6 Conundrums Faced By The Modern Man
“Tip smaller on the way in and larger on the way out.”
Who should I tip in hotels and how much should I tip them?
"Tip smaller on the way in and larger on the way out. I always tip the bellboy a pound or two per bag on the way in and out. Give housekeeping about £5 a night. If the concierge has been really helpful, tip between £10 and £20 on the way out in a handshake. In the US, the general tipping structure remains the same, but keep lots of dollar notes on you because you'll have to tip everyone a small amount."
