    New Review – Doubletree by Hilton Wroclaw / Breslau

    13/03/2025 / No Comments

    Booking and Location A friend and I each booked one night separately through the Hilton website. Why separately? We both wanted to earn a night credit, and since we both have Hilton Diamond status, booking this way allowed us to maximize our benefits. From Wroclaw’s Copernicus Airport,, we took an Uber and arrived at the hotel in about 25 minutes. The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Centre Wroclaw is located in a quiet area surrounded by greenery, approximately 15 minutes from the city center. Check In Initially, having two…

    New Review -Karl-Jatho Lounge Hannover (HAJ)

    07/03/2025 / No Comments

    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 – Hestia Hotel Kentmanni (TLL)

    07/03/2025 / No Comments

    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)

    07/03/2025 / No Comments

    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)

    07/03/2025 / No Comments

    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 -Lufthansa First Class Wining and Dining New York (JFK)

    07/03/2025 / No Comments

    Introduction For First Class travelers and HON members of the Lufthansa Group, you are not only greeted in Terminal 1 in a very friendly manner and checked in. The service continues with a member of staff accompanying you to the lounge. This even includes getting a fast track through security via another lounge (VIP ONE Lounge). This really saves a lot of time and what is perhaps even more interesting – everyone who has access to the VIP ONE Lounge (for example with a PriorityPass) can use this free service.…

    Location and access The Platinum Lounge is located in Terminal 2A and is currently open daily from 05:00am – 8:00pm.
