Getting the guest room ready
Short answer: Two sets of bedding, two large towels and an extra blanket cover most guests. Put them out rather than asking.
Bedding that does not smell of the cupboard
Bedding stored for a long time smells of the cupboard. Wash it the day before guests arrive. See bamboo bedding.
Towels laid out on the bed
Two towels on the bed mean your guest does not have to ask for anything. See bamboo towels.
An extra layer at the foot of the bed
A blanket at the foot of the bed solves the guest being cold without saying so. See bamboo homewear.
Frequently asked questions
What should a guest room have?
Fresh bedding, two towels, an extra blanket and ideally a charger by the bed.
Should bedding be washed even if it is clean?
If it has been in a cupboard for months, yes. It smells of storage and that is noticed immediately.
How many towels for one guest?
Two per person, one large and one small. That covers a stay of a couple of days.
