Can someone explain the turndown service in hotels please? I am in a lovely room in Thailand watching the rain and turndown has just occurred – a sheet was pulled back and a towel put in front of the shower. I always find this process ludicrous, verging on hilarious. Am I missing something?
What no chocolate on the turned over corner of the sheet? No tip there then!
No I’ve never seen the point either, especially without the chocolate!
It’s a chance for quick tidy up of the room – replace any towels and empty the bin.
Though I agree no chcolate (or water) is definitly the end of the world.
Is the expectation to tip twice a day if you receive a turn down service?
I’m currently enjoying my confirmable Suite upgrade at the Carlton, Cannes and the service has been terrific. Have been leaving a housekeeping tip in the morning but not for the turndown service.
Tip if you’re planning to use your suite voucher here – Try to book with points as breakfast is included (worth €100 for 2 and it’s very good).
Once upgraded to a suite most of the mini bar is free including 1/2 bottle of möet (not spirits or some wine). At least I hope I understood that correctly or my bill is going to be far worse than I’m already expecting.This reminds me of the time a friend of mine thought he had bought a bottle of Pol Roger in Brazil for £28 – he was feeling very pleased with himself until it was pointed out to him that he had actually paid £280.

I would hope they do a bit more than that! Fresh ice, water, close the curtains if it’s dark, remove any dirty cups/glasses etc. and of course refold the loo paper.
I usually have a chocolate Jenga tower by the end of a stay, or a brown smudge on my face depending on the libations that evening.

Oh, the morning disaster when you wake to find a chocolate wrapper welded to your face and the melted chocolate has managed to spread across four pillows and throughout the bed.
I especially love turn down service during summer as they come at 6pm to close the curtains and then I have to open them as the sun doesn’t set for several hours
