The cost of popular vacation destinations is well known. We’ve previously reported on expensive sun lounge rentals and various tourist taxes.
Now, the head of a Spanish tourism school, Jesús Romero, is strongly criticizing an unnamed all-inclusive hotel on Gran Canaria after allegedly being charged five euros for using an iron.
He expresses his frustration on the Spanish industry blog Tourinews.
“I’ve stayed at many hotels – probably over 500 – and this is the first time I’ve ever been charged for using an iron,” he writes.
He explains that he had to both pick up and return the iron to the reception desk.
Romero highlights that he would understand such practices in budget hotels or hostels looking to cut costs, but believes it’s absurd for a large chain charging hefty nightly rates.
Gran Canaria is a favorite destination for Norwegians escaping winter.
Charter companies have reported that Gran Canaria is a popular choice, especially during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
