Inbetweeners' Simon Bird and comedian Jessica Knappett debate hotel etiquette

SWNS

The most divisive holiday debates have been revealed – including whether to pinch from the breakfast buffet and whether you unpack or not.  The research of 2,000 people who holiday abroad revealed 44 per cent are happy to snag some pastries from the buffet to enjoy later.  But 46 per cent wouldn’t dare pop a few nibbles in their bag before heading out for the day.  While 64 per cent will untuck their sheets around the entire bed before getting into bed, 25 per cent will leave the linen squeezed between the mattress and bedframe, keeping the sheets tightly tucked.  And 67 per cent think you should always unpack after checking into their accommodation, but 27 per cent are happy to live out of their suitcases.  The research was commissioned by Graduate by Hilton, a collection of hotels in university towns, which recently joined the Hilton portfolio.

00:00I don't want to argue with you, but this is a debate.

00:08Can I just have a hot water, please? I've brought my own tea bags, obviously.

00:15We're here at Graduate by Hilton Cambridge.

00:17Cambridge, of course, famous for its academic accolades and my old university town.

00:21Today we'll be settling the great travel debates,

00:24deciding once and for all what makes the best hotel stay.

00:27We're talking tucked bedsheets, robe etiquette and whether anyone actually ever unpacks their case.

00:41You absolutely must unpack as soon as you get into the room.

00:44Put in the work early doors, the rewards are obvious.

00:47No way. Unpacking cuts into quality relaxation time.

00:51You leave the clothes where they belong, in the case.

00:55Let's talk bedsheets. I like it tight, I like it snug, I like to slide into that bed like a letter into an envelope.

01:01I'm untucking every single inch of those sheets.

01:03I need to be free, I need to be able to move, kick a leg out like a normal person.

01:08I am a normal person.

01:10What about the robe, though? Surely you're wearing that slice of fluffy heaven as much as Posse.

01:15Yeah, in the room, of course I am.

01:17I'm everywhere in mine. Down at reception, even in the bar when I need a nightcap.

01:21Oh, come on, Jess, show some self-respect.

01:25So, help us set the record straight and settle these great travel debates.

01:29Are you Team Simon or Team Jessica?
