In a recent video of his trip to the Mekong Delta, Quang Linh Vlogs amused viewers by commenting on the “tiny blanket” he found in his hotel room. Specifically, in the video, he spotted a small towel at the foot of the bed, which he proceeded to unfold and attempt to cover himself with. Quang Linh Vlogs speculated that it might be a “4-star hotel-style” blanket, while also questioning how one could possibly stay warm with such a small blanket…
Even when his teammates pointed out the actual blanket, he remained curious about the purpose of the tiny towel. In fact, many people, like Quang Linh Vlogs, are unaware of the true purpose of this small towel or may misuse it.
In reality, whether it’s a hotel, homestay, villa, or resort, you’ll often find these rectangular towels placed at the foot of the bed.
Surprisingly, these towels serve multiple purposes:
Enhancing the Room’s Aesthetics: These towels are typically eye-catching, featuring colors like red, yellow, or brown. In contrast, the bed linens in hotels are usually a subtle and gentle white. Thus, the vibrant towel at the foot of the bed adds a decorative touch to the bedding and the room, creating a visually appealing space.
Protecting the Bedding from Stains: Many guests enjoy snacking in bed. This habit can easily lead to spills or stains on the white bed linens. Therefore, when enjoying a quick bite, drinking tea, or even having breakfast in bed, it’s advisable to use this towel to protect the bedding from any mess.
A Place for Your Belongings: When you enter a hotel room, you often carry items like bags, backpacks, phones, cameras, hats, etc. The bed may seem like a convenient place to put them down. However, instead of placing these items directly on the white bedspread, use the towel at the foot of the bed. This helps prevent bacteria and dirt from transferring onto the bed linens, keeping your sleeping area cleaner.
A Comfortable Spot for Your Feet: Many guests, especially those from Western cultures, tend to keep their clothes and shoes on while lounging on the bed. After a long and tiring day of exploring, it’s understandable to want to relax on the bed fully clothed. The towel at the end of the bed provides a convenient place to rest your feet without worrying about unpleasant odors transferring onto the white bed linens.
