I was considering this for my wife’s 60th birthday early in the new year. I was planning to spend a grand (£1k) on a nice hotel with breakfast, plus an evening meal and a theatre show (another ~£500), but after this review it won’t be the Shanghai-La. The mattress is something that room staff should be checking every time they change the bedding with the current spate of hotel bed-bug infestations; so they really can’t claim they didn’t notice (or more worryingly, they are not checking!) The door leather damage is a clear example of letting a designer run wild with an idea, without ever considering the practicalities of real people bringing their oversized suitcases to the room - and that’s before the room staff scuff it with their trolleys when servicing each room. Finally, in a beautiful moment of spell checker irony, it autocorrected the hotel name to “shabbily” 🤔🤔🤔

Top tip for viewers - when a waiter pours you a small amount of the wine from the bottle, this is not to "try" it to see if you like the taste of the wine (and therefore decide if you will buy it!). It is to check /confirm the wine has not corked (reacted with the cork and gone off). You are supposed to just smell the wine (you can tell just by smelling). That's why this only happens with wine, and they don't ask you to try beers / spirits / cocktails. It is assummed you already know you like the wine, as you ordered it. If they open an expensive bottle of wine for you, and you try a little and say you don't like it, that could go on all night! It is simply to check it has not reacted with the cork and gone off to stop people drinking half the bottle then claiming it is corked (common in London). Please just smell the wine and confirm it is OK or not. Some low-end places don't even realise this and actually ask you to taste the wine as they think they are being posh in some way, without realising the consecquences if the customer decides they don't like it, so want a different bottle opening! Next time you order a £100 botle of wine and they do this, tell them you don't really like it, and see what they say ;-)

An interesting vlog Tim and the hotel has great views, but I don't think I would spend that much on a 1 night stay. Just to compare, I had a week in Austria half board at a 4 star hotel including flights for a similar cost. I know where I'd rather go!

Tim, what you paid for one night including food, we stayed at a 4-star hotel in Fuerteventura in the middle of November for a week all-inclusive. It was so good we are looking to go back this year, yes the view was not as great as yours, but it had new mattresses as it had just been renovated, the food was far better than what we expected for a holiday resort. Nice video Tim but not worth the 5-star rating for me

Maintenance required and should be reported by the Head housekeeper on a check list. Dinner portions were tiny and the service charge with QR code menu - points off! Pool looked good and cleanliness was not an issue. Great view spoiled by the tv in front of the window. Reception desk should provide a complaints/suggestion box

I stayed at what used to be The Palace in New York while training for a job, and when I checked bedding, the mattress and pad were stained. All I had to do was call the front desk, and when I got back from work, they had replaced the mattress and every piece of bedding. Frankly, with a hotel that big, it's hard for any staff go find everything wrong, so I've learned if you don't ask for things to be done, they don't get done. Be polite but firm, and the concierge will bend over backward to have it done. This is a five-star hotel in Manhattan. It wasn't like I was staying at Super 8.

Good on you Tim for your eagle eye!! I notice the "eye sores" wherever I go too. Just as you say, if the hotel is five star, scuffed doors are NOT acceptable anymore than grubby mattresses are. The room itself is attractive but its draw is definitely the view. The swimming pool must have been one of the highlights, that was a lovely area. I think even I could enjoy London from up there!!!! And yes!! The photos don´t always match the reality, do they? That was a nice choice of hotel to showcase.

Hi Tim….just found your channel and have watched several of your videos. Excellent. Going to subscribe, which I do not do that often, however, I know excellent KZitem content when I see it, and you are spot on. Thanks.

Wow, the views! And binoculars too! Right beneath where I used to come into work daily - I watched the Shard being built. Great attention to detail, but the state of the doors and the mattress, considering that it's not very old. And what if you. don't have a SMART phone to QR Code the menu? Btw, Jo Loves is Jo Malone. What an amazing experience though. Thanks Tim and Gaby!

Just because of where it is and with the view it has, I certainly do not think it justifies the price. Add to the equation of how tatty it was then I think the price becomes a little more obscene. As for the price of dinner? For "ordinary" folk like us, to pay that sort of money for a meal you would expect something very special. However, this is where the word "pretentious" is very apt. For example, your first experience of eating truffle, a rather expensive ingredient, that "doesn't really taste of anything". Now we come to breakfast. Buffet style brekkie looked ok but why the wait for fried eggs? I can understand a slight wait if you made a special order for poached eggs, but fried? Even the likes of Premier Inn can manage to supply fried eggs, buffet style. Far be it for me to say but I think it is time to for you to call out the poor quality issues of these expensive "luxury" places whilst you are actually in situ, if for no other reason but to test their onsite resolution processes. I would never have put up what you experienced, for the price you paid.
