Also, a nightstand beside the bed where you can place a small lamp for those who love to read, or write, listen to music or do any sort of thing before they sleep instead of having to get out of bed and turn the lights off.

2- Bathroom toiletries:-

Whether your guest has it all or not, you should always be prepared with all the bathroom essentials that your guest will need from toothbrushes, toothpaste, face towels, bath towels, soap, washcloth and if you want to really treat your guests royal like then give them a robe, bathroom slippers, scented candles and you can go a long way and get them some oils if they are a fan of bubble baths.

If your guest will share the bathroom with the rest of the house then place all of these stuff in a corner in the guest room to separate the guest bathroom essentials from the rest of the house, or you can create a nice guest bathroom essentials corner inside the bathroom.

3- Dress the bed:-

Use comfortable and soft sheets to make your guests feel as if they are sleeping on a hotel bed, you can use either cotton or linen sheets.
