A rise in popularity of ‘sleep tourism’ is giving hotels an opportunity to “shake you down” for more money, according to a travel journalist.

A rise in popularity of ‘ sleep tourism ’ is giving hotels an opportunity to “shake you down” for more money, according to a leading travel journalist.today, Eoghan Corry said hotels in Ireland, and worldwide, are trying to outdo each other by having the most ‘sleep-friendly’ rooms.

“One of the things they throw in now is ‘we have better pillows,’ which you might think is a basic thing - but there’s a market for it. “Some hotels put so many pillows on your bed that you have to clear the way unless you’d be sleeping next to the lightbulb.”Mr Corry said there are two key metrics to judge a hotel room on the quality of sleep it provides.“Oddly enough, some of the budget hotels put a huge investment into mattresses and let you buy their mattress for your own.
