarer in four star. Three star and budget almost never provided.

 

I think all UK based ships cabin bathrooms I have had facecloths with a few exceptions on Cruise and Maritime Voyages.

 

Best wishes, Stephen.

Unfortunately we have never been in a suite but always get a facecloth on P&O

Thanks all. I obviously stay in a lower class of hotel than some of you! :)

I LOVE that you call them facecloths! I asked at Wmart where the 'facecloths' were and the woman walked me over to the pre-moistened makeup remover cloths. ??? I guess where I live they are now washcloths.

Wait for it, wait for it. You will get bacteria and viruses from facecloths!!:confused:

I call them flannels LOL

[wowzz]

The American term would be 'wash cloths", and they are certainly NOT used on your face! For that reason alone, I never use them.

Face cloths are in all cabins on P&O.

Slippers, I believe, are available in suites. (From table companions on my last cruise, who were in a suite).

Slippers are also given to those Mediterranean Tier and above in the loyalty scheme.

Me too, I never use them however my parents do.

We have just got off Ventura and we had

Bathrobes, slippers and facecloths in our

Superior Deluxe Balcony cabin.

You could say the same about towels that the cabin steward or hotel maid has touched after cleaning toilets.

Oh dear. Somebody is trying to revive an extinct Hygiene thread.

We always call them face cloths.

Facewasher! ;p;p;pBut nan called them a flannel.

[brillo]

We are British so they are flannels, Wash Cloths in the USA are used for a very different part of the body.

British face cloths are for the face. Flannels are for other parts of the body. Wash Cloths don't exist.

Again, another thread where the OP asks a question, gets answers, no acknowledgement

[Britboys]

I used to call face cloths flannels but now that I have climbed up the social strata of course realise that flannels are trousers, often worn with a blazer ;-).

 

Seriously though, I agree with Stephen that the majority of hotels now no longer supply them. Like everything else, it is probably a cost saving in both procurement and washing. Its like most casual chain restaurants that no longer automatically supply a fork for dessert - just a spoon. I'm constantly asking for a fork nowadays.

Excellent piece of thread drift starting there!

How do you eat ice cream or custard with a fork?
