I'm an ex-hotel manager – and there are two things you are allowed to take without getting in trouble | The Sun

A FORMER hotel manager has revealed the two things guests are allowed to take without getting into trouble.

TikToker Melly, who goes by the name @melly_creations, often shares her tips and tricks from her days of being a manager of a hotel.

In a recent video, she explained which two items holidaymakers can take from the hotel without getting into any hot water.

She said: "You're allowed to take the shampoo, conditioner, and soap from the room you're checked into, especially if you've already opened them because they're just going to get tossed out anyways.

"But if you're walking past the housekeeping cart, don't just help yourself.

"Instead, you should just ask, they'll be more than happy to give you extras if you want."

Another added: "Thanks! I've always felt bad taking an extra piece of fruit or muffin for my kids for the road."

One holidaymaker had already been taking advantage of the continental breakfasts, they added: "We go to hotels with full hot breakfasts. We eat downstairs, and then fill up our plates and bring them upstairs."

But some hotel guests weren't as lucky, someone else added: "I actually got stopped once when I wanted to take some food upstairs."
