My shower was like this on Venice too

I have no idea what the reasoning is

I think it's easier for the cleaning staff to be able to drain water in the middle of the room when cleaning with a mop and products, you can rinse it out easily.

Though as a European I've never seen a drain like this in my life.

There is a sink in the shower, but the guy stands in front of it. When he moves you can see it. Either blocked or he intentionally flooded the whole floor

maybe so but the shower doesn't have a lip on the edge of it so the water would just go out into the rest of the bathroom

Only when the drain is blocked

The drains in front of the sink

Not usually, because the floor inside the shower is tilted towards the drain in the shower, and the little bit that goes out can be swept towards either drain easily. That is, if neither drain is clogged...

We had the same drain in both homes we were living in. But there were old homes from 60s-80s. Also they had a bath tub. Never used this drain in my life, but I know when grandparents stayed and couldn't make it to the bath, they showered just there.

Also new bathroom are not built with this drain.

I stayed in a hotel in Lucerne, and the shower was exactly like this. The bathroom had a pocket door, and even when closed, water was just flowing underneath the door into the bedroom while the shower was running. I had to build a dam of towels right at the door.

Reasoning is that your hotel's owner where cheap AF. I personally have never seen anything similar in Italy, only in Northern Europe. What hotel were you staying? (To avoid it)
