Hotel bedroom slippers

I brought them home but they will probably end up in the bin! Now, how to recycle them?

I'd have thought those flimsy slippers wouldn't survive a wash in the machine!

They are disposable. I occasionally bring a pair home..very handy for any visitors staying.

Just stayed somewhere that provided dressing gowns and slippers. The dressing gowns were obviously washed and re-used; we could buy them from reception if we wanted to. The slippers were new in a pack, surely not recyclable so we brought them home.

I recently bought a nice big cotton towelling dressing gown and the company also sold the famous "hotel" slippers...I think they were about £1.50 a pair..I bought some because as a person who finds drying feet difficult due to arthritis...they are really useful...out of the shower, on with the slippers and feet dry themselves!

I would assume anything washable will be done along with the hotel laundry.

Many years ago we stayed at the Pera Palace Hotel (of Murder on the Orient Express fame). There were bath robes that would have drowned a six footer and the bath had sides that were so high HymnsElf had to lift me in and out. No slippers though.

I rarely wear slippers anyway, no good for my flat feet. Even upmarket ones.

They're horrid cheap articles and are one-size-fits-all, so far too big for me.

It's terribly up market to stay in a Travelodge now (better class of bed bugs) - like going to Lidl - people do it so they can afford Waitrose - or go on a Cruise.

We stayed at Sveti Stefan in Montenegro. It was a a haunt of the rich and famous in the 1960s and 70s but a bit dilapidated when we stayed. We were given bathrobes but they were obviously for film star figures. My portly DP could not even get his to meet in the middle!

You and me both!!

I agree Ann the poshest place I ever stayed was a thistle hotel in London, it was lovely and old fashioned but no slippers or robes. I normally stay in a budget like travel lodge or whatever they call it now. To be honest I prefer a nice scruffy caravan so I can do my own thing. couldn't be posh if I tried

Some V posh people on Gransnet.

Galen That would be very kind
I'm
Have a wonderful time!

We had a bathrobe at home that looked suspiciously like the ones provided at a Tokyo hotel stopover when we went with DD2 and DS ....

I also have a pair of cheapie slippers that came in a pack from TK Maax, kept for holidays etc but have never been used.

Rowantree, the same thing happened to me when I took a flimsy pair to wear at DD's and I fell down her wooden staircase, luckily when I wasn't carrying her 1 year old.
Would never wear another pair again.

There will be two pairs in my penthouse, along with I bottle champagne, one bottle sparkling white, two one litre bottles of vodka, chocolate dipped strawberries, fresh fruit and flowers.
Less than three weeks to go!

I'll bring you a pair from the Queen Victoria if you're desperate Jane A. I never use them

We went on the QM2 18 months ago. The slippers were monogrammed and I really wanted to keep them but am pathetically honest, so couldn't just pinch them.
On the last morning we came back to our cabin and the next door cabin had been cleaned out and the slippers has been put in the see-through rubbish bags.
So I took mine home for a souvenir, but managed to take two right feet
Still wear them though!

They are not only flimsy but dangerous. I slipped in mine on a tiled floor and hurt myself, not to mention my pride (well, they aren't called 'slippers' for nowt....) . Since then I've been rather wary of using them and take non-slip slippersocks instead.

Stansgran are you seriously a 6 footer? Respect!

I'm going on a boat and also two overnight train journeys where I suspect or know the loo is not part of the accommodation. I was wondering if I could purloin a pair of said slippers to trudge to the loo. I wouldn't want to use my own. The bathrobes in that part of the world are not made for six footers. Hilariously indecent.definitely not to take away. @Mishap and golden girl I've spoken severely to the travel agent ,and I suspect he is a backpacker, that I'm not averse to serious luxury unlike my DH.

na they are disposables. Like the ones they give out in "spas" . Take them home along with the mini bottles of hand lotion or whatever. But don't take the bathrobe.

They are surely chucked!

They're usually cheap and flimsy towelling with a thin rubber sole - unless you're staying in an extremely posh place.
