    New Review – Hilton London Angel Islington

    13/03/2025 / No Comments

    Introduction Due to health reasons, I had to postpone my London trip. During the rebooking process, I didn’t realize that it coincided with the coronation of King Charles, which made hotels relatively expensive. The best solution for me was to book the Hilton London Angel Islington with a non-refundable rate through the Hilton app. Since it was only for one night, I opted for the cheapest room available, a King Guest Room. This decision was largely driven by the need to save on costs, as the coronation event had significantly…

    New Review Mabuhay Lounge – Manila (MNL)

    13/03/2025 / No Comments

    Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) can be quite confusing for travelers due to its layout.

A free shuttle service is available for transfers between these terminals, which is convenient for those with connecting flights. Alternatively, you can take a taxi, but walking between terminals, especially in the dark, is not recommended due to safety concerns and the distance involved. Location and Access The Mabuhay Lounge is located in…

    New Review Hampton Dubai Airport – Dubai (DXB)

    07/03/2025 / No Comments

    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…
