The "bed warming" service is free?
How much for the happy ending then?
Glad to see Holiday Inn is diversifying their services...

How long until the government regulates this. Then you'll have a real nanny-state to tuck you in.

Maybe someone could tell them electric blankets have been invented?

Air fare to London: £275
Hotel suite in London Kensington: £150/night
Kensington hotel bar for a pint: £5
Kensington human bed-warming service: free
Bed bugs: priceless.


In America we call them "hookers."

How F***ing lazy do you have to be to not be able to warm your own bed? I'm surprised they aren't supplying food chewers in the restaurant, and bathroom attendants to attend to one's nether regions.

Dutch oven...

:D

with my luck they'd send a bed warmer that was a susan boyle lookalike...

it's academic anyway as i usually warm my own bed by wetting it...

Man, my first thought is how creepy that is.

I can just imagine, some old doll on the larger size (warms more bed per sqaure foot): "'ere ya go dearie, warmed from the cockles of me 'eart."

This sounds like a great job for the thousands of unemployed Muslims who infest that increasingly stupid country. It's the kind of work they may be interested in since it doesn't involve working.

There are so few words to describe this story. Gross is the best one I can think of.
A Monty Python skit is another.

Do the staff have a hot shower in your room in preparation for this ritual? Do they use your towels?

And, who owns the Holiday Inn? Surely even an Englishman didn't come up with this one.

Hot water bottle?

Three Dog night????

Are they hiring?

feel free to google the stats on bedding in hotels across this continent regarding cum shots, bedbugs and other unpleasantries.

From the article: "Dr Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said the idea could help people get off to sleep."
Here's hoping that "get off to sleep" means something a little simpler in the British idiom.

Went to Sudbury once.

Stayed at the Holiday Inn.

This is a joke right? ... Please

Amsterdam has been offering this service for years. its by the hour though.

warm the cockles of your heart or the heart of your ......

if the Brits would just install decent central heating they wouldn't need it. how can a nation that built a great empire not sort out heating and plumbing?

We have used this for years: A mattress electric warmer and an electric blanket on the top. If there has been no heat on for a few weeks in the winter you need this more the first night. At a cottage of course. It takes a good day to get all the walls up to temp.

Hey, don't be looking at me - I'm just the piano player. But our house has been providing that service for years, and the hourly rate is quite reasonable.

I think that the happy ending would be when the freaks in the fuzzy white suits get the @#$!@& out of my bed.

Creepy...

Can't they just have a couple of heating pads to borrow at the front desk? They do that if you need extra pillows, blankets, rollaway, etc etc.. but then again that wouldn't get all this press and attention.
