Tourists panoramic view from hotel room not as advertised, leaves viewers speechless

News.com.au2 days ago
When we go away, most of us long for a gorgeous sea view, or to be able to see the rolling countryside from our hotel room.
However, one holiday-maker didn't get quite what he was expecting on a recent break.
Brad Ben, from Dublin, recently took a trip to Galway and stayed in a modern looking hotel room.
Sharing a clip of the inside of his room on TikTok, Ben used the audio from the famous Jet 2 advert, narrated by Hollyoaks' Zoe Lister, and featuring Jess Glynne's iconic hit Hold My Hand.
It has become a popular trend to use the audio alongside a holiday 'fail'.
In the video, Ben can be seen strutting across his hotel room, before opening up his thick floor length curtains.
Where you would expect to see a large window, showing panoramic views, there was a teeny tiny square one, reminiscent of a ship's porthole.
'Appreciating those views,' he joked.
The view has left people in hysterics, racking up an astronomical 239 million views on the video sharing platform.
In a second video, Ben showed viewers what he could see through the window, placing his camera right up to the glass to show the Irish countryside opposite his hotel.
From a distance, it looks like the window is a small painting on the wall.
'She's giving Van Gogh', Ben joked.
TikTok users flooded the comments section of the video, to share their disbelief at the view.
One person said: 'Are you in jail?'
Another said: 'They have a nerve to put a curtain over that.'
A third person exclaimed: 'I was not expecting this one bit.'
A fourth added: 'I dunno what I was expecting but it deffo wasn't that window.'

What really caused backlash following a video of woman's feet on a plane

A mum is in hot water after choosing to toe the line, instead of confronting a bare foot bandit during a flight with her daughter. A video she posted to TikTok has gone viral after she filmed her daughter seated beside a stranger who had their bare, dirty feet propped up on the chair between them. We're talking overgrown toenails, misshapen toes, and dry skin so crusty it's begging for a PedEgg intervention. The clip has racked up more than 10 million views and sparked plenty of opinions in the comment section. 'You should have said something' It's set to the trending 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' sound, a popular track used to poke fun at holiday fails. People have slammed the unsavoury passenger behaviour. 'That's so rude,' one person writes. Not ideal, if you ask me. 'Maybe she literally didn't think of that!' Commenters on the post agreed that the woman had gone too far, suggesting that the person behind contact a flight attendant to remove it. 'Flight attendants would make her remove it. Just call them,' said one person. 'Aside from the inconvenience of not being able to use the tray table, it is also covering up the safety instructions. That's enough of a reason for the flight attendants to get her to remove the bag,' another agreed. 'I'd just ask her to remove it because I can't open my tray anymore. Maybe she literally didn't think of that. If that doesn't work, I'd tell a flight assistant to please take care of it,' said a third, more sympathetically. 'How is this allowed?' However, others had a more direct - though debatable less confrontational - approach. 'Or…. it's a plastic bag just tear out the back,' said one person. 'You absolutely can open it, ripping a plastic bag is easy,' another commenter agreed. 'How is this allowed? I would just rip it open from the back,' said a third. 'I would honestly try to move the plastic upwards just enough to uncover the tray. If that doesn't work, I'm ripping the shit out of it. Some people really have no consideration for others,' another said.
