Last year many places in Europe were hit by heat waves with much higher than normal temperatures. I dont doubt that the poster said they were sweltering in Copenhagen in May.

In May 2017. many places in Europe the temperatures were much BELOW than normal. We were shivering in Poland - all locals we met told us the temperatures were 10 to 15 degree below normal. We did not get some warmth until we reach the Baltic countries by end of May.

Due to Global weather disruption, the "normal" range of temperatures no longer is a reliable gauge, based on our trips traverse 3 Continents each year. Using an average chart to counter the poster's actual experience is meaningless because weather now changes every year, often to the extreme of the spectrum.

And yes, hotels in Europe do not have AC on until after Mid May is a major pet peeve to us as well - what is the point to have in room thermostats control the individual room's temperature if everything is centrally control for the turning on of the climate control system be it heat or AC?

We also dont appreciate some hotels use motion sensor to control the in room climate control device - this results to we often wake up by the overly warm room. As a result we combat back by turning the AC to the max despite we would put on more covers but this would keep the room from warming up so much so to wake us up say, at 4am...

There even How To Override Hotel Thermostat Settings found by googling - multiple of such videos. That tells you many guests have such needs.

Even Los Angeles Times, a major newspaper in West Coast, has article addressed such.

What the hotels and the modern hotels nowadays do, is to have the key card controlled electrical outlet.

The Continental Europe in recent years are getting warmer and warmer - therefore hotels need to keep up with that.
