In Europe, you will find that the first floor is not the ground floor, as it is in America, but rather what we would call the second floor. Elevators or "lifts" are usually much smaller than in the States, so if you are claustrophobic, you may prefer to take the stairs. However, you should find your room in the deluxe hotels to be spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings and large windows. You may even feel like the Pope in Vatican Square as you gaze out your window! And, to put you at ease, there should be at least one channel in English on the TV, such as CNN or the BBC.
You will generally find that extra towels, especially washcloths, can be in short supply, so you may want to pack a few just to have on hand. Also, don‘t be surprised to come back to your room at the end of your day to find a white cloth spread out on the floor beside your bed. This may seem an odd custom, but it‘s merely so you have a place for your bare feet when you get out of bed.
