50 Times People Spotted Simple Yet Genius Solutions In Their Hotels And Shared Them Online (New Pics)
Booking a hotel can be both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. Every time you step foot in the lobby, you curiously look around to reassure yourself that you made the right choice. But when you’re bathed in smiles after being showered with kind and cheerful words, you know your stay just went from great to excellent.
The customer is king in the hospitality industry, and that’s why so many hotels go out of their way to give their visitors a sense of a never-ending adventure. Whether it’s genius yet simple solutions, hilarious pop culture references, or genuine acts of kindness, these gestures make people feel special and let them leave the place with the best memories ever. And fortunately, these efforts do not go unnoticed.
Today’s post is all about celebrating creative hotels and their staff who surprised their guests and took their experience to a whole other level. We at Bored Panda scoured far and wide across the web to bring you a collection of pictures that show how some hotels really deserve to be in the spotlight. So sit back, relax, and tell us what you think about them in the comments! Then, if you’re in the mood for some more hotel goodness, check out our earlier pieces right here, here, and here.

Signage Outside The Toilets At The Hotel I'm Staying At
Cool sign! But I first thought the trans one was someone holding their pee and had to go really bad
I didn't think that, but I liked your view better (as in it's funny, nothing to do with it being a trans symbol - I couldn't possibly care less which door symbol ppl pee at)
Load More Replies...I don't care who goes in there, but you all need to sit to pee. Nobody needs to step in piddle puddles.
So I’m not quite sure how I feel about this. I love the idea behind it but at the same time, genderqueer and trans people aren’t “whatever” or aliens. Just write gender neutral restroom, or even just “restroom”.
I don't think the sign meant to call any of the diagram entities a "whatever," but rather it was saying "whatever" as in "it doesn't matter - ie. just do your business and get on with life." It's clearly meant to be playful, rather than a simple, clear cut restroom sign. I think it's best sometimes to pick and choose our battles. Much like this sign is demonstrating, getting upset with it is more a waste of time and energy than anything else, especially when there are so many, many more things to be concerned with.
Load More Replies...The Rag - Clever Use For Old Rags In This Hotel
Great recycling idea. All my old t-shirts find their way into my cleaning basket, the grumpy old gits t-shirt is the best one for cleaning the car......
This is smart. Weirdly, I have yet to meet a child(nor man) that doesn't grab a nice clean white towel or a light coloured tea towel, to clean-up(aka smear around the floor/kitchen top) something that stains! Please don't ruin the good towels! Lol
You have hit on one of my biggest pet peeves! Why must they grab the nice decorative towels hanging on the stove when there is an entire basket dedicated to cleaning rags?!
Load More Replies...yep my mom collects towels from our gym (dont worry--they let her) to use as ozzy towels, named after our dog because our yard gets so muddy and we have to dry off his feet with the towels
I've encountered these several times too. Some used to be white and while clean, have gotten a bit grimy. Some were once dark, but now have bleach marks on them. Somehave a tiny little hole or a ruffles corner. But they are otherwise still perfectly usable towels/washcloths Usually they come with a mesh baggy you can put them in, after you've used them for particularly dirty jobs, so as not to ruin the good towels
People have laughed at me for years because I mend my clothes, even darn my socks. Some call me cheap or frugal, I call it living a sustainable existence.
A motel in Drumheller had these & I thought it was a super great idea!
Hotels can sometimes seem like wonderful places that let us forget about our daily worries. When hoteliers and the staff set out on a mission to make their guest's visits as memorable as possible, they come up with the most amazing and innovative ideas. This list proves that some of them really found the secret to success, and their results don't lie.
Whether they give out personalized freebies, remember to congratulate guests on their birthday, or simply offer a dose of refreshing light humor, such customer care goes a long way. Usually, all it takes to make people happy is coming across the simplest gestures and acts of kindness that make them smile. For many of us, these are the experiences that encourage us to take out our phones, capture all these pleasant surprises, and share our feedback with everyone online.
This Hotel In Kyiv
This is so incredibly sweet-- the Ukrainian people truly have big hearts. If anyone is asking why someone would be at a hotel in Kyviv during a horrible war, Anna Foster is a news reporter.
That's finding & showing love in a very hard place. Kudos.
My Hotel Phone In Iceland Has A Special Button That Will Wake You Up If There Are Northern Lights In The Sky
I already have this actually. In Texas, everyone gets a personal wake up call every time we have a chance to see the northern lights
Load More Replies...Wish the button could make the Northern Lights appear over my house:)
where I grew up, the radio stations/local TV late news would announce if the lights were out.
Yes this is true and we were alerted, jumped up and threw on some clothes and ran out to look. It was fantastic 🤩
When I was there there was a guy that ran down the hall banging on every door. It was in the middle of nowhere so the only reason people were there was for the lights.
I Noticed Something While Checking Into My Hotel Today
420 is hipster code for meeting up and smoking in pot in public to protest it being illegal
How young are you that you think it's a hipster thing?
Load More Replies...It was stoner code way before it was a hipster anything. An it didn't mean go smoke weed in public to protest it being illegal. Just because we smoked weed doesn't mean we were stupid js. LoL 🤣
It's based on proposition 420, which legalized medical marijuana in Oregon.
Load More Replies...😄 pot is legal where I live anyway. But you can only smoke it where you can smoke cigarettes
The room 420 doesn’t have a no smoking sign but the others do
Load More Replies..."laughs" only just seen all these comments. Wow. I was being sarcastic guys. Ohh and I'm 60 and first tried you know what over 40 years ago...
However, while we enjoy our lovely stay, people in the field know how tough this industry can be. Hoteliers want to be proud of what they do and want to make their guests return to their place over and over again, and that means spending time and effort to go the extra mile and continuously looking for new ways to stand out from their competitors.
Moreover, there’s an abundance of demands and etiquette rules hotel staff need to follow to make their visitors feel special. For example, prioritizing their requests is definitely at the top of the list. Workers are also often encouraged to offer friendly and welcoming touches to the customers’ experience, like offering luxurious crisp sheets or asking about their preferences around the in-room experience. Plus, guests often wish that the staff would anticipate their needs before they even voice them aloud — and these are just a few of the things people in the industry need to consider daily.
My Hotel’s Coconut Meteorologist
Hungry person with an axe and impressive willpower.
Load More Replies...I feel like every campground on earth probably has some version of this.
Load More Replies...What is the difference between coconut invisible and coconut gone? Better be safe than sorry. I ain't going out there to feel if it's still there.
In Scouts BSA, as a quick and easy "campsite device" for competitions, we would sometimes do a "weather rock" with the same principal.
Would you like to see someone husk a coconut ~ WITH THEIR TEETH?!? https://youtu.be/JQU6o4ooL5E
A fishing charter in Channel Islands, CA has this but it's a giant rock
On Arrival At The Hotel Room We Were Quite Surprised By The Imagination Of The Room Service
we went on a cruise where room service made a different towel animal every day
At one of the hotels, we had a new animal every day with a nice message from the maids. We started leaving them little notes too and started a lovely back and forth.
I hope you tipped them really well at the end, they most definitely went above and beyond.
Load More Replies...Is this the front desk? Yes, there's an albino alligator in my room. Please send meat.
Last time me and my family went to DisneyWorld, they did this at our hotel! Don’t know if they still do this though, as that was back in 2011 or 2012!
How many towels did that take is my question and do they show tutorials?
My Hotel Pool Has An Entrance Ramp For The Handicapped
How necessary! Inclusiveness, must be more prominent. Americans with Disabilities Act. This states public buildings must have access for disabled Americans. A hotel, is a public property.
Load More Replies...That's cool. I'm just curious how deep is the pool at the end there and the bouncy limits before a person in a wheelchair would accidentally flip over.
Many hotels that feature these have specially designed chairs for people to use. They don’t flip over easily and aren’t metal so they don’t rust or get too hot in the sun. I stayed at a place that had different sized ones for adults and kids.
Load More Replies...I am just imagining some person in a wheelchair with brakes off going "WEEEEEEEEEEEE!" **SPLASH**
It is. I travel a lot and am a full time wheelchair user and finding a hotel that has an accessible pool is beyond ridiculously hard! Even those with great accessible rooms and toilets etc seem to forget that disabled people like to swim too!
Load More Replies...This is so cool! As a disabled person myself I would love this. But I would like to point out that saying "the handicapped" is outdated and we don't like that term.
But while we’re used to seeing hotel employees looking all professional, the rules of hospitality are changing. Today, personalization seems to be the thing everyone in the travel industry is talking about. It can be anything from knowing the guest’s name when they approach the staff to specifically tailored offers that speak directly to the visitor.
"Clearly, personalization is where things should be going," Robert Cole, founder of RockCheetah, a hospitality and travel technology consulting firm, told PhocusWire. "The bottom line is to make it all about the guest and the guest experience, what they want to accomplish on their trip to their destination, and how the hotel can make that a better experience," he added.
This Was On A Lotion They Provide At My Hotel
Danny... as in Torrence? The little boy in "The Shinning". Ummm, hide the axes... 👻👻 " Come and play with us Danny".
This Hotel Room Knows Me So Well
okay but is the formatting of the checklist bothering anyone else?
There are very few instances in graphic design that call for centered text. This is not one of those instances...lol.
Load More Replies...Before I scrolled all the way down and read the list, I thought Wolfgang Puck had branched into condoms.
I've had a similar checklist on my door at home for a few years now mostly because I've adhd. In a big way. I read all the way through it every single day. The last two items that were added on was a couple years ago. 'Shopping bag' and 'Mask'.
My Girlfriend Took Me On A Surprise Birthday Trip
Am I the only one who is worried about how much it costs for them to maintain everything? Why am I like this?
Me too. Like who is taking care if those plants, how do they clean the hanging fish ?
Load More Replies...I can't imagine how peaceful it is there. It's absolutely breathtaking!
"There are so many opportunities for hotels to facilitate everything that guests could do, which should mean a greater share of wallet for the hotel and higher satisfaction levels, and surprise and delight, for the guests. That’s the great opportunity and that’s what drives customer lifetime value," Cole noted the possibilities that personalization can add to both hotels and their visitors.
"The best relationship to have with your guests is to make sure you can nurture the experience for them. Just asking those questions—why are you staying and how can we help you—is everything," he said.
The Hotel I’m Staying At Has A LEGO Model Of Itself
and then does THAT model contain ANOTHER model lol!
Load More Replies...The Pet Hotel We Used Makes A Journal Of Your Pet's Stay To Give To You When You Pick Them Up
Can already imagine what my three pups' would say: Milton: absolute sweetheart, followed the humans around picking up stuff they dropped. Dot: tried to get everyone to chase her and harassed Luna. Luna: was sketched out but then found another dog to stalk. The other dog was uncomfortable with this.
I love that. When my son was young, I'd drop him of at the daycare provider. She kept a notebook for each of the kids she watched. She'd send it home with my son. It described what he ate, when he napped, how they played. It was fun to read every night. Something to look forward to.
This is a rough translation, as I'm still learning Japanese, but the dog's name it Juno. Underneath I think it says, "Overnight journal"
Load More Replies...I dog sit occasionally and every night before heading off to bed I send a message to "Mom" from the dog(s), I forgot one night and got an" is everything okay?" message the next morning
Found This Sign In My Hotel
Ooooh! An "anti-gravity transporter system"! Wait until I tell everyone back home!
Have you heard about that new invention that gives you the power to walk through walls? I think it's called a "door"...
Dr. Gabor Forgacs, an associate professor at Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Ryerson University, Canada, earlier told Bored Panda that if hoteliers want to make their business truly unique, they have to think about many different factors to achieve this distinction. "On top of the physical parts (e.g. location, size, architecture, design and furniture), the intangibles need to fall into place seamlessly and that is a tall order."
The professor highlighted the details that need to be considered: "The colors, sounds, scents plus the ambiance are all perfectly lined up: what background music is playing, what designer aroma is in the air and have toiletries scented with; the choice of fabric for carpet, curtains and upholstery; the tone and level of voice of staff as they greet guests and communicate without judging requests or behaviors, etc."
Underground Hotel In Tunisia, Known For Being The Set Of Luke Skywalker’s Home
I've been there! It's very dark inside and actually kinda boring. It's also essentially alone in the desert so nothing to see either. They serve tourist excursion and serve up a stew. My Dad's lamb stew still had a jaw with teeth in it. Best just to watch StarWars if you want to see the place
!!!!!!! I was named after Princess Leia in star wars. My parents would LOVE to see this!
Should I go there? I don't like sand. It's corse and rough and irritating....and it gets everywhere.
My Airbnb Was An Entire House Built Inside A Barn
For someone who likes "nesting" in enclosed spaces, this is perfect! It's a good and different idea either way.
That jimmy better have a/c talk about double the heat 😆
Load More Replies...Haha. That's a common ploy to illegally build a house without planning permission
I'm not sure. It looks pretty cool, but I don't want my house enclosed in a barn. I want to see the weather. The birds. Green (or white). Trees.
Best of both worlds if the back is mostly doors/windows

The Banisters At My Hotel Were Held Up By Little Metal Men
Of course! I wondered why it was familiar
Load More Replies...The banisters at my hotel WERE little metal men holding up the balustrade.
These would be at the ministry of magic when Voldemort was in charge.
I kind of feel like Bo is just taking photos and adding captions. In another post it said that their school recently got remodeled and this was on the banister🤨🤨🤨
These are just Reddit lists reposted on BP. They have nothing to do with the content beyond occasionally changing a title or organizing the order into lists. So, the captions aren’t literal to the content when BP changes it. In this case, it was a post on r/mildly interesting
Load More Replies...While these things could make the guests want to grace the hotel’s doorstep again, the main reason a person would return to the place is if they left with good memories, Dr. Forgacs argued.
"Not necessarily a gold plated doorknob or the extra skirt hangers in the closet; best memories are created through interaction with people. If service excellence exceeds expectations, guests always remember that."
"Following up is a secret weapon," he explained. "Comping, offering a discount or an upgrade for a mishap is what a typical hotel would do. The better ones will always follow up with the guest and on top of a remedy, tell their plan how the mistake will be prevented from happening again."

Load More Replies...This Hotel Gives You A Rubber Duck To Play With In The Bathtub
Conrad hotels all have them too and you're even allowed to take them with you! Each one says the city where it's from so it's a nice souvenir for your travels.
I laughed so hard at your comment, if there was water in my mouth, I would have spit it out.

This Zipper Check Sign On The Backside Of The Door Of A Hotel’s Lobby Bathroom
Bro if I had a dollar for every time i wished for this I wouldn’t have any dollars but now I will
Am I going to Hell because I didn't think that the stick figure was checking its zipper?
Good call. I somehow forget at times and wonder where the draught is coming from 😂
Those should be on every door in every public place! They don’t even need language really. Your wife or partner will probably also let you know. Yes we do look.
A Bar Of Soap In My Hotel Bathroom With A Message To People Being Trafficked And Probably Prostituted/Sexually Exploited
I highly doubt, a kidnapped person is allowed anywhere close to a phone.....
Some trafficked girls are forced into prostitution where they use phones daily for contacting clients. So yes, they are using phones. This isn't just for "kidnapping".
Load More Replies...I worked for them back when it was NHTRC, and leaving things like this absolutely work. Especially in women's public bathrooms in places like rest areas, fast food, bars, and gas/truck stops.
No one believes me. No one is listening. He says I'm crazy and making things up. They stole my baby. And because I was unsuccessful at escaping, the courts make sure that my baby will never escape. No one helps. And that's the truth.
I once went to a hospital and was asked questions by the nurses that were clearly meant to help women who are being trafficked. Sad that they must get a lot of that in the area.
9 Laps Around My Hotel Floor = 1 Mile
The last thing that I want to hear is someone running down hall while I am trying to sleep.
I came here to say exactly this. I would be pretty peeved.
Load More Replies...Great, so I'm struggling along the corridor with my huge piece of luggage, turn the corner, and am knocked off my feet by some sweaty lycra'd idiot!!
Most people won't understand that bcuz they'd have to actually THINK. (72 laps = 8 miles... Eminem..."8 Mile"). All of us smart people have to explain the joke. Lol

I think that this is the Conrad Rangali Hotel in the Maldives.

Load More Replies...This is in Reno, Nevada (pronounced NevA(long A) da. It has a rock climbing wall on the outside a couple of floors up where you can climb to the top
I was born & raised there. We Nevadans hate it missed pronounced
Load More Replies...Finally, its two cards. All my local hotels have 1 card thats 2 sided. We've had kids run through switching all of them.
These have been a thing for the last 15+ years….? Oh but worth mentioning: similar signs that claim to want to save water or energy are just trying to cut business expenses - they don’t give one flying fudge about the environment
So? If they cut business-expenses by saving water, it still helps against water-waste.
Load More Replies...My Hotel Shower Had A Water Thermometer
You can buy shower heads with LEDs that change color based on the temperature
Load More Replies...I have used sharpie to draw a line to where the nozzle feels comfortable.
That's cool and all, but pretty pointless since most people go by feel.
True but now you can learn what your preferred temp is
Load More Replies...Uh if your skin is blue, the water is too cold. If your skin is red and blistered, too hot
My Hotel’s Sun Canopy Is Connected To A Wind Meter, Which Automatically Causes It To Retract When The Wind Speed Becomes Too High
Wait...do not all rent-out places do this as otherwise the renters eventually will forget and have the awning destroyed by wind?
I didn't even know there were automatic canopy closers.
Load More Replies...I need this !!! When it gets windy here things break . we've lost so many of those iron gazebos , and shepherd's hooks .
The Hotel I'm Staying At Has A Tiny Door That Says "John Malkovich"
There's a (quite old at this point) film called Being John Malkovich. Without spoilering a 23 year old movie, this door is a central part of the plot.
Load More Replies...haha that movie was so weird but good, I love they put the door there.
You'd have to watch "Being John Malkovich" Watched it along time ago.
In the film Being John Malkovich, the group must enter Malkovich before the end of his 44th birthday.
This Bathroom Door In The Holiday Inn Can Close In Two Positions
That is so clever. Way better than having two doors smashing into each other.
Plus, solid wood commercial grade doors can cost over a grand. I know because I wanted to build a drafting table recently and looked into using one of them for the project. If they save a grand per room by using only one door for the head, that is huge.
A lot of hotels in Europe do this. It allows for a smaller room to be made and thus maximise the number of rooms per floor.
The only problem is that the glass of the shower inbetween the toilet and the shower is translucent so you can still see the person in there
this is like: while john is taking a sh1tter in private peter can see martha shaving her legs in the shower...
If you wanna shower but don't wanna see your husband pooping at the same time. That is when they have to go for some reason
My Hotel Used To Be A Prison

Load More Replies...I'm Proud To Be In A Hotel That Doesn't Discriminate Against Little People
That is for a handicap accessible room, so that someone in a wheelchair can also have a peephole at the proper height.
I hope the bottom one is somehow connected to the top one, or else wouldn't the person in the wheelchair be staring at someone's crotch?
Load More Replies...I thought that too. My daughter works in a hotel. Walking down a corridor one day, I noticed several doors that hap peepholes way down the door. I told her it was cool that the hotel would accommodate little people with peepholes they could use. "Those are for people in wheelchairs, mom." she said. "OK. But good for little people too."
My apt has the same feature, but it because it's wheelchair accessible
Great idea if you wanna check someone's crotch before opening the door!
That hotel is considerate and well equipped. Good for them. But I absolutely hate people who suddenly escalates hotels who doesn't do that as "discriminating". No they don't, they're just poorly equipped or not as well thought. What's next, every hotels needs to have a braille next to their room numbers? The rest who doesn't have that are guilty of discrimination?? You gonna cancel culture all of them?? Stop sjw-ing.
No no no, if you don’t actively plan for every single disability of every kind, it is active discrimination *big eyeroll*

This Hotel Room Has A Digital Peephole
I can't imagine the security on these is high. So seems like a hacking risk. Someone could just be stupid - show a scene full of dragons or whatever - but could also be deceptive and make someone leave their room when it's not safe. I understand the wish to avoid the dangers of people being able to use the peephole to look into the room, but this does NOT seem like a good trade.
The indoor one just looks like a battery operated screen and camera. My only concern is the recording capability. Knock youself out: https://www.brinno.com/peephole-camera/SHC1000

This Hotel Clock Has Displays On Three Sides
Unless you can dim it all the way so it's invisible, this would drive me bonkers. I need pretty dark rooms to sleep

This Doorframe Is A Miniature Castle. It’s At A Hostel In Edinburgh, Castle Rock
I wonder if this is Castle Rock Hostel. I used to pass it sometimes and it looked really cute inside.
I'm pretty sure it has to be Castle Rock Hostel. The only other hostel at Castle Rock is a homeless hostel!

Yeah, especially if it is actually an old castle (or any pre-plumbing/electrical building)

This Hotel Sanitizes Their Remotes
Agreed. Mom's admonishment "You don't know where that's been" comes to mind.
Load More Replies...Bet they just slide dirty remotes into these unless something is visible
I feel like this is some kind of placebo effect experiment. I think, if the sensor worked, I'd use it through the bag.
Load More Replies...EVERYONE should sanitize their remotes, door knobs, car door handles, etc.
I worked as a cleaning lady some 20 years ago. Always made it a point to clean light switches, doorknobs (and the door itself, specially the parts where people push it), kitchen cabinet handles, fridge doors, phones, remotes and all kinds of stuff on a regular basis. Oh and especially the flush button on the toilet and the pullcord for the light and/or washer that's in the bathroom too, it's unbelievable how many people don't clean that ever! Clients would find it odd at first but then quickly realise how disgusting their landline phone is, or a door handle. It was later implemented in the company trainee course too
Load More Replies...That’s the first thing you want to wash even before checking for bedbugs and if the sheets are clean

This Postcard I Took From A NY Hotel Has Wildflower Seeds Embedded In It So You Can Plant It After You Receive It In The Mail
This doesn't seem like a good idea for a postcard. You should only ever sow local species, and I'm not convinced people would go through the trouble of checking which species the card has and if they're all native to the area they want to sent the card to. (As well as informing the recipient that they shouldn't sow them in some other place.)
Or, if it gets blown around as garbage, it'll decompose as well as promote conservation.
yeah I got one on etsy, they had also wide rage of compostable/recycled materials they made the cards from 👍

Lol, I think I'd buy goggles and be a constant pain in the a** because of doing silly things and sending signs to the staff and guests while floating above them
You're so very right about that! I'm down with you on goofing around like that. LOL
Load More Replies...I would feel anxious swimming above the people checking in
Load More Replies...I think it's pretty awesome. But it doesn't take much to impress me.
Just what I want, people looking up at my bloated corpse like figure flailing about with all the grace of a deflating balloon
Neat idea! I love the way the reception looks. I love the water look. But the pool above it can make some people insecure. They don't want others to see their stomachs or up under their trunks. I do like the idea though.
This is one of those things that seems cool on paper but in practice it's just an awful idea
At My Hotel's Breakfast You Could Choose How Long You Wanted Your Eggs Boiled
At the hotel, where I'm working, there is just the 7 minutes eggs on the breakfast-buffet. If somebody wants a 4 or 3 minutes egg, they have to sign first an own-risk declaration, before getting it.
This picture is from Finland, and our eggs don't have salmonella. All of our eggs are produced in Finland.
Load More Replies...They should also have a sign indicating how long they've been sitting out lol
That is so cool. I like my eggs boiled longer. This is perfect for me. I am picky when it comes to eggs.
Are 7 minute eggs soft boiled eggs🥚? I only like hard cooked eggs.
The Phone In My Hotel Room Has, Both, Pizza Hut And Domino's On Speed Dial
My initial thought was that the person might not know grammar rules for the English language, especially if they're not a native speaker. Then again, many native speakers don't follow the rules.

My grandfather's old house, which was on stilts due to being in a flood zone, had a tree that grew up through the floorboards on the (covered) porch. He had to pull some back and make room for it to grow but he didn't cut it down. I always adored the look of it, having something so lovely and alive so close to where I was also growing.
okay... I went to a baby shower that was a rentable room. It also had trees.

The Hotel I'm Staying At Has A Record Player And A Small Vinyl Selection In The Room
At the hotel I was concierge in we had old 60s/70s Dansette type record players in all of the public spaces, I used to keep them running, repair / service them and kept the vinyl choices moving around so no one area ended up without a decent selection. The guests loved choosing records and often someone would take on the duty of DJ for the evening. Piped music sucks!

None Of The Floors In The Hotel I Am Staying At Have The Number 4 In Them
The Chinese consider the number 4 unlucky, (like Westerners do with the number 13.) This is because in Chinese the words 'four' and 'death', sound the same.
They don't sound the same, just similar. 4 in Chinese is "Sì", death is "Sǐ".

This “Waste-Reducing” Hotel Bar Soap That’s “Designed To Eliminate The Unused Center Of Traditional Soap Bars”
When the soap goes into a small ring, the ring will break - soap leftovers... Better take your small soap-remains and simply place it on a new soap - it will stick on it.
They don’t stick nearly as easily as expected, especially if the new bar is rounded on top like most bars are. I’ve never managed to actually get one to stick.
Load More Replies...I don't see how this would make a difference - whether it's in the middle or not, you still end up with a small, awkward piece of soap at the end of its life . . . really any shape will do that.
I use the whole thing up until it gets the size of my thumb. Then I press it to another piece of bigger soap so I don't waste.

My Hotel In Columbus Ohio Has No 4th Or 13th Floors Due To Korean And American Superstitions
I always thought this was silly. Obviously, the building has both a 4th and a 13th floor; they're just labeled differently.
Well in western hospitals the 13th floor does technically exist, however the entire floor is empty or used for storage and no patients are allowed in there. I'm assuming the same goes for this hotel. 🤔

A hotel I stayed at in Washington State had one of these. Western Washington does rain a lot, so it makes sense.
I work at a hotel in Portland, Oregon. We loan them for free but always warn the guest that the locals who never use umbrellas, even during deluges, will know that you are a newcomer, most probably from California.
I learned if you ever need an umbrella for the rain, you can go to the nearest bar. Pay them a tip and ask if you can take one of the forgotten umbrellas.
