Many travellers revel in opening their hotel room door and taking in all the amenities on offer – a plush robe, gourmet coffee or luxury bedding. However, 35 per cent of global travellers take it one step further, removing these amenities and taking them home, according to a recent survey amongst hotel guests by Hotels.com.

While globally 65 per cent say they’ve never taken an item from a hotel room (excluding toiletries) it is the Danish travellers that come out on top as exceptionally honest, with 88 per cent saying they’ve never pocketed anything they shouldn’t from a hotel room. Among Indian travellers, 62% admit that they have never pocketed any hotel property. The common items which catch the attention of sticky fingered travellers include magazines and books.
