Forget ocean views because these hotels overlook the football pitch

A GOOD hotel should have a great view overlooking a picturesque scenery, take for example, the sea or some snowy mountain with sheep grazing. But some hotels decide to stand out among the “crowd” by having a view of the football pitch instead.

Take it from this video post by netizen @TheFigen_ which shows a window opening up to a massive crowd of football fans at an undisclosed location. Say goodbye to a peaceful vacation time and say hello to football because you are bound to be awakened to the cheers and screams of the fans.

The alarm clock won’t be necessary now that we think about it. A good number of netizens pointed out that the booking was definitely done by dad and we are not surprised.

The comedy continued with @LouXpress who said he woke up to 50,000 people cheering and thinking it was for him.

“Pay for the hotel and you wouldn’t worry about tickets for the game,” added @thee_alfa_house while @ThoreauBklyn said, “No thanks, I’m not sleeping with all those people sitting directly on the opposite side of the window.”

Another netizen said it was not a hotel but was in fact, a football penthouse suite. How true is that? A quick check on the internet revealed that these hotels are located within the Blackpool FC Stadium, Stadium MK complex and the Toughsheet Community Stadium, all in the UK.

For some of these hotels, tourists or football fans do not even need to get out of their bed to watch the games. But beware though. This is not a room you want to book if you are looking for a peaceful retreat. —Oct 12, 2025
