A woman who booked a trip away in Amsterdam with her best friend was excited to explore the city, but when they checked into their hotel, they noticed one big problem
Heading on holiday with your mates can be a lot of fun, but making sure you’ve booked the right accommodation for your trip can be vital. The last thing you want is to end up in a hotel or holiday home that doesn’t have enough beds for your group, or that doesn’t give you the facilities you need to enjoy your holiday.
One woman was left horrified when she checked into a hotel alongside her childhood best friend for a holiday in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, only to find there was one glaring problem. While the pair were excited to explore the city, they were left confused about how they would use one key part of their room.
In a post on TikTok, Yazmin asked her friend to show her where the shower was in their room, to which the other woman walked over to the end of the bed. The camera then panned to follow her, revealing a large glass column in the middle of their room that housed the shower.
This meant that if either of them wanted to shower while on their trip, they would have to strip off and do it in view of their friend, as the glass column offered no privacy.
Yazmin captioned her video: “Just two childhood besties having to watch each other shower.”
Commenters on the post were left equally baffled by the bizarre placement of the shower.
Even as some reasoned that the hotel room might have been made for couples, others said that they would still find it weird to watch their partner in the shower, let alone their friend.
One person wrote: “Even as wife and husband, I feel it’s weird to just look. Sharing is okay, but watching is a little weird.”
Another added: “Okay, but I wouldn’t even want my partner to have a full 360 view of me when I’m showering every time.”
While a third said: “I would feel awkward even being alone.”
Others joked the glass tube looked similar to the tubes that the main characters enter in The Hunger Games, with people asking if the shower would “take them to the arena” once they were finished washing.
More commenters were simply confused by the shower’s placement in the middle of the room, as it not only made things awkward for the two friends, but was also very much in the way.
In a follow-up video, Yazmin showed off the rest of the room, which included all the basics you’d expect from a room, complete with a large double bed, some chairs and a table, a sink – which was also not tucked away in its own bathroom – and a toilet, which was the only part of the room shut behind a door for privacy reasons.
The room also had a television that was mounted bizarrely on a white ornament that was designed to look like a tree branch and was attached to the floor and the ceiling.
