Paper money

Have been speaking to my sister who's eldest son recently returned from first time to Icmeler (in fact first time to Turkey)-had a great time of course!

Only thing he wasn't keen on was that the apartments (sis didn't say the name of them) were charging for replacement loo rolls!

Apparantly you got the first one free but had to pay for subsequent rolls

Haven't heard of this before, don't think it's a 'tissue' of lies

but has anyone else been subject to this 'inconvenience' ?

Alot of the hotels now do this, actually every hotel in Turkey that i have stayed in have done it.
we always went to the local supermarket & brought them there rather than paying the hotel direct.

Yeap normal practice, however as I work for a Toilet Roll manufacturer I always take my own, ensures I have space in my suitcase for goodies to bring home, also I like softness.

been to a/inclusive hotels all over turkey and never come across this , what i will say it is a good idea to carry tissue or wipes with you as a lot of the bars and resturaunts dont have it ,and if you go to a public toilet you pay at the door and the hand you a small piece of paper the sike of a stamp

Loo rolls

Ha Ha we went to Bitez Sept '05 and it was the first time we have ever had to buy our own, stayed at the Sirca got the first roll free - was not told it would not be replaced, came back after a day at the beach, busting as you do! only to find the cardboard roll was still there - empty :oops:

Apparently this phenomenon is peculiar to the Bodrum area!

I've never had to pay for extra loo rolls in hotels, but have always had to when going "Self Catering" is means what it says.

I have never come across this problem. Is someone talking bull :swear

No honestly, i have never paid for toilet rolls. Infact we have always had plenty. Looks like no bog rolls will be thrown if England win. If there is, grab some while you can :rofl

Happy hols. Anna xxx

I have always had toilet roll supplied by the hotel in a B&B, but have always had to buy it after the first rolls ran out in self catering.

I've never had to pay for more loo roll in Turkey. I'm getting tempted to add the pipe work to my loo at home so I can have one of those squirty things to give a cool splash where the sun don't shine. We haven't got room for a proper bidet but one of those would do a treat.

Incidentally, for anyone new to Turkey, used loo paper hanging around in a bin adds little to the romantic atmosphere, I find, so we always take a roll of small plastic foodbags to seal it in.

I must make more effort to stop dropping used loo roll in the bin now I'm home again or I'll be getting sorted out.

Have been to apartments before where they say that once your "allocated" loo roll is used you have to pay for any subsequent ones but cant say they have ever actually charged us for them. It is apparantly common practice with self catering :?:
