I genuinely didn't expect this place to be as bad as it was for the price... would you stay here? Would really appreciate you checking you're definitely subscribed, getting close to 70k subs now, let's see if we can get there by the weekend, cheers!

[@Yorkshire2024]

Subbed when u at 25k

[@ItsShauno]

Should check out The Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth

[@waynegray2284]

Next time take a Black light with god now what on the sheets m8

[@sarahglew7130]

Have to ask why do you only wear your glasses in the morning wen you wake up? Also I feel you was ripped off

[@chanchichanchito]

a half eaten bag of flumps in the fridge, madness

[@J_Stamps86]

"Flumps in a fridge" may be your most Peep Show-esque moment yet, haha

[@johnmckay1961]

Flumps in a fridge, Jeremy??

[@Gem20245]

Haha, totally.

[@littlebunnybunny]

no it was showing his hairy crack to someone in the pool🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂

[@TheDesual]

Actually laughed out loud when Ed said that!

[@LordOfElderon]

hug in a mug

[@ricequin]

The biggest problem people have with Britannia is their habit of buying beautiful historic hotels and letting them go mouldy and disgusting. Places like the Adelphi in Liverpool really should be lovingly maintained but have been allowed to get filthy and unloved.

[@SeanMolloy-k1h]

Same as the one in Birmingham. Big beautiful building yet left to rot.

[@nelliemelba4967]

They seem maintain the public areas of these buildings - the entrance halls, reception, bars and restaurants....But at the expense of the rest of the building, and the rooms.

[@AdamTheDude1985]

Sprowston manor in Norwich as well

[@PeterYesrer]

Bought the hilton resort in aviemore scotland.destroyed it

[@matchknee]

awfully judgy of those needing flushing instructions when you fell at the first hurdle of a keycard

[@kimgoreham1596]

And his history of getting showers to work.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

The way Britannia treats it's hotels especially the historic ones should be treated as criminal

[@TheAcogshot]

"I love it when they tell you how to flush a toilet, really holds the people who stay here in high regard". 2 minutes earlier **struggles to put key in door** I dunno Ed... ;)

[@kristenblount8422]

Honestly, it looked so much like my nan's old care home that I was expecting to see a safety rail in the shower 😂

[@EdChapman23]

Mine too! 😂

[@comedyhunter]

Hilarious, one of your best videos. "He saw my crack" "who keeps Flumps in a fridge" LOL

[@srspower]

I'm staying at the Hilton in the centre of Birmingham tomorrow night and that cost me £80. To charge £100 for that shit hole in LEEDS is absurd!

[@Footystickersuk]

£132 is daylight robbery for that place!

[@deadbear_]

The problem I find with Ed and his channel, is how the fuck he only has 70K subscribers, I expected to check and see millions upon millions, so if you haven’t subbed already, subscribe, Ed deserves it! Keep it up Ed, you’ll blow up soon enough.

[@beltrofix7667]

He's started picking up a little steam particularly from about 40-70k so hopefully one of his videos will hit the algorithm at the right time and it keeps picking up pace

[@kirkwinchester6575]

Ed you have to put out more and more content buddy ! I could listen to your quirky ways all day everyday. Legend

[@scottmcginn2169]

Brittania Hotels Postcard "Wish you were here... instead of me"

[@paulharvey9149]

"I'd rather go crack first, than ball first!" Hahaha. Is there something you wanted to share with us, Ed?!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@kid_vs]

I just started watching you recently - I took you so seriously at first, now I literally cant stop tearing up with laughter while watching! You're geniunally my favorite youtuber rn.

[@marlondingle651]

Flumps in a fridge, is that the kid friendly sequel to Snakes on a Plane? 😂

[@BenC-bw4wf]

“They’re probably massive. IN BULGARIA😂

[@JeffKelly03]

Not Ed out here seeing three arrows on his key card and not even considering flipping the card around and trying it with them facing the lock...

[@jenniferlow9685]

literally screaming at my monitor

[@davewood2263]

Even so having stayed in the one in Manchester 3 times I've had to go to reception 4 times to get a new one and made out it was my fault

[@Wistfuldemon]

Please take a black light next time 😂

[@ladymidnightxx]

Nobody puts Flumps in the fridge, they don't belong in the fridge.😂😂

[@sammcloughlin9291]

Best line of the episode.... feels like you shouldn't be in here... without a lanyard...😂

[@tamsynsimpson1462]

Agreed 😂

[@Gem20245]

Flumps in the fridge confuses me more than rocket science could. I mean, how dare you.

[@benjaminaulakh4734]

I've seen enough videos of people staying at Britannia Hotels to know that not only does the company completely fail to maintain the hotels, many of which are amazing old historic buildings, but they don't even clean them properly. Almost every review video I've ever seen includes carpets that aren't vacuumed and are covered in stains, stained and mouldy windows, walls and curtains, and filthy bathrooms. It's like the company genuinely doesn't care.

[@owencollins5396]

Used to work for Britannia Hotels and have stayed in a few over the years. They essentially buy hotels from companies like Hilton / Marriott (hence why a lot of them will have lots of facilities like pools, spas, etc) invest no money into them and just slowly run them into the ground over time and do nothing about it. I have also worked in 3 separate hotels when I was there and all of them were severely understaffed in every area. They are a shocking company and do not care at all about the state the hotels they own are in.

[@SpeckyandSkint]

Looked like a bed bug at the start on the curtains 🤢

[@tca246]

I'd have been out of there like a shot! You don't want to be taking those things home with you.

[@chrislavelle4869]

Ed..... you sir are the gift that keeps on giving, followed you for over a year now. And crave your videos, I've mentioned before that my 8 yr old son loves watching and it's got to a point now that he pesters me on when you next video is out 🤣🤣🤣 Keep doing your thing man. I'll be honest I do love when you and Ellis team up. With the footy back on, the people demand more 👌👌👌

[@SHINBET666]

Ed has entered Hell by staying at a Britannia Hotel 😂

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

Flumps in a Fridge - great name for a punk band.

[@littlebunnybunny]

didnt know toiletries had a flavour😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ed you are hilarious

[@yvonnegeldard5400]

"Heavily stained leaflet" I do like my information delivered in a dirty fashion 😂

[@darkdude4903]

its like grumpy old man tries hotels, your the youngest oldman on youtube....i love your content lol keep up the good work :)

[@nicholastate5012]

£132 is mental, and having to pay extra for internet 😮

[@CraftyWitch1990]

You're not kidding. I stayed in a hilton last weekend for less than £60 😂

[@mediterraneandiet2483]

£103 a night. Dinner and breakfast are extra.

[@corvolavender5586]

You should stay at the Sacha Britannia in Manchester. That one's only £38!

[@boriss.861]

As of March 2024, Alex Langsam, (Transtaled SLOW) an octogenarian hotel tycoon, owns Britannia Hotels. Langsam has been called the "Asylum King" because of the record profits his company has made from housing asylum seekers. In 2022-2023, Britannia Hotels made £107,000 in profit per day, £39,055,000 yr end 2023. Britannia Hotels is a privately owned company with 60 hotels across the UK, including locations in city centers, on the seafront, and in the countryside. The hotels have more than 10,000 bedrooms and offer restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and health and leisure clubs. Britannia Hotels also owns Pontins, a British company that operates holiday parks in the UK.

[@ChronicChaos999]

Hearing that Britannia own Pontins makes so much sense after we stayed in the ever tired Norbreck castle and attempted to stay at Southport Pontins in the same week... (We left Pontins after 30 minutes after we were given the key to a chalet that people were already occupying and then our new chalet was dirty and run down... We really didn't feel safe)

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

I used to work backstage for this company. Their headquarters is in Hale, and the hotel is possibly the least posh thing about that village.

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

They did put us up at one of their hotels for the Christmas party, and it was perfectly acceptable. We also got free sandwiches/salads for lunch, and those were certainly no worse than any other white bread sandwiches I've had.

[@seanchamberlain428]

Suppose it's better than that time when you stayed in that metro Inn, in Stockton on tees and someone broke in your room at 6am 😂😂

[@walterfillingham]

Always check the inside of the kettle, how clean or dirty the inside says a lot.. 😂 also check the mattress for bed bugs 😂

[@adamwade2546]

Great video again ed. Contents been going from strength to strength

[@jordanwhitton]

You need to stay in the Britannia Sachas in Manchester!

[@ChorltonandtheWheelies]

No. No-one needs to stay there, trust me. I will never forget my "view" of a brick wall and though I was a smoker at the time, even I was knocked sick by the fug of B&H that clung to my clothes. I live in Manchester but my ( then) bf had just got out of Strangeways after a 3 so wanted a shagfest ....served me right really. He was as rotten as the room 😕

[@Mel_FlyDriveExplore]

Been subbed for a while. Always enjoy your content but this one made me roar with laughter 😂

[@EuroDC1990]

The issue with Britannia hotels is that they tend to buy old historic buildings that need a huge amount of upkeep and renovation but ultimately they're a budget hotel chain. Good on them for buying these buildings and making sure they're not destroyed, but as a business model I'm not sure it works. Because of the sheer scale and grandeur of the buildings and not being able to spend vast sums of money aa budget chain, renovating them is a never ending task. What a lot of their hotels need to survive, sadly, is for a huge chain with lots of money to burn to take them on, close them down potentially for a year or two and do everything from from top to bottom in one go. Expensive to do but would result in all upmarket hotel. Ultimately I've got to respect Britannia for trying to save these buildings, and i can forgive shabbyness here and there. The poor cleanliness however is unforgivable.

[@richd8907]

Do Britannia Hotels still offer their own branded tetanus shots for anyone staying there?

[@sophiecartwright9506]

Loving the series of ‘worst rated’! Binged loads of your videos this week! Brilliant videos lad!

[@jameshall5042]

as always had me laughing the whole way through! 😂 'just had a shower, not sure I feel any cleaner 😂

[@ash36230]

I would say school canteen food is better than this. Britannia Hotels are the kinda places where even the most ardent anti-migration lot would think "Actually it would be a crime against humanity to put migrants in a place for geriatrics on borrowed time, who still eat like they're being rationed"

[@travellingtom6091]

..."without a lanyard"...😂

[@usurp4892]

Unguarded Gateau is the absolute dream!

[@MrMattUK202]

Jeez read this on Wikipedia On 10 September 2022, a 21-year-old woman was crushed to death by a wardrobe whilst staying at the Britannia Adelphi hotel They really are an awful chain

[@DanWalker97_]

Talking of the ac thermostat looking like Chernobyl I think you need to take a trip that would be unreal

[@topmandog1]

go karen and report it to the council

[@MrHush1979]

You need to try the twin jewels in the Crown of Britannia disappointment - their Blackpool and Scarborough branches...

[@TC-th1ey]

The hotel in Scarborough appears to have so much seagull guano on the windowsills it looks like it has snowed. The building itself is massive but I’ve never seen anyone come in or go out.

[@JC-jv6tt]

Would be giving your flat a good inspection lad. Was talking to a pest control guy earlier and he said they apparently have call outs there every other week for bed bug infestations. He was suggesting they only do half the treatments to save costs!

[@AniGstring]

I once went to the Britania in Manchester for a carvery and I swear down there was mold on my gateaux. I mentioned it to the waiter and I got a free drink. I wish I could post the photo. I agree with this video, it was like care home food and everyone eating was over 60.

[@scentswithshazabyfm1933]

Your room looked amazing compared to the one in London!! Honestly

[@EazyDuz18]

Thats where you take your ONS after the club and thats it.

[@roxanne533]

This whole video is one nightmare after another

[@MaxArthey]

£132 is an absolute tragedy....

[@Carl-x8y3c]

Did you eat your Flumps and wash them down with a Coke ?

[@MikaMikaMika89]

"The Jacuzzi isn't working" never seen any human being look so confused and disappointed at the same time. Btw don't diss hospital food I spent 2 weeks in UCHW and at least 75% of those dinners were tits.

[@heyimvee]

12:27 That's what she said 😂😂😂😂

[@stellahulott210]

Ewwwww, my skin is crawling, the whole place eekkkkk. Another banger, cheers ED! Hope you get to 70k this weekend! ❤❤

[@procyonlotor1501]

I looked into the owner to see what sort of person would cut costs to the point that it ruins the business.......Every. Single. Time.

[@davewood2263]

Brittania hotels own Pontins most sites delapidated or closed Own the grand hotel in Scarborough, worst hotel in the UK Doors are always a fucker to open (stayed in a few) Extra pillows asked for on 4 occasions when staying, 3 times needed to go back to reception to mask again. 1 key card for 2 guests in the same room. I went back early and fell asleep. Girlfriend had to find booking info to be allowed in at 3am slightly drunk. Honestly though only use if you have to or just need a place to stay for a dirty night

[@darren5777]

The more i watch your videos the more i think youre Karl Pilkingtons son

Collab! Please Ed make it happen 🙏

[@stavx2339]

130 pound for this service was mental!!! But respect for actually deciding to do this vid man!

[@hilarybramley7529]

Loved the Chernobyl AC. Started scratching myself half-way through.

[@ghamandlupinwalkingtours]

A new saying was formed in this video. "As cold as a flump in a fridge"

[@leeallsopp5152]

Shorts and pants simultaneous removal…. Fantastic time saving manoeuvre 🤣👌

[@ellxxx4996]

Killing these videos Ed. You’re awesome! The amount of effort you put in is evident (in a good way😅)

[@BigRic-griftin]

Stay in the other Leeds one, at Mill Green View - the airport one is luxury in comparison.

[@hughmann3651]

That place is amazing compared to brittania in Edinburgh.upon entering our room we gad blood and coffee up the door..a pink bathroom suite with unwashed bath complete with mouldy tiles and grout.bedding was that bad we got wrapped up in our coats. Had a beautiful view of some generators tho.your tv was amazing ,we had a gorgeous piece of ply wood screwed to the wall complete with what resembled a mobile phone attached to it or at least that's how big the screen was...you got a massive let off Ed..

[@michaelcolin9887]

The funniest thing about Britannia Edinburgh is the stay puft marshmallow man cosplaying hotel manager, though.

[@RoyalRefraction]

Those cards were printed wrong surely, those instructions were for a totally different lock...

[@burrows499.]

I’d love to walk in and see you in the locker room 😂😍. I definitely wouldn’t leave

[@GamerMattPlays]

You should stay at The Fairway Hotel in Barnsley it's rubbish check under the beds there you'll love it

[@ColinHartley-ti8it]

Try going to Hong Kong and staying in a coffin apartment looks very interesting

[@Alanardo1989]

If I ever stay at a hotel again I've learned to take my own towel, toilet paper, pillow, blanket...etc... from watching these type of videos 😆

[@jennyhicks1930]

I think I’ll just sleep in my car 😂😂

[@JackHardman]

You really should have over 100k subscribers! What a brilliant content creator 🤛

[@joebradford7750]

I stayed here at this exact one and literally had no problems!

[@philnash3268]

I do sometimes defend Britannia a little bit as you tend to get what you pay for, but the price you paid for this one is ridiculous, expecially given its an airport hotel. We stay at Bosworth Hall & Spa in the midlands a few times a year and generally enjoy it there... but the cheaper rooms are usually about £60 for the night (and thats a saturday night usually). The rooms are tired but generally clean and although there is a surcharge for using the pool and spa, we've never actually been charged it for some reason... reception say its not included but then the reception at the spa tend to wave us through when they know we are staying at the hotel. Not had dinner there but the breakfats decent enough. I've also stayed at The Adelphi in Liverpool, again cheap and cheerful. Tired and in need of updating but for the money its not so bad,. That said, if I was paying what you paid, I'd be livid.

[@RobertArtus]

Jesus Christ £130 for a Britannia in Leeds the one in Manchester is £50 on an expensive day wtaf

[@colin.d]

With the possible exception of the croissant I thought your breakfast looked somewhat unappealing.

"who's ever sent a postcard ever... (About to say me, I love postcards) Under 30"... Oh, wait, okay, maybe I am old then 😢😅😅

[@Beth-wl8by]

Ok, you made me feel really old when you asked who has EVER sent a postcard! I'm like, ummm, me. I did! In the early 90s. Mostly to my Grandma, from France!

[@stevenlennox9178]

That light above the bed looks like it's in a dodgy place a would be checking that for spy cams straight away

[@ChristopherGardener-e6i]

Love your videos

[@marcus6414]

You NEED to stay in a hotel called Faulty Towers in Great Yarmouth. It's insane how that place is still running, when I stayed, everything was broken, moth eaten and dindgy, plus the photos on their website are nothing like reality 😂

[@user-cathysbd1]

Excellent Ed. How can they happily book people in and feel proud of their hotel? It’s not good. xx

[@AndysEdits]

'serving the Biden community' had me in stitches 😂 You have literally cracked their business model, this is how they survive

[@michaelcolin9887]

Looks a looooooooooot better than the britannia Edinburgh. Might wanna try that next.

[@AidanGoodall-l5o]

Haha stayed here Tuesday night. Felt a little like a prison. Sure they use signal blockers so you can’t use your phone data and have to buy their WiFi at 7£ a night

[@CharlotteJanvier29]

Nobody puts flumps in the blimmin fridge! Wow.

[@The1Scraf]

We have reached peak Ed Chapman, the Jazz music and B Roll EdChapman

Been there!

[@ellessgee176]

Ah yes, fond memories of the scabies I caught there.

[@ItsLettiD]

I stayed in the one in Birmingham a few weeks ago 😂 it was actually really nice. I was surprised.

[@CharlotteJanvier29]

You should stay in those cheapest B&Bs in Blackpool for like £20 a night lol 😂 I'd love to watch that 🤣

[@EmilySmith-xh2ru]

You're too funny. Love your videos especially the reviews.

[@henrykravitz468]

Did you send the postcard to Ellis? 🤣🤣 I definitely wouldn't stay there. Loving the content. ❤

I would of broken the ice with "what's the crack" :) 😂

[@deborahnlarryclifton]

Another great video from the man himself. Who would want to pay all that money to stop in a very basic room with hard marshmallows in the fridge lol 😆 Thanks for staying there, so we don't have to We love you Ed x

[@CharlotteJanvier29]

The guy also got scared by your crack by the sounds of it 🤣🤣🤣
