It sounds as if they use heating pans. I think I remember in GoF 
Harry being grateful the beds were pre warmed by the house elves with 
heating pans. It's not so much that a hotwater bottle is too 
muggleish but that a heating pan warms a bed better. A hotwater 
bottle really only warms a small area of a bed unless kept against a 
person. A heating pan would get the whole bed toasty.
