Nothing is better than checking into a hotel and enjoying the luxurious interior for a few days.
However, sometimes checking into a hotel room isn’t quite the experience you hoped for.
Reddit users have been sharing their strange hotel experiences, showing off the strange layouts and questionable design decisions of some hotel rooms they’ve experienced.
“At the hotel I’m staying at with my mom, the shower is open to the entire room,” one message read.
The user also added a photo to illustrate what he meant when he described the curious layout.
The photo shows the bed against the wall – and curiously the shower is in the same room as the bed.
While there is a small half partition over the bottom of the shower, the top of the screen is very open to the rest of the room.
Behind the shower is a door, probably to the toilet.

The user said his father was the one who booked the room, which happened to have twin beds.
Other users chimed in with their own bathroom layouts in hotel rooms they visited.
One user shared a photo of a Marriot hotel and pointed out a design flaw in the bathroom.
The shower had no door, with glass covering only half of the shower – which meant the bathroom ended up underwater.
“I understand the whole minimal modern design thing, but the design of the shower with only one glass on the side just doesn’t work,” the guest complained. ‘No matter how you adjust the shower head, water still leaks out. Has anyone else experienced the same thing or am I missing something?’
One user showed their room in a hotel in Amsterdam where the shower was somehow even more visible.
In the photo the shower is right in the middle of the room – strangely in a pipe and not attached to anything.
Worse, as many commenters noted, it was also right in front of a window that wasn’t frozen, with two chairs pointed directly at it.

Hundreds of comments flooded the thread sharing their thoughts about the exposed shower.
‘Oh, I stayed at this hotel many years ago and the look I had when I saw the shower. It inspired me to always check what the bathrooms look like before booking,” said one Reddit user.
‘This is going in all directions now and I can’t stand it. Typical ‘designer’ atmosphere where ‘it looks good’ but has no practical effect whatsoever,” said another.
‘Am I the only one who looks at photos and room types before choosing a hotel and renting a room?’ asked another. “I know there are emergencies sometimes, but a lot of these reports are people who don’t bother to investigate where they are staying.”
‘I’m pretty sure most hotels I’ve been to have gone to the trouble of showing you one generic room for that level and mentioning that they are not identical. So look before you book is still no guarantee,” another noted.
