As described lovely quality fantastic price and super fast delivery what more can I say? Will definitely use this store again
Excellent value for money, lovely thick towels and easy to dye as pure cotton. I use them for baby spills and will make them into bibs for self feeding. Thank you.
Fantastic value....
Guest towels get handled constantly and washed frequently — often at temperatures and cycles that standard domestic towels weren't built for. The difference between a guest towel that looks good after fifty washes and one that goes thin after twenty usually comes down to the yarn, not the GSM.
Ring-spun cotton starts with a combing process that removes the shorter, weaker fibres before the remaining long fibres are spun into yarn. The result is a smoother, denser yarn that holds its structure through repeated washing. Open-end yarn skips that stage — it's cheaper to produce, and it shows over time. This is why ring-spun is the specification preferred across institutional and hotel linen.
At 500 GSM, these towels sit in the mid-weight range: thick enough to feel substantial in a guest's hand, light enough to dry efficiently. The 30 x 50 cm size suits cloakrooms, washrooms, treatment room vanity areas, and any setting where a hand towel is too large.
Available in three colourways. No minimum order.
Composition: 100% ring-spun cotton carded yarn | Weight: 500 GSM | Size: 30 x 50 cm | Care: Machine washable at 40°C
Complete the set: Match these with 500 GSM face cloths, hand towels, bath towels, and bath sheets for a coordinated hospitality linen programme.
Why does ring-spun cotton outperform open-end yarn at the same GSM?
Open-end spinning is faster and cheaper — short and long fibres are spun together without the combing stage that ring-spun uses. That means more loose ends in the yarn, which leads to pilling, shedding, and faster thinning. Ring-spun yarn is more tightly constructed from longer fibres only, which is why towels made from it hold their weight and softness for longer, particularly under commercial washing conditions.
Are 30x50 cm guest towels suitable for hotels?
Yes. This is the standard guest towel size for hospitality washrooms, treatment rooms, and en-suite settings where guests need a smaller, hand-drying option. The 500 GSM weight and ring-spun construction make them appropriate for environments with daily laundry.
What's the wash care for these guest towels?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners — they build up on cotton fibres and reduce absorbency over successive washes. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not bleach.
Do you supply in bulk for commercial buyers?
Yes. No minimum order across retail and trade quantities. For pallet or case pricing, call 01204 455755.
Can I order a sample before committing to a larger quantity?
Yes. A single unit order is available — there is no minimum. Order one to check the colour and hand before placing a larger trade order.
