  • In todays video I stay in the top rated hotel in London (and also explore some new areas I haven’t really ventured to). As always, please let me know in the comments below what videos you would like to see, especially with Christmas coming up!

    The Resident gave ITU nurses who worked directly with covid patients a free stay at their hotels to say thank you. My mum who's a nurse brought me along and yes Grace - the loveliest hotel staff ever!

    The extra knickers and socks debate question. For some reason I was always taught to pack like you are going to get uncontrollable food poisoning every day of your trip. My family is very paranoid though so... Great video! I would love an upscale hotel and resort honest reviews from you.

    Hi Grace!, just wanted to say hello, I don’t really have many friends and I lost my dad when I was 19. I don’t have much in life but watching you feels like I have a pen pal who keeps me appreciated by sharing their trips with me Lol. Thanks for making my day and making me feel whole again. ❤ xx

    Gracie, this vlog makes me feel like taking a day off and just going to London by myself and enjoy my own company. Challenge myself to find little new things to try e.g. chocolate or beauty product (that won't be expensive) and just have a change of scenery.

    I always heard that the stars mean the hotel has additional amenities. We just assume with more amenities the better it will be but its not always true. Lots of love to you Grace!

    • @Fazerella
      @Fazerella ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Entirely true! The stars are fairly arbitrary. It's things like having fresh flowers in the lobby, having a restaurant on site, having a gym on site, etc.

    Hey Grackle, my Mom and I love your videos, and I just wanted to let you know for a little constructive critique that in a couple of recent ones we've noticed a couple points where the music seems to be quite loud while you're speaking, and we've found it a bit distracting from what you're saying, which is a bummer because we'd like to hear what you're saying :) Just wanted to give you a heads up, but otherwise the videos are lovely and it's fun to see you exploring different places and such! I hope you had a nice trip!

    Those pj’s look beautiful. Extra pants and socks a must in my book. You may be caught out by your time of the month. You might get caught in heavy rain and get wet feet. You would need shoes as well. If you are walking lots, two pairs of socks worn at the same time can help prevent or cushion blisters.

    I loves this!! Actually I love all of your videos. This is the first comment I’ve made on one ☺️ I WISH that I had London just up the road from me… but alas I am in New Zealand! I love seeing TH-camrs like you because I feel like you’re so relatable! I find a lot of content so out of reach and unrealistic these days. It’s nice to see an account that doesn’t constantly contain a $1000 skincare and makeup routine at the beginning of each video (ofc I still watch those haha.) Could I just ask what style of Carhartt pants you are wearing? They are just what I’m looking for :D

      I'm guessing because you get a kitchen area, their intention is that you make your own breakfast. Which is a nice option, but sometimes you want some sort of provided breakfast (either buffet or cook to order).

Please please please tell me what they were, I’d be forever grateful. I have a feeling they changed the bath colour, but I could be wrong ❤❤

      Chuffed is like happy/excited. "I'm so chuffed they had my favourite dessert on the menu". Faffed is either "I faffed about" - "I wasted time/had little purpose" or "faffed" can be used for "I can't be bothered" usually a polite expression instead of swearing/cussing.
