Looks like someone raided a TK Maxx and stuck it into a hotel
ha ha agree
Agreed, finished off with a quick B&M visit. I don't like that "It's a London thing" script on the wall, like people have "Eat" in their kitchens & "Sleep" in their bedrooms but never "Poo" in the bathrooms. It's well manky, l wouldn't be able to sleep just because of that script.
@@WalkWithMeTim why don’t you stay at rugby central Travelodge
@@sexynisi1 the one next to tesco express?
Congratulations on the most British comment ever😂😂
Imagine working here... Calls and emails every day from 'influencers' wanting a free room in return for a post on their Instagram 😂
Yes .. and I had to pay for mine
@@WalkWithMeTim quality content as always 🙌
I think the “instagrammable spots” in this hotel are actually really dated and unimaginative. Does it really make for that interesting of a photo to see someone stood in front of a generic, meaningless neon sign…? It’s trying so hard to be trendy that it’s everything but.
@@V-13579 and i mean there's not even a gated entrance to a Chelsea townhouse that you don't own to pose in front of either for the OOTD instagram post.
That would be a nightmare...'influencers' another word for entitled.
Hotel room prices throughout the UK are at silly levels now, they took advantage once CV restrictions were lifted and ramped up prices to claw back profits and the prices just seem to have stayed the same, its often cheaper to go abroad for a week than stay at a half decent UK hotel for 5 nights.......
@@DMAEmmeryJohn rather be with those "people" than with stuck up pretentious, arrogant well off folk.
@@DMAEmmeryJohn Exactly the same people you go on holiday to escape from.
I would definitely expect breakfast to be included at that room rate! Decor is too over the top for my taste. That eighth floor corridor looked downright creepy too! The PIR lighting is a bit impractical when people are juggling luggage and mastering using door key cards - suddenly being plunged into darkness isn't helpful!😊
One could have themselves quite the "Royal Flush" in that bathroom😄
i'd want to be paid £255 to stay there......
lol
@@WalkWithMeTim Come back to cromer again soon :) Hopefully I won't be working that day
🤣🤣🤣
A Walk With Me Tim video on a Sunday. What a treat! 🙏🏻
lol
Tim has talent and something to say, a proper content creator. I really don't like the idea of Instaram hotels. The whole influencer scene usually makes me want to vomit.
Do you not think Tim would be considered and influencer himself though?!
@@harrietpalmann8450 No I think he's a creator of interesting content, rather than just going around promoting brands for cash and doing very little themselves in terms of creativity.
To be honest, Tim is, in my humble opinion, a travel journalist. He's filling a void that used to be filled partly by BBC "Holiday" and the "Watchdog" programme (before it was condensed into a 10 minute blurp on the Oneshow.)
@@harrietpalmann8450 On reflection, the difference is he is creating content about travel. Influencers are often creating other content and seeking brands to promote for financial gain, rather than for content.
@@james-5560 Fair enough. I don't know anything about the revenue he generates from it and how many free stays he gets offered. But on the whole I'd presume anyone reviewing something (products or otherwise) with a decent enough following on YT could be considered an "influencer" of sorts. I bet people have visited some of the hotels off the back of his reviews!
£254 a night!!!...£25 for breakfast!!...£4.44 for a cup of tea...not so much Alice in Wonderland...more the owners were on acid in cuckoo land when they built the place and set the price menu
so true! 🤣🤣🤣
£4.44 to put a teabag in hot water? £25 for breakfast? Those are shocking prices even for London. I usually stay in the hotel indigo in Kensington can usually get a double room with breakfast for about £100-£150 and it's a great hotel in a fantastic location
Thanks for the tips!
I seriously think breakfast should be included with your room, it’s definitely aimed at the younger generation with all boutique furniture and decor. I don’t think it’s worth the price 😮
I suppose that depends if you’re an instagram sort or not?
For people like you and I we certainly wouldn’t benefit I imagine but I guess these instagram people that get paid to do what they do might be able to make money from using a location like this to snap the shots they want for instagram?
No idea how instagram works really but this hotel certainly seems like an instagrammers wet dream 😂
@@rusty5078 maybe I’m just a fuddy duddy in my old age 😃 I never used to think like that .
@@tiggiegillespie4356 I’m the same lol this instagram thing is really bizarre to me. I don’t understand the hype over it. Much like TikTok it’s for a generation I’m not part of 😂
@@rusty5078 now TikTok I don’t mind too much as my algorithm is history, news and being more self-sufficient. I just gotta put that into practice lol!
@@tiggiegillespie4356 I downloaded TikTok once deleted it after about 30 seconds 😂
Gotta say, your hotel reviews are very thorough. Impressive.
£255 a night to stay in that LSD induced Nightmare? The second you stepped through the front door I knew it was a hotel I would never even countenance staying in and at that price its cemented it as such. It reminds me of one of my favourite sayings: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
I am with you. I hate to think of people like myself that suffer from horrid migraines 😢
Im with you both. This place would give m a migraine or a.nightmare I’m not sure which.
A walk with me Tim series from Orlando Florida would really hit the spot. Daily trips to the different Disney/ Universal spots. Plus loads of different hotels to sample.
I think I would feel like I was on a bad trip if I stayed in that hotel. I'm sure there are better hotels than that in the same price range and you would probably get breakfast included.
Mate:, my experience is that it’s rare to find breakfast included in 4 star hotels unless it’s a special offer and in most cases it’s hidden in the price anyway.
The toilet roll between Henry’s legs made me chuckle 🤭
Definitely agree with you about it being Instagram friendly, but a bit tacky for my liking unfortunately! Great video as always though 😊
Thanks for watching!
I think this is one of the first 'nice' hotels I've seen you do where I have just thought "yeah, this isn't for me." The faux-Brit stuff isn't my cup of tea, and the price is eye-watering for a decor based mostly in dodgy graffiti art. I feel far too old to be able to stay there, but then again, I'm not from the IG generation, so could see how the young'uns would think it's cool. 😉
We are the young ones and we don't think it's good at all.
Definitely agree with 'yeah, it isn't for me!'
You'd have to pay me to stay there Tim! I hated the vulgar tackiness of the decor. They just seemed to have thrown every random item they could find into it. I also disliked the horrible dark corridor - the stuff of nightmares. As you may have guessed, it's a no from me.
Are you familiar with the Instagram app?
Whatever floats your boat!
@@shayfinnighan6311 That's exactly my point, the hotel ironically or not aligns perfectly with instagram and the majority of its users i.e. dreadful, tacky, tasteless, self indulgent
It's the UK, vulgar tackiness is what we do best.
On my countless trips to the UK over the last 50 years I have stayed at huge range of hotels: from cheaper ones like Premier Inns up to The Ritz and Claridges. Not one would fit the definition of vulgar tackiness. @@simonh6371
Sorry not for me, I’d describe it as tacky not classy!🤷🏻♀️
I am so glad I like the simple things in life. I have just come back from Langkawi. I had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the bay. It was silent in the evenings apart from frogs and occasional thunder. The room was clean and it was a pleasure to stay there. I paid £27 per night for 5 nights. This is just one anecdotal example of how I have travelled for years. If I had been the type of person into this sort of travel, then I would have seen less than 2% of what I have been lucky to have seen over the years. Each to their own though.
£27 per night, plus the £1,000 to actually get there. I’m glad you liked your time but please don’t pretend that Malaysia is a budget holiday location…
@@philiptaylor2366 Who said I paid £1000? Not me. My flight was £570 and £30 both ways to Langkawi from KL.
I bet the interior design company couldn't believe their luck when they secured this contract
"Don't forget your camera, or you'll miss out on 'Instagram opportunities'" made me throw up in my mouth a little haha.
Boy, I wouldnt be keen on walking down that hall by myself lol! I don`t think I`d want to stay there, the novelty would wear off pretty quickly I think! Another great vlog Tim!
Hi Tim! I really recommend a hotel called the harbour hotel in Anglesey, Cemaes bay! It’s 2-star but definitely does not feel like it. I’d recommend booking a balcony too because the sea view is just amazing. Me and my boyfriend went last year. Cemaes bay alone is so beautiful!❤
4.44 for a cup of tea? Tell them they're kidding themselves! I also agree with your point about one armchair in hotel rooms, maybe there are too many single hotel room designers!
Great video Tim thank you for posting, this hotel looks like something in the future, love your room 😊
Thanks Tim great video as always look forward to the next Yvonne 😊
Loving the videos !!! Thank you 😊
Glad you like them!
yesss!! was hoping for a new 'walk'! Thanks! Keep 'em coming!
Biggest fan from the Netherlands
Awesome! Thank you!
WOW! That bed looks amazing, pretty sure it's a king size based on the nearly square dimensions...and that tea pot kettle, so cute, I want one! Overall I found the aesthetics very weird yet it all seems to work (like you said, so many unique details)...all the things they do with lighting is very cool; I like that they have motion sensors to save electricity (despite the difficulty seeing in the dimness). Even the retro telephone is nicer than the ones you had in your "7 star" Dubai suite (those phones stuck out like sore thumbs HAHA)! Thanks for the video!
Lovely and luxury hotel. Thanks Tim. Happy Sunday 🎉
Tim you have to visit northern Ireland were I'm from and do the causeway coast, the scenery is one of the best in the world
loved this video. You should do a series on unusual and quirky hotels. xxx
They’re living on another planet. I’ve worked in a Forbes 5* hotel in a superb area and the breakfast wasn’t that much. And yes. That was in an expensive area of London, something that the hotel you stayed in does not share.
Insane.
probably the only hotel you don't need permission to film.
ha you say that but I did get asked what I was doing ... I mean really!
No way 😮
@@WalkWithMeTim lol that's madness and Instagram hotel asked you why you are photographing their building.
Tim, when you asked about other suggestions, could be interesting to pre-book a few rooms at random hotels, like booked well in advance, and the cost, what's included etc, and then contact the same hotel to try and book a room last minute, and compare and contrast? How much is the price difference, quality and type of room, etc?
For this place, do I think it was worth the price, no not really, especially not if it was booked well in advance.
The reason for my suggestion is that I have paid over the usual price for hotels before a couple of times, somewhat begrudgingly, but they have been more of the necessity and at short notice type accommodation, rather than choosing a place for a city break or something.
And also still both were still cheaper than this place! (one inc Breakfast, other room only)
But it would be interesting to see, considering you know what you're looking at/for etc in a hotel
Not sure I want Henry looking at me as I'm sitting on throne😂
I actually gasped out loud when I heard the price of that room. OMG is all I can say! And breakfast at over 20 quid? Jeez are they serving it on gold plates? Wow. Really taking the you know what tbh. And why? Because they can...... and because it's London of course....x J x
Great video thanks Tim. Maximalist I believe interior designers call chucking loads of clashing stuff in a room these days! London prices are stupidly greedy
Very true
I actually feel a bit too old for this sort of hotel 😊. That dartboard reminded me of that bit in the film "Videodrome" - really showing my age now😄! Some of the things were nice but altogether it was a bit much...and so was the price! Still an enjoyable watch - Cheers Tim!
Sharing the bed with someone! 😂 I think you need to rephrase that and say sharing it with Gabby 😂
Noted lol
That's ridiculous for a cuppa and very expensive for 1 night!! Good video as always tim x
Great video, as usual!
Thanks again!
Wow,we would love to stay here,what a hotel,a lot to take in,love it!!
Haha the last comment about costa cracked me up🤣 brilliant
Don't know what's more dazzling, the colours in this hotel or the price. Great Vlog yet again Tim.
Many thanks!
Very funky and patriotic. Like the big bed . Thank you for sharing. Will check it out in future . Cheers Tim 👍.
Thanks Tina
Fantastic! How cool is that! You are the greatest!The videos are so fun and completely COOL!And once again the polo shirts rock on you!
Your devoted fan from America
ha ha thanks Tricia you are the only one who agree lol
I really like the quirkiness of this hotel. I love the Britishness of it, from the Kings guard chair to the street signs. I’m going to have to find that ceramic teapot kettle.. I LOVE it.
Hey Tim love your videos you asked for ideas where to go next, you should definitely try the Fingal hotel in Edinburgh. It’s a converted boat moored in a dock, a bit expensive but really worth the money and the food is wonderful
I'll check it out!
Love your videos Tim. If you're ever up north, would love to see you stay in Lumley Castle in Durham or The Rookery Nook in Haworth is beautiful x
Deal!
Had a work function there last year. Loved the unique quirkiness of the place.
This place is nuts! Just the sort of mad place I like, not too keen on the spooky corridor 😮and what about Henry in the bog 😂😂 OMG that ventilation noise☹️ yes, too pricey 😳
Excellent work Tim , you’re saving me a fortune , tick that one off the list
Glad to help
I’m not surprised by the price, the place looks brilliant, the interiors are so luxe and well curated… but I do detest stingy coffee and tea making facilities
Lol that's Poundland trash decor
"Well you can get at least four people in it"...We have all accepted Tim's jokes about the size of the showers, but now he's using the same for the beds ... Far too many jokes there... We love you.
Glad you made it home in one piece!!!
Looks so fun. I will consider next time I am in London. Fun
Amazing show. I think this hotel TMI is a understatement. At least the elevator is ckill.😊
As an English person I am embarrassed at the thought of foreign people visiting London for the first time and staying here.
In my opinion the room is an unnecessary explosion of tacky cliches. We could have shown off our country so much better than this.
Good on them for trying something different though.
Wow very Bohemian!
I love it!
I used to wear hippy boho clothes back in the day with bright red hippy Hair!
That London Tower Rocket!
And the very strange Dartboard with the mouth as the Bulleye.
As you say very instagramable!
Selfie opportunities everywhere!
The British Chairs look like they are getting ready for the Kings Coronation in May!
It's a very swanky Bar area I should imagine they do wonderful Cocktails there!
Shame lift wasn't abit more in keeping they could of made the Lift really different!
Love the Red blobs on the carpet & the crazy vintage boho Wallpaper!
The walkway down the Hotel Room was a visual treat!
All those Hippy Colours, colourful but muted retro vintage!
And you're Dippy Blue Door!
And the unusual look, British Retro with the Queen in Bansky Pink on the wall.
That Teapot Kettle was a cute novelty.
I love your mini Bar area in your room!
Could make a few Cocktails in there!
I'd take those colourful flip flops home!
Very Arty everywhere like it been done up by Art Students.
Odd Y shaped Chair it did look quite comfy when you sat on it.
True the shower controls are better to the side not right under the 🚿 shower.
The peep hole😂that would come in handy if someone passed out on the Toilet after too much to drink!
I wouldn't go to the Gym but it looks nice & compact.
£24.90 is way to much for breakfast if you went down in the morning.
The furniture is certainly fun!
It's almost like you can buy the furniture!
It's all so different & bespoke.
Henry the 8th in the Bathroom 😂where did he come from!
Gym.Toilets look like Nightclub toilets!
£19 quite alot for Breakfast to order early.
It definitely loud Air ventilation system that would get on my nerves I'd try & get it turned off.
Hope you slept ok Tim!
£255 is alot I'm not sure if it's worth that much & breakfast being so expensive too!
Did you think it was worth all that money Tim?
The vent system I kind of got used to in the end
@@WalkWithMeTim that's true once you got to sleep you wouldn't notice it the same.
I always dislike Air Conditioning In Hotels.
Just Radiators to keep warm!
Love this hotel but wouldn't spend that amount of money for one night but the decor gets a thumbs up from me thanks Tim for going to this place
Very posh, and beautiful surroundings! Thanks for the amazing content!
Love the funky flip flops 😅
Love your reviews, would really like to see you visit The Scarlett in Cornwall.
Curious place ❤
That's why London although expensive is such a great city. Beautiful when you have money. Wow so different to your place in Bournemouth like a town gone downhill to a city that's great. Nice stuff Tim
This is too much. My brain isn't programmed to receive so much at one time. I liken it to a carnival fun house. It truly is a one time stay.
Lol
It's an amazing hotel, but overpriced, and no hot chocolate and biscuits in sight on the tea tray for that price!x
You should stay at The Hex hotel based at the hive which is the retail section of Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster South Yorkshire. I believe you can get rooms with balconies facing the animals. Love the videos!
Great video Tim. The room looked amazing and the hotel did as well. The noise of the ventilation was a shame tho I cant sleep with any noise either. The whole through the bathroom door is weird as well. But yeah great room but again for me not worth that price for 1 person and 1 night.
Thanks for sharing bro 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
@@WalkWithMeTim Thank you. I love all your videos. I found you on TH-cam when I went to visit great yarmouth I was looking at things to do in great yarmouth and since then I got addicted to ur videos bro. Lol
OMG yes! The peep hole in the door is plain creepy..why?! One for the peeping Tom's I reckon...
@@katewolfspirit6722 lol yeah 🤣
In comparison to the Windmill, I would say it's better value.
On the plus side there were no loud guests above you , keeping you awake all night.
Another great & fantastic video I Stay In A Instagram Hotel - OMG💛💛💚💚A bit to pricey!.
It sort of looks like a King-size bed, Tim. That man on the wall kind of looks like he's about to clean the Queen's nose for her, or buff it up a little.
The hallway is creepy.
I am staying at the Hub by Premier Inn Westminster Abbey. The Abbey is half a block away from me! The other way down the street on Tothill Street, on the corner, is the Blue Boar pub. Very good food and the host and the wait-people are so nice.
I did feel like someone could hide behind the curtains
@@WalkWithMeTim Your reply to my comment is funny, Tim! Did you check in the closets, too?
Gwen (moonwalk), normally I'm watching your videos from my home 60 miles south of Seattle.
I was glad you like the Premier Inns ... I do, too! Perfect for me for eight nights!
Take care .....
A other cracking video mate always good end to the weekend
Thanks 👍
super funky, super hippie, pretty interesting 😄
Absolutely agree about your pillow problem. I like a firm pillow too. And don't get me started on air conditioning. Hate it and detest the noise of it. The hotel looks very fancy, but personally I'd prefer fewer gimmicks and less decoration and lower prices.
Hear! Hear! And I also hate noisy air conditioning! Not customer friendly at all!
when you opened the lift door onto floor 7 it gave me tower of terror vibes. i was waiting for the ghosts to appear and then the drop to start
Lol
All that's missing is a Genuine Street Urchin shouting out 'London! You're in London! Come and get yer London!' every hour, on the hour.
To be fair actually there is so much tat out there (at the same price) I'd actually rather stay here than quite a few competitor places. But only if I had to at £200+!
Hi there, another great video from you like always do enjoy videos and how your videos are put together and that was quite dear. I think but I might be being tight myself but look interesting. Don’t know if I want to stay there myself but brilliant video again
Thank you very much!
Looks like King size bed. Definitely different in a good way!
This place looks fantastic!Very impressed!Disappointed you didn't have breakfast but understandable at the cost! Find a Greggs!
Great hotel vlog wow posh and maybe not worth the price without breakfast
Wow Tim,that's some hotel and at a wow price, it looked amazing, loved the rocket big Ben,they know how to charge for breakfast,far too pricey for me , but loved to see inside, bedroom was lovely too, mice and clean,hope you got to sleep OK. As you didn't say. Thanks for sharing, see you soon, looking forward to Gaby later, x😊
Thanks Hazel
Currently binging your channel 😂
Yay! Thank you!
glad you stayed there. so ido not have to. thank you tim.
:-)
Brilliant video Tim! I think your next visit should be at the Brewdog Hotel. Keep up the great content :)
Thanks! Will do!
Hi Tim, I would love to see you visit the Brewdog Hotel. Thanks.
You flew over my area in northern Jutland. A new route from Aalborg to New York just opened up, we're pretty stoked that our little airport got that route
????
Would love to see you review a Brewdog hotel Tim!
I love that Tim's first thought of the corridors was Alice in Wonderland and mine was The Shining 😂
I hate rooms where there is some kind of ventilation noise you can’t control!
I dont mind sharing with you Tim! 😉 lol ❤
Omg, the vibe feels like I'm in a very random and weird dream 🤣 But the place is unique. You can't always find hotels having such unique interior.
A spy-hole in the toilet??!!! What the heck???
Looks pretty tacky in my opinion. But looks comfortable and spotlessly clean.
A nice hotel Tim your room is nice
How much!! Never… great video Tim..Hathersage in Derbyshire has some nice places and is worth a visit 👍
I will check it out
This gives me vibes of the hostel called generator in London. Really cool, lots of interesting art and a nice stay. You can get private rooms. Would be cool to see Tim do some hostels and they are underrated but I've stayed in some that are nicer than hotels. St Christopher's are amazing and such nice staff.
Thanks for the tips!
No worries! Love your youtube channel ❤
