Hotel guest finds hidden passage in 'Narnia' wardrobe - but some think it's more sinister

When you get the keys to your hotel room the first thing you're likely to do is have a nose around. You'll likely check out the comfiness of the bed, and go into the bathroom to see what sorts of products they've left for you to try.

But one hotel guest was shocked when she looked inside the wardrobe in her room - and found a hidden passageway leading to a completely different place.

Diana Álvarez, who shared the clip on TikTok, filmed around the room, and showed the inconspicuous-looking wardrobe located at the back of the room, close to a freestanding bath tub.

When the guest opened the large piece of furniture everything appeared normal, however, after a closer look inside you could clearly see the back was split into two halves.

Diana then used their hotel keycard to open the panel - revealing a mysterious secret passageway - not miles off the one Lucy Pevensie goes through to find the land of Narnia.

However, some people thought it was less The Chronicles of Narnia, and more a full on horror movie.

As the video clip continues, you can see the visitor finds another secret door behind the wardrobe, which apparently led to a dark and spooky tunnel.

Diana captioned the video clip: "Imagine finding this in your hotel room. Spooky. How bizarre.

"What could it be for? I have seen some very disturbing comments about things like this in hotels."

The video clip quickly went viral and was seen by more than 5.1million people, and received thousands of comments.

One user simply said: "Narnia," and while the story by C. S. Lewis does have some spooky parts, some people thought this was a lot creepier than the snow-covered landscape Lucy heads to in that story.

Another added: "It looks like a scene from a horror movie."

A third added: "Be careful guys, you never know what can happen. We live in violent times and people disappear never to return. God protect us."

Diana, who comes from Puebla, in Mexico, didn't mention which hotel it was, but one person suggested: "That's in Chile. It's an anti-earthquake zone in case you're on a very high floor."

Another claimed: "Many hotels have hidden corridors behind the walls that only they know about. In motels they use them to spy, I know about it!"

"In a hotel where my sister works, the owner was involved with some dangerous people. And they made it like this, with tunnels to escape in case they went looking for them," alleged another
