22 January 2012 for laundry services you may be covered under 'Dry Cleaners' services as many hotels are also registered under dry cleaners services also. with regard to telephone charges, I think you are not liable to pay service tax but if same is included in room rent then have to service tax on same as now w.e.f 01.05.2011 short term accommodation provided by hotels are also taxable.
