    • If you leave your towels on the floor, they will be replaced. If you hang them up, they will be preserved for reuse.
  • Energy: Remember to turn off the lights and television when leaving your room, and to close the windows if the heating is on.
  • Sorting: Please leave your recyclable packaging (paper, cardboard) clearly visible on the desk; our cleaning team will sort it for you. Bins are provided for this purpose.
