People shared their favourite hotel hacks inspired by this very clever curtain/hanger trick
It’s nearly always a pleasure staying in a hotel and getting away from it all. Except the hotels we stay aren’t always as nice (or expensive) as we’d like.
So these rather brilliant hotel hacks will definitely come in handy, clever little things you can do to make sure stay SO much better.

Brilliant.
My favorite hotel hack: Your ironing board is an adjustable height desk. Since the chairs are never the right height, use the ironing board for long hotel work.

My hotel hack is hang your shirt up on a coat hanger on the back of the shower door. The steam will help the creases fall out from it being in your case.

Best hotel hack: instead of touching the disgusting tv remote, wrap it in the shower cap!

My hotel hack is if you ever need an extra phone charger ask the front desk if they found one. They have a box full.

Use the dry cleaning bag in the closet as a dirty clothes bag to make packing it up and keeping it separated easier!

I always bring a 10' LAN cable and plug my laptop directly into the wireless router.

I wrap my hotel pillow with a hotel towel. Cause I sleep on my stomach and the thought of breathing in previous hotel visitor's breath or dribble from the pillow frightens me to the core.

Soak a towel. Wring it a little tight so it’s not pouring off the towel. Hang it over the ironing board in front of the vent/heater. No more dry hotel room.
