Wendy NatherPeople, I know you love to be creative, but DO NOT DO THIS to your unsuspecting, jet-lagged tourists. DO NOT.
yetzt@wendynather a layout that lets one person use the toilet while someone is in the shower makes sense to me.
@yetzt I’ll bet you’re not jet-lagged though
@wendynather best i can do is public transport lagged.
Leeloo
mattg@wendynather I like that so one person can use the toilet while another showers but... that only works if the toilet room also has a sink.
Maarten@wendynather Ummmmm… this arrangement is standard in Europe. Less so in hotels, but absolutely in private homes.
@thinkling It’s different when it’s a tiny hotel room. Never seen it before on this scale, and I’ve travelled and lived in Europe and the rest of the world. For the sake of jet-lagged people, they should at least have a warning sign that says “the toilet is back around the corner, right next to the front door, which you DID NOT SEE COMING IN because the door to the room OPENS TO COVER IT.”
@wendynather I recommend staying at the Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam. They have a room where the toilet is in the room with the bed, in plain sight! 😄😄 (Not my preference!)
Nicolas@wendynather @thinkling welcome to the netherlands.

@wendynather I'd strongly prefer that layout.... if it didn't mean the person who just (hopefully) wiped their ass needs to touch door handles before washing their hands.
The Turtle@wendynather years ago at a large tourist hotel in Orlando which shall not be named, I got a room that appeared to have no bathroom.
It had a big closet with sliding mirrored doors.
To get to the bathroom, there was a door in the back of the closet. You had to go through the closet to get to the bathroom. Nothing in the room gave any clue.
@the_turtle Not in Orlando, but my then-husband and I arrived late at night to a Disneyland hotel, and they gave us a suite, but only the half of the suite without the bathroom. I remember us going from room to room, opening and closing doors and saying to each other, “What kind of Mickey Mouse setup IS this??”
jsl@wendynather It's a French thing. They do/ did it a lot in the 90s when they built millions of ski resort appartments. That way, you can get a whole family through their morning ablutions in no time without requiring more than one toilet, one shower and 2 sinks (1 in the bathroom and 1 in the kitchen). Very efficient and I kind of salute them for the idea.

@wendynather Where's this? I think it's common in France.
Ben Aveling@wendynather Far more hygienic. Should be the only way it's done.
Michael ᚋᚔᚉᚆᚓᚐᚂ@wendynather @catsalad Very common in France and Japan for example. Flushing WCs do spray faecal matter. That is why the current UK water regs prohibit putting the WC next to the bath.
Many countries, such as France, believe spraying faecal matter near where your toothbrush lives is disgusting.
@baoigheallain @catsalad This is why I keep my toothbrush away in a drawer 😉
mossman@baoigheallain @wendynather @catsalad common in most countries AFAIK. Common enough for me to think "probably in the cubicle next to your bathroom" as soon as she started...
@mossman @baoigheallain @catsalad Yes, but it was around the corner behind the hotel room door, which swung open to cover it when I came in. Like I said, it’s not fair when you’re jet-lagged
