A lot of cheaper accommodation doesn't as they tend to wash in running water as it's considered unclean to soak in your own bathwater. Have a wee read of this LINK.
Plugs are often put in in higher end accommodation to suit western tastes.
I take all that list! Plus a bunch of DVDs for the laptop, Internet dongle, blanket in the car and a small hot water bottle!
I bought one of these a while back but haven't had a chance to use it yet.
It's a dual voltage Sanyo RN-38NF Electric Travel Cooker, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lDi4LUd4Rc.
Low cost and US regional flight and cabin crews have elevated hotel room cooking to a fine art trying to save a few bob.

No, it's an electric coil hob under a protective plate.
I've tried it out at home a few times and it works great.
It packs up small into it's 1.3l pot and being dual voltage and, with a universal plug adapter, it can be used worldwide (One can but dream).
Aircrew forums mention them a lot but I don't think Sanyo manufactures them anymore.
I bought mine on eBay from a Hong Kong dealer who had only a few left last year.
The main market for these sort of cookers seems to be the Middle and Far East and a lot of clones are available from online traders there.
The cooker works fine with all of my Al and Ti outdoor cookware.
If your in the market for something like it, the RK 501/SU (115-230v plus pot) or the RK501 (230v, no pot) hotplates from the reputable German manufacturer Rommelsbacher look good, try eBay or Amazon.
Happy trails...torc.

In my spell travelling on business in Africa I always carried my own mosquito net and water filter. Scenario one : powercut, room temperature rises, have to open window, or window broken or won't shut - malaria! Scenario two : staying with local friends, no bottled water, "our water is fine, don't worry!"
I think an induction would be more what I'd go for, for travel purposes - with a steel pot. No heat when the pot isn't on so really safe if you accidentally leave it switched on. Cheap too £30:

Toilet Paper! Just take a load and keep it in you pockets. It will save you in a multitude of situations...including bleeding out from a large cut!
I have been known to take a couple of self heating MRE's to avoid paying hotel prices for food. Hot plate seems a bit of a bulky solution, and induction depends on having the right cookware, which also is not light.
