TL;DR
Check the hot water and bathroom as soon as you arrive: in some accommodations, you may need to run the water for about 10 minutes before it becomes warm. Basic cleaning supplies such as drain cleaner, bleach, and kitchen cloths can be useful for families.
Check shampoo and shower-gel bottles in the bathroom, particularly when traveling with children, as they may be empty or diluted. For warm water in the evening, you may need to let the tap run for around 10 minutes.
If your room has a minibar, check its contents and whether drinks are included in the rate. Hotel staff generally handle cleaning, but it is still worth checking cleanliness when you arrive.
For family accommodation, pack a small cleaning kit with drain cleaner, bleach, and separate cloths for the kitchen and floors. It makes it easier to clean the bathroom and kitchen immediately after check-in.
