@egonw omg the transparant doors or walls to the bathroom!!! Straight to the gulags

@Gina oof... that's entirely sub-optimal... yet again I'm ashamed of and embarrased by my half of the species

Also for some reason there's a bathroom radiator in the room Zero esthetic, but at least it's toasty so I'll forgive them this crime.

@Gina @egonw
What the fuck are the floor to ceiling glass walls between the bedroom and the bathroom about.

Who the fuck wants to have to take a shit with an audience?

@Gina point taken on the shower head, but I can't wet shave my face without space on the sink or a mirror either... it is indeed a male design but also just very bad. I dare you to find a 3 star hotel!

@Gina you're clearly living the international jet set dream Gina

@Gina 230v in the bathroom

@Remittancegirl @Gina @egonw in France I've viewed that as a mark of a hotel specifically catering to people having affairs. And in a sense they're doing more than their part to end affairs, non?

@Tarnport I guess. Because one of the reasons my marriage has lasted almost 38 years is SPACE. SPACE and PRIVACY. @Gina @egonw

@Gina I know a hotel where they apparently forgot to add a toilet during the design phase, so they added it later - in the middle of the room

@Gina Pretty sure this was just build without any designs/plans.

@Gina I give the hotel star rating system one star ️

(It is just a checklist of available amenities, not a quality or even cleanliness standard!)

@oisin yeah but behind an isolating transformer.
@Gina

@Gina It's clear that people who design hotels have never stayed a night in one. The people running the hotel are often not much better. "You want us to send up someone to clean the bathroom?" "No, I want you to fix it so it doesn't flood everytime I shower".

@egonw @Gina
Back in the day (in the *cough* 90s *cough*) a small German hotel chain had all-glass shower cabins as a bulge from the bathroom into the middle of the room (like some elevator cabin, but round). They were spectacular and incredibly futuristic. And I guess these are the keywords here...

It would never be considered a 4 star hotel here.

@daltux it shouldn't be here either. I take it they have some amenities somewhere, but I've stayed in nicer rooms in hostels.

@Gina
In Ireland? Judging by the 230v shaver socket and assuming you didn't stop in Brexit land on the way.
