Got these in all properties now - stackable and can put in loose tea bags which is cheaper than the single packaged ones
This is excellent as it keeps it all tidy and looks great.

2.5l is small enough to fit under beds and big enough to last

Mostly use liquid soaps as if guests only stay 2 nights there is alot of wastage with soap - but sometimes you might need a single soap for the bath
We use these in all properties - alternative is bubble bath but can't find any suitable
Great value and now used in all properties as better than having stuck to wall and so big guests won't walk off with them
