Could not subscribe, try again laterInvalid Email Staff budget hotel chain Travelodge have lifted the lid on some of the most bizarre requests from guests from wanting a unicorn to help with VAT returns. The exasperating queries this year ranged from a younger guest asking what time the tooth fairy was visiting and a man wanting bagpipes as a wake-up call to philosophy books placed at the end of the bed to “look like home”. Despite its value-for-money rooms, Travelodge has attracted a string of well heeled guests with equally bizarre demands from a helipad for the boss and a run down of the stock market figures to an English into Spanish translation for a presentation. Some of the requests have been downright crazy like a guest in Oxford wanting a circular quilt or one in Coventry who asked for a white stallion to take him to his wedding ceremony. Equally barmy was the earnest man in Bath who was keen to find a unicorn to carry an engagement ring to his girlfriend.

Visitors also took some popular spots literally with questions like “Where can I find the Queen on the Royal Mile?” in Edinburgh and “Where are the limes at Lime Street Station?” in Liverpool. Travelodge spokeswoman Shakila Ahmed said: “With over 18 million customers staying annually across our 523 UK Travelodge hotels, our hotel teams receive thousands of unusual requests from business and leisure travellers.
