I thought the $12 hostel towel rental in Amsterdam was a scam, then I did the math
Last month I stayed at a hostel near Vondelpark in Amsterdam and the front desk wanted 12 euros to rent a towel for 3 nights. I laughed at the guy and said I would just use my t-shirt. He shrugged and said "you will be back." Two days later my t-shirt was still damp from a canal swim and smelled like chlorine, so I paid up. Turns out renting was cheaper than buying a 15 euro towel at the shop down the street, and I did not have to cram a wet towel into my bag on the last day. Now I am wondering if I got lucky or if this is a normal deal in Europe. Has anyone else found that the hostel extras are actually worth the price once you add up the real cost of doing it yourself?
