    So brave that you actually slept in the bed at Bowery grand hotel, I was looking for cheap stays in New York for a couple nights and was appalled by the reviews, I was so shook that there were so many things wrong there ! Excellent video, though I do think the most expensive hotel obviously seems overpriced, no doubt you could get everything you are looking for at a better price.

    I'm not sure I would want to spend my money in either of those rooms. Both were overprice . However that night view on the second room was fantastic. However just step out the hotel and look up I'm sure you would get the same view but for free. Love the the video. Would like to see the same worst and best but with Air B'n'B.

    Hey Ben,
    Loving the video so far. The quality is awesome. I also just wanted to give you a video idea, can you do a living like *insert celebrity name here* video, some suggestions would be The Rock, Ali Abdaal (King of productivity), yourself? And honestly any other celebrities you can think of. If you could that then it would great, but I understand if you have bigger ideas, maybe on a rainy day you could film these. Thank you for the amazing quality content and have a great day.

    When I saw what the second hotel was called I was excited as I stayed there when it was called “The Hotel St. Moritz”. Was great value back when I stayed in the 90’s.. stayed in a junior suit overlooking Central Park which looked very similar to the room you stayed in.

  • @awokadzia

    Imagine taking the bed bugs with you in your backpack, on your clothes because this is how it happens frequently:/ And then you take them with you to a nice hotel. :D
    I experienced that 2,5years battle including chemicals and restoration if whole flat.
    Do not recommend.
    So every time I see this kind of video I only think about that.
    In every hostel I check every corner, beds, mattresses from above and beyond.
