Don't mind me just laying in bed at 4am eating a whole pack of biscuits wondering where rent is gonna come from this month 🤣

[amineabdellatif]

We have curtains...we have doors and walls..so it will be 20k per night sir.

[VanceRefrigeration]

Is that the guy that does “4 hours on Spongebob?

[gardenplots]

He said the published price is 20, 000 which sounds as if no one really pays that much. Rich people like a discount as much as everyone else does.

[RoyalCaymanian]

😂I really thought it said £20 per night. Crikey! I’d already started packing!

[andrepaul]

A client stayed for 6 months?! That’s over 3 million 😭

[raaedravo]

That's not worth 20K at all!
Extremely overpriced for a just a couple of rooms and a terrace!!

[premierebro]

His accent is as German as it gets.

"Plansch Pool" 😆

[LordWoffingshire]

THAT is what you get for 20k? Sure, I get why it would cost a couple of thousand a night, but 20? I expected a lot more. It looks like you get a lot of stuff but none of it is all that luxurious.

This guy used to be General Manager at Claridge’s

"A client stayed for 6 months"

Rough maths, 6 months 182 days.

182 x 20k = £3, 640, 000.

[tesswoodard]

I'm 2:15 into a 3:31 clip and I have yet to see why its a 20k a night hotel.

[Jason-Peters]

Anyone who spends £20K on one night in a hotel, regardless of how much they want to feel special, is a despicable person. In central London it's likely there's going to be someone sleeping rough less than 100 meters away, so just imagine how many people they could help if they did go for the £450 a night option and gave £19, 550 to a homeless charity!?

[munib]

Really underwhelmed by the lack of amenities and how rich do you have to be to spend £3.6 million on a hotel stay.

[cameronweston]

If you check in at 3pm and check out by 11am, It’s $0.69 per second per night

[haute]

I don't think I've ever seen a wood-burning fireplace in this type of hotel. Fascinating!

[TragedyOfDarthPlagueis]

1:45 hmm is that a flickering ceiling light I see for 20k /day???

[pewpew]

1:45 light above bath tub is flickering. Thomas isn't that eagle eyed!

[TheComedyColosseum]

The only nice thing is the view from the roof.

Watched the first episode and learned that an afternoon tea can cost £65!!!
