Probably the same group ofI honestly think there's a load of incel and/or very bored single and married men in dead end jobs stashing up her videos in their tank bank, and she is cashing in hard on it. Sorry to be so crass, but she gives them fantasy dates with a classy bird. Checking in to a hotel, quick mirror check if they all like what she is wearing, then going to the bar and asking what they would choose to drink, going for dinner and talking about the food on the menu, going back to the hotel room, getting ready for bed, running a bath, etc. Then waking up the next day drinking tea in the room, lounging on the bed in a gown. And she's doing it all without showing an inch of skin. It's genius! Of course they are there trashing hotels running to defend their girl as she's so upset. That's what real men do.
Edit: I am not convinced this is what she set out to do, but it's been a very fruitful accident. $$$

But she doesn't care about youtube guys, its just silly fun
Just like how she said she'd never do sponsored videos and never asks anything of her viewers

Just watched the latest video and I honestly don’t get her. That hotel room was filthy and poorly maintained, yet she still handed out a 5.5/10 like she was being magnanimous.
Feels like she’s playing the “overly generous critic” card on purpose. Give a grubby hotel a higher score than it deserves - people pile into the comments to argue - boom, more engagement, more traffic. It’s manipulative but effective.
And sorry, but if a hotel upgrades her because she’s a YouTuber, it should automatically be disqualified from scoring. She’s not reviewing the same experience we’d get, for instance seeing the state of the less premium rooms in the Ritz from other YouTuber vids.
Anyone else think she’s losing credibility with this tactic, or are people still buying into it?

You guyz, I didn’t use the same name when I booked this place, but the name I used just happened to end in (most likely) a t and s. What are the chances, you guyz. So random.
She absolutely should be disqualified from scoring if she receives preferential treatment. The upgrade she got at the Connaught was mindblowing, and all the gifts at the Ritz ... unless you're a Sheikh from a high-status family paying full price for the premium suites, you wouldn't receive all those extras as a 'normal' client. I have very rarely received upgrades at hotels - memorably two because I travelled towards the end of Covid - I was given a Penthouse suite at a hotel in Dusseldorf and a very good deal at the Adlon Kempinski by the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin (which was a memorable experience for which I will be forever grateful) and Durrant's a 4-Star hotel off Marylebone High Street - because I've been a regular visitor over the years.
Personally, I preferred Hannah's walks around London - shopping, stopping for coffees etc at various cafes. It was more real. The hotels and restaurants are fine occasionally, but it is becoming boring.
Well spotted @Sabbie I think she was using her own name!
Loved the Gilbert Scott architecture but was surprised that the rooms weren't better maintained. Some of the common areas were beautiful, such as staircases, Gothic Revival features & etc.
Yeh I think a hotel a week is way too much, they're all so samey and it seems like she's becoming more and more nitpicky and petty with things as time goes on. I was shocked by the damage in the room and that tiny portion of pasta though!
I'm going to be controversial here but I'm actually quite enjoying these hotel vlogs. Some hotels that I've always thought must be really nice are actually barely above Premier Inn quality in reality (The Savoy I'm looking at you!)
It is annoying me a little though that she seems to be skimping on some of the food options when she's there. I don't really want to see her eating a bowl of fruit for breakfast let's see what the proper breakfasts they offer are like! I presume she doesn't want to pile on the pounds having a full English every week but still...

Someone mentioned earlier that the hospitality industry in London (or whole UK?) has problems finding personnel, could it be because of Brexit? Even here in Finland we have lot of Eastern European nationalities working as cleaners.
She makes me dizzy with her camera moves. Please stop using the face following setting.
I think I've seen enough of the 5 star London hotels reviews. I also find her remarks on not so "healthy" food irritating. You are not eating like that every day so it won't matter.

Good point about Brexit. Eastern European cleaners usually have very high standards. You’d probably find that most of the housekeeping managers in those hotels are not British, and are top notch.
The hospitality industry in general has struggled since covid. Its not just brexit thought as the US and other countries also struggle. I think there's many reasons, pay and benefits too, also just how badly you get treated by the public etc.
I prefer the hotels over the food ones or yet another walk around Harrods. Problem is theyre getting worse ajd worse with less and less effort. I thought this weeks was particularly weak. And shes very inconsistent with her criticisms. She slated the shard, but that was miles ahead of this weeks 'suite' which was just two random rooms with no cohesive design.
The ritz video she really showed how much special treatment she got. Whether its her, or because they upgraded her so it comes from being in a suite. Its a far cry from what you'd get in a standard room

Yes, @Mark81 I think some of us differ in our preferences - hotels/food/walking around shops in London and talking a lot. My issue with all of Hannah's vlogs is that, after a while, whatever she's doing, it's the same formula. It was with the shopping (how many vlogs of her visiting Harrods do we actually need to see?), and it's becoming the same with the restaurant reviews and the hotels. I've found the last few incredibly boring, and she's not very critical in an engaging way like Jay Rayner, now reviewing restaurants for the FT, to quote one example. She checks in to a hotel, goes to her room, checks for dust, sees if the interior of the kettle is clean, looks at the quality of the slippers ... are they flimsy, branded etc, does the bathroom have a bath and separate shower, are the towels and dressing gowns crusty, expresses disappointment if the hairdryer isn't a Dyson in a 5 Star hotel, are there complementary biscuits? How much is the KitKat in the mini bar? Do you get a pen or a humble pencil with the notepad? She walks around the public area of the hotel (Bars, Restaurant, Spas), pauses for a cocktail and overpriced food maybe, requests a turn-down service, goes to bed, wakes up, has breakfast, and checks out. I question my sanity watching it week in week out, to be honest.
Although I marginally preferred the shops, cafes and walking around London, it also became very formulaic and repetitive. She certainly comes across as a creature of habit. If I were her, I'd become very bored with doing the same thing week in, week out. She is getting lazy; she jumps on bandwagons ... I guess the income from this encourages her to carry on.

Yeh, I'd even like her to test out the spa pool maybe? No point just filming there and saying there is one, also personally as someone who loves spas (but rarely goes) I can't imagine staying in a hotel with a nice pool/sauna and not using it!
Maybe thats giving her viewers too much exposure
She claimed in her last video that she used the hot tub at the spa but I didn't see any evidence of that. She was still dressed in the same clothes that she arrived to the hotel in. She didn't look like she sat in a hot tub for an hour.
I mean I get she wouldn't want to film herself in it, but even try it out and give feedback, the temperature, was it cleverly chlorinated, was the sauna warm enough... etc etc
Fair play to Hannah, I enjoyed this weeks. A real surprise on what a Virgin hotel is like, I really liked it on the whole. she seemed more fair and I think her issue with the door was 100% valid. She also seemed more open to the fact she might be getting special treatment.
Loved the subtle shade to (im assuming) Walk With Me Tim and others.

Agreed about the lock not working on the door. I'd feel the same.
Yes, that grated on my too @emm. She seems to be on a diet/no alcohol atm.
By the way, one of her followers has given her $200 (canadian) to buy some lemons to alleviate her cold ... maybe she can purchase some special ones from Harrods!
Not keen on the green wardrobe.
I am sure he’d like her organic lemons. 
No shade on Hannah, but geeze so many men are so dumb.
That hotel was really weird and just didn’t say five star to me. It was more interesting, and I think it’s because she felt less out of place there. It looked a lot like small boutique hotel suites that I have stayed in for a fraction of the price without the facilities that I would not want anyway. I didn’t see a dust test? And in the first room there was a fair amount of worn out places on the furniture. It all looked a bit cheap.
