I've seen shit like this in hotel rooms more and more in the last few years. It's like they've stopped trying to design a functional space entirely. They only care about how it looks.
Bro, have you never been in a shower? A commercial kitchen? A sidewalk even? They are all sloped to the drain.
Edit: To anyone reading this, please do not downvote a simple polite question, they did nothing wrong. You may downvote me instead, i probably deserve it.
I just watched a video yesterday on YouTube about a growing trend of hotel rooms for multiple people that don't even have a door on the bathroom, or just have a see through glass door. The person was talking about how they were starting to review bomb those hotels to make sure people avoid them like the plague until they actually start making privacy a priority in their room design again.
Also, any part of you not directly under the stream of warm / hot water will be cold because you aren't warming a smaller enclosed volume, just the whole bathroom. You need an enclosed space to get a nice steamy shower. I don't want to run the shower for 45 minutes to warm up the room.
These are designed to be as cheap as possible. Not only to build, but also to maintain and clean. Sliding shower doors can break, and are hard to clean.
Looks like your average Irish shower to me. Every place I've ever stayed in Ireland, they act like there's a glass shortage and only have like a foot or two of glass around the shower and it's never enough to keep the rest of the bathroom dry
I stayed in a place like this in Sydney and there was a drain in the middle of the bathroom floor. Apparently that’s pretty common here and so they aren’t really worried about wet floors because it just drains itself. But I agree it was infuriating to step on a wet bath mat
Just stayed at a Nobu Hotel, the bathroom was attractive, had a doorless shower. Walls on 2 sides of the shower pan, full glass on the 3rd side. Had a rainfall shower head. No matter what we did we ended up using 2 full sized towels and a hand towel to cover the floor/soak up all the water. The floor was also incredibly slippery when wet. Cant believe they dont have slip and falls on the regular.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they did, this bathroom also doesn’t have a floor drain so the water just sits there until the room service people come and mop it up
Stayed in a suite in a fancy boutique hotel a few months ago. The toilet was in an area with frosted glass door that didnt latch (like a shower door) and glass walls that went like 3/4 of the way to the ceiling. I guess people spending that much on a room never poo? We had to take turns leaving the room or go in the bar bathroom downstairs. But gee it was stylish.
Yeah, my flat had one of those barely two feet wide plastic barriers over the bath when I moved in. Bearing in mind I am 6'6 it didn't even reach my shoulders, heh. So I bought an adjustable shower rail and a shower curtain, and Robert is one of your parent's brother, as they say. While I appreciate it's my home and not a hotel room, both are crappy designs IMO, heh.
Have a hotel in my area, literally just built. Same thing, spout on the wall and only one glass panel to keep the water out with no door. Obviously water gets out
Yep. My wife and I stayed in a hotel in NYC in 2017 that had a glass door and walls... but the glass didn't go all the way to the floor, and there was no "lip" keeping the water inside. So every time you showered, it flooded the bathroom. WTF?!?!
Man you wouldn't believe my bathroom in Korea. There was no partition and my sink and mirror were literally in the shower. It would get so gross under the sink and was hard to clean. And if you had to use the sink after someone showered you were standing in a wet shower.
Im 100% sure this is made so you really don't enjoy taking a nice Long shower. You just want to get out of this wet shit as soon as possible. So you don't have to use your towels on the floor to keep it a bit dry.
Not to mention you can't turn the shower on without standing under the shower head. I know the water usually heats up pretty fast, but it's not instant.
Half the hotels I stay in are like this. I figure that if that's what they want, they must be OK with giving me clean towels every day...despite the little card asking me to reuse them.
I had a similar thing in a Holiday Inn in Chester. There was an ever so slight slant towards the drain end but the water just rode the raised lip on the side and ran onto the floor. I had to move the floor towel in the middle of my shower to have something dry to stand on afterwards
Years ago I moved to a flat that was recently redesigned and as soon as I took 1 shower I warned the landlord the shower design was making a lot of water to end on the floor of the bathroom and I suggested various ways to fix it and I even find the exact model of that shower screen and discovered it has a glass door they didn't use because the bathroom was tiny and they didn't want to use the space so it didn't look even tinier, but I measured and it could be installed perfectly, so I recommended them to do it vecause it would be way cheaper to install it than to repair the water damage it was going to cause
He said it didn't matter since he installed the floor and it was totally and perfectly sealed, just wipe it after showers and that's it
I did some non-destructive modifications by myself like gluing a plastic on the bottom corner of the glass to make the water flow back to the sink, wich reduced it like 80% but some water ended on the floor anyway
So I was there for just 2 months because other issues (The flat was totally just built to look pretty but they skimped on everything, it was poorly insulated, and everything was the cheapest possible) it was a 1st floor and the last weeks as I entered the building I could see perfectly how the roof of the entrance of the building was sinking and showing water stains in the exact point the bathroom was
They were cheap-ass and shitty landlords on every way who only cared about profit and I removed my modifications before leaving so just thinking that happened in just 2 months and with me continuously caring about reducing the water outside the shower, I'm just happy thinking about them wasting easily several thousands to repair the building just because they didn't wanted to listen to my advice
We stayed in one once that was an accessible bathroom - fine, basically the whole room was one giant shower stall, no issues there. It was actually kind of fun!
...Until we realized they hadn't put in any kind of grade in the floor to direct the water to the drain, so it eventually crept over and SOAKED the carpet at the bathroom door. It was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen and I'm sure every carpet in that hotel was ruined within months.
I absolutely hate showers that aren't "enclosed." I don't care if it's a shower curtain, sliding doors, or glass with a push/pull door, but I don't want cold bathroom air blowing into the shower while I'm shaving or something.
I once had a hotel shower with no lip on the floor, just the curtain. So you either had to lay down some towels and hope or just let the whole bathroom flood.

Fr like how hard is it to put a door on a shower 😭
I’m pretty sure most showers I’ve come across in hotels don’t have doors. It’s one less thing for the guest to break.
And easier to clean
Until the groutless tiles start to rot
To be fair, guests probably treat bathrooms so badly they need to be so regularly maintained or refurbed that it makes little difference.
Too many shower sex incidents likely involving slipping and broken glass.
What about a good ole shower curtain?
Glass doors break quite easily, its a liability and unnecessary expense, what they need is to have another drain and a sloped floor.
But where could you put a sloped floor in a shower that would not lead to an accident?

Maybe youre right. I dont see it in my shower.
Go to your shower and set a long level on the floor.
Looks really easy to clean though

Open showers and using barn doors that seemingly amplify all the bathroom sounds instead of muffling them

Premier Inn in the UK have a design flaw in the majority of the bathrooms that leads to the floor rotting around the base of the sink.
Seen that in pretty much every one I’ve stayed in, yeah. And a few hotels I’ve paid way too much for

I think we should start a petition to ban this crap
the visible confusion through hand gesture at the end made me laugh lol
The unversal hand gesture of “what the shit”
r/browtfhandsign
Meets the „0% Language 100% Understanding“ perfectly
Makes me laugh almost the same as this
Or this one
reminded me of that one clip where they played the car dashcam recording with a finger pointer
What one was great as well 😂
Watched it at work without sound, understood everything. Perfection
Sound is optional but highly recommended

This is in Melbourne Australia, almost all hotels ive stayed in here have showers like this

Was this the one in Cabo? They’re exactly as you describe there
Barcelona. Only one I've been to. I guess they must have really ran with the design. Lol.
I thought this was normal in hotels
does not mean it is still not a crappy design
Some people are trying to adopt the doorless shower thing which is amazing when it works but you need a particular set up for it and this isn't it
We are approaching the death of design I feel.
The builders probably stop giving a shit after the 5th room of a 150 room hotel.
Oh god imagine doing this work in a Vegas mega hotel.
I am on the 17th floor so you have a point lol
FUCK these half-panel glass sorry excuses for an actual shower door
Stayed in a suite in a fancy boutique hotel a few months ago. The toilet was in an area with frosted glass door that didnt latch (like a shower door) and glass walls that went like 3/4 of the way to the ceiling. I guess people spending that much on a room never poo? We had to take turns leaving the room or go in the bar bathroom downstairs. But gee it was stylish.
I don't get this no shower door trend. Why would I want to soak the entire bathroom?
Psych ward aesthetic 🤩
Should have done it with one of those tiny hands on a stick
Looks like the Residence Inn I just stayed in. I'm sure the poor staff love dealing with that.

I had a shower just like that when I stayed in NYC years ago. I also had to step into the shower to shut the door.
An open shower works but the glass wall needs to be at least 3x wider than the one in this video
My OCD germaphobe ass would have me jump out the closed window before I touched that water!
Have a hotel in my area, literally just built. Same thing, spout on the wall and only one glass panel to keep the water out with no door. Obviously water gets out
Bathrooms is one of the top things I check when booking hotel rooms because of that. It's as if they fear doors
I first started seeing this in Europe, but now I see it everywhere at home in the States.
I will choose a hotel over others if they have a REAL shower.
looks exactly like my hotel showers in the UK
Yep. My wife and I stayed in a hotel in NYC in 2017 that had a glass door and walls... but the glass didn't go all the way to the floor, and there was no "lip" keeping the water inside. So every time you showered, it flooded the bathroom. WTF?!?!

I feel like a lot of hotels in different parts of the world are doing same stupid shit.
Im 100% sure this is made so you really don't enjoy taking a nice Long shower. You just want to get out of this wet shit as soon as possible. So you don't have to use your towels on the floor to keep it a bit dry.
Saves them water and heating bill i guess?
At that point just put a drain on the floor and tilt it towards it
Not to mention you can't turn the shower on without standing under the shower head. I know the water usually heats up pretty fast, but it's not instant.
Recently stayed in a similar one. Pressure was nice though. And heat changed basically instantly. Very nice if you're used to 50 year old mountings
Lol look like a shower I get in bjorvika Appartement in Oslo, Norway
Most shower rosettes can be angled slightly, looks like someone tipped it while cleaning
Wait? I don't get it? Where is the crappy music background?
Where’s the fucking grout and is that a spacer still in the joint?
Looks like every AirBnB shower in Greece. Some had no glass half door at all, water went everywhere
I’m not gonna blame the Europeans but uh..
Looks like a Hyatt
I have a doorless shower in my house. But the shower points inwards so I don't have these issues.
Designed by Ai 😂

I had a hotel room in Queens earlier this year and my bathroom was the same way. made no sense
Most hotel bathrooms are designed as wetrooms, there isn't really anywhere for the water to damage so they don't care.
Watched this without audio and understood mostly but was like "maybe they explain a bit more" and watched again unmuted.
Well...
I've encountered stuff like this quite a lot, especially in Europe. I don't know what they are thinking.
I hate the half glass in hotels. I waste 2 towels and the floor mat to dam up the water.
Yep. Mopping the floor is a daily task in most hotel rooms. It's really stupid.
No words were pronounced but the understanding is universal
Aussie drain is so confused
I had a similar thing in a Holiday Inn in Chester. There was an ever so slight slant towards the drain end but the water just rode the raised lip on the side and ran onto the floor. I had to move the floor towel in the middle of my shower to have something dry to stand on afterwards
Nothing is inherently wrong with the design itself, however, it helps if you caulk any gaps where the glass meets the shower curb.
I hate this trend of glass showers and bathrooms in hotels! It’s the worst especially if you’re sharing a room. Just give me a damn door!
I stayed in a room exactly like this once. Designer is an imbecile
Years ago I moved to a flat that was recently redesigned and as soon as I took 1 shower I warned the landlord the shower design was making a lot of water to end on the floor of the bathroom and I suggested various ways to fix it and I even find the exact model of that shower screen and discovered it has a glass door they didn't use because the bathroom was tiny and they didn't want to use the space so it didn't look even tinier, but I measured and it could be installed perfectly, so I recommended them to do it vecause it would be way cheaper to install it than to repair the water damage it was going to cause

I saw a similar setup and will never stay there again. Water everywhere, a mirror so high up it was useless.
Showerhead is movable

I absolutely hate showers that aren't "enclosed." I don't care if it's a shower curtain, sliding doors, or glass with a push/pull door, but I don't want cold bathroom air blowing into the shower while I'm shaving or something.

You touched a hotel floor. 🤢🤮 ...a hotel bathroom floor.
Literally saw one in a hotel in Germany years ago. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t complete the glass door. 🤔
I had a similar shower once. No door and no privacy. Also the water always got out of the shower because of a slightly uneven design :/
Ideas good, execution not so much.
Haha our shower glass door ends too early so we had to put our own shower edge seals to stop the bathroom from becoming a wet bathroom
🫵
Why wouldn’t you just show it running instead of pointing at shit?
Bad design, but not your problem take pic and sent it out if they complain about it to you.
Do you think we're going to understand anything if you post a silent video and don't write anything to give any kind of context?
"what is he complaining about? it looks fine- ?????"
