Staying in... Fox Connaught near Excel, #London. Room inspired by charity shops & dead folk. Maybe.
Not a great stay this time! Firstly, it was my mistake to book a place without realising it was a pub even though it sounds every bit like a pub. Yep, that's on me.
As soon as you crossed from the #pub into where the rooms were it went downhill. I mention a few times in the #video that it reminded me of a charity shop in both the look, feel, decor and smell. It really did feel like everything belonged to dead people. You know that feeling when you step into a house and feel that someone died there. Yeah, that. Maybe I've looked at too many houses but I have felt that a lot.
Away from that the bed was uncomfortable and when it rains it gets noisy dripping outside the window. Bathroom was we...

Staying in... the New Linden #hotel in Bayswater, home of the NOISIEST floorboards in #london
Просмотров 89610 месяцев назад
Yep. These floorboards were no joke. They were nosy in my room, noisy n the corridor and noisy above and below me. A cacophony of annoying noise. This stay at the New Linen was £75 (half price offer believe it or not) and took place on a Wednesday night. Yeah... I won't be staying here again. Not worth the price but even if they halved the price again the creaky floorboards make it an impossibl...

Picking up where we left off in the last 'walk...' video. Again, partly an experiment but this time a more successful one! We start by the Oxo Tower and pass by the Tate Modern, Shakespeare Globe Theatre, go under London Bridge, see HMS Belfast, City Hall, cross Tower Bridge and finish up at the Tower of London. #subscribe #london #walk #tourism #tour #shakespeare #walking #southbank #tate #bri...
Walk... Victoria Embankment and the Southbank, London

Full disclosure, this is technical test of a new piece of equipment that I bought. Spoiler, it did not go to plan, however, we have around 40 minutes of a #walk that you may find of interest. Walked down Victoria #Embankment towards #Westminster, crossed Westminster Bridge and back down the #Southbank passing the #London Eye, BFI, Southbank Centre.
Staying in... Nox Hotel Hyde Park

Another stay in a Nox Hotel, this time at the Hyde Park branch. Located on Queensway there are plenty of food options around especially if you are prepared to walk a little. Fast food is close but walk 5-10 minutes in most directions and better options present itself. There are tube stations on the road and a lovely stroll around Hyde Park is literally at the bottom of road. Getting to play Ark...
Staying in... Travelodge Kew Bridge
Просмотров 70711 месяцев назад
Lessons learned this video. 1) Check the journey before you leave work. 2) Kew Gardens is not the same place as Kew Bridge! Sigh. A longer than planned walk to the hotel after getting off at the wrong underground station but we saw a little bit of Kew albeit not as much (Gardens were in opposite direction) as I would have liked and it was dark. Travelodge Kew Bridge charged £55 and I stayed on ...

Staying in... Urbanloft in Cologne. Also attending Gamescom 2023.

Another work trip to Germany, this time I'm in Cologne for the Gamescom expo, as such, I did not book the hotel so I'm unsure of the price but fair to say the Urbanloft is a pleasant stay but in an area that is possibly not the best. I also give you a little tour around Gamescom if interested. It's a massive event so can't show everything but you should get a flavour. After all, these vids are ...
Staying in... (spoiler:) the very accurately named Good Hotel in Docklands, London
Просмотров 815Год назад
A really enjoyable stay at the Good Hotel in Docklands, London. One of the nicest hotels I've stayed in since doing these videos. Such a nice vibe and being able to simply lie in bed and watch the water was incredibly relaxing. £72 for a stay on a Monday night. One of the few hotels s far that earned a future booking. #hotel #stay #tourism #tour #room #london #break #budget #roomtour #travel
Staying in... The 29 Hotel in Pimlico / Victoria, London
Просмотров 843Год назад
This week we stay in Pimlico for the first time. Truth told, it's pretty much Victoria as it's only a 5 minute walk from the coach station and 10 minutes from the train station. It was £75 for the evening which, after the fact, was a bit much. Not a place I would want to revisit for a few reasons. #hotel #stay #tourism #tour #room #london #break #budget #roomtour #travel
Staying in... Travelodge Windsor Central. Also attended a PlayStation event & explored Windsor a bit
Просмотров 933Год назад
Another work event takes me to Windsor. I'm in town for a PlayStation event (which I talk about a little) and am staying in the local Travelodge. We are looking at around £150 a night for the SUPER room. Seems a bit on the pricy side but it was booked very late. Also wandered around Windsor, taking in the castle and realising that I don't remember Windsor as well as I thought (I used to work in...

For 5 nights I tried to pull back the net curtain to look out and just banged my fingers on the inner window. I suppose it saves on laundry.

      @sleepwalkstuff 7 месяцев назад

      Hi there. Thanks for your question. This is a tough one because I torture myself sometimes with the truly budget ones and I'd hate to do that to you/the kids. If you book early enough the safest option is a Travelodge, maybe the one in Ealing. It often shows up for less than £70 a night. My personal fave is the Church Street Hotel with the caveat that it's a bit of a walk to a tube station and it's shared bathrooms. Stayed there 4 or 5 times now.

    Mate I listened very carefully to your video , I personally think you need to take a good look at yourself and your video and think " hmm do I complain about everything!" , c'mon plates too heavy! Too many bugs! Gravel path too loud under foot , really! I found this attitude to a " romantic " break away really disturbing, here's my advise.... take a chill pill 😉

    • @sleepwalkstuff
      @sleepwalkstuff 8 месяцев назад

      I'd have to watch the vid again but I doubt I complained about "everything" but who knows, maybe I did. What I will say against the examples you made: the plates were legit heavy and I think a young kid or a particularly weak (for whatever reason) adult may struggle, the level of bugs I think are worth pointing out as it was October and not especially warm, if I complained about the gravel being noisy it was more to apologise for any noise rather than gravel being gravel. But, hey, my vids are not for everyone if they were I'd have more subscribers. I appreciate you watching though and offering your feedback. Take care.

      You know what you are getting with a Travelodge. It's not close to the centre so you will need to jump on the underground for 40 minutes or so. If you are okay with that, the price is reasonable in comparison.

    Sorry to hear about your dog bro. Clawford is great. Disappointed to hear about the cobwebs but being on a lake the pods will need more regular maintenance and cleaning. What I have found that sets Clawford apart is the peace and the fishing is brilliant (if you’re a angler that alone makes the stay x100 better)- it’s still a relatively new resort so I’m sure they’ll act on feedback. Also there is a food van that comes from the local farm and the food they sell is amazing!
