An overnight stay in a hotel room has become a familiar experience for many, especially frequent travelers. Most people have likely wondered what items they can take from their room without feeling guilty. Interestingly, there are five items you can comfortably take from your hotel room without any hesitation.
1. Toiletries
Toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, soap bars, cotton buds, razors, combs, and shower caps are all single-use items provided by hotels. Guests can take these items without worrying about additional charges. However, it is worth mentioning that the quality of these items is often not comparable to what you would purchase yourself. So, feel free to take them if you like, but they may not be suitable for long-term use.

2. Disposable Slippers
Most hotels provide disposable slippers, which are meant to be used once and then discarded. Hotel staff will collect used slippers and dispose of them, especially in upscale and luxurious accommodations where hygiene standards are stricter.
The slippers you find in hotel rooms are often thin, fragile, and sometimes packaged in plastic for single use. In such cases, it is highly unlikely that the hotel will reclaim these slippers if a guest takes them home.
3. Bottled Water, Tea Bags, and Coffee
In hotels around the world, from luxurious to budget-friendly, guests are typically offered two complimentary bottles of water daily. These can be found in the minibar, on the desk, or in the bathroom.
Additionally, coffee packets and tea bags are also complimentary and can be taken with you when you check out. According to statistics from the UK, these items are the most commonly taken by guests, amounting to approximately £3 million in value each year.

4. Laundry Bags
Upscale hotels often provide laundry bags in the wardrobe, which are usually included in their laundry services. If you forget to bring a bag for your dirty clothes, you can use this provided bag instead.
5. Travel Guides, Brochures, and Maps
If you have some free time and are looking for places to explore, head down to the hotel lobby and look for brochures near the reception desk. The front desk staff can also provide you with information on local attractions, dining options, and often offer free travel guides and maps.
However, to be sure, it is always a good idea to check the room price list to ensure that these items are not listed as chargeable extras. In reality, they are usually included in the room rate. So, ask the hotel staff to avoid any potential issues later on. As for the rest, such as bed linens, towels, pillows, and any other items besides the mentioned five, it is best to leave them behind to avoid any trouble.
