    New Review Hotel Turist – Varazdin Turist Varazdin

    Booking The booking itself was made by the company, so I didn’t have to take care of it myself. I booked a single room, but that was sufficient for the short time I spent in the hotel. Location The hotel is located within walking distance of restaurants and the castle of Varazdin. The city is around an hour’s drive from Zagreb. Check In As we checked in late in the evening, everything went smoothly and quickly.   Rooms The first impression is good, the hotel has four stars. At the…

    New Review -Karl-Jatho Lounge Hannover (HAJ)

    Location and access In Terminal A, simply turn left after the security check. If you then see the yellow Lufthansa Lounge sign, you are already very close. Just go straight ahead and you will already be in the lounge. You have access with a Business Class ticket from AirFrance/KLM as well as Priority Pass or LoungeBuddy. I was told that access can also be purchased on site. The opening hours are (at the moment) Monday to Saturday: 05:00 am – 7:00 pm Sunday: 08:00 am – 7:00 pm Amenities The…

    New Review Hilton – Tokyo (Hilton Shinjuku)

    Booking The aim was to find affordable nights with a certain level of luxury in Tokyo over the New Year period, which is particularly challenging in Tokyo over the New Year period. The Hilton chain has several hotels in Tokyo, the Hilton and the Conrad made it to the shortlist. Economic reasons led me to book the cheapest available room at the Hilton Tokyo. Location The hotel is easy to reach from Haneda Airport by car or public transportation, but it is a little longer from Narita Airport. Shinjuku station…

    New Review – Hestia Hotel Kentmanni (TLL)

    Booking and location I was invited for this review, but of course this has no effect on my opinion of this hotel. The Bolt driver didn’t find the hotel straight away and so I had to walk a little to the hotel. From here it is about a 15 minute walk to the old town. Check In The check-in was very quick and after a few moments I already had the room cards in my hand. There is a cozy sitting area opposite the reception. The hotel has two lifts,…

    New Review Hampton Dubai Airport – Dubai (DXB)

    Booking I was due to arrive in Dubai late in the evening and didn’t feel like driving into the city, so I opted for an airport hotel. I made the booking itself, a non-cancellable rate, via the Hilton app. As it was only going to be one night, I chose the cheapest room, a King Guest Room. Location Despite the name Hampton Dubai Airport, the hotel is around 15 minutes away by Uber, so you could also go into the city. The metro station is just under a 10-minute walk…

    New Review – Hampton by Hilton Riga Airport (RIX)

    Location and booking The Hampton by Hilton Riga Airport is very close to Riga Airport. The ride on the Bolt took just three minutes – but it cost almost as much as a ride into the city. I booked it directly with Hilton, and the rate of EUR 42 was really extremely cheap. I also added the points / nights / stay to my account and it worked out well. Check In Strange. Simply strange. I was helped quickly but the way I was treated raises some questions. Sure you…

    New Review Premium Economy – British Airways (BA)

    How do you get from Dubai back to Europe, or more precisely Zurich, cheaply and yet not in Eco? Without several individual tickets within a reasonable time. The arrival time was due to work, so only a morning arrival was an option. Booking I booked the flight directly via the British Airways website, and the attractive price for a return ticket tempted me to take the return flight as well. I actually wanted to book the flight in Economy, but the small difference led me to book Premium Economy directly.…

    New Review – AC Hotel by Marriott, Riga (RIX)

    Location and booking I booked this AC hotel by using a cashback site (not Shoop this time, but I can also recommend it and have described it here) which gave me another 4% discount. It is quite central and everything can be reached quickly from here. A trip from the airport costs around 9 euros, depending on the time, and a cab should be around 15 euros. Check In Unfortunately, the familiar upgrade game was played here. All the better categories were cheerfully sold, but even as a Titanium member,…

    And once again it’s off to Dubai, one is inclined to say, this time the price was the deciding factor and to try out the Economy of Turkish Airlines Booking I booked the flight directly via the Turkish Airlines website, the goal was a long layover in Dubai, but still a little lounging in Istanbul, you can find the review of the Turkish Airlines Lounge here. Check-In The check-in in Zurich went smoothly, as we were traveling as a couple, we wanted to sit next to each other. This was…

    New Review – Sky Lounge Wien Flughafen (VIE)

    Location and access There are several lounges to choose from in the Schengen area of Terminal 3 at Vienna Airport. Right next to the Star Alliance Lounge is the Sky Lounge. You can gain access with the PriorityPass, among other things. If you do not yet have one, you can apply for it here.
