THIS is the hilarious moment a holidaymaker pulls back his hotel room curtain to reveal an unexpected view.
Viewers were left in stitches by the footage, which shows the guest initially admiring the vista – before it is discovered to be a screen.

The video – posted on TikTok by Felicia Svensson – shows the man walking up to the window before throwing the curtains open.
He is greeted by a picturesque setting, with two chairs and a table on his balcony seemingly overlooking a beautiful sea view.
But as the camera pans round, the visitors are left stunned when they discover that the view is actually a screen hanging from the roof.
The print looks to cover up the disappointing scene from the balcony, which immediately faces the side of a building.
The popular Jet2 Advert can be heard playing in the background, with Felicia jokingly commenting “Yeahhhh” alongside the video.
Lots of viewers admitted they had initially been fooled by the “stunning” canvas and instead were concerned by the apparent lack of railings.
One explained: “At first I thought that there’s no railings, just in case, you know, you don’t want to leave that place…ever.
“But then I realised that it’s just a painted canvas thing.”
Another added: “I thought the issue was that there wasn’t a railing on the edge!
“I was like OMG I’d be so scared of falling off that!
“It took me a bit to see what the wall issue was lol.”
And a third joked: “Ad: The room features a panoramic balcony, offering stunning views of the lush green mountains and the picturesque lake view”.
It is not known where the hotel in the video is, but viewers likened the canvas to stunning scenery from Lake Geneva, with one labelling it the “Costa del Poster”.
Others leapt to the defence of the hotel, arguing that the print was a much better alternative to the current building-side view.
One user said: “Honestly it’s better than a plain wall”.
Another continued: “It’s appreciation for art not view.”
Poorly translated signs are often found in hotels abroad, and can lead to hilarious results.
But design fails are also surprisingly common, and can range from loo rolls being too far away from the toilet seat or doors that don’t close properly.
