Find out how many sets of towels, bedding and bathrobes you need per room to maintain top quality, smooth turnover and cost efficiency.

How Many Sets of Textiles Should You Have Per Hotel Room?

Planning to equip rooms in your hotel or apartment rental? One of the most common questions is: how many sets of textiles do I need per room to ensure smooth operations, maintain high standards, and avoid last-minute shortages?

Too few textiles = stress, inconsistent quality, and service delays.
Too many = unnecessary storage costs and over-investment.

Here’s a practical guide for premium hospitality properties!

1. Why one set isn’t enough

In a perfect world, one set per room might do. But in real-world hospitality, things are different:

• Unexpected situations (spills, stains, extended stays)

• Delays in laundry or delivery

• High guest turnover (check-out in the morning, check-in by afternoon)

• Laundry turnaround times increase during peak season

You need extra sets to maintain workflow and guest comfort—without stressing over towel counts.

2. Standard recommendation: 3 sets per room

✔ In-use set – ready and present in the room for the guest
✔ Laundry set – recently collected, being washed and dried
✔ Reserve set – clean and ready to replace any item quickly in case of emergencies

This is the most efficient model for textile management—especially in 4–5★ hotels and premium apartments.

3. What does a “textile set” include?

Bedding:

• 1 fitted or flat sheet

• 1 duvet cover

• 1–2 pillowcases

Towels:

• 1 hand towel (30×50 cm)

• 1 medium towel (50×100 cm)

• 1 bath towel (70×140 cm or 100×150 cm)

Bathrobes and slippers (optional):

• 1 bathrobe per guest

• 1 pair of slippers

4. Is 3 sets always necessary? When to adjust

Seasonality / Short-term rental apartments:

• 2 sets may suffice with low occupancy or longer guest stays.

Luxury properties and SPAs:

• Consider 4 sets to always have a fresh reserve and allow quick swaps.

Family apartments / larger units:

• Increase towel and linen quantities per person, adjusted to the number of beds.

5. What about storage?

• Ensure proper ventilation in your storage room.

• Use enclosed cabinets or covered shelving units.

• Fold towels and bedding loosely to prevent deep creases.

✔ 3 textile sets per room is the safe and optimal standard. It allows you to:

• Maintain seamless guest turnover

• Ensure consistent quality of service
