Architects missed the fact that passers-by can see, and take pictures of, patrons using the toilets at the newly opened 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin
Not-so-private facilities: A young woman is snapped using the toilet at the hotel
It might be a loo with a view, but a newly opened hotel in Berlin is giving passers-by a bit of an eyeful.
For some unknown reason, the architect who designed the restaurant area in the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin thought the toilets should be placed next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, despite the building being only ten storeys tall.
The hotel, which offers spectacular views of the Berlin Zoo, unfortunately also now offers eagle-eyed pedestrians another sight if they look up.
Several passers-by on the street below have been taking snaps of the hapless toilet users, which has prompted the hotel to put up notices which read: ‘Please be careful, not only the monkeys are watching’.
So if you’re ever staying at 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin and need to spend a penny, maybe just wait until you’re back into the safety of your room.
