Romanian Sabrina Rova, 23, had been working at the five-star Hilton in Park Lane, near Buckingham Palace, on July 7.
Rova used the swiped credit card to buy goods at the nearby Footlocker store on Oxford Street, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Alex Matthews said the cleaner was part of an ‘organised crime group’ who stole jewellery worth £187,000 from one of the guests.

He added that the starting point for any jail sentence should be three years.
Rova, who appeared in court via video-link from HMP Bronzefield, sobbed and said ‘I’m sorry’ while holding rosary beads and praying.
Judge Nicholas Rimmer told Rova: ‘I know you are upset. You are not going to be sentenced today so I’m going to ask you to try and calm yourself down and listen to what is going on.
‘The criminality entails that whilst working as a trusted employee for the Hilton Hotel you helped yourself to £187,000 worth of jewellery from a guest’s bedroom.’
