A guest visiting a hotel in Latest Zealand says they were left disturbed by a “gross” feature of their room.
In an interview with the Latest Zealand Herald, the traveler checked into their room on the Pullman Rotorua once they noticed a frosted glass cubicle within the corner of their suite.
Behind the glass, just steps from the bed, was a rest room cubicle which left the tourist completely baffled.
“Is that this a cultural thing? It’s my first time visiting and I’m really confused at this architectural alternative,” they questioned in a Reddit group concerning the feature within the $183 per night room.
“There’s no privacy – the ‘stall’ door doesn’t reach the ceiling, is sort of transparent and doesn’t have a lock. Am I crazy or is that this weird?”
Most agreed with the traveler, commenting on how the limited amount of privacy would turn them off staying on the hotel.
“I don’t need my wife and youngsters to listen to me taking a s–t in that much detail,” one wrote, with others adding the toilet was each “gross” and “weird”.
“Stuff of nightmares,” one other added. “That, and windows that don’t open.”
It is known the unique alternative of fit-out is in the ultimate throes of being upgraded, with the Accor hospitality group — which operates Pullman hotels — saying “additional privacy solutions” will likely be implemented in March this yr.
It’s not the primary time a traveler has come across something a bit of bizarre after checking in to a hotel room.
In a separate thread on Reddit last yr, one traveler shared a photograph of an odd feature within the glass surrounding the shower cubicle.
“My hotel room shower has a circular cutout within the glass that permits you to activate the water without getting wet,” the Reddit user wrote.
The image alongside the post showed the person placing his hand through the outlet within the shower screen glass, demonstrating how you’ll be able to access the taps without stepping under the shower head.
Despite looking a bit of “bizarre”, the traveler said they were impressed with the thought, especially given how annoying getting the right temperature at a hotel shower could be.
