wiseman Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Just wanted to share this with you guys: Im out travelling in Norway at the moment, staying at a SAS Radisson hotel in downtown Oslo. This evening before dinner I decided to relax and take a warm bath, so I filled up the tub and relaxed. When I was emptying the tub I noticed that there was some water on the bathroom floor, seemed like the drain couldnt handle all the water draining from the tub. I didnt think too much of this to begin with and put some towels on the bathroom-floor to clean it up... When I came out of the bathroom I realised that I had seen a couple of percent of all water that leaked out...since most of the water now was soaked into the wall-to-wall carpet in front of the bathroom going off in all directions... So I went down to the frontdesk and explained that my room was kinda flooded...and they gave me a business suite instead... So next time you stay at a hotel, check that all your stuff is away from the floor in front of the bathroom, take a long warm bath and get an upgrade after the flooding... ...I can see my plan backfire badly though...

krustybrand Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Last time I was in Norway (1976), I couldn't get over the drain arrangement for the tubs in the hotels. I had first seen it in Copenhagen. The water entered the tub from the ring around the drain rather than a faucet. When draining the tub, the water first runs onto the tile floor, then down a floor drain. I take it this was the arrangement your room had? Also, the fire escape in the hotel in Copenhagen was a knotted rope that you had to throw out the window. The weight of the rope coming onto the anchor point would set off the alarm. Fun stuff!
