Do British hotels charge per person?

Now in big city hotels - it is most often per room. But in smaller places it is pretty much 50/50 - some per room, some per person double occupancy. As others have noted, it is the smaller properties (family owned, out of the way types) that will charge per person.

Just understand that this is the exception, not the norm. And while it doesn't hurt to ask, it helps to ask nicely.

Yes, you should tip someone who brings you room service at a hotel. It is customary to show your appreciation for the hard work and effort they put in to make sure that your order was delivered on time and with accuracy. Plus, it's just good manners! A small gratuity of 10-15% of the total bill is usually appropriate.

So, the first main difference between a service charge and a tip is that one is mandatory while the other is optional. Another difference is how they're allocated. While service charge allocation is largely up to the restaurant owner's discretion, tips typically go directly to the server or into a tip pool.

Most hotels quote rates for the room, not per person, and a lot of hotels have the same rates for the room regardless of the number of people in it, especially in the US. Double occupancy doesn't mean two beds, it means for two people in the room--unless that hotel only had twin-bedded rooms.

Our room prices are set dynamically depending on the level of demand. The higher the demand for a room, the higher the price is likely to be. Generally, our lowest price rooms are sold well in advance and will not be available close to the date of stay.
