YouTuber content creators Ash and Kels stayed at one of Wetherspoon’s 56 hotels and were immediately surprised when they entered the venue through the pub
A couple who stayed at a Wetherspoon hotel for the first time were left stunned by what they discovered. YouTube content creators Ash and Kels have travelled to 65 different countries after developing a love of travel.
But the pair had never stopped in a Wetherspoon hotel before. In fact, Ash says that until recently the couple never even realised that the budget pub chain offers a range of hotels across the nation.
It led them to booking a stay at their local Spoons, The Wyndham Arms in Bridgend, Wales. Upon arrival at the venue, they discovered the pub was “really busy” but soon found themselves picking up their keycard to access the accommodation.
After leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the boozer, the couple found themselves taken aback. Ash explained: “Straight away the noise of the pub has gone.”
Kels added: “Which is crazy because it’s literally there. The minute that door closes, silence.”
After navigating their way to the room, the pair were impressed with the amenities offered by the hotel room, as well as the feature wall decorated with Wetherspoon carpet.
Ash though wasn’t sure about the one on the floor. He said: “One thing I don’t actually like about this room is the carpet. One half of the carpet is this swirly pattern and the other half of the carpet are these striped, they should just have one or the other.”
The couple were however impressed with The Wyndham Arms overall. Kels said: “I really like it, I’m actually surprised with how modern it is. For £55, that’s an insane deal, I could stay in Wetherspoon’s hotels more, what a good idea.”
She added: “This room has been really lovely. It’s nice, it’s modern, it’s clean, I have no complaints really.
“I thought you would have been able to hear noise downstairs, especially considering how busy it was, but the minute you come through that first door, there’s no noise, it’s absolutely crazy.”
Wetherspoon’s hotels, much like the chain’s pubs, are traditionally based in historic buildings. Each hotel is either situated above or near one of the brand’s boozers, says its website.
Each hotel room comes complete with an en suite bathroom, complimentary tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryer, a flat-screen television and WiFi. The company’s hotels are only available to book via its app or website, something it claims gets customers “the best rate”.
The brand now boasts more than 50 hotels ranging from Birmingham to Wigan and Wembley to Dublin. Prices start from £55 a night.
