Airport hotels and travel accommodations reviewed — honest and independent.
The Hampton by Hilton Wrocław Airport scores particularly well with its direct airport location, complimentary breakfast for all guests, and good value for money. Check-in was sluggish and an unpleasant odor in the room dampened the first impression, but overall the hotel is a solid choice for a stopover in Wrocław.
The Hilton Warsaw City impresses above all with its excellent value for money and the generous corner suite on the 18th floor. The Executive Lounge, the large pool, and the external Holmes Place Gym are clear highlights. Minor weaknesses such as outdated power outlets, missing glasses, and a billing error only slightly tarnish the otherwise positive overall impression.
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 Radisson Blu Lisbon impresses with its proximity to LIS airport, friendly service, and generous status recognition for VIP members. The room furnishings are solid but no longer up to date – a renovation would be welcome. For a quick overnight stay before or after a flight, it's a convenient and reliable choice.
The Holiday Inn Lima Miraflores is a solid city hotel anchor in the vibrant Miraflores district – clean, reliable, and with a rooftop pool as a welcome bonus. Not a luxury property, but a fair and practical base for visitors to Lima.
The Hilton Lima Miraflores is a well-run city hotel with top-notch service, an excellent location, and an attention to detail that many five-star properties have long since lost. Particularly worth highlighting are the comfortable rooms, the Executive Lounge on the 11th floor, and the prime position in the safe Miraflores district, just minutes from the Pacific. Ideal for business trips and stopovers in Lima.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai Al Jadaf delivers as a no-fuss transit hotel with speedy check-in, comfortable rooms, and a varied breakfast buffet. Its location just 15 minutes from the airport and solid value for money make it the ideal choice for a stopover night. For longer stays, a hotel closer to the city centre or the beaches would be a better bet.
The IntercityHotel Berlin Airport impresses above all with its unbeatable location — just a few minutes' walk from the terminal. The rooms are compact, clean, and functionally equipped, though the check-in process left a somewhat bumpy impression. For a night before an early flight, this hotel is a solid and recommendable choice when the price is right.
The Art Hotel Denver impresses with its modern art concept, thoughtful room design, and exceptional service. The combination of exclusive Amex FHR benefits, a complimentary minibar, and a genuine sense of hospitality makes this hotel a clear recommendation for Denver.
The Moxy Milan Malpensa stands out primarily for its excellent value for money and surprisingly friendly service at late hours. The rooms are minimalist and compact but fully serve their purpose as an airport hotel. If you're looking for an affordable and hassle-free overnight stay near Terminal 2, this is the right place.
The Hilton Garden Inn Grapevine impresses above all with its convenient location near Dallas Fort Worth Airport and the charming downtown of Grapevine. Rooms and facilities are functional and quiet, though the complimentary shuttle service is not available around the clock.
The DoubleTree by Hilton in Nice impresses with its excellent location right next to the main train station, modern rooms, and consistently friendly service. The compact bathroom is a minor drawback, but overall the hotel is a recommendable choice for visitors to Nice.
Hotel Telegraaf impresses mainly with its unbeatable location right on Tallinn's Town Hall Square and its attentive service, especially at the bar. At the regular rate of around EUR 746, however, the offering falls short – the pool, whirlpool, and breakfast area are too small, and the overall impression doesn't justify the price.
If you're a fan of classic luxury, the LXR Habtoor Palace delivers exceptionally well — the name Palace is no coincidence. The hotel impressed with a generous upgrade, excellent service, and elegantly designed rooms. The only downside is the somewhat inconvenient connection to the metro in extreme heat.
The Doubletree by Hilton Wroclaw impresses above all with an outstanding breakfast, excellent value for money, and its convenient location near the city center. The executive lounge and wellness area with pool, sauna, and whirlpool are pleasant extras for Hilton Diamond members. A clear yes for a return visit.
The Hampton Dubai Airport is a solid, affordable option for a short stopover. The stay is functional and wins mainly as a budget-friendly way to collect Hilton nights — but it doesn't inspire much excitement.
The DoubleTree by Hilton in the Itaim district impresses with a solid location and decent room amenities, but suffers from aloof staff and visibly aging furnishings. If you're visiting São Paulo, there are certainly more attractive alternatives around the city.
The Courtyard by Marriott Budapest disappoints with outdated rooms, impersonal service at check-in, and a bumpy check-out experience. The location is a positive highlight, but for the same price, Budapest simply offers better alternatives.
Good Hampton quality and fair value for money make this hotel a solid choice for a short stay near Istanbul's new airport. The 20-minute transfer time should be factored into your travel planning. The friendly service and unusual welcome gift were particularly noteworthy.
The Steigenberger Berlin Airport Hotel scores with its unbeatable location right at BER – ideal for travelers with early departures. However, the bumpy check-in, persistent WiFi outages, and unfriendly staff fell far short of what you'd expect from the brand. Acceptable for a pure transit night, but there are better alternatives for a relaxed stay.
The Park Inn by Radisson Frankfurt Airport is a solid, affordable option for an overnight stay near the airport – no great luxury, but at a fair price. The location requires some planning, as there is no hotel shuttle and you'll need to rely on the S-Bahn or a taxi. With the right Radisson status, the deal can be sweetened further with complimentary breakfast.
The Hilton Munich Airport stands out above all for its excellent, personal service – all staff members were consistently friendly and helpful. With Hilton Diamond status, you receive an upgrade to the Executive Level along with lounge access, which significantly enhances the stay. An unreserved recommendation for travelers seeking comfortable accommodation right at Munich Airport.
The Hampton Inn by Hilton Tallinn impresses with comfortable rooms, practical details like USB-A and USB-C outlets, and an inclusive breakfast with a good selection. Despite minor teething issues around the new opening, the value for money is very fair. A return visit is definitely recommended.
The DoubleTree by Hilton in Milan scores points with friendly check-in service and a surprisingly good breakfast, but disappoints with its remote location far from the city center. Over an hour's travel time from Malpensa Airport and a lack of information at checkout about a public transport strike tarnish the overall impression. Those who can snag a discounted rate will find solid accommodation here – but for guests who value a central location, this hotel is not recommended.
The DoubleTree by Hilton at Malpensa Airport is a solid airport hotel for an overnight stay before your flight. Clean rooms, a free shuttle, and a decent breakfast make it a sensible choice at a good rate. Anyone planning more than one night or expecting top-tier service should weigh the alternatives.
The Marriott Warsaw impresses with friendly, bright rooms, a generous pool, and a solid M Club offering. The service scored points with early check-in, an upgrade, and late check-out. If you catch a good rate, this is a worthwhile alternative to the Hilton.
The Renaissance Warsaw Airport impresses with an unbeatable location right at the airport, friendly service, and a comfortable Junior Suite. The club, the generous breakfast, and the attentive check-out stand out as particularly positive. For anyone not planning a stay in the city center who holds Marriott status, this hotel delivers a very strong overall package.
The Hampton by Hilton Warsaw Airport is a solid choice for a night near the airport, especially when prices at surrounding hotels are high. The rooms are typical for the brand – functional, but without any big surprises – and the service was decent overall. For more comfort and amenities, however, the other airport hotels in Warsaw have more to offer.
The Hampton by Hilton Budapest City Centre impresses with its central location, friendly service, and excellent value for money. The room is compact but modern and clean – and the included breakfast is a real strength of the hotel. A clear recommendation for stays in Budapest.
The location right next to the castle and the generous upgrade to the King Junior Danube Suite thanks to Hilton Diamond status made this stay a real highlight. For the price paid, you really can't go wrong here. The food in the lounge as well as the helpful nature of the staff make you want to come back.
The Hilton Barra impresses with a modern ambiance, spacious rooms, and an excellent breakfast buffet. The service is friendly and attentive, especially for Diamond Members. The location in the Barra district is modern and comparatively safe, but far from the main attractions.
The rooms show their age a little, but the sensational location right on Copacabana, the attentive service, and the friendly staff more than make up for it. The rooftop pool with bar rounds off the experience in style — a return visit is definitely planned.
A very beautiful hotel with a central location, from which you can quickly reach the main sights on foot. The Penthouse Royal Suite, at 85 square meters with a breathtaking rooftop terrace view over Vienna, is an absolute highlight. The only downside is that the selection in the Executive Lounge could be a bit more generous.
The AC Hotel by Marriott in Riga is centrally located and easy to reach, though the lack of an upgrade despite Titanium status was disappointing. At a good price, the hotel is perfectly recommendable for a short stay.
The Hampton by Hilton Riga Airport scores with an unbeatable price of EUR 42 and its ideal location right at the airport. However, the unpleasant tone at check-in noticeably dampens the experience, making the hotel only recommendable for a brief stopover.
The Hestia Hotel Kentmanni stands out primarily for its value for money and a surprisingly generous breakfast offering. Rooms and location are solid, and the spa area with two saunas and a pool is a genuine bonus. If you're not looking for a luxury hotel but rather a decent city hotel in Tallinn, this is the right choice.
The Hilton Tokyo Shinjuku impresses with an excellent location near the metro and the Shinjuku district, along with friendly, helpful service. The Executive Lounge with potential views of Mount Fuji and the generous breakfast buffet elevate the stay. For the value offered, it's a solid city hotel with a few minor drawbacks such as the lack of European power outlets.
The Hotel Turist in Varazdin is a solid four-star hotel in a central location that works well as a base for a stay in the city. The rooms, service, and breakfast are reliable and without surprises – exactly what you need for a short business trip.
The Hilton Frankfurt Airport is a solid airport hotel that's perfectly adequate for a short stay between flights. The location directly in the terminal is convenient, even if the walk is a bit longer than to the neighboring Marriott/Sheraton. The hardware could use an upgrade in places, but the service impresses with nice touches like drink vouchers and rate discounts.
The Waldorf Astoria in Dubai's Financial District impresses with spacious suites, attentive service, and an excellent location near the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. If you're looking for a touch of luxury, this is the place to be – an absolute highlight.
The Moxy Frankfurt Airport is a solid choice for a night near the airport – if you know and like the concept, you know what you're getting. Compared to the Sheraton or Hilton, which were well over 100 euros more expensive, it offers good value for money. However, you shouldn't expect more than a functional overnight stay.
The Hilton London Heathrow Terminal 4 is a solid airport hotel for an overnight stay, standing out mainly for its direct location at the terminal. Status guests hoping for an upgrade may be disappointed – but the hotel reliably meets all basic requirements.
The Courtyard Santiago Airport is solid and above average for an airport hotel – the service and breakfast are particularly impressive. However, the poor soundproofing is a notable downside. If you're looking for a convenient place to stay near the airport, you can book here without hesitation.
The Hilton London Angel Islington offers a solid, straightforward stay in a good location near Angel tube station. Rooms and lounge are decent, and the breakfast buffet with live cooking station impresses. For the price – especially during the coronation – the hotel is an acceptable but not exceptional deal.
The Bernerhof in Kandersteg is a solid, family-run hotel with an excellent location — just five minutes from the train station. Rooms and the wellness facilities are decent, though a pool is notably absent. For the price-to-value ratio on offer, the stay is well worth recommending.
The view of Niagara Falls is truly breathtaking and the clear highlight of the stay. The hotel itself, however, is no longer up to modern standards – the rooms feel dated and an executive lounge is missing. Acceptable for a short stop with a falls view, but nothing more.
The Hilton Toronto Downtown impresses with friendly service and a complimentary upgrade to a King Sky View room. The central location with direct access to public transit makes it a solid city hotel. Overall a good stay at a reasonable price-to-value ratio.
The Crowne Plaza Hamburg City Alster delivers exactly what it promises: a solid city hotel at a fair price. The suite impressed with generous space and a bright bathroom, though the experience was slightly dampened by ongoing construction nearby and a long check-in wait. Overall a satisfactory stay with no major surprises.
The Hilton Garden Inn Santiago Airport is a solid airport hotel for a short stopover – with friendly service, a generous pool, and a good breakfast buffet. The connection from the airport leaves something to be desired, and the shuttle only serves the domestic terminal. If you're staying longer in Santiago, a hotel in the city center would serve you better.
The Hilton Antwerp Old Town impresses with an excellent location right on the Groenplaats and generous status recognition for Diamond Members. The rooms do show clear signs of age, but the value for money and the Executive Lounge with its terrace are genuine highlights. A room renovation would elevate this hotel to a significantly higher level.
The InterContinental Kuala Lumpur impresses with friendly service, a great location near the Petronas Towers, and a generous breakfast buffet. The rooms are solid, though a renovation would be warranted for a luxury brand. Overall, a recommendable hotel for a stopover in Kuala Lumpur.
The InterContinental Ho Chi Minh City impresses with well-appointed rooms, a generous infinity pool, and a central location in Saigon. Thanks to Ambassador status, an upgrade was included, and both the breakfast buffet and the bar are appealing. A great hotel for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing.
The Anselmo Buenos Aires in the artistic neighborhood of San Telmo offers solid Hilton quality at a good price-to-value ratio. The location in the vibrant San Telmo district is a clear highlight, even if extras like a pool are missing. Check-in and check-out were straightforward and friendly.
The InterContinental Buenos Aires is a solid luxury hotel from the IHG group, centrally located in the Monserrat neighborhood. For a points redemption, the stay was acceptable, though the hotel shows clear signs of age. A typical Intercontinental without any major surprises.
The InterContinental Santiago de Chile is a solid, typical representative of IHG's luxury brand — no big surprises, but with good service and a pleasant location in the Barrio El Golf neighbourhood. Particularly for points redemptions, it offers outstanding value for money.
The InterContinental Tokyo Bay offers excellent value for the price paid, with spacious rooms and a lovely view of the bay. The service impressed with its friendliness and generous Ambassador benefits such as an upgrade and late check-out. Public transport connections are acceptable, though not ideal.
The Hilton Osaka impresses above all with its excellent location right next to Osaka Station, offering outstanding connections to the Shinkansen and metro. The stay delivered good value for money, friendly service, and a delicious breakfast buffet featuring both Japanese and Western dishes.
The Hilton Port Moresby impresses with spacious rooms, friendly service and a good breakfast buffet. The stay was good value for money and the overall ambience was at a solid level. The only caveat is the difficult-to-assess location in Port Moresby, though you feel perfectly safe within the hotel itself.
The ANA InterContinental Tokyo delivers a solid, if not exceptional, experience for the price paid. The location with a metro station just five minutes' walk away is convenient, and the breakfast buffet with both Japanese and Western options is genuinely excellent. The service was friendly and the automatic Ambassador upgrade a welcome touch, though the room itself remains fairly average.
The stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Milan Malpensa was fair value for the price and met the expectations of a typical airport hotel. Service and rooms were solid, but the shuttle only runs hourly and the signage at the airport leaves something to be desired. For a longer stay in Milan, a hotel in the city centre is a better bet.
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 Sheraton Brussels Airport impresses primarily with its unbeatable location – reachable from the terminal in under two minutes. The rooms, however, show clear signs of age and no longer feel contemporary. Those who consciously factor in the premium for airport proximity get a solid, but by no means luxurious, overnight option.
The Crowne Plaza Brussels Airport is a solid but unremarkable airport hotel — perfectly serviceable for a stopover if you're paying with IHG points. That said, anyone spending more time in Brussels would be better off looking at the Hotel Indigo.
The Sheraton Hannover Pelikan Hotel impresses with excellent service, an above-average breakfast buffet, and an atmospheric ambiance in the historic factory building. The closed Club Lounge is compensated by the Pelikan Bar as a pleasant alternative. Value for money is right, and a return visit is definitely planned.
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 Presidential Suite at the Hilton Sao Paulo Morumbi is generous and impressive, but suffers from aging hardware and pandemic-related restrictions at the bar and kitchen. The experience is enjoyable, though it's hard to justify the price — beyond the sheer space alone — as expectations were only partially met.
The Grand Hyatt São Paulo was a very positive surprise: the service was friendly and attentive, the room for the booked category was thoughtfully furnished, and the amenities — including a stocked minibar and high-quality bathroom toiletries — were impeccable. A very fair price combined with a smooth digital checkout process rounded off an all-around successful stay.
The Hampton by Hilton Krakow Airport impresses with excellent rooms, inclusive breakfast, and solid value for money. The free shuttle and hassle-free arrival make it the ideal choice for a stopover at Krakow Airport. Service loses a few points, as Hilton perks like upgrades or snack vouchers were not offered proactively.
The Hilton Tallinn Park impresses above all with an excellent price-to-value ratio and a central location from which the city centre is easily reachable on foot. Status members benefit from attractive perks such as suite upgrades and small extras. Service was a little sluggish at times, but this barely detracts from the overall positive impression.
The Protea Hotel Johannesburg Wanderers is a solid mid-range hotel with friendly staff and attractive value for money. The secluded location around 28 kilometers from the airport always requires a vehicle, which should be taken into account when planning. For a functional stay without any special demands, the hotel is perfectly adequate.
The Hyatt House Sandton impresses above all with its outstanding staff and the generously equipped rooms featuring a full kitchen. The not-quite-central location is the biggest drawback, but otherwise the hotel offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. A recommended choice for Hyatt loyalists and guests making a brief stopover in Johannesburg.
The Hilton Sandton offers a solid, good-value experience for a stopover in Johannesburg. The location in the quiet Sandton district is safe and well connected to the airport, and the staff impress with their friendliness and smooth service. For a short stopover before continuing your journey, this hotel is a recommended choice.
The Conrad Chia Laguna Sardinia impresses with spacious rooms, excellent service, and a beautifully secluded setting — ideal for relaxing and switching off. The front desk and Guest Relations staff are exceptionally helpful, and Diamond members benefit from generous upgrades. The only thing missing is an Executive Lounge, though given the overall quality, that's easy to forgive.
The Hilton CDG wins points for its convenient location near Terminal 3 and public transport links, but disappoints with an outdated room and a detached check-in experience. A goodwill gesture at check-out doesn't fully make up for the hotel's shortcomings — next time, the Sheraton CDG would be the better choice.
The stay at the Curio Wasserturm by Hilton was fair for the price. The quiet location is still well connected to public transport, which is convenient for both trade fair visitors and tourists. A complimentary daily public transport pass would round out the experience nicely.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Luxembourg offers solid Hilton quality overall, but with a few caveats — including a water issue in the adjoining room and limited access to amenities such as the pool and sauna. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, the room was spacious and clean, yet the hotel didn't fully win me over. Due to a lack of alternatives among my preferred hotel chains, it still deserves a second chance.
The Hotel L'Embitu Superior in Tallinn was a pleasant surprise: the modern room is well-equipped and has everything you need for a multi-day stay. The service was friendly, if a little unhurried, and breakfast offered a sufficiently wide selection. The gym is very small and could easily be skipped.
The Conrad Dubai impresses with a generously sized corner room, an excellently equipped Executive Lounge, and an attractive price-to-performance ratio. Service could be a bit quicker, and the points credit didn't go through smoothly, but thanks to Diamond status and complimentary late check-out, the stay was a complete success. A clear return visit.
The Capsule Hotel Zürich is an outstanding option for early-morning flyers and travelers with long layovers, thanks to its prime location right next to Check-in 1 at ZRH. The modern capsules impress with clever design, and the offering of a spa, co-working spaces, and a 24/7 bar sets it clearly apart from classic airport hotels. If you're looking for comfort and location at a fair price, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better alternative.
The Lind Hotel in Rietberg impresses with friendly service, a central location, and a modern, practically furnished room. Minor drawbacks include the shower design and occasionally unstable Wi-Fi, but the perks — such as an included minibar and spa area — more than make up for it. A clear recommendation to return for future stays.
The DoubleTree Resort by Hilton in Paracas wins above all with its outstanding value for money. The peaceful location on the edge of the nature reserve and the friendly service make for a pleasant stay, even if the only way to reach the bus station is by taxi. For a beach holiday in Peru, this resort is a clear recommendation.
The Hilton Garden Inn Cusco offers sensational value for money in a quiet location near Sacsayhuaman. The service impressed with friendly staff, Diamond status recognition, and a straightforward late check-out. Despite the COVID restrictions, the stay was thoroughly recommendable.
The newly opened Hyatt Place at The Circle at Zurich Airport, which opened on December 15, 2021, exceeded all expectations — from the stylish lobby to the room with a runway view. The service was exceptionally friendly, and even at the opening everything ran smoothly. For aviation enthusiasts and travelers flying out of Zurich, this hotel comes highly recommended.
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.
The AC Hotel Bologna offers a solid, functional experience for the price, with friendly staff and a pleasant welcome amenity. Areas for improvement include the power outlets, the bed, and the location in a less attractive neighborhood away from the city center. For a next visit, a more centrally located hotel would be recommended.
For a one-night stay before an early departure, the Sheraton Düsseldorf Airport is perfectly adequate. The sleeping comfort is good and the price fair, but the Club room at 25 sqm was smaller than expected, and there were minor inconsistencies with the service regarding the welcome gift and breakfast.
The Hilton DoubleTree in Nungwi impresses with friendly service, a wonderful beachfront location, and a varied buffet. Zanzibar is a worthwhile alternative to the Maldives — more affordable, more authentic, and ideal for both beach holidays and active travel.
An absolutely solid hotel where the exceptional service makes all the difference. Breakfast is always included, which is a clear advantage. The decor is somewhat dated in places, but overall functional and well put together.
The Airport Hotel Paderborn-Lippstadt scores with an unbeatable location right next to the airport and surprisingly excellent food at the hotel's own restaurant. The rooms are a bit dated and feel somewhat behind the times, but if good food and short distances are what matter to you, this is exactly the right place.
The Airport Hotel Arlanda impresses with an excellent breakfast and smooth checkout, but suffers from its remote location inside a shopping mall far from the airport action. As a cheaper alternative to the pricier airport hotels, it's worth considering for a spontaneous trip — but not much more than that.
The Moxy London Heathrow is a small but practical and clean airport hotel in typical Moxy style. The service at check-in sometimes leaves something to be desired, but the value for money is remarkably good considering the often overpriced hotel landscape around Heathrow. If you're looking for a straightforward overnight stay near the airport, this is a solid choice.
The InterContinental Davos impresses with bright, modern rooms, friendly and attentive service, and an excellent breakfast buffet. Thanks to the IHG Ambassador Programme, the property offers exceptional value — including upgrades and lounge access. Despite its current closure, a return visit in any season comes highly recommended.
The Sheraton Paris Airport Hotel & Conference Centre scores above all with its unbeatable location directly inside Terminal 2 at CDG and the impressive views over the apron. Service is solid, though check-in felt a little cool, and the rooms show occasional signs of wear despite a renovated bathroom. If you're looking for a comfortable airport stopover with Marriott status benefits, this is a worthwhile choice — even at a premium.
The Hyatt Regency Zürich Airport The Circle impresses with outstanding, personal service and modern, comfortable rooms right at the airport. The location in The Circle is ideal for travelers, and the Babel restaurant with its Middle Eastern cuisine and the IRIS Bar round out the experience beautifully. An absolutely recommendable hotel – the author has already booked again.
The Courtyard Paris CDG is a solid, no-frills airport hotel for an overnight stay between flights. The shuttle service is free but unreliable and can cause unnecessary stress in the morning. If you find a significant price difference, you won't go wrong here — just don't expect luxury.
The Holiday Inn Express Gloucester South is located away from the city centre in an industrial area, which is its biggest drawback. The rooms are clean, the service is friendly, and the included breakfast makes a solid impression. If you're looking for a reliable hotel with good value for money, you'll find it here — as long as the out-of-the-way location isn't a dealbreaker.
The Courtyard by Marriott Düsseldorf Seestern offers a clean, functional room in an office district near the airport — perfectly adequate for one night at the right price. The rooms do feel a bit dated and worn, and the digital check-in features of the Marriott App didn't work reliably.
The Sheraton Frankfurt Airport impresses with a bright, well-maintained room and exceptionally friendly service – the restaurant in particular leaves a lasting impression. The location directly at Terminal 1 makes it the ideal stopover hotel for travelers with Marriott status. A clear recommendation to return.
The Hilton Vienna Park scores above all with its excellent location right next to Wien Mitte station and its very good service, including Executive Lounge access. The room leaves some potential untapped, but overall this hotel is a clear recommendation for travelers with Hilton status.
The Sheraton Skyline at Heathrow Airport is a solid but unremarkable airport hotel — functional, clean, and with a pleasant lounge, though showing noticeable signs of wear. Check-out was unfortunately disappointing and cost me a bus connection. An acceptable option for frequent travelers with Marriott status, but not a hotel you return to out of conviction.
The Renaissance Wien impresses above all with an outstanding breakfast buffet and very good value for money depending on the season. As a Marriott status member, you benefit from extras like upgrades and complimentary breakfast. The hotel is unreservedly recommended for rebooking.
The Le Méridien Chiang Mai impresses with spacious rooms, a stunning bathtub with city views, and exceptionally warm service. The Executive Lounge offers a solid breakfast and an appealing evening happy hour. What stands out most is the attentive handling of our check-in despite lost luggage — an experience that leaves a lasting positive impression.
The JW Marriott Hong Kong impresses with a stunning lobby, spacious harbour-view suites, and an excellent Club Marriott Lounge offering that delivers on every front — from breakfast to the evening buffet. Check-in was a bit of a drawn-out affair when it came to the upgrade, but ultimately all Bonvoy status benefits were granted. All in all, a hotel you'd book again without hesitation — especially with lounge access.
The Conrad Hong Kong impresses above all with its generous, elegant rooms, a strong Executive Lounge, and a solid overall package for Hilton status members. The service was friendly, though not always seamless — there were minor hiccups at both check-in and check-out. Overall, a highly recommended luxury hotel in Hong Kong, especially with lounge access.
The W Bogotá impresses with outstanding design, a comfortable bed, and an absolutely fantastic breakfast with attentive staff. Weak points show up at check-in and check-out, where professionalism and efficiency clearly leave something to be desired. If you can accept the shortcomings in service, you'll find a stylish hotel here with a great bar and concierge offerings.
The Sheraton Bogotá impresses above all with its excellent location right at the airport with a free shuttle as well as friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was extensive and the service very attentive, while the slow check-in and limited lounge opening hours are minor drawbacks. Overall a strong value for money – the author would definitely return.
The Westin Warsaw impresses with friendly service, a generous upgrade to an Executive Suite, and an excellent lounge featuring an evening food and drink offering. The location is slightly outside the city center and the rooms show minor signs of age, but the value for money is outstanding in the Polish context. Those with Marriott Platinum status will be well taken care of here and will gladly return.
The Sheraton Amsterdam Airport impresses above all with its unbeatable location right next to the terminal — reachable on foot in just a few minutes, covered and convenient. If you're willing to pay a slight premium and can take advantage of Marriott promotions, you'll be well taken care of here. The author would happily return.
The Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah impresses with excellent service, generously sized rooms, and an outstanding breakfast. The location on the Palm is a bit removed from the main attractions, but offers exactly the peaceful atmosphere you'd want for a short stay. Anyone visiting Dubai and looking to experience the Palm will find this hotel — especially during the off-season — a clear recommendation.
The Marriott Tampa Westshore leaves a mixed impression: the spacious room with balcony and free parking are clear positives, but cleanliness issues, a sluggish check-in, and a mediocre lounge tarnish the picture. A solid option for business travelers who prioritize parking – but for a truly comfortable stay, there are better alternatives.
The Epicurean Hotel in Tampa impresses with its consistent wine concept, excellent service, and an ideal location with restaurants and bars right on the doorstep. The rooftop terrace, attentive staff, and proximity to the renowned Bern's Steak House make it a true hidden gem for food and wine lovers. If you appreciate individual boutique hotels, you'll book again in a heartbeat.
The SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown impresses with friendly service, spacious and clean rooms, and an ideal location near Ball Arena. The ongoing renovation dampens the ambiance somewhat, but is more than offset by generous status benefits and a seamless stay. Especially for event-goers, this hotel is an easy recommendation – solid, modern, and with nice extras.
The Tampa Airport Marriott impresses above all with its unbeatable location right in the terminal – ideal for quick stops between flights. The room is clean and solid, but the service could use improvement, and the lack of a breakfast option is a real downside for an airport hotel. If you just need one night and have an early flight out, you're still in good hands here.
The Westin Hamburg impresses with stunning architecture right next to the Elbphilharmonie, spacious rooms, and friendly, attentive staff. The upgrade to a Deluxe room with harbour view was a genuine highlight. For anyone making the most of Marriott elite membership benefits, this hotel offers outstanding value for money.
The Moxy Vienna Airport is no luxury hotel, but it impresses with its youthful design, practical proximity to the airport, and solid value for money. The service was blunt and somewhat arrogant, which slightly tarnishes the overall impression. With a bit more friendliness, a clear recommendation to return would be warranted.
The Hilton Amsterdam Airport stands out primarily for its excellent lounge access for status members and attractive promotions. The location right at the airport is convenient, though you should budget around 10 minutes of walking from the terminal. It's worth comparing prices with the nearby Sheraton, but the Hilton has the edge when it comes to lounge access.
The Renaissance London Heathrow impresses above all with its fantastic view of the runway and its excellent connection to the terminal. The service at check-in was disappointing and required repeatedly asking about status benefits. If you manage to get one of the newer rooms, you'll find a functional and clean hotel for a short stopover.
The Quality Hotel Lippstadt impresses above all with its friendly and attentive service as well as comfortable rooms like the spacious Junior Suite 307. Minor weaknesses show up in the bathroom and with the uncomfortable office chair, which is something that could be improved for a business hotel. For those who regularly stay overnight in Lippstadt, this is still a solid choice.
The Sheraton Düsseldorf Airport impresses with its direct location at the terminal and good value for money. Marriott status holders benefit from upgrades such as the Junior Suite. A clear recommendation for a short stay around Düsseldorf Airport.
