Some Hotels Charge $5/$10 for Food/Drinks Brought to Room?
Is this normal? I've never heard of it.
I was staying at Queen Wood Hotel last week and I noticed this sign in my room. I can understand not being able to lounge out in their lobby having a party or bringing a picnic to their restaurant, but surely you'd be allowed to eat and drink whatever you want in your room without having to pay extra.
Just to make sure I was reading it right, I asked them about it and they said it was the rules. The lady at the front desk was finally kind enough to say, "if it's just a little bit of food, don't worry, I not charge you."
How kind.

WTF! Do they have their own bar and restaurant at the hotel, if they do then they're probably trying to discourage people bringing their own food and booze so that guests will spend money on the hotels rest/bar. Still, that's pretty fkin rude, I've never come across that sort of policy before.

Never heard such rubbish. You will have to slip your kegs under your T-shirt to get them through the lobby with no charge.
(A keg loooks more natural than a case of beer IMHO).
Actually, i think I know the people who run that place. Are they still charging $2 for crap coffee ?
If it's the people I know, they are great when they know you, but otherwise as tight as...

Establishments intentionally put surcharge on fat people, especially desert Ninjas.

Food can make the room smelly. As I know it's not only in Phnom Penh or Cambodia.

My guess, and this is only a guess, is that this rule is meant to apply to outside food/drink consumed in the hotel's restaurants/common areas or something like that, and that the rule is just written in an unclear way. I can't imagine that they actually charge people for bringing food up to their rooms. I don't know though.
A couple of guests at that hotel have died this year, it really is ground zero for sex tourists. More than a third of the tripadvisor reviews of the hotel rate it "poor" or "terrible."

It's probably a way to prevent guests like GM turning their rooms into KTV halls

Nothing to do with the smell; there are signs all over Asia that prohibit taking Durian to the room and I have no problems with that.prahkeitouj wrote:Food can make the room smelly. As I know it's not only in Phnom Penh or Cambodia.
I do have a problem with a hotel charging corkage for foods and drinks brought to the room and I would move out immediately.

I wondered why my hotel bill in PP was so high, the charge by circumferences .
