TL;DR
Hang items on hangers, bathroom doors, or the small drying cord in the shower; if none of that works, drape clothes over the edge of the bathtub or a table — most rooms don't have a proper drying rack.
One guest stretched their own clothesline between two armchairs moved slightly apart and received no objections from staff. They also reported that a clothesline could be bought at a mini-market.
One guest reported that clothes dried well on chairs when humidity was low.
One guest reported that a drying rack could be moved. They declined that option because a large planter already occupied their balcony and the rack would take up more space.
One traveler shares their own method: hanging clothes on hangers, bathroom doors, the shower drying cord, and even on a floor lamp if the items are light enough.
In a room with a balcony, the shower area had a small drying cord, though it's unclear how well clothes actually dry on it.
Another traveler admits drying laundry in hotel rooms is always tricky for her too; on previous trips she dried clothes on the edge of the bathtub or on a table.
