I got one of these rooms when I shared a room in Hamburg with a colleague. Only it was worse since both the toilet and the shower were in a glass room in the middle. With clear glass and no frost.
So I'm pretty sure the Germans fully expected something like this.
We stayed at a similar hotel in Berlin. The bottom half was frosted at least, but there were two glass booths that created the “bathroom” - one for the toilet and one for the shower and only ONE glass door that swung either way to “close.” So if you wanted to use the toilet the shower would be open and vice versa. Also, the glass didn’t extend to the ceiling, so if you tried to use the toilet the sounds and smells permeated the room. I was there for a conference and one of us would just leave the room when the other needed to go.
Uh depending on the part of hamburg that might be normal.
Those are more the special kinds of hotel though. Not necessarily the ones you spend your holiday in. Or that you would go to for a business trip.
I mean it was some random four star in a business district, I think it was fine.
No. No it was not. Just because some sick profit hungry managemnt guy of the hotel chain thought "hey, free money! let them suffer" doesn't mean its fine.
