The Renaissance Vienna hotel is a short 2-minute walk from the nearest U-Bahn stop, this modern hotel on a busy street lies 1.5 km from Schönbrunn Palace. The Vienna State Opera is 3.9 km away. It is somewhat away from the city centre but compensates this with very attractive room rates. 

Check-in was a bit slow despite checking-in previously using the Bonvoy app. The credit card reader and/or the printer were not working properly and the staff did not really know how to handle it. I also asked for a map of Vienna which was not available and the staff seemed rather uninterested. 

My room and the bathroom was on the smaller side but clean with a comfortable bed. 

I found my stay at this Marriott property unimpressive and pretty standard. Nothing really to write home about. 

I would choose a hotel closer to the city centre next time. 

The Radisson Blue Hotel Altstadt is located right in the heart of Salzburg’s Unesco-listed old town centre, within a few steps of Mozart’s birth house. The hotel has two entrances, one on Rudolfskai by the River Salzach, and one on the (more atmospheric) Judengasse within the old town. Salzburg’s old town is one of the best preserved examples of this ecclesiastical town.  Fabulous Baroque architecture and The Sound of Music filming locations can be found on almost every corner – a city quite impossible not to fall in love with.

The hotel has 62 elegant, luxurious rooms and suites. All rooms come with original wooden beams, antique furniture, heavy rugs, white walls hung with framed prints and engravings of old Salzburg, and parquet flooring. Bathrooms have elegant marble sink tops and twin sink basins, and either a walk-in shower or a combination.

Service was excellent on our visit, with friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Check-in was charming and efficient and my beautiful room faced the Salzach river on the quieter side of the hotel.

An excellent breakfast with a wide choice of food items including freshly prepared waffles and egg dishes is served at the hotel’s Symphonie restaurant on the first floor overlooking the Salzach river. 

Public parking areas are located a five-minute walk away. Location and the friendly staff are definitely the best attributes of this hotel and my stay there was excellent.

Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers was built in 1973 and is perfectly located for both business and leisure guests in Hong Kong. It is accessible to all forms of Hong Kong’s public transport and is just 2 minutes walk from the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, which provides quick and easy transportation throughout the city. This hotel is ideally located in the Tsim Sha Tsui area and provides excellent shopping and entertainment opportunities, and all the major landmarks are within a short walking distance. 

This 5-star hotel offers 782 luxury guest rooms and suites and was recently renovated during the Covid 19 pandemic. Each room is tastefully designed and decorated with simple comfort and convenience in mind; the majority feature breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour and the city. 

The hotel offers various restaurant outlets and a top-floor lounge with a spectacular view. It also hosts Hong Kong’s only famous Morton’s of Chicago Steakhouse and Grill.

There is a small swimming pool on the rooftop along with a gym and both offer panoramic views over the city and the harbour. Both facilities seem a bit dated and have not been recently renovated. 

I checked in online on the Marriott App but still had to wait at the check-in for some time to receive my room key as there were many people requiring services from the front desk and only two counters were staffed.

Housekeeping staff were fast and efficient and very helpful and were always present on the corridors and made sure that the guests had everything they might need. 

This makes the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers a comfortable hotel offering a full spectrum of services for business and leisure visitors alike.
