> a simple but functional shower with hot water

Sorry, no, not allowed. Hotel showers always have _something_ wrong with them; it's a law of nature.

Potential problems:

- No thermostatic valve (particularly common in the US and Spain, neither of which seems to believe that thermostatic valves exist at all)

- Leaks and/or insufficient drainage

- Overly complex control scheme

- Fixed showerhead, with no handheld shower at all (mostly a US thing)

- Arbitrarily loses pressure.

- Impossible to turn on without getting drenched in cold water

I don't _really_ care about the bathroom door thing that the website is so excited about, but I am constantly irritated by hotel showers.
