概要

TLDRThe video follows a traveler visiting Burundi, the world's poorest country, to explore the most expensive hotel there, the presidential suite at Martha Hotel costing $800 a night. Upon arrival, they faced delays and were relegated to a standard room while waiting for their suite. The experience was far from luxurious, with missing requests like raspberries in the room, disappointing dining services, and an ill-equipped gym. Despite the spacious and luxurious suite, the complementary areas failed to justify the high price. The restaurant served limited menu items after a long wait, and breakfast offerings were meager. Ultimately, the traveler concluded that the suite was overpriced and the experience did not meet expectations.

タイムライン

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video begins with the narrator contemplating a visit to the world's poorest country, Burundi, with a focus on exploring unusual or intriguing aspects. They express a keen interest in experiencing the most expensive hotel in the country, despite its high cost. The narrator books a stay at the presidential suite of the Martha Hotel, costing €721 (approx. $800) per night, and whimsically requests fresh raspberries in the room. They anticipate their visit in two months, questioning whether the costly visit will be worthwhile.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Upon arrival at the hotel, the narrator is met with delays in accessing their room and vents frustration over the service not matching the $800 per night price tag. There is a focus on the narrator's increasing irritation as their expectations are not met, including initial access to leisure facilities like the gym and pool. Eventually, they are granted access to the presidential suite, where they find the room spacious but lacking in requested amenities like the raspberries. The high cost doesn't seem justified by the hotel’s offerings.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:16:10

    The narrator explores the hotel further, including its restaurant, which proves inadequate with poor service and limited food options despite an extensive menu. The gym facilities are also subpar, posing health concerns due to malaria risks. Breakfast, a part of the expensive hotel package, is disappointing with scant options. Eventually, they are allowed a late checkout due to initial inconveniences, marking the only positive gesture. Leaving dissatisfied, the narrator concludes that the hotel does not live up to its exorbitant rate, hinting at better and cheaper alternatives in the local area.

    the view is spectacular of course so far
  • 00:09:10
    hotel Martha didn't convince us to be
  • 00:09:12
    worth the insane $800 the presidential
  • 00:09:16
    suit was spacious and luxurious but the
  • 00:09:19
    interior of the hotel wasn't any
  • 00:09:21
    different from a standard nicer one it
  • 00:09:23
    was time to check out the Martha hotel
  • 00:09:26
    in more detail there had to be something
  • 00:09:28
    exceptional that would justify that
  • 00:09:31
    extreme price but apart from the
  • 00:09:34
    normal-looking hallways and a strange
  • 00:09:36
    cinema seat depot we didn't find
  • 00:09:38
    anything it was time to put all our
  • 00:09:41
    hopes into two remaining areas the
  • 00:09:44
    restaurant and the gym we are really
  • 00:09:48
    really hungry let's try the cuisine of
  • 00:09:52
    this overpriced hotel

    80 things and they have only 5 you just
  • 00:11:39
    need to get used to this

  • 00:11:43
    of the view we would have been enjoying
  • 00:11:45
    if we set as normal people remember that
  • 00:11:53
    the Sun was shining when I talked to you
  • 00:11:56
    last time the food is still not here and
  • 00:11:59
    were the only ones in this restaurant
  • 00:12:02
    it's been 1 and a half hours look that
  • 00:12:06
    the restaurant is empty
  • 00:12:11
    [Music]
  • 00:12:13
    this was supposed to be our lunch oh

    it's finally here Wow
  • 00:12:21
    that's just the regular pizza ladies and
  • 00:12:26
    gentlemen nothing special and I think it

    needs a bit of salt all right we're
  • 00:12:31
    gonna finish this and I'll see you oh
  • 00:12:35
    I'll see you at the gym
  • 00:12:37
    yeah so this is the gym it seems that
  • 00:12:55
    the heaviest dumbbell is only 25 pounds
  • 00:12:59
    heavy we wanted to work out right now
  • 00:13:14
    but it's already dark and there are
  • 00:13:17
    insects flying I think mosquitos are
  • 00:13:20
    flying around it's not a good idea to
  • 00:13:22
    sweat here and attract the mosquitos
  • 00:13:25
    that may carry malaria I don't want to
  • 00:13:29
    get malaria again so I guess we will go
  • 00:13:34
    either to sleep or we will go out
  • 00:13:37
    there's a there's a party going on
  • 00:13:40
    you're gonna find out in five seconds if
  • 00:13:42

  • 00:13:47
    about breakfast
  • 00:13:53
    they have only omelet there's nothing
  • 00:13:58
    else to eat just bread just bread and
  • 00:14:06
    omelets $800
  • 00:14:10
    they have only two omelets left so one
  • 00:14:14

  • 00:14:25
    they have ham and cheese somewhere in
  • 00:14:28
    the back
  • 00:14:33
    so now it's worth $800 per night the
  • 00:14:37
