What you can do yourself for comfort in a hotel room: top 5 life hacks

Hotels are supposed to be sanctuaries, but sometimes it's quite obvious that your room doesn't look the way you imagined.

Luckily, there are simple yet effective ways to improve your hotel experience without putting in too much effort or draining your wallet. Whether it's a cost-effective trick or a creative DIY solution, these great hotel hacks will greatly enhance your stay, writes Obsev.

Keep your toothbrush away from the sink

Do you always try to avoid placing your toothbrush on the bathroom counter? The same rule should apply when you're staying in a hotel room. To keep your toothbrush safe from germs, there is a simple solution. Take a paper or plastic cup, turn it upside down, and make a small hole in the middle with the handle of your toothbrush.

Keep your shoes away from your clothes

Imagine you're getting ready to leave your hotel room and return home. Suddenly, you panic because you can't separate your dirty shoes from your other clothes. What should you do then? Just go to the bathroom and find an unused shower cap. Wrap your shoes in the cap, put them in your luggage, and you're done!

Make your room safe for children

If you're traveling with small children, it's a wise idea to include band-aids in your luggage. They can come in handy for keeping your hotel room childproof. Use the band-aids to cover any open electrical outlets so that your children are safe from the risk of electric shock. You can also use them to secure electrical wires or extension cords in place so that your children don't accidentally trip over them.

Freshen up the room with a car air freshener

Have you ever walked into a hotel room and thought it could use a little freshness? Whether it's odors from previous occupants or a stuffy atmosphere, here's a trick that never fails to work wonders. Put a vent clip in your suitcase and when you arrive, simply attach it to your air conditioner or heating device. Turn on the air conditioner, fan, or heating, and voila! Breathe in the wonderful scent wafting through the air!

Block unwanted sound and light

Take an extra bath towel from the bathroom or ask the cleaning staff for one. Roll it up and place it strategically along the gap at the bottom of the door. This ingenious trick not only blocks any intrusive light but also minimizes the interference caused by the noisy movement of people in the hallway. To be as prepared as possible, don't forget to bring earplugs and a sleep mask for those unpredictably noisy nights.
