    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…

    New Review Double Tree by Hilton – Sao Paulo (Itaim)

After the Hilton and Inter Continental in Sao Paulo, I wanted to see another hotel in the Itaim district. Location The location is in the Itaim district, which is safe and offers opportunities to go out. GRU airport is about an hour away, but depending on the time of day it can take three hours. Check In The check-in in the evening…

    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…
