In the past, there were thousands of different services in a hotel, from laundry to babysitting, American buffet breakfast, single blankets, valets, porters that knew foreign languages… Now there are some hotels that do not even have a reception: at the time of the booking, the guest is given a code to type on doors, and they won’t be seeing anyone during their whole stay. Also the minibar fridge in rooms is gone, because there are automatic distributors in corridors. Luckily, the requirement for fireproof sheets has been abolished, otherwise it was being planned to make a dispenser where guests could collect sheets and make their own bed. But there is the TV with Sky (and with its remote control).
