Vacationer looks under hotel bed - suddenly two eyes “stare” at her
Model Natalisi Taksisi discovers an unpleasant odor coming from under her bed in her Tokyo hotel room. Then a man crawls out and flees her room.
Natalisi Taksisi, a model and influencer, experienced a frightening incident in a Tokyo hotel. After a day of sightseeing in Japan , she noticed a "strange smell" in her room. Under the bed, she discovered "a pair of eyes staring at me."
She jumped up in a panic. Then a man crawled out from under the bed and stared at her, she reports on TikTok. "Those seconds felt like my life was over," Taksisi said.
The man then fled the room. Hotel staff called the police, who found a power bank and a USB cable under the bed. However, the perpetrator could not be found because there were no surveillance cameras in the building.
After the shocking incident, the hotel offered Taskini a $178 (around €156) voucher, even though she had paid $600 (around €525) for her stay. "This is ridiculous," she commented on the hotel's offer. She instead demanded a full refund, which she received.
Natalisi Taksisi wonders how someone gained access to her room and criticizes the hotel for its lack of security measures. "And how can the hotel not take responsibility for such a serious security breach?" she asks in the video. After the incident, she immediately moved to another hotel and describes the remaining days of her trip as a "nightmare."
What happened to Natalisi Taksisi is nothing unprecedented. Many vacationers feel unsafe in their hotel rooms and fear that someone might break in unnoticed. With a simple trick, an effective alarm system can be improvised: Hang a coffee cup on the door handle.
If someone tries to open the door, the cup falls and makes a noise that wakes the residents. Alternatively, the dropped cup indicates in the morning whether someone has tried to open the door.
However, experts do not recommend additionally securing the door with a rope or belt. In the event of a fire or earthquake, a tight knot could prevent a quick exit from the room.
To prevent break-ins, you can also use the towel trick . This involves hanging a towel over the doorknob so that burglars can't force it down with a long stick.
In summary, some tips for a more restful sleep in your hotel room:
- Hang a coffee cup on the doorknob to warn people.
- Do not use rope or belt as a door security device
- Hang a towel over the doorknob
