Can I drink hotel mineral water? Why not?

In fact, the water in most express hotels is drinkable. Why it is said that you cannot drink it is because of the following reasons. The mineral water in express hotels is very expensive, far exceeding the market price.

As for the price of mineral water in express hotels, first of all, when you check into the hotel, you will find that there will be two bottles of bottled water on the table. These two bottles of water are free of charge in most hotels and are given free of charge by the hotel. Generally speaking, there are two situations where charges will be charged. One is sparkling water in high-end hotels, or high-end natural mineral water, which will be sold as additional products.

The other type is a small private hotel. The business is not very good and the room rates are low. They can only make more profits by selling mineral water. However, the charges for the above two kinds of water are usually not too outrageous. If there is a charge for water in high-end hotels, the price will usually be marked on the price list on the table in the room. It is up to you whether you drink it or not.

As for the mineral water in private hotels, normally, even if it is doubled, that is, the price is doubled, or at most twice the price. And let me tell you, when you encounter it, the price is far higher than the market price. If you drink mineral water, you don’t have to worry. The mineral water in the express hotel is filled by oneself, and the quality is inferior.

Once I was at the front desk of a hotel and met a salesman who was selling me a water purifier, saying it was a reverse osmosis water purifier. This is specially designed for hotels, and the effect is very good. With it, hotels can make their own bottled water without having to buy it from mineral water manufacturers.

If you are still worried about buying the hotel’s own bottled water, I have a way to do it. When you see a mineral water bottle, look directly at the brand name, production date, manufacturer address, and water level and hydraulic level. If these If there are no problems and you can check, don't worry. There is a bottled water agent in each area. If the hotel does not get water from this agent and the hotel shows up again, it will be reported if someone finds out. The previous customer was prone to tampering with the mineral water.

This situation does happen. Sometimes when the forest is big, there are really all kinds of birds, although most normal people will not mess with the mineral water when they stay in the hotel. But there will always be a strange person who will do some tricks on it, and there are two types of people like this:

The first type, after drinking the mineral water, just because they don’t want to pay for the mineral water For those few dollars, you can directly fill the empty bottle with water, tighten the cap and put it back. The second method is to unscrew the mineral water bottle and add something else into it. This is relatively dangerous, because no one can guarantee that some criminals will put something in it.

In fact, manipulating mineral water is the most difficult thing for store owners. When we check the room, we can usually only find whether the fixed property in the room is damaged or missing, but it is difficult to find the mineral water. question. In this case, the best way is to check whether the anti-theft ring of the bottle cap has been opened before opening the bottle. As long as you twist the bottle cap, it will open easily.

If you don’t feel that the anti-theft ring has been torn, don’t drink it. Of course, in order to prevent the hotel from mistakenly thinking that it was you after you leave, it is recommended that you contact the hotel in time to explain the situation and ask the front desk to change it for you. One bottle. Final summary

It is true that you will encounter some troubles when you go out and stay in a hotel, but today is a society ruled by law, and there are many ways to solve safety issues and room fee issues. Maybe everyone is worried more about hygiene issues now. In this case, I can only suggest that you try to stay in a better hotel when you go out. Before checking in at the hotel, first understand the basic situation of the hotel on some review apps, and then consider whether to stay. .

If conditions permit, you can bring some personal items, such as bath towels and mops, including water and food, or prepare them in advance.
