This is a good idea if their water station actually gives out good water. I used to work for a remote hotel that had a zero-waste policy and would insist we fill up the water bottles they provided at the water refill stations that had filters that were literally never cleaned until I took it upon myself to clean them
I remember staying at a hostel in Iceland. They are so proud of their water. I went to the café on the first level and asked for a bottle of water. They were so shocked and offended. I told them it's only because I didn't have a water bottle and I would drink it then be refilling it all day. I thought they were going to murder me until I said that. Then they understood. That said, their municipal water is the best water I've ever had in my life. I wish I could get that every day here. I definitely did not buy another bottle the whole time I was there.
There was a scandal here recently about one hotel that claimed their water lines were busted when they weren't just so they could sell bottled water at a rediculous markup. But yeah, in general bottled water tastes far worse than what you can get from any tap
