    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 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 – 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,…

    New Review – Hilton Vienna Plaza (Room Upgrade)

    Introduction Sometimes you should not only collect points but also use them skillfully. With very high cash rates, the Hilton Vienna Park gave us the opportunity to make good use of the points. I earned a total of 119,000 points, which was much better than cash rates of around EUR 300. In my opinion, the location is also very good, at Schottenring 11 you can easily reach the hotel by streetcar or the nearby underground stations. Check In The hotel has a very nice entrance area which I really liked.…

    New Review – Rio de Janeiro (Hilton Copacabana)

    Booking Brazil was my destination as part of an exciting flight deal. As I wanted to relax a little, I booked the onward flight to Rio de Janeiro at the same time. In Rio it was clear that I wanted to be on the Copacabana, sun, beach and sea, what more could you want. At the time, the Hilton had a very attractive rate for a room with a view of the Copacabana. I booked the hotel for four nights via the website Location The location is really sensational, right…

    New Review Rio de Janeiro – Hilton Barra

    Booking Brazil was my destination as part of an exciting flight deal, and as I wanted to relax a little, I booked the onward flight to Rio de Janeiro at the same time. In Rio, it was clear that I wanted to try out another Hilton in addition to the Copacabana. The Hilton Barra had an attractive rate at the time and I was able to see something else of Rio. I booked the hotel via the Hilton website. Location The location is in the modern Barra district, which is…

    New Review – Hotel Hilton Budapest (BUD)

    There are a large number of hotels in Budapest, but this time I had a somewhat longer stay in the city by my standards, so I opted for the Hilton Budapest. The booking was made via the Hilton app and the price was absolutely fair for a standard room. Location It was about 40 minutes by train from the airport. But then of course you are very centrally located at the castle and one of the landmarks of Budapest. Check In After a short wait, everything went well. The late…
