The AC Valencia by Marriott offers solid standards with a clean and comfortable room, but the location isn't very central. Breakfast and the bar are decent, though the check-in and check-out service could be smoother. Price-wise, the hotel sits slightly higher than comparable options without offering a pool or fitness area.
The Sala VIP Lounge Valencia is a solid airport lounge that scores with friendly staff, a clean ambiance, and a quiet upper floor. The food offering is limited to cold snacks – hot dishes are missing. A good option for killing time before a flight, but not a reason to arrive at the airport early.
The Sala VIP Lounge in Malaga impresses above all with a remarkably good food and drink selection for a contract lounge, offering both hot and cold options. The lack of showers and the sometimes crowded space detract from the experience somewhat, but anyone looking for a pleasant wait with plenty of seating and power outlets will be well served here.
The Crowne Plaza Madrid Airport is a solid but unremarkable airport hotel. The stay was perfectly fine as a redemption for IHG points — but anyone looking to explore Madrid should head straight into the city.
The Iberia Velázquez Lounge in Terminal 4S is a true gem – spacious, bright, and with a fantastic apron view. The Do&Co catering impresses with regional specialities and great service. If you can, arrive a little early and make the most of your time here.
The Hilton Galazo on Mallorca impresses with spacious Junior Suites, a beautiful pool area, and a high-quality breakfast buffet. As a new resort, not all processes are fully streamlined yet, which was noticeable during check-in. The quiet, secluded location is ideal for relaxing, even if an Executive Lounge is lacking.
The Sala VIP Formentor at Palma de Mallorca Airport offers a pleasant alternative to waiting at the gate, with a good food and drink selection. The lounge is modern in design and mostly clean, but it gets crowded quickly and the clearing service leaves something to be desired. Power outlets are scarce, making it difficult to work.
The VIP Sala Pau Casals in Barcelona T1 is a solid lounge that pleasantly surprises. The food and drink selection is adequate, the bar service is attended, and there are even showers. Absolutely recommended for a shorter stay before departure.
The Hilton Barcelona offers a clean room in a decent location for a one-night stay, though it's showing its age in some respects. Despite COVID restrictions, the service impressed with friendliness and quick problem-solving. A solid choice for a short stay at a good price.
As long as everything goes according to plan with Iberia, it's genuinely enjoyable. The cabin product and catering are at a good level, and the modern 1-2-1 layout ensures a relaxed flight experience. Depending on the route, Iberia is a recommended choice.
The Iberia Business Class amenity kit impresses with its remarkably extensive contents, despite its plain exterior. The red pouch contains all the essentials for the journey — from socks to dental care to hand cream, all stocked with branded products. The only thing missing from this otherwise thoroughly successful set is a pen.
