Guests at hotel asked to change English pounds for 'Welsh money' and for a male voice choir to sing to them during breakfast

Budget hotel chain Travelodge has published the weirdest requests made by visitors to its properties in Wales during 2021.

As part of an annual audit the firm, which has 26 hotels here, revealed a list of strange questions asked of its staff since Covid travel restrictions were lifted earlier this year.

They include the possibility of beds being removed from rooms and placed on the beach so that guests could 'sleep under stars', a request to be taken to the ' Gavin and Stacey house' and wanting someone to record them a mobile phone voice message in the style of Sir Tom Jones.

There was even an inquiry as to whether a male voice choir could serenade them over breakfast in honour of their grandad's 70th birthday.

Another asked if a champagne picnic at the top of Snowdon could be arranged.

One customer staying in the Cardiff M4 Travelodge also wondered where they might be able to exchange their English pounds for Welsh currency, while someone at Llanelli Central Travelodge asked if the team could arrange for their family to 'meet the Welsh Dragon'.

Staff at Wrexham Travelodge were also asked if they could arrange for a framed picture of the new owners of Wrexham football club - Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - to be put into their friend's room.

Meanwhile, at Bangor Travelodge a customer wanted his digs filled with daffodils as an anniversary surprise for his wife.

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokeswoman said: "Following the lifting of all Covid-19 restrictions earlier this year we have experienced a significant increase in bookings across our hotels.

"Our hotel teams have also received a high volume of interesting requests and questions especially around place names, local dishes, customs and traditions.

"Where possible, our hotel teams will go above and beyond to help customers as they relish a good challenge.

"However, there are some requests beyond their control."
