The First in Austria, but Not What You Expect: Our Stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Vienna Schönbrunn (Review)
Unfortunately, the DoubleTree by Hilton Vienna Schönbrunn is not up to the usual DoubleTree standard; in fact, apart from a name change, there has been little change in the hotel since its re-opening.
The main problem is the poor and simple mattresses, which do not correspond to the DoubleTree standard and do not allow a good night's sleep. The modern design of the rooms and suites hides this fact at first sight.
Moreover, the hotel is plagued by staff shortages and there is a certain lack of enthusiasm among the rest of the team, or at least the feeling that every guest is appreciated.
Until these issues are addressed and resolved, we would not recommend staying at this hotel if you value the standards of the Hilton and DoubleTree brands.
Our Favorite Hilton in Vienna: Hilton Vienna Park (Review)
The Hilton Vienna Park impresses not only with its location and the recently completely renovated modern rooms. Despite its dimensions, the hotel offers the customer an individual experience, as one would expect in a five-star hotel. As a city hotel, the Hilton Vienna Park is outstanding, and the proximity to the customer is more familiar from smaller boutique hotels or resort hotels. The price is fair and the quality is high. A lounge that is unparalleled in Europe rounds up the experience and so the Hilton Vienna Park has become our standard address when visiting the Austrian capital.
Munich Marriott City West: A Work in Progress with High Potential
The Munich Marriott Hotel City West has great potential to stand out in the affordable luxury category of Munich's hotel selection. On our first visit, the hotel was unfortunately not yet fully open, only the lowest room categories were available and the lounge was still closed. But the modern design and the extremely approachable and friendly team give us great hope that the hotel will impress in the future. We are very much looking forward to seeing it in normal operations and would love to come back again to tell you about it.
The Perfect Pit-Stop: Modern Rooms and Delightful Breakfast - Hilton Garden Inn Munich Messe
Those traveling by car can stay comfortably at the modern Hilton Garden Inn Munich Messe. The new building offers modern rooms and a very friendly team at a very fair price. A special highlight is the good and extensive breakfast buffet with regional specialties. Unfortunately, the location is poorly connected to public transportation, so the Hilton Garden Inn Munich Messe is not a good alternative to a city hotel.
Aloft Stuttgart (Review)
As a simple hotel, the Aloft Stuttgart offers exactly what it should. A solid and clean room with a good bed. The air conditioning also works perfectly, so you can enjoy your sleep even in summer without any problems. The relatively extensive and qualitatively appropriate breakfast round off the offer well. If you are looking for a solid city hotel without a lot of extras but at a fair price, the Aloft Stuttgart is the place to be. A highlight for frequent travelers is the offer to use a washing machine for free.

Recharging in Style: Our Stay at The Royal Senses Resort & Spa Crete, Curio Collection by Hilton (Review)
Hilton's first resort in Crete invites you to relax. All rooms have excellent sea view, most of them have direct access to a pool. The large complex offers not only a great spa facility to relax with large outdoor pools for swimming but also has a huge water park for children and several good restaurants with delicious cuisine.
DoubleTree by Hilton Cape Town - Upper Eastside: Where the Pleasure Ends With the Cookie At Check-in (Review)
The first and to date only Doubletree Hotel in South Africa unfortunately does not live up to its name. Guests can expect a worn-out and aging hotel with various challenges, a non-customer-oriented team and few status benefits. The low room rates can't make up for all the shortcomings, and we don't recommend anyone to stay there.
Mokuti Etosha: Namibia's Newest Hidden Gem for Luxury and Adventure (Review)
Mokuti Etosha stood out from the crowd in the affordable luxury sector. Apart from the new buildings, an outstanding buffet kitchen with great individual on-site service, we were particularly impressed by the fitness and spa options. For those who want to visit Etosha National Park, the location is ideal and you can arrive at the park as early as possible. For a few quiet days in between, the hotel offers the ideal environment.
The Hidden Oasis: Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa (Review)
Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa offers a luxurious environment with a reasonable price ratio. Those who do not want to invest in the more expensive Conrad Algarve, but still want to live in a good hotel of the Hilton chain are exactly right here. Especially the apartments in the hotel with fully equipped kitchen and washing machine offer a good accommodation especially for families, without giving up the comfort of a five-star hotel.
