Enjoying life, food, travel and anything else that crosses my path and seems fun
I slept behind a bookshelf in #amsterdam 🤩!
I was so excited to stay at the “Hotel Not Hotel“ (yes- that’s the actual name 😅) where they have loads of interesting rooms, I chose the one behind the bookshelf. Watch to see what it was like🥰

Can't beat that internal excitement in that moment of pure air time. 🌎✈️
Thank you for the video! I booked one of the capsule pods in this hostel for next month and it's great to hear your good review!
Which month is cheap hostels in London?
Thank you xx Glad you enjoyed x
Good video. I would suggest putting the name of the place in your video title though as you'll be more likely to show up in sewrch results that way.

Schöne Reise❤❤❤❤
😁👍🏻
Looks nice.
It was 🤩!
Thank you for all your tips. price you would pay for a hostel in #srilanka is so much cheaper than in london
Oh yes, I believe that😅! You’re welcome- and thanks for watching and commenting 😁
Youre very cute. Im gonna try this. I already sell banana lemonade which is fire
Banana lemonade sounds interesting. Good luck with the recipe 👍🏻
@@carolynsyoutubechannelHey, thanks for responding back. Thanks to you, I did try this recipe but put my own spin on this. Soo, here's what I did- I blended 2 avocados in my Vitamix with some water and 1 lime without the rind(you don't want that texture in there) a tablespoon of maple syrup, and pinch of kosher salt. Blend till smooth but don't over blend. Then pass the mixture to a fine mesh strainer. You're going to want to add more water with a whisk until the consistency is like a ranch dressing. Next, I use a 32 oz shaker cup, smash 1 fresh lime , add sugar to taste, 1/2 cup avocado mixture, ice to top, add water, shake for 45 seconds to melt sugar, then enjoy. It's really refreshing ❤
@broccolihart1 Sounds great 👍🏻
Hi Carolyn, thanks for the video. Im thinking of booking this hostel for my summertrip to London. But im a bit afraid it will be too hot inside one of those pods. Have you seen anything like Airconditiong? Thanks in advance :-)
Oh, that’s a good question- I think their was some kind of vent in there, but from my experience you can’t manually adjust the temperature at capsule hotels in general…. I think that is managed centrally. Have a great trip🤩
Thank you much for this video. Please can you give the name of this hostel . And where can i book in this hostel.
It’s the clink 261 hostel. You can book via their website or via the usual booking sites. Have a great trip😁👍🏻
Thank you much@@carolynsyoutubechannel

I love Glasgow
It was my first time there- I really enjoyed it 😁
Good - do go on the Glasgow Subway next time as it's like a smaller cousin version of the London Underground and adds to that slight sense of Glasgow being London's uncanny relative
@nickbiskinis4854 Noted- thanks for the tip 😅👍🏻😁
The room looks pretty similar to some of the cruise ship rooms I've stayed in, although a little bit bigger than the ones I can afford. ;) Is this an actual ship that can move? Does it ever?
Haha, I don’t know, that’s a good question 😅. I didn’t ask that or even think about it…. There’s something similar (albeit a lot smaller 😅) in Hamburg, Germany. That ship could actually move if it had to, but it never does. I could imagine the case is similar here😅….?
What a lovely review, and you seem such a natural, your channel deserves to be huge - wishing you well in your future travels , liked and subscribed ❤
Aw, bless you and thank you so much for your kind comment, Richard🥰. That made my day💙! Thank you for watching and subscribing 🥰👍🏻! Got some fun things coming up, so I hope you enjoy🥰

The best value hotel in London is undoubtedly the Premier Inn Heathrow Terminal 4 where rooms are often just £50 a night, but occasionally slightly less. But the main point is that the rooms are pretty new and quite large. And you can easily get into London via the Elizabeth Line or Piccadily Line. And of course if you have 2 people staying in the room, £25 each is particularly good value.
Sorry for the late reply, I only just saw your comment 😅…. I totally get where you’re coming from with best value for money, but I think that could be something different for everyone… I know that a lot of my followers are actually on a budget and appreciate when I test a hostel or so, because they get to see it before they go. They also might be travelling alone and won’t have the option to share a room and split the costs. I also often try out hotels that are somewhat unusual, purely for the experience. For me, best value can be a number of things. I think a hotel at Heathrow wouldn’t be an option for me, because I like to make the most out of my travel time and wouldn’t want to spend the time going there and back. And usually when I travel, I don’t spend much time in the room, so a place to sleep is sufficient (unless I am staying for the experience 😅). So I guess, „best value“ can mean a number of things and can be a personal preference. In this video, I was just shooting for „cheapest“ which it was at the time I booked….😅 Thanks again for stopping by my channel and have a great day 😁
Wish I could hear you better in the coffee shop. Maybe a little better mic setup for future vlogs?
Thanks for the comment and feedback 😅. You are absolutely right. Normally, AirPods should work better, but sometimes they don’t. No idea why- still have to figure that out😅. Not sure I’m comfortable enough yet vlogging in public to also set up a mic, but I will look into the options 😅. Maybe there’s something small😅👍🏻. Thank you🥰
@@carolynsyoutubechannel Yes, I use a small one from Movo. Your vlogs are great, keep it up!
Was it worth the price Carolyn?
Thanks for the comment. That’s a good question 😅. If you compare the size of the room with hotel prices, then of course not. But I don’t think it works that way😅. First of all, train fares can in general be quite expensive and I feel what you’re paying for here is the experience and adventure. So yes, I would say it’s worth it 😅🥰👍🏻. Hope that helps😅….?
Very nice review, really enjoyed viewing this and many thanks for sharing.
Oh he is beautiful, don’t tell my West 💙🐾🐾☀️
Thank you, I’ll tell him 😉🥰
...wow!...😳
Yes 🤩!

Yes, it really was 🤩! I can recommend the full vlog 😁👍🏻….
thanx for a very thorough review. My only quibble was the bed situation! eg did you have to sleep in bunk beds? and if you did, did you get to choose the bunk you wanted, in other words, the top or bottom bunk? i ask cuz a few years ago i was stuck for somewhere to stay in madrid for 1 night, and was forced to take the top bunk, which for me was a nightmare!!!
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😁. I understand- hm… Well, when I checked in I was given a bed (it was a bottom one), but I am sure you can ask. Or especially when you book in advance you could write them a message. Years ago I was in Spain for a few weeks (I walked the Camino) and as I fell out of a top bunk as a kid and ended up in hospital with concussion, I also prefer the bottom ones. I was in Spain for five weeks and apart from a few nights where I stayed at hotels, I was always in hostels with bunk beds. Not once did I have to sleep on the top 😅….
@@carolynsyoutubechannel you were very lucky, I did inter-rail in the early 80s and 8/10 I got stuck with the top bunk. I guess things are different now with internet.
@chiscoughlan5221 I don’t know🤷🏼♀️😅…. And I‘m sorry you weren’t so lucky…. I just think it’s common decency and good service- if someone asks for something and it’s available, why shouldn’t it be possible….? If of course there’s only one bed left and that’s a top bunk, that’s a different story, but other than that 😅….

Haha- algogehtso🤣🤣…. I was expecting more😅. The pistachio part was delicious, but I tried a few croissants from the same place and they were all “okay”🙈😅…. They look special from the outside and sell themselves as “instagrammable and viral”, but they were slightly dry, sticky and only had a tiny blob of creme in the middle. That’s why I didn’t share the place😅…. Still looks beautiful, though 😅. I recently went to “Et Claire” in Amsterdam and tried their croissants- they were absolutely amazing 🤩!
@@carolynsyoutubechannel ...klassischer Fall von "außen hui - innen naja"...🤔
@starbuck4373 Leider ja 🙈…. Und inzwischen probiere ich ja so viele dieser viralen Sachen für meinen Kanal😅…. Die Croissants haben mich leider wirklich nicht abgeholt 🙈. Und ich bin echt nicht verwöhnt beim Essen😅. Aber sie verkaufen sich als extrem schick und großartig und sind es eben nicht. Nur ein kleines bisschen Creme in der Mitte, zu der man sich durch ein trockenes Croissant durchfuttern muss 😅

was there wifi there?
Thanks for your comment- yes, there was 😁👍🏻
wonder how they meet fire safety code with these cabins.
I honestly didn’t worry about that for a minute- there was lightning everywhere and the emergency exit was always signposted. There are stairs, so the lift does not need to be used. Other than that, Germany has pretty strict regulations, I doubt they could open a new hotel without making sure everything is in order. Hope that helped :-).
@@carolynsyoutubechannel i am just curious. pod hotels in japan could learn a thing or two from them cuz u can see that even the most high end ones in japan dont have proper doors due to fire regulations.
@pecopeco5907 Sure, it’s a valid question 👍🏻. I have never been to Japan, so I haven’t had that experience, but of all the capsule hotels I have been to, especially the CAB 20 is honestly the one where I felt the safest. I didn’t feel unsafe in the others, though. Hope it helps 😄
