A printer, crutches and dentures were also mislaid by absent-minded guests, a survey by Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express hotels found.

Other items recovered from rooms have included £2,000 in cash, a Gucci watch, and a monk fancy dress outfit.


Hotel managers reported that around £2.5 million worth of items are left behind each year, with phone chargers and underwear the most-recovered things.

Each year, hotel staff find:

42,000 phone chargers worth around £630,000;

40,000 items of underwear worth around £200,000;

14,000 toothbrushes worth around £21,000;

11,500 pairs of glasses worth around £1.15 million;

5,000 hair straighteners worth around £500,000.

Jane Bednall, from Holiday Inn, said: "It's quite unbelievable just how much is left behind by our guests each year. The phone chargers would easily stretch across the English Channel.

"Most items are not re-claimed and after six months we donate anything of value to local charities."
