It’s the little things!
My absolute pet hate too is when the taps are set right under the shower head.
I was just at a hotel that had the absolute WORST shampoo. I don't say shampoo AND conditioner because no matter how many times I asked for conditioner they didn't continue to bring it. So I washed my hair in the equivalent of dish washing liquid. I had straw hair that was as rough as sandpaper! I was saved when my friend gave me some super nice Kerastase.
I hate double vanities when it means that there is no room to put your toiletries. Who really ever uses a skin at the exact same time as your partner.
I just had my first visit to a few European countries and have found that they have no idea what soft toilet paper is. The Aussie stuff is perfection on your privates!
I was just at a hotel that had a heated towel rail and floor. Loved it!
One of my favourite bathrooms was the Park Hyatt in Cambodia. Near Ankor Wat.
