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.'
