A toilet door is a basic no brainer. Unless you want any others to watch or - if travelling alone - you want your bedroom area to smell the same as your freshly shat-in toilet...

But then hotel do dumb things like fully enclose a barfridge in a cupboard too.

It’s also a hygiene issue. Bathrooms are notoriously covered in fecal particles, one of the reason why flushing with the lid up is not a great idea. Having a door at least provides some protection against your bed also being covered in them.

  • Hotel beds are covered in far worse, a few more floating poo particles coming round the corner from the loo (after all, even if there is a door, it isn't always closed by prior guests, and they may get into bed without washing hands or worse) is the least of your worries.

I hate to say it, but lowkey airflow is not stopped by doors.
