    New Review – Hilton London Angel Islington

    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 – 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…
