    New Review – AC Hotel Valencia by Marriott

    12/11/2025 / No Comments

    For my stay in Valencia, I was looking for a hotel that is simple and without much fuss. That’s why I chose the AC Valencia by Marriott, which perfectly met these requirements. Booking There was a pleasant surprise here: I was able to book through a cashback site. However, this was considered a direct booking, so I also received the full points and benefits. Check-In The check-in was a bit slower than expected. It wasn’t really complicated, but the speed and attention given to my benefits as a Lifetime Platinum…

    New Review – Radisson Blue Lissabon (LIS)

    22/10/2025 / No Comments

    For a short stay in Lisbon, I chose the Radisson Blu Lisbon, mainly because of its convenient location close to the airport. I was also curious to see how my Radisson VIP status would be recognized here. Whether the stay was worth it – you’ll find out in this review! 📍 Booking & Location As always, I booked directly through the Radisson app, using the option “fewer points, more discount.” That paid off – the rate was unbeatable compared to other booking sites. Just before my arrival, prices went up significantly, so I was glad I had…

    New Review – Intercity Berlin Airport Hotel (BER)

    30/07/2025 / No Comments

    Berlin Airport has a few airport hotels, but only two are truly within walking distance: the Steigenberger Airport Hotel(👉 Review here) and the IntercityHotel Berlin Airport. That’s exactly why I decided to spend one night at the IntercityHotel – to see how it compares. 📍 Location As mentioned, the location is top-notch. The IntercityHotel is just a few minutes’ walk from the terminal, right next to the Steigenberger. This is no coincidence, as both hotels belong to the same hotel group. For those who prioritize short walking distances, that’s already a big win. ✅ 🛎️ Check-in I wasn’t…

    New Review – Moxy Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP)

    13/07/2025 / No Comments

    📍 Location & Access – Convenient and Straightforward The Moxy Milan Malpensa Airport is located just across from Terminal 2 – making it a top choice if you’re arriving late or flying out early. If you land at Terminal 1, no worries: the free airport shuttle runs every 15 minutes (and every 45 minutes at night until 1 AM), and the ride takes under 10 minutes. 🚌 From the shuttle stop, it’s just a short walk across the intersection and you’ll see the hotel right in front of you. I even asked for directions through the Marriott app, and they replied quickly…

    🏨 Hotel Review – DoubleTree by Hilton, Nice (France)

    02/07/2025 / No Comments

    As someone who spends a lot of time in hotels, I know how important it is for a stay to be both relaxing and hassle-free. The DoubleTree by Hilton in Nice delivered exactly that. From the warm, genuine welcome at check-in to the signature chocolate chip cookie handed out upon arrival – a comforting gesture that felt especially appreciated after a late-evening arrival – everything was off to a good start. 📍 Location & Surroundings The hotel enjoys a prime location right next to Nice’s main train station (Gare de Nice-Ville). The beach is only a 10-minute…

    New Review – Non Schengen HON Lounge Wien (VIE)

    30/06/2025 / No Comments

    ’m excited to share a new review from our guest author, Michael. This time, he explores the HON Lounge at the G Gates in the non-Schengen area of Vienna International Airport (VIE), which will remain in operation until its full renovation in 2027. Please note, to access this lounge, you’ll need to pass through passport control. If your flight departs from within the Schengen area, make sure you allow enough time for both the passport control and security checks. Location and Access After passing through passport control, simply follow the…

    Mileage Run Madness in Poland: 6 Legs, 4 Cities, 12 Hours – and Plenty of Points!

    23/05/2025 / No Comments

    For frequent flyers chasing status—whether Star Alliance Gold or Miles & More Frequent Traveller—it’s not always about long-haul business class flights. Sometimes, a well-planned weekend mileage run with cheap domestic flights can yield crucial qualifying points. The Experiment I tested this with LOT Polish Airlines: 6 domestic flights in one day, each booked separately as one-ways to maximize points and enjoy lounge access between flights. Why Book One-Ways? The Route (All from/to Warsaw – WAW) All flights took place in May with a tight schedule from early morning to evening.…

    New Review – Hotel Telegraaf an Autograph Collection, Tallinn (TLL)

    13/03/2025 / No Comments

    This booking was made using a free night certificate from Marriott, which you receive after staying 50, 75, or 100 nights. This meant the stay was complimentary, and I also opted for a suite upgrade, which is available after 50 nights. I was fortunate to have both the room and upgrade confirmed promptly. However, whether I would pay the regular price for this stay is discussed in this review. It’s worth noting that hotel prices in Tallinn, like elsewhere, can vary significantly depending on the season and local events. Location…

    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 – Hilton London Heathrow at Terminal 4 (LHR)

    13/03/2025 / No Comments

    I was scheduled to arrive late in the evening at London Heathrow and didn’t feel like traveling into the city, so I opted for an airport hotel. Heathrow has several Hilton and IHG hotels, but I chose the Hilton London Heathrow at Terminal 4 for economic reasons. This decision was largely driven by the hotel’s proximity to the terminal and the convenience it offers for early morning flights or late arrivals. I booked a non-refundable rate through the Hilton app, selecting the cheapest room available, a King Guest Room, since…
