Some cheap European hotels are made like the expensive toilet booths where they basically just hose them down —-no fancy carpeting. All surfaces except the bedding are washable. Makes for easy cleanup and quick turnaround.
It’s not for everyone of course.
- SoftTalker 4y agoIn Europe it's not uncommon (or at least, it isn't unheard of) to need to bring your own bed sheets and towels from home.

- bbbobbb 4y agoSource? Because that's definitely not unheard of let alone common. In fact, as a European I've literally not heard something like that.
- dazc 4y agoOnly time I had to bring my own bedlinen was in a youth hostel. For some hotels I've stayed in though, it would have been a good idea.
- forgotusername6 4y agoThe only places I've heard of that do this are the most budget of holiday parks in the UK. The type of place where the TV is bolted down and you have to pay for your own electricity.
- switch007 4y agoSorry that’s absolute nonsense Did you have some weird experience that you’re extrapolating wildly?
- rippercushions 4y agoIt's definitely a thing in some European youth hostels. Never seen this in proper hotels though.
- kilroy123 4y agoWhere? I’m not trying to brag but I’ve been to all seven continents of this world and many places in Europe. Never once have I seen this.
- mr_mitm 4y agoI also doubt this. If the hotel has at least one star, providing towels is mandatory for them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_rating#European_Hotelstars_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_rating#European_Hotelsta... Presumably, bed sheets are so basic that they aren't even listed in the star criteria. Even in youth hostels, you may have to put the sheets on yourself or they might cost extra, but you don't need to bring your own.

- 12tvende 4y agoI live in Europe and have been to my fair share of hotels (though mainly in northern europe), and have never had to bring my own linnens. Never heard of it either. Its different for hostels tho
- otikik 4y agoNope, that’s not a thing
- rippercushions 4y agoNot sure why you're getting downvoted, since this is basically the operating model of Ibis Budget (fka Formula 1). Literally everything down to the soap dispensers in the shower is bolted down.
