Italian hotels: the bathroom

The bathroom of an Italian hotel

Hotel bathrooms are small and usually contain only a sink, a toilet, and a shower, sometimes (but not often) a bathtub. Showers and bathtubs may have a string attached to the wall to be used in case of emergencies (for example if you fall and need help). If you pull them by mistake (as my son once did) you will trigger an alarm, often very noisy. So, be aware of the strings!
