YouTubers terrifying experience after spending night in the ‘world’s deepest hotel’ over 1,300ft below ground

They had to traverse faults and jump 100-foot freefalls to get there

Taking an annual family trip to the same holiday resort in Spain might be nice, but have you ever thought about staying something a little less conventional?

If you're looking for a hotel that's a bit more extreme, North Wales might just have the place for you.

Deep inside a former slate mine below the mountains of Snowdonia lies the world's deepest underground hotel.

The four cabins that make up Go Below's Deep Sleep are located 1,375 feet below the Earth's surface - deeper than the height of the top floor of New York's Empire State Building (1,250 feet).

But an overnight stay in the underground lodgings is not for the faint-hearted.

To start, you have to embark on a 45-minute hike led by expert guides just to get to the mine's entrance, after which you'll traverse through the dark mine to get to the cabins.

And, once there, you'll have to wrap up warm for the night as the average temperature in the deepest cabin sits at a cool 10 degrees celcius.

Go Below describes a night underground as 'an experience like no other,' and this experience costs between £375 and £575 for two people.

Although, one YouTuber who's spent the night there was left terrified by his experience.

Josh - also known as TheBurntChip - shared footage from his night at Deep Sleep with fellow content creator ArthurTV in a video that has been viewed more than a million times.

Following the aforementioned hike to the entrance of the mine, the pair began their journey underground.

Travelling through the mines with only flashlights attached to their helmets, they came to a precarious set of steps that would lead them closer to their final destination.

"I don't want to go down there anymore," Josh said.

But that would turn out to be the least of his worries. The friends then had to traverse a number of faults before jumping down a 100-foot drop - using safety equipment, of course.

Their somewhat treacherous journey continued as they waded through water and encountered further drops, before finally reaching their accommodation.

The hotel itself featured electric lighting, running water and an actual toilet, which considering you're more than 1,300 feet underground, really isn't too shabby.

Cosy bedrooms included wrought iron beds complete with pillows, quilts and fluffy blankets.

After enjoying a well-earned meal, the lads settled down for the night, with Josh admitting that it was 'freezing' down in the mines.

Reflecting on their experience after ascending back to Earth, he said: "Whilst hotels get higher and higher and even more luxurious, what Go Below are doing is truly unique.

"Every now and then, it's important to get back down to Earth and get lost in the excitement of a big old adventure.

"I might never recover from that free fall jump," he admitted.
