The hotel four towels (face towels, hand towels, bath towels,and bath mat) are the "invisible business cards" of the guest room experience. The quality of the towels directly affects the guests' stay experience and satisfaction. So, how can we determine the quality of the towels in the hotel?

What are the four towels in the guest room?

① Face towel: The smallest size and lightest weight of hand towels in the guest room bathroom, similar to the hand towels in the restaurant. Examples: 32*32*60g, 35*35*70g.

② Hanf towel: A towel for wiping the face (face towel), ranked second in size and weight among the four types of towels, but it is the most used and the most worn-out among them. Examples: 35*75*120g, 35*75*150g, 40*80*180g, etc.

③ Bath mat: Placed at the entrance of the guest room bathroom or beside the bathtub, and along the edge of the bathroom to prevent slipping. Therefore, the size and weight of the floor towel should be large and thick. Example: 40*80*400g.

④ Bath towel: The largest size among the four types of towels in the guest room, used for wiping and wrapping the body after bathing. Examples: 70*140*600g, 80*160*800g.

The common yarn counts for guest room towels include: 21S plain weave, 32S plain weave, 16S spiral, etc.; however, unlike bedding products, there are also single yarns and plies for towel fabrics. 16S spiral towels are the most commonly used yarn count in hotels. 21S is suitable for economy hotel, while 32s is commonly used in high-end hotels.

How to Judge the Quality of Hotel Four Towels?

1. **Look:** Check if the towel is finely and neatly sewn, if the loops are evenly spaced, if the color is pure and bright, and if there are any uneven shades.

2. **Touch:** Good towels feel fluffy, soft, and not slippery. They are soft and elastic to the touch, and do not shed lint when gently patted.

3. **Smell:** High-quality towels have no odor or pungent chemical smell.

4. **Test:**
① **Test Absorbency:** Hang the towel down, wet your hand, and flick the water onto the towel. If the water droplets are quickly absorbed and do not roll off, the towel has good absorbency. If water droplets roll off, it may be due to excessive fabric softener or poor absorbency.

② **Test Colorfastness:** Pour hot water (around 80℃) into a basin, then place the towel in the basin and rub it vigorously. If the water does not change color significantly, the colorfastness is good (slight linting during the first wash of pure cotton textiles is normal). If there is noticeable color bleeding, it indicates poor dyeing quality, which may have a certain impact on human health.

Hotel rooms typically provide four towels, and the choice of towels depends on the hotel's price range and style. Budget and standard hotels only provide face towels and bath towels. Business and upscale hotels generally provide four towels, and these are usually of a higher standard. Hotels of three stars and above also provide bathobes , which are categorized the same as the four towels, but with more styles.
