The Resident gave ITU nurses who worked directly with covid patients a free stay at their hotels to say thank you. My mum who's a nurse brought me along and yes Grace - the loveliest hotel staff ever!
The extra knickers and socks debate question. For some reason I was always taught to pack like you are going to get uncontrollable food poisoning every day of your trip. My family is very paranoid though so... Great video! I would love an upscale hotel and resort honest reviews from you.
Hi Grace!, just wanted to say hello, I don’t really have many friends and I lost my dad when I was 19. I don’t have much in life but watching you feels like I have a pen pal who keeps me appreciated by sharing their trips with me Lol. Thanks for making my day and making me feel whole again. ❤ xx
Perfect timing this video Grace. I've actually booked this exact hotel for me and my partner in January. Very excited to stay here. Keep up the good work :)
Gracie, this vlog makes me feel like taking a day off and just going to London by myself and enjoy my own company. Challenge myself to find little new things to try e.g. chocolate or beauty product (that won't be expensive) and just have a change of scenery.
I always heard that the stars mean the hotel has additional amenities. We just assume with more amenities the better it will be but its not always true. Lots of love to you Grace!
Entirely true! The stars are fairly arbitrary. It's things like having fresh flowers in the lobby, having a restaurant on site, having a gym on site, etc.
Those pj’s look beautiful. Extra pants and socks a must in my book. You may be caught out by your time of the month. You might get caught in heavy rain and get wet feet. You would need shoes as well. If you are walking lots, two pairs of socks worn at the same time can help prevent or cushion blisters.
Maybee for one the next vlogs we could all help you re-organize your bedroom.Give us the dimensions, a plan where door and window are, height and width of walls and we can propose solutions. By the look of your bedroom door , you seem to need more wardrobe space....HELLO IKEA!!!!
There is a pancake machine at the holiday inn in Farnborough. I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same as you mean but it’s pretty cool. Their breakfasts are insane.
I stayed at The Corner, London city in Whitechapel and I am so sure they had the pancake machine you’re talking about! It’s also part of the travel sustainable programme which is pretty cool!
Hey Grackle, my Mom and I love your videos, and I just wanted to let you know for a little constructive critique that in a couple of recent ones we've noticed a couple points where the music seems to be quite loud while you're speaking, and we've found it a bit distracting from what you're saying, which is a bummer because we'd like to hear what you're saying :) Just wanted to give you a heads up, but otherwise the videos are lovely and it's fun to see you exploring different places and such! I hope you had a nice trip!
She posted something on Insta about a week ago about pre-Christmas vlogs, I'm so excited for when they might finally come out way... in the meantime, I'm already re-watching all the old content 😂😂
What lovely pajamas, Grace. Maybe you should have snuggled into that duvet until 11, and then gone breakfast hunting! Bring a few morning snacks for your next hotel, if it doesn't have food. So disappointing when they don't! I'd like to see you make a Delia Smith Christmas cake. She has several to choose from.
I haven't finished so this might be pointless but no buffet doesn't mean no bfast, I mean just a la carte I thought...more common after covid Oops watched the rest and yeah, well maybe they had a restaurant but not open for bfast? Lol
I'm guessing because you get a kitchen area, their intention is that you make your own breakfast. Which is a nice option, but sometimes you want some sort of provided breakfast (either buffet or cook to order).
I have always wanted to visit London, im in America and that would be a dream vacation to visit London!! Thats for showing us the hotel a little bit of the city
I actually did turtle fall with my sixth grade camp backpack carrying all our sandwiches!😮 I was lighter than the backpack and yet the teachers thought I should have a turn.😂 About the showering - I'm in California and most of the people and family I know shower at night. Is it a US thing?
I’m pretty sure all holiday inns have pancake machines. I’ve stayed at the Guildford one before when I went to London with my family, and that one has a pool and gym as well.
I always pack extra knickers and socks 😆. I’ve needed the extra socks a few times when I’ve got my feet wet but the knickers thing is just psychological 😆
I loves this!! Actually I love all of your videos. This is the first comment I’ve made on one ☺️ I WISH that I had London just up the road from me… but alas I am in New Zealand! I love seeing UA-camrs like you because I feel like you’re so relatable! I find a lot of content so out of reach and unrealistic these days. It’s nice to see an account that doesn’t constantly contain a $1000 skincare and makeup routine at the beginning of each video (ofc I still watch those haha.) Could I just ask what style of Carhartt pants you are wearing? They are just what I’m looking for :D
Chuffed is like happy/excited. "I'm so chuffed they had my favourite dessert on the menu". Faffed is either "I faffed about" - "I wasted time/had little purpose" or "faffed" can be used for "I can't be bothered" usually a polite expression instead of swearing/cussing.
I love your vlogs so much, but I'm getting annoyed at the number of times I have to stop to read the captions. I'm a quick reader and with all the stopping and starting it ruins the flow and makes the videos twice as long to watch. I don't know the solution .. as annoyed as I am I'll still watch :D
I really like your jumper (stripy number at the start of the vid) where's it from? Haven't finished the video but thanks for making Mondays not so bad 😊❤
Hi Grace, I’m sure you’ll never see this, but you once posted a video, and in it, for a small clip, you showed some bath things from homesense that you said you loved….I can’t find the video (it was probably over 2 years ago) and I’ve always wanted to try whatever they were from that video but there isn’t one local to me…..well now there is!!! Please please please tell me what they were, I’d be forever grateful. I have a feeling they changed the bath colour, but I could be wrong ❤❤
Does anyone know the brand/name of the backpack that Grace used - she showed the inside of it etc but didn't give the name of it - would love to get one for a gift for Xmas
Loved this ☺️ Love all your vlogs. Your PJ's were so beautiful! 😍 I would love to see you stay in the worst rated hotel in London as I'd love to see what that was like but equally I wouldn't want you to go through the likely terrible experience 😂
Ah! I have the same bag (but grey) and I never stop blabbing on about it to anyone that listens. You can also stick a long side strap on and it turns into a kinda duffel bag? Its main problem is that its huge and I overfill it, and am somehow grumpy and overtired. So I've recently developed the weak back of a pensioner and migrated onto to angry wheely suitcase lady who cant steer.
@@oceanly2675 mines an eastpak tranzpak. I got it immaculate off Depop for a barggggaaaaaiiinnnnn. Graces is missing some branding, so maybe it’s a dupe, but it’s bloody identical looking
Ok ya'll tell the American what the heck is a "flannel" ?? It's in the bathroom apparently, we have hand towels, bathe towels, and wash cloths lol 😆 flannels here are shirts and pajamas lol 😆
Hi Grace☺️ I hope you are well☺️ Sorry to bother you. Hope you don't mind me writing to you and this doesn't come across rude. I was just a little worried that you went walking in the dark. Sometimes people could hurt you. Just want to make sure you are safe. Sorry again if this comes across rude. Hope you have a lovely day💕
I’m such a chicken i wouldn’t dare walk anywhere on my own in the dark and I live in a tiny village but definitely not brave enough to do it in London well done to you
Having grown up in a big town and lived in two big cities for uni, I feel safer walking around at night in big cities, well-lit, busier roads, people around if something were to happen Idk just feels safer
@@MelissaThompson432 ah ok. Thanks for replying. I wasn’t sure because I’m sure she did patisserie years ago or something in uni. It’s crazy how much one can earn on here. 😱
@@sophiamonet7350 she did. I don't know the proper thing to call it but it was a very thorough baking course. I believe she started the UA-cam thing on a whim, and it kind of escaped its pen and took off running, I think....

Would be great to see Christmas bakes from around the world! Love to see your hotel reviews + travel videos.
Love this idea! Savoury and sweet bakes!
Perfect timing this video Grace. I've actually booked this exact hotel for me and my partner in January. Very excited to stay here. Keep up the good work :)
Would love to see you make the 'Off Menu' podcast meal of a celeb you like, there's been some absolutely epic combos
brilliant idea

Always nice to see you exploring some new areas.

Entirely true! The stars are fairly arbitrary. It's things like having fresh flowers in the lobby, having a restaurant on site, having a gym on site, etc.
I’m really invested in this hotel saga, I just had my first experience staying in a capsule hotel and it was so fun hahahaha

If you are walking lots, two pairs of socks worn at the same time can help prevent or cushion blisters.
£270 for the cheapest night! Think I'll stick with Premier Inn as the room is pretty much the same and at least you can get a decent breakfast.

Hi Grace where did you get your PJs from? Love them 🤩
you make me smile more than anyone else on UA-cam does. Thank you for being so humble and so far from fake

Flicking the polo moment made me release a tiny touch of urine. Hilarious 😂 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅
I wanna see the top rated roast dinner in London as xmas is coming up 😊
I've stayed at the Resident Kensington x 2, its perfect for solo travelers. Agree, staff very nice & helpful.
If something gives you comfort then is not excessive 💖
Commenting before I watch. I love this hotel so hoping you give it a great review!
pls film your annual eating chrimbo foods for 24 hours! to show us all supermarkets new seasonal foods xx

How did it get such good reviews when it doesn't have a breakfast buffet? What the heck? Do they not know that you're coming? 😔
I haven't finished so this might be pointless but no buffet doesn't mean no bfast, I mean just a la carte I thought...more common after covid
Oops watched the rest and yeah, well maybe they had a restaurant but not open for bfast? Lol

😂 A breakfast buffet is a MUST for our Grax
Hi Grace, what brand is the backpack? Thanks
Grace you’ve gotta go try the viral supreme croissant at Philippe Conticini!
Your videos have shown me, that you do not need to be in a relationship to have fun and do cool things x
Can we talk about how adorable you are! You are such a breath of fresh air Grace. Luv from the States
Could you visit and review Max's Sandwich Shop the next time you're in London? I'm so curious about the food! (But alas, I'm in the wrong country)
I have always wanted to visit London, im in America and that would be a dream vacation to visit London!! Thats for showing us the hotel a little bit of the city
Rococo fresh counter is the BEST! Love it ❤
I actually did turtle fall with my sixth grade camp backpack carrying all our sandwiches!😮 I was lighter than the backpack and yet the teachers thought I should have a turn.😂 About the showering - I'm in California and most of the people and family I know shower at night. Is it a US thing?
I find the best way to describe miso things as funky
Very honest- Good review!
Grace! Can you please link your PJs? They are too cute!!
I’m pretty sure all holiday inns have pancake machines. I’ve stayed at the Guildford one before when I went to London with my family, and that one has a pool and gym as well.
I always pack extra knickers and socks 😆. I’ve needed the extra socks a few times when I’ve got my feet wet but the knickers thing is just psychological 😆
Grace being like it’s rude to just leave the dishes ..then i am the rudest ever. Lol
Love the pjs
LOVE those pj’s you wore
Kitchenette! Best thing ever. I’ve never found a hotel room with that.
Love your honest review videos ❤

No breakfast buffet, no robes and no bath!! Wouldn't be a grackle top hotel 😝
What makes something a 4 star hotel?
Prices quoted are nearly all for standard rooms, it's nr £300 for a 1 night stay in a superior double so it's not value for money .
We stayed there for a couple of days and had breakfast, just downstairs, at Pret.
Hi, for a non-Brit can someone explain the difference between "chuffed" and "faffed" lol thanks
Chuffed is like happy/excited. "I'm so chuffed they had my favourite dessert on the menu". Faffed is either "I faffed about" - "I wasted time/had little purpose" or "faffed" can be used for "I can't be bothered" usually a polite expression instead of swearing/cussing.
@@JB-vd8bi Thanks so much!
Grace you are a breath of fresh air ♥️. Sending some love from Florida to you!
I have tried a pancake machine in a Holiday Inn...very underwhelming pancakes to eat but fun to make.
I love your vlogs so much, but I'm getting annoyed at the number of times I have to stop to read the captions. I'm a quick reader and with all the stopping and starting it ruins the flow and makes the videos twice as long to watch. I don't know the solution .. as annoyed as I am I'll still watch :D
I agree...the white font is hard to read too
hey grace, random but do you wear both gold and silver earrings and where do you get them from??x
I really like your jumper (stripy number at the start of the vid) where's it from? Haven't finished the video but thanks for making Mondays not so bad 😊❤
Hi Grackle. I love your makeup. Please do your daily makeup tutorial video. 😁
What the prize is about
So fun Grace! Loved this! 🤗❤👍👍👍👍👍💕💕
Would you do a week of unsponsored hellofresh meals please really want to know if it’s worth it! Xx

£257 for a shoe box with no breakfast ..... only in London!!! what should we really pay for? the room, location, convenience, comfort, or service.

I have linked it 🎉

What the brand of that backpack?
your content is just GREAT.
where r ur trousers from? x
Grace come to dublin!!
Where’s that backpack from???
Visit Swansea! Especially Mumbles and get a joes icecream
I LOVE YOUR PJS! Where are they from? 😘
What was the name of the hotel?
Such a cosy video
Anyone knows what brand is that backpack??
She's linked it
Ooooh... Thankss
but the mildew under the shampoo station was gross!
even for London this is bad. the window is so close to the street, everyone can see in. felt very cheap, 1.5/5.
Not to be rude but this was graces own view on it 🙂 it’s personal opinion

it would be fun to turn the lights out in your room at night and leave the window open and watch the crackheads walk by
What a con! It looks like a cheaply decorated studio flat and they don't even serve breakfast?
