Bunk beds in a hotel?

[ozziegiraffe]

Even my 30-something goddaughter wouldn’t sleep in my bunk bed for a night, but obviously some people must like them!

They're all very well if you are young and agile. Got landed with an 'overhead' bed in Morocco but as I can't kneel, I couldn't crawl into the bed so had to pull the pillow to the wrong end of the bed and ruin the carefully constructed photogenic room. Most uncomfortable night I've had for a while.

Now the issue is going to stay at son in laws beach house. Granddaughter too young to sleep in top bunk, me too old. Now granddaughter and I will share a bed in the parents room and they will stay in the bunk room. Hopefully she will decide I snore too much and she will decide to go and sleep with her Mum and I can have a proper bed all to myself.

One of the hotels in Canberra has a section full of bunk beds for the kids doing their school excursions to the capital.

The Pod in NYC has small rooms with bunk beds; I've stayed in them a couple times, and it was fun (but yeah, you make the younger person stay in top bunk if you're sharing). And I see per that article that the Ace does as well; I haven't stayed there as yet, it always seemed like it would be too much fun (i.e., noisy).

I don't think of the Ace or the Pod as "luxury hotels," though; they're trendy, but trendy and luxurious aren't really synonyms.

I’m definitely getting old. Like Whothingie, can’t kneel. And hate noise, so some work stays at the Travelodge near Central in Sydney were painful, as it is often full of student groups. And it doesn’t have bunks.

I also hate noise, which is why I haven't been to NYC in several years. The only hotels I can afford in the neighborhoods I want to stay in look like they're going to be party scenes.

There's nothing luxury about a bunk bed unless your 8 and your get to turn it into a fort.

Yes, I can attest to this. We were on our annual summer holidays in Sorrento, and one year the house we stayed in had bunk beds. I was thrilled and wanted to sleep "up the top". Mum wasn't keen, she thought I was too young, but I wore her down and got my wish.
It was exciting. I loved it.

How times have changed. I won't even sleep in the overhead bunk in an overnight train!

My mum and I had an early flight to Cape Verde last year so we stayed in a hotel at Gatwick the night before. It was a tiny (but functional) room with bunk beds. I took the top bunk and it was fine for one night. I wouldn’t want to do that for an entire trip tho.

And with your mum I bet it could be fun. But only for one night.
