Hotel Staff Share 7 of the Strangest Room Service Requests They've Ever Received

Breakfast in bed just got a whole lot more complicated.

People stay at nice hotels to be treated like royalty. To have cucumber water in the lobby, beds made and rooms cleaned at least twice a day, a constant supply of fresh robes and slippers that smell of lavender, and a kitchen that will bend over backward to meet every last room service request.

While hotel room service is inherently luxurious, according to the latest Hotel Room Insight Report by hotels.com , 75% of orders cost $50 or less, and 30% cost $10 or less. The report stated that most folks are ordering more casual, satisfying items like hamburgers , club sandwiches , and charcuterie boards. And yet, there are always those rare orders that leave hotel staff scratching their heads — orders that are so ridiculously specific that the staff just has to fulfill them in order to find out what the heck is going on in that room.

Here are the seven oddest, silliest, and perhaps slightly disturbing room service requests from hotel guests, according to the hotels.com report.

A caviar hot dog

Although it might not be an everyday lunch, a caviar-topped hot dog is a thing ( just ask Danny Meyer ). But to be clear, this guest was not asking for their hot dog to be topped with a bump of caviar . They asked for a hot dog, but instead of a hot dog, they wanted caviar. A hot dog bun filled with caviar. If someone can afford to eat a copious amount of caviar in one sandwich (depending on whether or not you believe a hot dog is a sandwich !), go for it, but the real question is — did they ask for any condiments? Mustard? Crème fraîche? Because caviar on dry hot dog bun sounds…sad. You can’t have expensive taste without any taste, my friend.

Five drops of vodka

No, this wasn’t a shot for Tinker Bell. Hotels.com reported that five drops of vodka were requested in order to treat a guest’s scratch. Where did they get this science? Unclear. Why couldn’t they just order a bottle of vodka or, I don’t know, a Band-Aid? We’ll never know the answer. I wish them a speedy recovery, though.

Burnt toast and bagels

Not trying to yuck someone’s yum, but I’m not sure who in their right mind would ever request a burnt piece of bread. Maybe they were trying to punish themselves or maybe they forgot their hockey puck at home. Either way, I don’t trust anyone who prefers their toast burnt.

Made-to-order breakfast for their dog

This is the only request on this list that I’m okay with. If you’re pampering yourself, why not also pamper your dog? I hope that dog was treated to a three-course meal, a Puppuccino, whatever spare bones the kitchen has leftover, and maybe a bubble bath while they’re at it. They deserve the best of the best.

Four pounds of bananas

The fact that they wanted bananas isn’t what bothers — it’s the specificity of the weight. A bunch of bananas is usually about three pounds, so four pounds isn’t even that much. But why four? What are you doing with that precise amount of bananas? Making a recipe? Smearing them into a face mask? Not to mention, unless this hotel is in the middle of nowhere, there’s got to be easier ways to find four pounds of bananas. This leads me to believe that there was a sense of urgency in their request. But why? There are so many more questions than answers.

Melted chocolate cookies

I prefer my cookies gooey on the inside. Sometimes I even intentionally undercook them so they have the consistency of hot cookie dough. But once a cookie is fully cooked, there aren’t many ways to soften them, let alone melt them. Please clue me into this new melt-all kitchen gadget they’ve been using because I might be interested in investing.

An Evian-filled bathtub

Tap water is for peasants, apparently. According to the Hotels.com report, a guest requested that the hotel staff fill their bath tub with Evian, a bottled water that contains natural electrolytes, so that they could “bathe their child in the purest of waters.” That’s the first time I’ve heard of a baptism in a hotel bathroom, but apparently, when it comes to hotel guests’ requests — expect the unexpected.
