It's now 2026.

I have booked one night in a five star hotel in Shoreditch in East London,

which is kind of like the trendy, kind of cool part of London.

Today we are staying in the Athos hotel.

It's really, really hot in London today.

So I'm excited to go somewhere with air conditioning.

The hotel is right here in front of me.

So let's go check in.

- The corridor is quite dark and like,

has these gold lights and let's tap here.

We just got into the room.

It's so cool in here.

Like temperature.

The temperature is cool.

They left the air conditioning on.

So that helps like so much.

Because outside today it's literally like 31 hours degrees or 32

or something like this which in London there isn't a lot of air conditioning.

I'm gonna do this in the style of like Hannah Ricketts.

I watched a few of her videos but she always says the price of the room as she goes in.

I'm going to do the same thing and you can tell me

if you think that this room is worth that money or or not.

For this room which was the executive I paid for around 400 pounds.

That's crazy.

I don't normally spend money like this, but anyway, I thought it would be fun.

As you walk in, there's a lot of this like, black paneling.

Here we have this like big Full length mirror, that's me.

And the bedroom is just through here.

It's so gorgeous.

I really, really like the style, it feels very, very minimalist and clean.

Huge TV.

We can check the view out as well.

- Thank you.

Ooh, you can see some of the skyscrapers over here.

Mostly it seems like I have a view of like the building works next door.

A lot of scaffolding over here on all of the nearby houses.

That's fine.

All of my bags are already up here.

I did not bring my suitcase up here.

They actually, they had a porter bring everything up for me.

A porter is also known as like a bellboy.

So it's basically somebody who helps you with your bags when you're in a hotel.

And then just down here, a couple of cups and some bottles of water.

I have been told that these are like They say on the house, so if it's on the house then it's free.

Basically they provide them for you.

Then below here we have this cabinet or maybe you would call this like a console.

I actually I don't even know if this is I.. you can.

You can open it.

Oh, cool.

Okay.

I don't think...

This is free.

This is like a snack bar.

These do not come with the room.

If you eat these, you will get charged.

So we have some like, like seasoned cashew nuts, some crisps in here,

some chocolate almonds, some strawberry and white chocolate nibbles.

I don't know what they are.

And some little fruit jellies as well.

In this drawer here, a couple wine glasses, a few little boxes.

So I don't know what these will be.

Ah, these are like charging cables.

And there's a small bottle of wine as well.

And in here We have some tea.

Some tea, a corkscrew, and a little kettle as well.

It's super clean.

I think the tea is included, so they have Earl Grey or green tea or breakfast tea.

This is like black tea.

This is like the British tea, basically.

Yeah, this is the mini fridge.

Oh, wow.

like minibars are kind of expensive so I'm fine.

Next to this is like a little this little brown chair

it's kind of cute panels these work as curtains i suppose in this room the bed looks super gorgeous

It's a double bed.

With these white sheets on, I think they should feel quite nice.

They feel lush.

And then just here, there's like a little telephone These lamps, they're really beautiful.

It's very simple.

And then most importantly, so this I can have.

So I'm not going to be charged for this.

This is a little coffee machine.

I love coffee.

So this is fantastic.

I guess this little tub will have...

Oh cute.

So these are different little coffee pods.

One from Brazil, a Brazilian coffee and a Colombian coffee and these really nice little mugs.

They have a small one which I guess you would use for like an espresso

or if you like a short coffee we call it, like a short coffee.

A coffee that's like maybe more like an espresso.

If you prefer a longer coffee they have some bigger mugs.

There's a little do some work and in this leaflet is just like Ooh!

A pillow menu.

Cool.

So they have some different pillows depending on what you like. So...

you They have one for hyperallergenic.

for pregnant women, one that's scented, that's amazing.

We have three doors and one of them is probably the bathroom.

100

There's one door here, so this is the wardrobe, this is the bathrobe.

101

It's like a white bathrobe.

102

There's two.

103

One of these little tote bags in case you need

104

bag to take with you around London and it says filled with experiences.

105

They have an iron over here and at the bottom are the slippers.

106

Are the slippers.

107

Oh, there's two in each.

108

I just opened the bag and I like forgot to hold the microphone but here are the slippers.

109

Then we have two more doors.

110

So I'm guessing this big one here, this will be the bathroom.

111

So I'm gonna check this one first.

112

This is another small wardrobe.

113

This is the hairdryer, it has a nozzle on it, which I like.

114

I'm not gonna wash my hair today, but It's a good hairdryer.

115

A shoe glove.

116

I don't even know what that is.

117

Ah, this is a breakfast menu if you want breakfast in bed.

118

So this first drawer here has a safe...

119

And it seems like quite a big one.

120

Whee!

121

What I can say so far is that like everything feels very very clean.

122

Like there's no dust anywhere so that's super nice.

123

I also wanted to go into the bathroom which I guess is this middle door right here.

124

Let me get the lights.

125

And here is...

126

Thank you.

127

The bathroom.

128

That's so nice.

129

Oh my god.

130

I'm gonna start with the shower which is just over here.

131

What I will say, there's quite a big step up into the bathroom.

132

Like, I mean it's not huge.

133

Maybe you can see against me, but has this nice shower head up here and shampoo, conditioner and body wash.

134

Then over here we have like a nice big mirror.

135

You can see me.

136

with Thank you.

137

Some hand wash and hand lotion by The Sink.

138

It's so gorgeous.

139

I love this like gold colour.

140

It feels very warm.

141

These like small towels, which are for your face, are...

142

We call them flannels in the UK.

143

So this is a flannel and Yeah, just a pot with a shower cap and a vanity set.

144

So that's like, probably going to be...

145

Yeah, like a nail file, some cotton buds, and a hairband.

146

just like small things in case you don't have them.

147

Then over here we have the loo or the toilet and just above we have some more body lotion,

148

box of tissues and then there's this other mirror here which like I love this because this is for doing your makeup.

149

I've been traveling since 3 a .m.

150

But I am so incredibly tired.

151

Like last night, I think I had about four hours of sleep.

152

I'm going to have a shower.

153

have some water, have a nap and try and recover a little bit from today.

154

Thank you.

155

I'm going to go to the next one.

156

Good morning, I am just making a quick coffee here in the room.

157

I'm gonna have a Probably a little bit of sugar in my coffee as well.

158

I actually, I don't know how much of this coffee I'm going to...

159

I'm going to drink like I really enjoy an iced latte, like an iced caramel latte.

160

So this is more of like an Americano style coffee and I can't find any milk, which honestly, I've not even looked.

161

Let me let me look before I start complaining.

162

There is this little milk in the mini bar.

163

It looks nice.

164

The coffee is pretty good.

165

And there's a nice view from my room.

166

The only thing is there's like a window full of toilet roll over here.

167

I know sometimes people don't like having windows that kind of look into...

168

their room like this.

169

We are on the fifth floor.

170

These are very, very high buildings.

171

But it seems to be More like the back...

172

of other buildings like I've not seen anybody in any of these windows which you know

173

The hotel can't control that but anyway.

174

I went out last night to meet some friends and

175

when I came back there had been a turndown service which felt so bougie.

176

Remember this word, bougie, it's very important.

177

It's, uh, feels like fancy, right?

178

If something's bougie, it feels fancy and kind of like expensive, but...

179

When I got back last night from dinner and drinks, the bed was like made up.

180

The lights had been turned down.

181

My slippers from the hotel were left by the bed.

182

And yeah, the bathroom was cleaned or like straightened up as well.

183

They put the bath mat down, like ready for me to have a shower.

184

I slept very, very well. And...

185

I don't know if that's because the hotel was very quiet, which it was.

186

It was a very, very quiet hotel.

187

I couldn't hear any doors or anything, but I also like...

188

I had only slept four hours the night before.

189

So honestly, I think I could have slept very well Anywhere.

190

The hotel here is very, very new, so it opened up in 2025.

191

It's now 2026 and it only opened in like the autumn.

192

autumn of 2025.

193

I am now going to head downstairs

194

and I'm going to grab a quick coffee and yeah we can we can take a little look around the hotel.

195

It's 28 degrees right now at 8am and today it's going up to 35 degrees which is just awful.

196

I'm going to go downstairs and grab some breakfast.

197

The breakfast menu actually looked very nice.

198

They had some like traditional English breakfast, like a cooked breakfast sort of thing.

199

I did not book it just because I'm not a huge breakfast person.

200

And personally, I prefer to have like a coffee and a pastry, maybe from like a nearby cafe or something.

201

That's fine for me.

202

Shoreditch as an area has really, really cool cafes.

203

So it's, you know.

204

I think it's honestly fine to just do that instead.

205

Just head out the hotel and maybe have a look around.

206

You can also pay to have dinner at this hotel as well.

207

They have a Japanese restaurant called Mitsu.

208

Anyway, let's...

209

Let's go downstairs.

210

Thank you.

211

- Hi.

212

- Wow.

213

- Wow.

214

- Um, I guess, uh, Yeah.

215

I had an appointment this morning,

216

so I had to go for a little walk.

217

and I stumbled upon this amazing old church building.

218

I don't know what it is actually.

219

But it is so incredibly beautiful and This is very London,

220

where You have this old like I don't even know how old this building is.

221

And then right next to it are these like modern, super modern office buildings.

222

Central London is obviously intense, right?

223

Like there are a lot of tourists, especially if you're going to the very touristy places, I actually think I would really,

224

really recommend staying in a neighbourhood like this because It feels.. a little bit calmer.

225

It's listen, it's not calm.

226

If you're not used to big cities, if you know, maybe you are from like a small town or a village or maybe just a smaller city.

227

Shoreditch will still feel very busy, very lively.

228

There's just a lot of bars with lots of people outside.

229

There's lots of very cute cafes and it feels very local.

230

Like you're not going to find tourist traps here tourist traps,

231

you know, places that are in touristy areas to get tourists and everything is overpriced and low quality.

232

you're not going to get that here in Shoreditch.

233

So I think I'm going to recommend Shoreditch to stay if you visit London.

234

Some East Londoners might be like, what are you talking about?

235

But I actually think it's a really, really good place to stay.

236

- Thank you.

237

Thanks, Dad.

238

Let me know how to play ghost pipe.

239

Yeah, he's there.

240

Thank you.

241

I have just been downstairs to have a coffee and it's now 11am.

242

So, checkout is at 12.

243

I have to checkout in one hour.

244

So, the plan is now to go home.

245

Honestly, it's even hotter today.

246

It's 35 degrees and I have to get the train, which is going to be like a nightmare, but it's fine.

247

Every time it's hot in the UK or really cold, everything stops working.

248

It's just the way we are.

249

Like, even though we have snow, a little bit of snow or ice every year,

250

every time it happens, we stop working functioning as a country and same with heat waves.

251

Every heat wave, everything stops.

252

So hopefully I get home.

253

Okay.

254

But, um, yeah, I loved my stay here in the Athos.

255

It was It's just beautiful.

256

The staff are lovely.

257

But that just leaves me to say thank you so much for watching.

258

I have lots of other videos on my channel and a vlog from my day in London yesterday.

259

So thank you so much for watching and I will see you in the next video.

260

Bye.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
