Tourist’s panoramic view from hotel room not as advertised, leaves viewers speechless

Viewers have been speechless after a tourist revealed the unique view from his hotel window.

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.”
