    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 – 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 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 – 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…

    New Review Hotel – Hampton by Hilton Budapest City Centre

    Location and booking I chose this hotel, which was very new at the time, because of its good location in the city center. The price was also very good, so I quickly booked directly via the Hilton app. However, you should be aware that depending on the time of day, it can take around 45 minutes by car from the airport to the hotel. Check In It did take a moment here, but this was mainly because there were a lot of new employees. On the other hand, it was…

    New Review – Hampton by Hilton Warsaw Airport (WAW)

    Bookingand location At Warsaw Airport there is plenty of choice between Marriott and Hilton. This time we opted for the Hampton by Hilton Warsaw Airport for our short stay. As always, we booked directly with Hilton, even though the benefits at the hotel were only the points and a snack. You can reach the hotel with a shuttle that departs from in front of the Renaissance every 30 minutes. It’s strictly first come, first serve, so we were lucky to get a seat on the shuttle. Unfortunately, it was also…

    New Review – Renaissance Warsaw Airport Hotel (WAW)

    Location and Booking The booking was made directly with Marriott via the cashback page. In terms of location, the Renaissance Hotel is extremely close to the airport. You only have to go to the departure level and then cross the street. The black complex is really hard to miss and is the first hotel on the left as you drive to the airport. Check In A nice upgrade to a junior suite was already on the cards before check-in. As always, I had booked the cheapest room. During check-in, they…

    New Review – DoubleTree by Hilton Milan Malpensa Solbiate Olona (MXP)

    Location and Booking Anyone who knows me knows that I usually prefer to book directly. This time too, I was able to book the DoubleTree quite cheaply directly via the Hilton website. A big advantage of the hotel is certainly that it offers a free shuttle. However, you are also pretty much in the middle of nowhere and you should be aware of that. Check In It was done quite quickly, but somehow I had the impression of being annoyed. Do you know that? A strange start, which I found…
