Is it illegal to take things from the hotel?

It is illegal to take things from the hotel.

Stealing hotel things without permission is considered as theft. If the amount of theft is large, it may also constitute theft and need to bear criminal responsibility. As long as it is not your own thing, you take it away without permission and want to keep it for yourself, it is considered theft, but if the amount does not reach the amount of theft stipulated by the state, it does not constitute a crime.

Details of the theft are as follows:

1. As long as it's something that doesn't belong to you, it's theft to take it away without authorization and take it for yourself. If the amount of theft does not reach a certain standard, it does not constitute theft and is not punished by criminal law, but it needs to be punished by public security management; Theft, fraud, looting, looting, extortion or intentional damage to public or private property shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and a fine of not more than 500 yuan may be imposed; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for more than 10 and less than 15, and may also be fined less than 1000 yuan;

2. If the stolen amount is large, it may also constitute theft and need to bear criminal responsibility. Details are as follows:

(1) Whoever steals public or private property in a large amount, or repeatedly steals, enters a house, carries a weapon or pickpockets, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also, or shall only, be fined; Among them, the theft of public and private property value 1000 yuan to 3000 yuan belongs to "a large amount";

(2) If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; Among them, the theft of public and private property with a value of more than 30,000 yuan to10,000 yuan is a "huge amount";

(3) If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated. Among them, the theft of public and private property worth more than 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan belongs to "a particularly huge amount".

Therefore, to sum up, taking things from hotels is considered theft. If the amount of stolen goods does not reach the standard above 1000 yuan, it will not be subject to criminal punishment, but it will also be subject to administrative punishment, detention and fine.
