 Asked for ID passport driving licence etc Has never happened to me before in a UK hotel Britain abandoned the national identity card scheme many years ago and there is no obligation for a British citizen to carry ID and I don t usually carry my passport with me If it is hotel policy that you have to provide ID then this should be stated on your booking pages Incidentally the Best Western in Bournemouth never asked so I am somewhat dubious this is the case 
 Highest concentration of plug sockets and light switches I have ever encountered in a hotel room 3 double sockets in the desk area alone Inadvertently switched the heated towel rail on but never managed to find the switch that did it to turn it off Despite the baffling array of switches very comfy and good value for central London Staff friendly
