In case of emergency, always keep a pot of porridge on hand that you can cook with hot water.
She said: “If you don’t have a microwave, bring an instant oatmeal packet with you while traveling and use the boiling water from the coffee machine to have breakfast.”
Instant porridge pots can be purchased at most supermarkets for as low as 50p. This is a great way to save money.
Ex-workers warn that the hotel’s breakfast buffet is not what it appears to be.
Takeaway bags of pastries are a better option.
Here are the top hotel breakfasts around the globe.
Kat also shared her top tips on staying safe in hotels. She suggested that guests repeat their room number at the desk.
She continued: “Just in case there’s anyone around, you don’t want them knowing where you’re staying.”
This means that if you and your family are heard talking about your room only to be seen later at the hotel swimming pool, then opportunists can tell your room is empty.
Another safety method is to always use the deadbolt in a hotel room. Key cards can be easily hacked to gain entry to rooms. Also, check the room for any intruders before you settle in.
She advises that you always remove the decorative pillows and never place your suitcase on the bed because of the dirt it may have trundled around in.
Kat rose to fame when she posted her first video. It showed how to stay safe, and how to spot bedbugs, and it was viewed 6.2 million times.
She told ForbesThese videos were made by me to ensure that others travel safely and more comfortably.
“I was honestly shocked to see in my comment section on hotel tips how much people don’t think of germs when staying in a hotel. (I mean, thousands of bodies see those rooms!).”
A £1 door wedge has also been touted as something to pack for safety, as putting it into the door offers another layer of security.
A safety expert revealed that you shouldn’t book a hotel room higher than the fourth or lower floors.
