DoubleTree by Hilton Berlin Ku’damm

Berlin, Kurfürstendamm – an address steeped in history. Where the Steigenberger Hotel was a fixture of West Berlin's hotel scene for decades, the DoubleTree by Hilton Berlin Ku'damm now welcomes its guests. Following a comprehensive renovation, the hotel boasts a fresh design and modern amenities. Since 2025, it even features its own Executive Lounge. We checked into the hotel for a short family trip on a Friday afternoon and took a close look at everything: from the rooms and the breakfast buffet to the newly opened lounge. Find out what the DoubleTree by Hilton Berlin Ku'damm is really like, where it excels, and where there's still room for improvement in this review.

Turkish Airlines Business Class A321-200 to Berlin

Turkish Airlines' long-haul Business Class enjoys an excellent reputation: a personal chef on board, a lavish menu, and a wide range of entertainment options. But what can you expect on short-haul flights? After the long flight from Singapore to Istanbul on the A350, the Istanbul–Berlin leg on the A321-200 was the final leg of our return journey. Two very different aircraft, the same airline, the same cabin category – an interesting comparison. Can Turkish Airlines' Business Class on short-haul flights maintain the same level as on long-haul flights? And is the extra cost worthwhile for a flight of just two to three hours? Our review provides the answer.

Is Turkish Airlines Business Class on the A350 worth it?

Turkish Airlines is one of the few airlines in the world to have its own on-board chef in Business Class. It’s a claim that piques curiosity and raises high expectations. On the return flight from Singapore to Istanbul, we had the opportunity to experience Business Class on the Airbus A350 up close for eleven hours. We wanted to take a close look at the seats, the food service, the drinks selection and the entertainment on this long daytime flight. Find out what Turkish Airlines really offers in Business Class, where the airline excels and where there is still room for improvement in our detailed review.

Conrad Singapore Orchard

Singapore is one of Asia's most exciting cities. It is modern, diverse and surprisingly green. For our stay, we deliberately sought a hotel that was not located in the tourist centre, but was still well connected and offered a high level of comfort. We chose the Conrad Singapore Orchard Road, a hotel with a rich history that reopened under a new name in early 2024 after extensive renovations. In this hotel review, we report in detail on our experiences at the Conrad Singapore Orchard Road in October 2025.

Conrad Singapore Marina Bay

Upon arriving in Singapore, we knew exactly what we wanted for our first few nights: a centrally located, comfortable hotel that also allowed us to take advantage of our Hilton status benefits. We chose the Conrad Singapore Marina Bay, a well-known luxury hotel in the heart of the city, which until recently was known as the Conrad Centennial Singapore. In this review, we share our personal impressions of the location, the rooms, the breakfast, the Executive Lounge, and the recreational facilities, and we'll show you who would particularly enjoy staying at this hotel.

Turkish Airlines Economy Class Airbus A350 to Singapore

Our long-haul flight with Turkish Airlines Economy Class on the Airbus A350 took us from Istanbul to Singapore. A modern aircraft, Do & Co catering, and a comprehensive in-flight entertainment program sounded like solid prerequisites for a pleasant flight. In this review, we describe our experiences with booking, the cabin, the seat, the food on board, and the in-flight entertainment, and assess how well Economy Class actually performed on this route.

iGA Lounge Istanbul

On our flight from Berlin to Singapore, we had a layover of several hours in Istanbul and used the time to try out the iGA Lounge Istanbul in the international departure area. The lounge is known for its large size, wide range of food and various areas. Whether the visit was really worthwhile, whether the iGA Lounge Istanbul is one of the best Priority Pass lounges worldwide and how well we were able to relax there quickly became apparent during our stay.

Turkish Airlines Economy Class A330: Review from Berlin to Istanbul

The flight with Turkish Airlines Economy Class in the Airbus A330-300 from Berlin to Istanbul was the first leg of our autumn holiday trip to Singapore.

In my review below, you can find out how comfortable the seats really were, what food was available on board and how good the entertainment system was.

Hilton Świnoujście Resort & Spa

We've been to Usedom many times and to Swinoujscie several times, but we'd never tried the Hilton Swinoujscie Resort & Spa before. We wanted to change that this autumn. Even at first glance, it was clear that a lot had changed around the promenade. In this review, I'll share our experiences: from booking and upgrading to a suite to breakfast and the water park. If you're planning a weekend on the Polish Baltic coast yourself, our hotel review will give you a realistic impression of the Hilton Swinoujscie Resort & Spa.

Read our review to find out whether the lounge lived up to our expectations.
