I normally don't show bathrooms in a
video but I just went to the bathroom
and because this is an older building
that's been restored they try to keep a
lot of their original fixtures or they
try to keep the fixtures when they redo
it kind of similar to the old school
style so the bathroom materials what I
wanted to show you hi we're Kristen can

are half American and half Japanese and

grew up as military brats so were used
to moving from place to place that's why

I showed you our room and this is one of
the hotel rooms where you have to put
the key in here
and that way all the lights will come on
so it's to help conserve energy I like
it when the hotels do that this building
itself it's over a hundred years old so
a lot of the fixtures are original but
of course they've also update a lot of
things too
I really like the bathroom the one thing
I like about the bathroom is the door
I've never seen like a door like this in
a hotel I just I just like that it's
black and I don't know it just looks
really cool to me this shower is a
really good size there is no bathtub
just a shower but just fine with me I
rarely ever take baths in a hotel it's
got like the nice rainfall showerhead I
also like that they used to have the big
bottles of shampoo and conditioner I
hate getting those little bottles in
hotel rooms because it's never enough
shampoo conditioner for me cuz I have so
much hair I like how they also kept you
know some of the vintage vibes to it so
when they restored it like obviously
that's new but it still has like that
vintage vibe there's a toilet let's pick
a smaller area hood plenty of towels out
this is actually he did so it can heat
towels it's actually pretty hot so be
careful when you're touching I do like
that it's super bright in here I do not
like motels where it's super dark so
they give you plenty of light for us
ladies that like to do our makeup in the
bathroom I also like the magnifying
mirror
the only thing I don't like about this
bathroom if I had to think of a negative
is the space the counter space there's
really not a whole lot of space to put
my makeup so that's not my thing but
other than that I love the bathroom it's
a great cute continue bathroom
okay so then of course there's a safe
they have tea here don't they also have
wine glasses there and iron and iron
board this is our flat into the straight
a flat iron but they do give you a blow
dryer I did use the iron works great if
there's the ironing board we've already
hung up all our coats they gave you two
slippers I'm using one of them crystals
like I don't need you a slipper so and
I'm also using the robe and there's an
extra row but crystals like I don't need
a row because it doesn't need Roman
slippers like I do though I noticed when
I was in the bathroom I was like there's
no plug this sounds like how am I gonna
enjoy my hair I was looking around for
awhile like where is the plug I wish
they had the spine but I did find it so
on the bottom of this there is one plug
so if you need to blow-dry your hair
this is where you do it not in the
bathroom there's no there's like a
plugin for a shaver but that's like a
different plug so you can't use that for
the blow-dryer so that's what this is
here for and for those of us or those of
you who like to do yoga they actually
have a yoga mat and I don't even know if
there's room in here to do yoga but
maybe if you're a true yogi there are I
mean you don't really need much space I
don't know I'm not really good at yoga
so so this is our bedroom we initially
walked in because I've got a narrow
hallway when you walk in it seems like
it's just this bed right here but then
we see that it extends more so we're
like oh that's a lot of room and then we
also have another room over there but
I'll go there in a second
we slept last night very comfortably we
think that these rooms the windows are
soundproof because we're next to a
pretty busy square as we're actually in
the Russell Square location and there's
a lot of you know cars going going by or
buses people walking around but we heard
none of that
I got a nice reading lamp here you don't
want to bother your roommate and get
these cool phones I love red phone they
made it old-school too also if you want
to purchase one of these red phones they
have it for still downstairs they have
two plots here and
also I have USB chargers which I'm
charging my phone right now and you just
turn on these these guys and they'll
show you that it's charging with that
red light Oh
also if you do forget a converter they
provide you one in the drawer down here
so this is what their converters look
like make sure you get one of these I
almost forgot to bring one
so candy reminded me she didn't come
with me I probably had point but at
least the hotel has one just for people
like me this is candy side I'm using
this side Candy's athena side and on her
side she has a big TV and same thing she
has a drawer over there and plugs USB
chargers thank you and then over here is
our little living room this is this cute
we actually use it last night as a
little dining room because there's a
lots of great restaurants around here
restaurants being like fast food to have
a places so there's pizza there's tacos
and burritos
there's Asian oh where you could take
home they call it takeaway so you can
take it to go or you can eat it there so
candy and I I got the burrito and candy
got some pizza and
it's called Franco monka is the pizza
place there's a lot of people there
yesterday so we think it's a pretty
popular place and they make candies
pizza in a heart shape which I thought
was really cute and the burrito place
was pretty good too if you want to save
some money those are some great places
to go because our meal was probably six
to seven pounds each which isn't that
bad so here is our balcony we can't
actually go out and step out into it
maybe if you wanted some fresh air you
can open this so this is where it's
soundproof because there's a sliding
door here and then you have to open this
part so this is actually Palio the
original part of the hotel if it looks
it looks like a pan over and it still
looks a little bit like this part it's
probably done but she just it and then
it has like a little locking system on
the bottom or I can't open it anymore
but right across over there is Russell
Square and it is actually really nice
today is 64 degrees and the air coming
in is really nice so if you just want
some fresh air this is a great way to if
you want to hear some London ambience
you could open the door so yeah I think
originally loops originally when you
shut the door it was just this without
this light north part I don't think it
was that soundproof before but now that
they've added this
makes it really sound proof so which is
really thoughtful of captain
[Music]
I normally don't show bathrooms in a
video but I just went to the bathroom
and because this is an older building
that's Patrice's door they try to keep a
lot of their original fixtures or they
try to keep the fixtures when they redo
it kind of similar to the old school
style so the bathroom is really I want
to show you
[Music]
this is the old school toilet my Jack's
you have to flush it and even the sink
that kind of kept it kind of original
for the hot water and I was like Helen
the sink is in your own stall I found a
lot of faces been into London the sink
is in the bathroom stall which kind of
had like privacy I feel like but it's
probably because a lot of the bathroom
sorry men and women so we didn't really
gym clothes but this gym here is pretty
amazing for a hotel gym usually the
hotel gyms are tiny and there's not a
whole lot equipment but the read
treadmills uses like one or two items
own and usually like this is the size
but there's two sections and they've got
really heavy weights usually it's like
not too heavy like but they have two
different sets like a really heavy set
as smaller
and they give you an apple move I've
never seen a Jim offer apples
I feel like he actually brought my
checklist every cow
[Music]
so our time here at the Camden Fitzroy
London hotel has come to an end
I really liked my stay here one that it
was super convenient for everything we
did around London because of the the
train station or the underground is
basically like right next door that's
right around the corner right around the
corner so it was yeah just wake up and
then get on the train like and very
central to everything but you know you
still have some food options nearby and
cheap food options to our fast food was
probably around 6 to 8 pounds a meal
yeah and they have more gov option
they're good meals too they are it
wasn't like McDonald's or anything like
actual like homemade pizza what else was
there they had tacos and burritos which
was probably my favorite even had like a
Japanese store we can buy rice balls and
rice - rice bowls of curry
oh that's sushi - yeah Bobby I believe
and there's also then right across the
street from the underground is a
convenience store so that's that was
awesome - so I'm learned by water or
just like bytes on the go like or normal
bars or something or medication like
very standard medication or once you
know like ibuprofen and stuff like that
like you can get there so yeah it's like
a very convenient location or and right
and then our costs tree on the other
side is this really nice Park Russell
Square Park and it's a really nice place
to just hang out and relax if you're
into that we went there and a lot of
locals we're just hanging out taking a
stroll on the bench think we're in the
room yeah and there's like a small water
fountain there
lots of great things about this hotel
that we'd like to talk about there's so
many that I don't ever gonna be
convention all I mean as soon as we
walked in they greeted us they were
super friendly showed us to be the front
desk the concierge was super friendly we
really liked Paul he was so excited to
show us around the hotel because this is
a very historic hotel so you know he he
even took us upstairs and like hey Dad
check this out and gave us information
on like the marble because this is a
this building is over 100 years old I
was actually pretty amazed by the
stained glass it was it still the
original stained glass and the red
marble is all original original they
have a couple of dining options within
the hotel they have this cafe downstairs
that's really nice we love the decor of
it and they serve really healthy foods
and this opens a general public to it's
not just for hotel yes great food
selections very healthy I think they
like yogurt on the menu for breakfast
and we actually got toast and eggs which
is just like simple stuff like that and
the extras so it's phenomenal is so good
going back to the room another service
that they have is turndown service so
every night I was sitting around a dish
they would come by and check up on you
to see if you need any more towels I
mean they'll make up the room for you
again if you're not in the room but we
haven't always be in the room and asked
if we needed anything and they always
gave us two bottles of water and if we
needed extra towels or anything else
they would you know give us a non that
we needed want to thank I H G for this
wonderful stay
they couldn't ask for a better hotel to
stay in in London oh yeah this is
perfect
it was classy it had character the staff
was amazing and friendly every day yeah
I just can't say I mean the convenience
of the marination it was it was awesome
a top-notch experience for sure one of
the best hotels we stayed at yeah so if
