Good things can sometimes come from bad. I watched this video because the hotel is considered a "liminal space", I was not expecting the alarm situation. Made it even more interesting! 😆
Oh wow! Thanks for another great video, Jamie - that's not the experience you want the night before a 19+ hour flight! We had one evacuation the night before our flight to Orlando last year and that we bad enough, but 4 alarms?! Hopefully some lessons have been learned! Other than that it looks like a good hotel!
A few H&S issues I think. I couldn’t get over queuing down a fire escape staircase. That was crazy. On a lighter note you rocked the category of……a night of a thousand Kylies 😂. The Bali trip looks amazing too. Neil says thanks about the accessibility items you put in the vlogs too. It helps him out a lot. Safe trip home.
Drama!!!! It looks a lovely room but I swear to god someone would have died by that 2nd alarm. (Front desk person probably!). You worked the foil sheet though. Have fun in Bali 🍻
Yikes, not at all what you need the night before a long flight! We are booked to stay in Crowne Plaza side of this hotel this September, before our flight to Miami 😮
Hello sir, I'm having a 19 hour LHR connection flights both at T5. I reserved at this HIX T4. Do you recommend switching terminal first then go through passport point?
I was horrified to see all those people on the stairs - why on earth were they not moving??? Could it have been a sneaky smoker setting off the alarm?? Ummm!
Why would one pay for a hoppa. It's free to move between terminals on the tube/ Elizabeth line. Particularly when it'he station is 3min walk from the hotel.
Did you get a refund from this place? I'm sorry but being woken up 3 times by fire alarms is taking the piss! Hope u were able to recover from having interrupted sleep for your flight. Looking forward to your Bali videos 🎉😊
@@TravelBlogJamiethere’s a very popular liminal space image located on this hotel. It’s also a backrooms level which is a creepy-pasta or fictional horror place. 9:20 is what the image looks like expect dull with no lights and uncanny.
That is all you need the night before a long haul! What made me laugh was that after watching this the next video UA-cam suggested for me was about a cocktail called The Suffering Bastard 😄 (I don’t think you’re a b*stard) 😄
Disgraceful - hotel owners IHG have been on my permanent boycott list for the last two years following their disgusting treatment of staff and locals (members of their Holiday Inn leisure club, wedding bookers etc) when they took the Home Office 30 pieces of Home Office silver nearly 2 years ago.

It definitely didn’t feel interesting when trying to sleep ahead of an 18 hour flight 😂
Thanks for all the vlogs lately I have been enjoying them :)
🙏🙏🙏
Hotel looked very nice Jamie. Amanda said she would have decked someone after the second alarm lol
I was close 😆
This didn’t end well… 😂

It was a long night and subsequent journey lol 😆
Oh What a night! Why am I humming a Four Seasons’ song as I type. Looking forward to the next stage of your expedition.
Hahaha! I’m humming it as well now!
I have just booked my first airport hotel I’m equally nervous and excited about it ❤
It will be much better than this!!
its the liminal hotel!

Thank you! Just in Doha and then final leg of journey home ❤️
Hmmm try the premier inn just next door much cheaper and a lovely hotel and they have the good nights sleep guarantee 😀
I like to try all of them 😉

We love a bit of drama before a looooong flight to Bali 😯
They certainly now how to charge for food 🤗🤣
Yes they’re good at that

I do think it’s a good hotel and up until those alarms it was a nice stay lol
Hope you let them know about the stair problems during the fire alarms,
I did indeed

I’m sorry I’ve never done this so I am not best placed to comment / advise
I was horrified to see all those people on the stairs - why on earth were they not moving??? Could it have been a sneaky smoker setting off the alarm?? Ummm!
I don’t know why they weren’t moving either!!
Truly shocking to see how poor the hotel fire safety measures are.
I've now cancelled my April booking.... based on this. Premier Inn here I come.
I was not impressed nor with the after care messages
Very modern, clean room. Shame about the fire alarm, but it's not the hotels fault that people are smoking.
But it is their fault that the staff didn’t know how to handle an evacuation
@@TravelBlogJamie that is true.. I still can't believe it went off 3 times! Did you at least get some sleep on the flight?
Why would one pay for a hoppa. It's free to move between terminals on the tube/ Elizabeth line. Particularly when it'he station is 3min walk from the hotel.
Because some people won’t want to carry their luggage with them
Hopefully you will get some sort of compensation for that horrible night of alarms.
Cough - nope
1 ring, 2 rings, 3 rings no no no
Waaa 😭
@@TravelBlogJamie Things could only improve
I would never stay at this hotel but I did enjoyed your Vlog. thank you Jamie. Pity no glorious yellow tiles. Follow the yellow tiled tile.
👍👍👍

Nope - they offered a free upgrade to a better room the next time - pretty poor really
@@TravelBlogJamie Oh that is horrible. I think you need to write to the IHG hotel group.
I noticed you didn't say thank you fire alarm
9:18
What happens at 9.18

Lol 😆 Sounded perfect!
Lenny Henry wouldn’t be impressed 😂
Lol 😆
Good thing Lenny Henry prefers Premier inn 😂
What a nightmare, hope you get to sleep on your long journey.
Well I did get to sleep, yes!
