How do hotels prove you are over 18?

Hi
I've booked a hotel to stay in with my girlfriend (we're both 17) and after booking it realised it said you must be 18.
In England, how strict are the hotels on this rule? In the past I've given them two debit cards with the same name and they accepted that after I said I don't have any ID, how common is this?
Thanks

Totally depends on the hotel. Some will be adamant on receiving photo ID (in which case good luck), some really won't care.
There's no way of saying anything for definite, just hope for the best

Some are strict while some are not. It just depends on their policy. If you booked it online, showing them your card gives them proof of id but if you get someone of 18 to book it and show them that card, they'll be likely to accept it. It honestly just depends on the hotel but I think its common to some extent

Someone over 18 booked it, and the card is in their name, should I bring that with me?

Hopefully you booked alone and didn't list your GF... Turn up to the desk alone, dressed business like ask to check in and you probably won't be questioned, then get changed and bring her up.

If you look young, aren't dressed business like and you're with someone, odds are you'll be asked for ID
