Every hotel room is different in style and experience, nevertheless there are 10 hotel products that are essential in every hotel room. In this blog you can read everything about these musthaves that make or break the experience of the hotel guest.

1. Bed

We kick this article with a not surprising element in the hotel room, but immediately the most important thing; A good bed! The hotel bed is essential for a good night’s sleep, the goal with which guests in your hotel check in. Hotel beds have a lot to endure in the hotel room and are not only used to sleep on, it is often also used as a seat to rest or consume room service. A good bed is very personal, but there are good, flexible options that will ensure that your hotel gets 5-star reviews for the bed alone. In this blog you can read everything about choosing the right bed for your hotel. In the beds category it is also valuable to look at the possibilities for extra beds in the hotel room. A Rollaway bed is a good option to increase the Revpar, we explain this in this blog. Another very important factor is qualitative and clean bedding, read here about the influence of pillows on virus distribution.

2. Luggage rack

Unpacking the luggage is most likely the first thing your guest does when he/she arrives in your hotel. Hanging the clothing and installing the personal belongings makes that a hotelroom becomes a home-away-from-home. To unpack luggage comfortably, a stable suitcase rack comes in handy. When using a luggage rack, the luggage is at a practical height and it is prevented that the guest puts the luggage on the bed, so that dirt can end up on top of it. An additional advantage of the luggage rack is protection of the hotel room, a suitcase rack with a backstand prevents a suitcase from being opened against, for example, the wall or closet.

Our range contains a large selection of sustainable products, including a wooden luggage rack where one tree is planted by Weforest.org when purchasing 3 pieces. Read all about our Green Collection here.

3. Hospitality tray

What gives more a feeling of home than a fragrant cup of coffee or a hot cup of tea?! The Hospitality Tray offers guests the opportunity to prepare a hot drink in the room. There are many options and the appearance of the Welcome Tray, you can read all about that in this blog.

On the Hospitality Tray there are of course a kettle and or an espresso machine with accessories, look here for our products. Tips when purchasing a kettle can be found here, in terms of format and material there is a lot of variation and so there is a suitable product for every accommodation. There are also many possibilities for the anti-theft making the Hospitality Tray, we have written a blog about this.

4. Hotel safe

Safety is a very important feeling for the hotel guest; A safe (you) in the room contributes to this. The guest chooses a secret code himself and stores his or her valuables. Hotel safes come in different sizes; From suitable for a laptop to just fitting for a tablet. Nowadays, in addition to a secret code, there is also the possibility of closing/opening the hotel safe through the room key or fingerprint.

5. Waste bin

The paper or waste bin is not necessarily the most aesthetic hotel product but certainly essential. The lack of a waste bin can cause great frustration for the hotel guest, just like a container filled with waste from the previous guest. It is important to put the paper bin in a strategic place in the hotel room and to make it clear whether there are different recycling streams. In addition, it is wise to also put a waste bin in the bathroom, preferably a pedal bin or container with lid for, for example, hygiene products. Paper boxes and waste bins in general promote hygiene in the hotel and in some cases even support the sustainability of the operation. We write more about this in the Green Collection Blog.

That a trash can certainly not be ugly proves our personalized leather paper bins, there is a wide choice of different colors (art) leather and the leather can be provided with a logo or text.

6. Ironing station

During their stay the hotel guest wants to look good and a suitcase or travel bag is not the ideal accommodation for wrinkle-free clothing. By offering an ironing station, the guest can easily refresh his or her clothes or make it wrinkle -free. An ironing station can be equipped with a steam iron or a dry iron, the differences between these two are explained here in this blog. If there is no room for a ironing station in the room, it can of course also be offered in the hallway or another general space. It is also possible to make it available per issue behind the reception.

7. Up-to-date evacuation plan

A must-have that is not always thought of immediately is an up-to-date flight plan. A flight plan shows the current location, escape routes, fire extinguishing resources and emergency exits that should be used in the case of an emergency situation. A good flight plan is visible and understandable for all nationalities, so it is important to place the plan in a qualitative flight plan holder in a place that the guest passes frequently. Always ensure that the plan corresponds to the current safety situation.

8. Hair dryer

The bathroom is an extension of a hotel room and therefore the space where the last 3 must -haves of this list are located. The hairdryer is one of them here and is indispensable for many in the morning ritual. The quality of the hotel hair dryer is determined by the wattage, a low wattage is quickly experienced by guests as a low quality travel hairdryer, while a hair dryer with high wattage ensures powerful and fast dry.

Very practical and anti-theft is a wall-mounted hairdryer, which is available in various wattages and designs. A hand model can be elegantly stored in a so -called “hair dryer bag” in the closet.

9. Shaving mirror

Another item that plays a big role in the morning routine and is a musthave in the hotel room is the shaving mirror. The shaving mirror is a factor that often makes a good hotel review. The mirror can be adjusted as desired and, thanks to the often enlarging factor, very practical. In the meantime, a chrome shaving mirror is certainly no longer the only option, also versions such as brushed stainless steel, matte black and shiny gold are available. Other useful options on a shaving mirror are LED lighting and a heated mirror so that it does not cover steam. Discover our entire range of hotel magnifying mirrors here.

10. Guest amenities

Last but definitely not least in this top ten are the guest amenities; toiletries ensure the ultimate hotel experience. The scent and appearance contribute to the image and character of the hotel. Fragrance provides an instant memory and can immediately evoke an emotion when used. Bringing guest items with you, in particular hotel soaps is the ultimate (secret) souvenir for some hotel guests. A sustainable solution, also anti-theft is the use of dispensers or holders for (refillable) pump bottles. To ensure that the guest items are in good condition at all times, it is important to guarantee the shelf life, you can read everything about this in this blog.
