Actually, it is the minimum you get away with in a four star hotel in Germany. In fact, business casual or better would be more appropriate for a conference hotel, but the casual style suggested in doco's post is acceptable during an event like ours.

Of course, it's just a suggestion. But we want leave a good impression, don't we?

This may actually come as a surprise to our younger readers, but yes, not everybody dresses like like a f*cking hipster, not even in Berlin.  ;D Unless it's part of your costume or you have an agenda of flaunting your lifestyle, it's best to default to casual street clothes, as this indeed isn't a stag party or a dance club, but a hotel you normally couldn't afford at age 20 in the first place.

Do you think writing stuff like this is a good way to represent this Convention? You're entitled to your opinion, but seriously, you're a staff member making a post in the public EF forum.

Oh dear I am a woman and wear those shorts, am old enough for gray hairs AND have a mohawk. Oh. Well then. (not offended btw, I choose to dress in a way and everyone can have an opinion on that xD)

I have to say though there is a time and place for everything. I felt it more appropriate to wear a dress with tights or long trousers when going to the hotel restaurants. Yes my hair was still louder than what they are used to ;) But dressing to fit the environment and ensure the comfort of all guests is a big deal to me. We DO want to leave a good impression so yeah despite being one of those darn alternative dressers...I see where doco is coming from. I adapt to where I am the guest, and I think that is good to keep in mind. (to those going "but sithy, ur identity!!11!" That ain't in your clothes and if it is: sorry real life works differently)

Adding to the post, remember your thank yous and pleases/dankes und bittes. The hotel staff work hard for us. Yes it is their job but a thank you goes a long way! I like to go through my room each morning, put stuff out of the way, make sure the floor is empty etc. It makes life easier for the cleaners, they only get a set amount of time per room. Be polite :)

Edited to add: I also look at the clothing advice more as a little tongue in cheek. It's funny :) !

Cheetah:
Everyone, please calm down. This is supposed to be a piece of advice, nothing more. It's not a new set of rules. You can dress any way you want, as long as it's allowed by the Rules of Conduct. This thread is not part of the rules of conduct. It's a suggestion, to be interpreted at your own discretion. If you think you know better, you are entitled to your own opinion.

Have a nice day :)
