Grackle: "There is a mucky table top and shower" (Phone rings) Grackle: "Room is lovely thank you". Oh so British 😂

You telling reception everything is perfect smack bang in the middle of a rant about how dirty it is, is peak British culture

'What should I do with my hair?' Mr Grack ' Brush it'.... classic 😅😅

Mr Grace speaking for us all - hot food should 100% be self serve

I think cleaners really want to do a good job generally but hotels will pay so little they have to hurry up way too much and it's physically impossible to do everything well in the short time given. They may be paid by the room. And I'd wash any cups before using.

It’s crazy how everyone’s reaction is so different if the receptionist called and asked if all was ok I would be TELLING her that it was not haha Grace is so British!

“I don’t want to be judged if I have three sausages” was very funny and also true.

To make Tim proud you have to tell us how many people would fit in the shower.

I would have politely complained about the dirty table and shower. They can't correct what they aren't aware of or address it with the housekeeping staff. It may feel impolite, but it's actually helping them to improve their hotel image.

I feel like the rooms need an update, the hallway and the breakfast room looks way more fancy then the rooms itself

Keeping in line with the London hotel stays/ reviews - any chance you'd try one of the Zedwell Hotels - they are underground with no windows/ natural light, bit of a nest(y) feel but not sure how to feel about them, with 4 different locations (Piccadilly Circus, Tottenham Court Road, Greenwich, Park Lane). Love the videos as always Grack and hope the pregnancy's going well!

Yes to doing it again! Also, love the addition of Mr Grack in the videos, even if he is only a disembodied voice! I agree with him on the hot food thing

i wonder what the benefit to the hotels is with the whole mystery booking service. sure they get their last minute rooms filled, but it’s at a far lower price, plus they probably have to pay this mystery company a fee. and the hotel can’t use their good reputation to get customers - they’re using a third party service, which some people might find a bit sketchy (let alone the whole mystery element).

I feel like the best brekfast buffets or any type of food buffet I've had are from arabic/north afrcan contries because there's this huge hospitality culture of treating people who enter your home/place of business really well and feeding them. I went to a place that an airline arranged for me in egypt that had a doughnut tree at breakfast 🤯 also long haul ferry services can be pretty amazing too with the breakfasts

Yes another Grackle Video. You are such a nice person .I love your Videos.😍

The Strand grabs you with its stunning reception until you get to the bedrooms, so sneaky ! We stayed for 2 nights for £520, we were do disappointed, as you say Grace amazzzing location!

I actually found you due to Walk with me Tim, I guess KZfaq thought it was similar. It’s my favourite KZfaqr, so you get a big plus in my book 😂

My tongue is firmly in my cheek when I say this as I totally respect Mr Grack’s privacy but ngl I do spend an unhealthy amount of time trying to glimpse him in reflections in your videos! 😆 could you maybe get one of those court room artists to do a pic of him to give us an idea? 😆😆 another great video, Grack ❤

Ive just googled and covent garden travelodge you can get for abot 60 to 80 depending on day, booking in advance etc. When you see that, it doesnt seem worth it as the secret hote,l didnt seem much better. I stayed in the travelodge there a few years back, great location and a bog standard but clean and safe hotel. No breakfast buffet though!

Love a Borders biscuits …but it does make me think of hospital visiting as you always get them with your tea and coffee..what ever time you go in ..

I love Walk With Me Tim’s videos and you Grackle have great ones too

Oh, what an interesting concept! I think the price point definitely comes from the central location, I definitely wouldn’t say the room would be worth it at the full price. It looks like it needs some updating / feels a bit dated but the breakfast hall and hallways looked quite new. I’ve payed more for a central location on trips before but it usually ends up levelling out as you can just walk to a lot of places (smaller cities than London though) when you’re central and save the money for public transport or taxis.

What a treat! Grack such great vlogs,! Thank you Thank you

Great video! On theme of mystery, it would be cool to see you do one of those mystery trips like Journee or Pack Up and Go where you don't know where you are going until you get to the airport

grack what games do you play on your switch! (assuming thats yours in the back hahah)

This was so enjoyable to watch!

Stayed there for a work trip and I thought it was insanely fancy. And man, so pricey if you don't book it mystery.. well, as they say - location location location.

Breakfast buffets are my absolute favourite thing in the world.... 🎉🎉🎉 especially the toast for some reason it always hits different 😂

Grace, you need to look up The Shady Maple in Pennsylvania. Would love to see you do all three meals there!

Definitely come to the Parkcafe Jazz Brunch Buffet in Munich! It's only from October to April I think but they've got 30m of Buffet, live jazz music and each Week it's a different culinary theme (French, New Orleans, Bavarian, etc.). It's my absolute favourite!

Hilarious.....the review was just, YOU!!!! Loved, wouldn't stay there tho 😂

I agree with Mr Grack regards the serve yourself sausage station. 😅

I love your reaction to the rituals😂 I'm Dutch and rituals is like the christmas gift for someone you don't really know or that yiu get from your employer:p I love my rituals shampoo and conditioner though, you can mix them in store and it's like 30 euros for a set Such a steal

Hi Grace, could try this on your vlog channel or main but would you be able to try out Fat Rascals (Yorkshire Scones which come in so many different flavours) from Betty’s Tearoom? It’s a massive brand in Yorkshire and I think you might like to try the variety of options you can get. You can order online or go over to one of the many branches in Yorkshire yourself. I discovered them recently after going to their original cafe in Harrogate. I went for the Gooey Rascal (which has chocolate chips and salted caramel in the middle) and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was served with a small portion of whipped cream which hit the spot. I think you would like this one 😄

I am a deal queen too.😅. Have you tried Secret Escapes? I've had a couple of good deals on there.

I've never heard of these mystery hotels. It sounds so cool!

You have to go to the breakfast buffet at the ShangriLa in Malaysai- KL ..its the best!

Most mystery things I call misery. Seems to be apt.

Breakfast buffet at The Grove in Watford is THE ONE - you will find your waffles and pancakes there 🤤

Love that you shouted Tim out, yourself and him are great KZfaqrs! Love the review, unless it was a weekend I don’t think the room was worth £175, im a silver Hilton Honors member and I believe you would of got a room for that price in the Hilton for the night, which would of been a bigger more premium room and maybe access to a pool also!

That price is OBSCENE for one night even in Covent Garden! 😮

I am a new subscriber I love your videos. You remind me of my daughter. I think £200 is still quite expensive compared to premiere inn . Great video well done

I just got back from Japan and the Grand Nikko Hotel Maihama Bay in Tokyo (close to Disneyland!) has THE BEST breakfast buffet, you would love it!! It was huge, so many options!

love it when creators I like also watch other KZfaqrs I like

We usually stay in a Z Hotel - great locations around loads of key areas in London, always clean and cheaper than where you stayed. Also sometimes they give you free cheese and wine. Small rooms but generally really good.

I have never been, but I have seen many videos of Vegas breakfast buffets and they look incredible!

What's the hotel called? Also what's the restaurant called?

I love a grackle review

the breakfast buffet at the Waldorf Astoria in Maldives!!!!! Best ive had

In US sizes I'd say the bed was a full, which is in between a single and queen.

Was this the Strand Palace by any chance?

I stayed there last year when visiting family and I don't remember what I paid- but most def not 400 pounds! I did love the included chocolate ahah but the buffet was DELISH!

Location is so important but it's also relative. When it comes to London, for me it's proximity to the Tube station.

They expect £450 for that at full price when it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned? Nope

As someone who stayed in the San Francisco Tenderloin because you cant beat a $50 room (in 08), im chuckling...and glad you arent staying in the kind of places i do lol...

I love Walk with Tim 😂

What is it about hotel breakfast buffets? I don't particularly like breakfast but when I stay in an hotel I'm gourging myself with all manner of breakfast paraphernalia......loving the videos

Best breakfast buffet is The Grove in Watford Glasshouse buffet!! It’s incredible and featured on Netflix Million Dollar Buffet!

Ive stayed at that hotel before. It is lovely - i believe i paid £105 but i stayed in one of their cosy rooms without breakfast

8:58 it's 5:30 pm and I'm thinking i should get dinner ready asap! But i live in the farm part of the US, we're different lol...

But did the baby duckling find its momma??

the wynn vegas best buffet EVER

breakfast buffets in Vegas are the best!

Thank you much love xx

I want to do a mystery hotel stay now.😂

I want all your tips for finding good hotel deals lol. I'm good at finding deals but I feel I'm not as good as I could be. Also cheap travel deals as well would be a help.

I rate this hotel for location (I have stayed here before ) but I wasn’t blown away by the room itself, I had paid extra for the premium room and would expect little extras like a bathrobe or minibar/fridge in a premium room… that said, I’d stay here again, I’d just not bother splashing out any extra on a room, the standard will be just as good. Location though - absolute top notch!

I hate confrontation but I would’ve asked for another room that was clean. Seems like if it was clean, and you are a tourist and need a good location, it may be worth it. But without knowing the other options around the area for a similar price I’m iffy on if it’s worth it or not.

Can you try fielding hotel I see mixed reviews about it I’m going there in October anyone in the comments can help me??

omg, that bed was tiny. I love Sloane Square area the best in London. That was a pricey hotel and if Mr Grack wants three sausages he gets them without judgement. Room was defo not worth the price.

Me: *always searches for bugs in reviews* I got bitten ruthlessly by bedbugs when I stayed in London in October (won't name the hostel name), but not a great start to moving over here! So paranoid about bbs now!

Grace check to see if they have a clothes iron or a hair dryer that will reach the bed. Pull the blanket away until you get to the sheets and iron the edge of the bed until it heats up the pull the sheet back to check for bedbugs.

Hands down - best breakfast buffets in the world are resorts in Turkiye. Look it up.

Best breakfast buffet is Hilton Dubai Palm jumeirah 100%

I LOVE WALK WITH ME TIM

I mean this kindly, but please consider that sometimes a higher price doesn't mean better quality. Even at half price it might not be "worth it" going for these supposed deals. If their reason for cutting the price is just to fill up empty rooms, that might explain why it was so dirty/dusty. Your money is better spent elsewhere!

What’s your favourite switch game?

Grace they would have sent someone up to clean the muck up if you had mentioned it. And it's not rude, it's getting what you paid for. They also want to know if their service is what it should be.

Try a Moxy breakfast!

It wast a bad hotel but the cleanliness was a little bit questionable. In my opinion it wasn’t worth over £400 but maybe most people had deals. The main thing it had going for it was as you said the location

Pro tip: "Excuse me, I was just wondering - where you got those pancakes from? I couldn't see them anywhere."

I stayed at a mystery hotel i London 10 years ago, it was no great, it was not clean, the pictures were nailed to the Walls, and the tv was bolted to the table, and it was huge. Never doing that again.

In the US, at least, the sizes are twin, swedish twin, full/double, queen, king, california king (lol swedish = extra long, california = extra wide)

Maybe she was gluten free and they had given her special pancakes …… maybe

Which hotel was it? Think I missed it

Where was the lemon meringue please?

I love walkwithmetim- you guys are my comfort KZfaqrs ❤

❤

Why didnt you tell them about the dirty shower tray,crumbs on the table and stained bedding?? I would have complained,sorry

Maybe the woman has allergies so they made her a special pancake

:)

Walkwithmetim

Love walk with Tim 😊

If you really wanna do a Tim we need to know how many fit in the shower

Hey, little mama! I hope you are feeling spectacular! 🍼👶👶🏼💓

Hope you wore your flip flops in that shower and didn't drink out of the glasses without washing them yourself first.

“I stayed…” thought you were a “we”.

@walkwithmetim

Grace lovely lady, really enjoyed this video. Also, I don’t think you can eat cold meats when pregnant. My sister is pregnant also and didn’t know this either. So I thought I’d let you know incase. Not sure if you ate it but just letting you know is it was news to me too when I found out 🤍🤍
