What is the purpose of drinking water at washbasins in hotel toilets?

ToWhen we check into a decent hotel that cares about its reputation, we, in addition to a few standard bottles of water in the bedroom, can see a couple of bottles of plain drinking or mineral water, which is placed next to the washbasin. Why exactly does the hotel staff do this?

Explanations from hotel guests

In fact, everyone can name several options for the purpose of putting drinking or mineral water at the washbasin at once. For example, drink immediately when you suddenly wantwithout going into the bedroom rooms. Or rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth. Or maybe just wipe or wash your face?

However, there is a very specific reason why the hotel staff puts mineral water at the washbasin. But you need to understand that we are talking about the standards that high-class establishments adhere to - hotels with five stars.

Below is an explanation of the standard from the point of view of the operator of the well-known Spanish hotel chain Bahia Principe, which has a developed network around the world, including Spain, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Jamaica.

Explanations from hoteliers

This standard is followed by many well-known international hotel corporations around the world. But, of course, its observance is also relevant in countries and climatic zones with a low temperature regime. Such a standard should become a generally accepted rule of the global hotel industry.

So, it is believed that when taking a hot shower or a warm bath, the human body loses fluid similar to the loss of fluid when taking thermal procedures in a bath or sauna.

Therefore, an important point is the speedy restoration of the internal water-salt balance of a person. Having bottles of drinking or mineral water "at hand" is very convenient and allows you to get drunk immediately after a bath or a hot shower.

It is for this purpose and for this reason that you can see bottles of drinking water at the washbasin. Although many today use this water to rinse their mouths, which in some places is quite appropriate.

In general, we can say with confidence that it would be nice if many of the standards of five-star hotels "migrated" to a set of standards for establishments in a smaller class. For example, knocking on an empty room when checking into a hotel.
