Danish travellers are the most honest hotel guests while Ireland ranks 13th out of 29 countries surveyed. Data from Hotels.com has revealed that 10% of Irish people admit to taking linens and towels from their hotel room while 6% admit to taking a robe.

But 3/4 of Irish people say they have never pocketed anything.

In-room magazines, books, linens and towels are the main focus for sticky fingered travellers. But bathrobes, pillows, electronics, irons and even in-room furniture such as lamps and alarm clocks have also gone missing.

Alison Couper from Hotels.com said "While we all love that holiday feeling, it seems travellers in some countries are taking this a bit too far by removing a wide variety of items from their hotel room to take home with them as a memento of their stay".

"We should applaud the Danes as the most honest nation in resisting temptation, closely followed by the Dutch and Norwegians – assuming all respondents were honest when completing the survey" she added.

While more than a third of global travellers admit to removing hotel items, there are a few niceties that guest are willing to pay for: a room with a view (29%) and a balcony (17 %) came out on top.

The survey was conducted in January using an average based on a sample size of more than 8,600 respondents across 28 countries and cities.
