Timing Your Request for a Wrinkle-Free Day
A little planning ensures your outfits are ready when you are.
- Before breakfast: The restaurant serves a free buffet breakfast from 08:00 to 10:30. If you want to step out looking polished right after, pick up your iron closer to 08:00. Departing even earlier? You can arrange a takeaway breakfast upon request for departures before 08:00—iron the evening before and you’re set.
- Ahead of dinner: The hotel restaurant serves dinner by advance reservation. If you’re dressing up, request your ironing set well before the evening rush so you can get ready at a relaxed pace.

What’s Already in Your Room (So You Can Pack Less)
You can confidently leave bulky bathroom kits and extra gadgets at home:
- Hairdryer and complimentary toiletries are provided in every room.
- Tea/coffee facilities and free Wi‑Fi help you prep and plan your day.
- Individually adjustable heating keeps rooms comfortable in cooler months.
- In-room safe for secure storage of valuables.
- Note on climate & storage: Guest rooms and common areas are not air-conditioned, but windows open for natural ventilation. Rooms do not include a minibar or mini-fridge; if you need to keep medication cool, reception can store it for you.
These amenities, combined with requesting irons and ironing boards at Tatenhove, make it easier to travel lean while staying polished.
Smart Packing Strategies to Minimize Wrinkles
Use widely accepted travel garment-care tactics to keep fabrics looking crisp:
- Choose wrinkle-resistant fabrics: Knits, blends, and certain technical weaves bounce back better than pure linens or silks.
- Roll, don’t fold (for many items): Rolling reduces hard crease lines; reserve flat folds for structured garments like blazers.
- Bundle packing: Wrap more wrinkle-prone items around a soft core (like a sweater) to reduce pressure lines.
- Use garment folders or packing cubes: They keep shirts flat and compressed without sharp creases.
- Hang promptly on arrival: Open the closet and let fabrics relax; natural ventilation from open windows can help release light travel wrinkles.
- Targeted touch-ups: Instead of fully pressing everything, focus on visible zones—collars, plackets, cuffs, and hems.
- Plan outfits by activity: Reserve your most wrinkle-resistant look for travel days and save delicate pieces for later in the trip.
Ironing Safety and Good Etiquette
A few simple practices protect you, your garments, and the room:
- Always use the ironing board provided; avoid ironing on beds or wood surfaces.
- Keep the area clear of bags, cords, and liquids. Choose an open space with good light.
- Never leave a hot iron unattended. Unplug as soon as you’re finished and allow it to cool before moving.
- Mind the cord path to prevent trips, especially in compact spaces.
- Check garment care labels and start with lower heat on delicate fabrics.
- Return the set to reception when you’re done so it’s available for other guests.
