'Can you make sure the sun rises outside my bedroom window?' Hotel staff reveal the weirdest requests they've received from guests

Hotel staff have been revealing some of the most bizarre requests they've ever received from guests.

And it turns out that some customers are a very demanding bunch with requests ranging from making sure the sun rises to arranging for dolphins to be dancing in the nearby harbour.

The weird demands from the last 12 months were revealed by budget hotel chain Travelodge, which polled staff across its 552 UK properties.

And even though some requests were no doubt said in jest, the range of odd demands is startling.

For example, a guest at Cardiff Central asked staff: "Can you arrange for it to snow tomorrow as I want a white wedding?"

Staying on a weather theme, one staff member at the Covent Garden branch was asked: "Can you make sure the sunrises outside my bedroom window?"

Also in the capital at the King Cross hotel, one customer said: "Can you fill my bath with fresh goat's milk?"

While at the London Waterloo property, another mused: "Can you ask that the London Eye rotates in an anti-clockwise formation?"

In Windsor Central earlier this year, one royal fan asked: "Can you hold my place in the queue to Harry and Meghan's wedding whilst I go to sleep tonight?"

At the Torquay branch, one love-struck guest asked: "Can you arrange for the dolphins to be dancing at 9pm – the same time that I will be proposing to my girlfriend?"

And one of the most bizarre requests in Liverpool was from a wedding guest who asked one staff member: "Can you please get four of your team members to dress up as the Beatles to perform at my friend's wedding tonight as the band has cancelled?"

Travelodge also noted in the poll that as 50 per cent of customers are now made up of business travellers, this group can be the most demanding.

One guest on business in Newcastle asked: "Can you book me a water taxi to take me across the river as the traffic is bad this morning and I can't be late for my meeting?"

Another said: "Could you join a conference call to my New York office at midnight and take minutes?"

One particularly demanding guest asked: "Please can you rename floor four ahead of my stay as it is an unlucky number in my culture and put 8 gold dragons into my room for good luck?"

While another misguidedly said: "What is the altitude and longitude of the hotel? We are arriving by helicopter."

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokeswoman said: "With 19 million customers staying annually in our 553 UK Travelodge hotels across the length and breadth of the UK, our hotel teams receive thousands of unusual requests from business and leisure travellers.

"Where possible, the teams will go above and beyond to help customers. They do like a good challenge.

"However there are some requests that they cannot help with, such as: arranging for it to snow and to ensure all traffic lights are green for a business executive so that he gets to his meeting on time."
