Video subtitles: I stayed at the WORST RATED HOTEL IN LONDON for the night
00:00
I don't want to know what that is oh hey
00:05
I don't know what that is that's brown
00:07
and it's a scam bucks no I swear you
00:15
like just like to see me suffer okay so
00:18
a couple of weeks ago we went and stayed
00:20
in the worst rated hotel in Birmingham
00:22
if you missed it 100% going check that
00:25
out and it is time again but this time
00:27
we're going to London times gonna be
00:30
different because we're gonna be staying
00:31
in a wonderful establishment called
00:33
Hotel Sofia is right next door to
00:36
Paddington Station
00:37
it cost me you know what I'm gonna keep
00:41
that one under wraps I'm not gonna let
00:43
you know how much it cost until after I
00:45
don't want it to sway you but let's just
00:46
say if it's just at least a fraction
00:50
decent it's worth it we are upping the
00:53
ante in this video
00:54
ladies and gentlemen and my non-binary
00:56
beauties because I went onto Amazon and
00:59
as per your request
01:01
God backlight we can rip everything
01:04
apart pull the sheets of look at the
01:06
mattress look at the pillows the
01:07
bathroom I also picked up some white
01:09
cotton gloves so we can examine the dust
01:12
levels and we're just going full
01:14
investigation mode so full disclaimer
01:17
this is the worst rated hotel I'm not
01:20
calling it the worst hotel it's just
01:22
simple fact that it's one of the worst
01:24
rated hotels in London okay so this
01:27
hotel got one excellent rating one three
01:32
good 14 average 27 pool and 80 terrible
01:37
it looks great but unlike the Britannia
01:40
hotel that we did in Birmingham maybe a
01:41
couple of weeks ago
01:42
this one doesn't try and lie with the
01:44
expectation versus reality on the room
01:46
but how horrible is it let's read some
01:48
reviews hell hole one circle this is
01:51
quite definitely West they find there
01:53
the same dirty shower did not work
01:54
properly team he did not work absolutely
01:56
awful what is it did not feel safe
01:58
fabulous hotel from hell hands down the
02:01
worst hotel I've ever been - smelly
02:03
filthy but rhythm the only thing
02:06
sound about the only thing is if there
02:09
are bedbugs and I can't change into a
02:11
room that doesn't have bedbugs I
02:13
honestly will not stay there and getting
02:16
a last minute sounded really expensive
02:19
so let's hope there's no air little
02:21
critters joining us don't book here
02:24
worst and terrible don't book yet will
02:26
disappoint your whole trip real
02:28
nightmare the bed had live bugs and I
02:32
think that's enough reviews I'm going to
02:34
finish packing we're gonna head down to
02:35
London and I will see you a hotel Sofia
02:38
well we'll get our investigation hats on
02:41
and pray to all the lords that we can
02:46
sleep in that establishment tonight's
02:52
[Music]
02:53
they say shooting for one night
03:02
[Music]
03:26
no bags go on the bed until we check it
03:30
right quick overview this is the room
03:35
mean from a distance doesn't look bad at
03:39
all for what you're paying which I'll
03:42
tell you soon
03:43
oh god oh god oh god the stains oh my
03:48
god
03:49
it's okay nice another drip you tap is
03:54
this a thing okay we need to go through
03:59
specifics got my cheap white gloves on
04:02
from Amazon I feel like a crime
04:03
detective or something okay there's a
04:06
lot to cover we're gonna start with the
04:08
entrance do a really good walkthrough I
04:12
guess some lights it was already on
04:17
excellent nice crack there but I ain't
04:20
gonna hold that against them good
04:22
Anthony skirting boards now
04:27
oh my god it's thick it's thick that's
04:34
really my stuff since days I don't want
04:39
to know what that is
04:40
Oh me I don't know what that is but it's
04:45
brown and it's a steer then we have the
04:48
bathroom door
04:50
nice nice if they like fill that in with
04:54
cardboard that's lovely that how did it
05:00
get there that is my question all right
05:02
we're gonna do it because I mean that
05:04
was from the skirting board so we're
05:06
going to look to the other finger okay
05:11
never heard I'm gonna have to ask Adam
05:14
Scott what this is all about
05:15
that's the electrician only he was here
05:18
to save me now what is that that red
05:23
thing again Eli Scott oh no it gets
05:28
worse oh wow that is thick that is
05:37
really thick you seal the skirting like
05:41
board linings whatever you call these
05:43
the trimmings very new look in very good
05:46
condition
05:47
oh and then we have some lush stains
05:49
right there that is nice Oh more oh it
05:52
doesn't end all we have a nice splatter
05:55
something again not sure I want to know
05:59
army you know they need just need a
06:01
little pledge I need a little pledge in
06:02
their life on that behind nothing
06:07
untoward Oh God
06:09
the cats or now from the last one
06:11
someone's home it's about you check the
06:12
kettle this time and this one is already
06:16
giving me the I don't need coffee in my
06:19
life anymore vibe which if you know me
06:22
says a lot
06:23
so the kettle itself is absolutely
06:25
filthy on the outside I mean it hasn't
06:28
even been wiped
06:29
oh that's a buildup
06:35
you've got ah oh that oh that is
06:40
disgusting that is so I don't know if
06:44
you can see that even Wow
06:50
Oh God the mugs no hold on I need light
06:57
for this
07:00
oh my god they have their rank ah me are
07:10
you clear that no one uses these cups
07:13
and haven't for a long time what about
07:16
just surface dust cuz alright they don't
07:18
clean the skirting boards but surely
07:20
they give the surfaces of wipe all
07:23
there's a hair I kidding oh it's sticky
07:25
there you know you're just passing
07:27
sticky not not horrific but it's like
07:32
all sticky there what is that nasty
07:37
right so yep
07:43
nice Oh lovely
07:47
oh that's fabulous so many hairs it's
07:52
like a family of hairs
07:54
Oh DNA that's in this room new clothes
07:59
[Music]
08:01
are you oh you do Oh
08:08
now you don't oh god it's like falling
08:17
apart on me okay so the window doesn't
08:21
close that's fab in winter I'm glad they
08:25
have that feature it's like the air
08:27
conditioning he never asked for in
08:28
February in London you okay for the bed
08:31
we're gonna do is we're gonna do black
08:33
lights last I just need to check for
08:36
bedbugs and visible stains to the naked
08:39
eye first I'm gonna give myself a little
08:41
bit of privacy because people are
08:43
definitely watching all right there's
08:46
some fresh gloves on so I don't dirty up
08:47
the bed and be misleading so we've got
08:49
our two beauty soaps love live let's do
08:52
the towels first from first glance not
08:56
bad at all oh oh nice well you know
08:59
wouldn't be a party without you babe oh
09:03
you know oh another one and another one
09:08
and another one
09:11
my god it's just covered in people and
09:14
of course one on the pillow nice
09:17
lost stain there lovely so someone asked
09:21
me in the last video how do I check for
09:23
bedbugs right if you can't actually see
09:26
bedbugs then you need to look for little
09:30
red dots on the cover so what you do is
09:33
you pull back on this and they'll
09:39
normally be hiding like around the seams
09:41
and stuff in here so you want to check
09:47
like all of the edges they're really
09:50
tiny when they haven't been feeding
09:52
that's why normally if you look for red
09:54
spots and stuff you it's a giveaway sign
09:56
and if it's absolutely over in like
09:59
infested they will crawl up the walls
10:02
but apparently if they're crawling up
10:04
the walls that's like next-level in
10:06
infestation kind of thing so give me a
10:09
second okay so far so good
10:20
lordy Lordy I think we're all right
10:23
right I think we're okay for bedbugs I
10:26
don't see any sign of bedbugs no little
10:29
black bugs obviously or any spots
10:31
staining nothing creepy crawly no even
10:34
tiny low black spots like those one but
10:37
it was Beth laughs I watched her and it
10:39
was so tiny and I just picked up this
10:41
fluff so I think we're good I think we
10:43
can stay here tonight
10:44
yay bathroom nice all right let's start
10:50
a sink and the lights is oh my god my
10:58
wall is going on
11:01
the mirror is filthy it's gonna be
11:04
really hard to show you it's got lots of
11:08
splatters on it well now that's the kind
11:13
of sinkhole you like to see look at it
11:16
it coats it in God knows what side so
11:20
again we understand at the bottom of the
11:22
walls the connector to the floor
11:24
I'm not Wayne oh here Oh noise oh I mean
11:37
come on at least clean the toilet oh why
11:48
is this not clean much as I stood I
11:54
slightly listening to this I have the
11:56
bloody ha oh come on you cannot run a
12:00
hotel like this
12:03
you want to use these it's just our
12:09
gonna trick for the shower nice
12:13
oh I love a gradient I love a good
12:16
gradient okay
12:18
start from the bottom work our way up so
12:20
go lots of like watermarks which oh my
12:23
god they come off so easy there's no
12:25
excuse for this this is the end of the
12:29
shower curtain Mamma Mia
12:32
well that's nice I like that oh we got
12:35
some mold love a bit of mold it's like
12:40
everywhere you turn
12:42
oh it's the moment you're all waiting
12:44
for it's got actually said to me you
12:46
actually gonna do the blacklight on the
12:47
bed before you have to get in it because
12:49
I do it in the morning I'm like no I
12:51
need to do it today
12:51
I like this half face we got I'm gonna
12:53
see if we get dark enough though with
12:55
these curtains they'll show up otherwise
12:57
we're gonna have to wait till later to
12:58
get the full effect
13:01
they go all right curtains have been
13:04
closed kind of waiting yeah they're
13:17
pretty clean
13:23
[Music]
13:24
hmm okay towels pass the test pillowcase
13:29
is clean right pillowcases are clean oh
13:36
wow
13:38
I say let's take the pillowcase off I
13:42
first like have alien it's like a pod no
13:46
way how old are they no pillow
13:51
protectors Ben I'm not overly surprised
13:53
Wow that is bold nothing crazy
13:59
except for the states of this pillow
14:02
another hair lush take it away I mean at
14:08
that and that's real bad but in terms of
14:14
stains sweat stains etc I mean maybe
14:20
it's just so old it's just a pile of
14:21
dust now but nothing showing up actually
14:25
quite disappointed Oh
14:29
oh that's nice oh that's so nice
14:35
get off so I need I might
14:38
okay nevermind what is that
14:47
nice trip the bloody hell is up
14:55
Hey
14:58
God feels like a sign can you not even
15:01
see that
15:04
why does this say a there when I shine
15:07
this light on it
15:09
no bueno okay I think it's pretty safe
15:12
to get on oh oh oh when your knee hits a
15:17
spring then the floor hooray right I
15:20
want to say that in general they've
15:24
cleaned the sheets pretty well before it
15:26
is time so this is a pretty new mattress
15:31
because I heard all the new ones now
15:33
come with big tears in them oh that's
15:35
nice
15:37
see that right there you know I think
15:41
the bed I was expecting worse I'm not
15:45
gonna lie I was expecting worse that's
15:52
on the shower
15:59
oh that's really good that's really nice
16:02
oh I didn't even think to check under
16:05
here
16:06
whoa I didn't even think to look under
16:11
here
16:16
Wow oh wow
16:21
oh that looks like bloody I don't know I
16:28
mean that I don't want to see that I
16:35
gotta use that so it is now a 3 p.m.
16:43
we've done our walkthroughs doing our
16:44
white glove we can conclude it's
16:47
absolutely filthy and disgusting ok but
16:50
there are no bedbugs and they'll barely
16:52
any stains on the mattress and the
16:53
sheets do seem to be clean so oh no go
16:56
ahead now I've found a cafe or a bar or
16:58
something and just do some work for
16:59
esterday and not be in this room and
17:01
then we're gonna come back tonight
17:03
of course or film then we'll film then I
17:10
will get some sleep and we'll do the
17:12
whole nighttime thing but I think that's
17:14
enough for me just for now I hope you're
17:17
enjoying it so far
17:18
I'll see you tonight I've high bun which
17:21
means it is time for bed
17:24
Oh ahh so comfortable so luxurious okay
17:29
so I'm gonna try and sleep tonight
17:31
actually I've gotta say this bed is nice
17:35
but how does the one in Birmingham we're
17:37
gonna sleep it's very noisy the moment
17:39
an ambulance or police car comes past
17:41
coz I can't close the window it's very
17:43
loud but I've got some Shane Dawson to
17:46
watch so I will be okay and I will ever
17:49
give you updates
17:50
hopefully not through the nights cuz I
17:52
will sleep through the night but we
17:54
shall see we shall see on it you know I
18:04
just missed like a nice chorus of cars
18:11
there was nice I enjoyed that the
18:14
beeping that's horns that's Pleasant
18:19
my throat is really a tube full of dust
18:25
you know I didn't realize yesterday the
18:30
heavy hand towels that Heine good
18:35
morning how is everyone
18:37
would you believe I slept through the
18:40
night
18:41
morning London huh Oh lovely sky
19:08
breakfast I was gonna sit there and film
19:20
a little video but maybe not would you
19:26
believe I actually had a really good
19:29
sleep last night it took me a long time
19:31
to get to sleep don't get me wrong what
19:34
is it with these really bad hotels that
19:35
I have really good night sleeps
19:37
maybe I just belong in the dirt and the
19:40
filth little hand towels just sit on
19:43
here
19:43
we can talk I'm gonna run through some
19:46
ratings and just give this place an
19:49
overview this hotel right next to
19:52
Paddington train station which is
19:54
literally just there cost 40 pounds a
19:58
night when I saw this I was like it's
20:00
gonna have to be pretty bad to kind of
20:02
counteract the incredible one location
20:05
and to price center of London except
20:08
Paddington Station for 40 pounds a night
20:10
that is insane but so is this room okay
20:14
so ratings the staff have been nothing
20:17
but nice so far nothing but friendly the
20:21
person who checked me in last night
20:22
absolutely lovely kind whatever for the
20:25
staff at least an eighth complimentary
20:28
shampoos out of ten for the location
20:31
I've gotta give it an 8 I've got to give
20:32
it an 8 out of 10 - location I wouldn't
20:34
give in 10 just cuz it is so noisy at
20:38
night and in the morn
20:39
there's no way you can relay drillings
20:41
already started for me the perfect
20:43
location of a hotel is like near this
20:46
kind of place which is slightly off side
20:48
waiting a little bit of quiet but I
20:50
easily hello
20:51
cleanliness I'm sorry I've got to give
20:54
the cleanliness rating a one bedbug out
20:57
of ten because at least the sheets were
21:00
clean got just everywhere I'm looking
21:02
it's just absolutely disgusting and to
21:05
me it's not like the Birmingham one at
21:07
least the Birmingham one was pretty
21:10
clean except for under the bed in the
21:12
skirting boards but it was nothing like
21:14
this the Birmingham one in terms of that
21:16
we should super outdated and broken my
21:19
mind there is no excuse for hotel to be
21:24
this dirty a little soap and water it's
21:28
not expensive but oh my god it's got to
21:30
a point where they'd have to literally
21:33
gut the place now
21:40
and a good morning to you too I guess
21:43
they'll be fried chicken it would have
21:44
to take a lot for me not to recommend
21:47
this even as a backup because with the
21:49
Birmingham one I always I said you know
21:51
look if you really need there just a
21:53
place to crash further price it's a
21:56
bargain it's not the greatest place but
21:58
you'll survive for the night I can not
22:01
even for forty pounds near Paddington
22:04
Station in this location and that ranked
22:06
I can't recommend it I cannot even
22:10
recommend it even if I mean you'd have
22:12
to be really desperate really really
22:16
stop it
22:18
really really desperate um yeah I can't
22:21
I can't I'm sorry
22:22
so whilst the staff and the location it
22:25
got high scores I don't even feel fair
22:28
giving it an average because those two
22:31
scores would bring it up because within
22:33
the room and the bathroom and everything
22:36
is so bad I can't give it it even half
22:40
decent rating so there we have it
22:43
Hotel Sophia in London and one thousand
22:47
and something kind of one thousand or
22:48
something it was like pretty much at the
22:50
bottom of over a thousand hotels in
22:52
London and I know why now but anyway I
22:55
hope you enjoyed another episode of me
22:58
investigating of the worst rated hotels
23:01
to be fair even though it's grimy it's
23:05
dirty it's a lot of fun to make these
23:07
videos and I'm really glad that you are
23:08
enjoying them as well so if you have any
23:11
other hotels in the UK or abroad and put
23:14
together like a list whenever you put
23:15
recommendations in I'm straight to
23:17
TripAdvisor to see what the rating is
23:18
and things like that
23:19
so do let me know down below if you had
23:21
a horrific hotel experience and where I
23:23
should visit next yeah I love you and
23:25
leave you and I'll see you in the next
23:26
video so I just checked out and the
23:31
cleaner took my key and I asked for an
23:33
invoice so I can claim
23:36
and just tell me the receptionist is
23:39
asleep I said what can you wake them up
23:42
I mean it makes sense if they using that
23:47
mop
