The hotel that I am staying at will not let guests borrow an iron, but want guests to use their maid service. I hate such nonsense as maid service at hotels and it's a lot cheaper, faster and more convenient for me to do my own ironing.

Really irritated - it's the first time that's ever happened to me while travelling. I really need that travelling iron in case this is some kind of general policy on hotels in this part of the world.

@CoffeeCup, the links that you posted are not working -- but I found the location on the map.
Is this definitely a real shop? Not the address of an internet business... ?

I am going to see if I can find a store in the MeraMax chain.

Stupid hotel!!
