MicroPilot Posted August 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted August 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2018 We have been provided with facecloths in every hotel we have ever stayed in, both UK and abroad. Yes, there are facecloths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msk1955 Posted August 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2018 ...waits for the first comment about facecloths not being hygienic to appear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen@stoneyard.co.uk Posted August 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2018 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.

I never understand why (U.K) hotels provide hand & bath towels, but never a facecloth. 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.

wowzz Posted August 30, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The American term would be 'wash cloths", and they are certainly NOT used on your face! For that reason alone, I never use them. Sent from my SM-T580 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangedRose Posted August 30, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 30, 2018 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.

grapau27 Posted August 30, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wait for it, wait for it. You will get bacteria and viruses from facecloths!!:confused:You could say the same about towels that the cabin steward or hotel maid has touched after cleaning toilets.

British face cloths are for the face. Flannels are for other parts of the body. Wash Cloths don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britboys Posted August 30, 2018 #23 Share Posted August 30, 2018 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.
