You’ve had a stay, used the room, the water, and the sheets. Yet did you leave empty-handed? Whether it’s complimentary shower gels, tea bags or towels, we want to know what you’ve taken away, with or without permission (whether explicit or assumed). Of course some of the things taken are downright dodgy - we very much don’t condone theft - we just want to know if you’ve done it. Please tick all of the items you’ve trousered from a hotel room without specifically paying for them.

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
