Try the 'travel' group.

But mostly miss. But we could occasionally call up to the front desk to obtain them.

What I mostly remember was that they were clean, but they were a little threadbare and didn't match! (Our hotel was fine, but very much a budget place).

encountered that. I was actually in Biarritz last week and as usual there was a hand towel and bath towel each.

Did you ask reception for towels ?

I wash my face with my hands, and then dry it with the towel I use for everything else.

I like a good rough wash cloth to scrub away dead skin cells. I feel dirty without it.

Or not everywhere.

The Westbury, in London (Mayfair). They even had heated towel racks. I'd love to go back someday, but probably won't.

I always buy some of the cheap white ones when I travel overseas and then just leave them when I leave. The last time I was in Greece
(can't wait to go back) they didn't have shower curtains in the shower and there was only a frame of about two inches high. Water all over the place. Someone said they though thought it was cultural and I remember thinking, (this was quite awhile ago) you've got a fax machine in the office but a shower curtain in "cultural"? As I said it
was back in the 90's. I have to say we stayed at a 5 star american
style hotel in Istanbul-were advised to do so by travel agent-and it was first class and not too much.

I just lathered up with soap by hand and let it roll.

I did mind the heavily scented soap. Man, that would knock you out and I was allergic as hell to it. I am used to Dove Unscented and the Italians, in particular, loved their heavily scented soap. So I traveled with a bar of Dove in my little plastic travel soap holder.

just realized, this morning, Saturday was my/our wedding anniversary! Got my tour guide out, which contains our itinerary.

So 34 years ago yesterday, we flew to Rome, 'tomorrow' rented car and headed around Italy, first stop after hotel in Rome (which Dad found for us,) headed to Hotel Caruso Belvedere in Ravello.

Buon viaggio!!!

Face towels were thin towels the size of our hand towels. Never found any smaller towels in the 4 hotels I stayed at.

Every hotel in the world provides towels. Yes, even European ones.

...in advance, and brought a stack of cheap washcloths for us to use and discard at each stop. It was smart. While I seldom use them at home, I find them handy on occasion and it's annoying not to have one.

No, I'm not Bill O'Reilly.

But a German friend finds them silly. His question; “do you use one when you wash your hands”? I still do not have a good answer.

And most showers there have heads on a hose to reach those more, uuhhmm, remote areas.

I use to take one with me. But now take only a carry on bag and every inch and ounce matters.

Just go with the flow.

When I was thin!!

That is something I never noticed I guess. I have no idea.

my daughter lived in Venezuela some years ago and she told me they don't use wash cloths there.

and are often not supplied.

Personally I hate the things.

and that's in dozens of trip to Europe over the years.

in Metz, Strasbourg and Paris and all the hotels had them. Same with Frankfurt, Augsburg and Munich. And they were all mid-priced hotels.

Whilst traveling, you must always know where your towel is, but no one ever mentioned a washcloth!

I took a few of course, and still use them.

I think the milleneals have absconded with our top sheets AND our wash cloths. I need mine to feel clean

I use them for my face. Especially helpful for taking off makeup.

If I ever travel to Europe (I have yet to go abroad-- don't have a passport) I feel I'd need to bring them (or makeup remover wipes) and a top sheet.
