Scandic Järva Krog - Room 900 (superior room)

Back on the 9th floor, but this room was a little bit different furnished than some of the other rooms on the 9th floor. Lighter materials and room for a small couch.

The bathroom with floor heating :)
It has not been renovated but it wouldn't hurt to change the shower or at least descale it.

The toilet was very low - not that I minded - but take when you use it, there's a long way down...
In this bathroom no heated towel rail.

Scandic Järva Krog - Room 812 (upgraded room)

After the renovation of the hotel last year the rooms from 3rd-8th floor have the same interior, but in the rooms on the 8th floor you also have coffee/the facilities and a fridge.

The view from this side is not too exiting, but in summer time you can enjoy the sun setting.

The bathroom with shower cabinet.
 A big mirror over the wash basin, but no add make-up mirror.

Best Western Crown - Room 420

Went back to Mönchengladbach for another stay and chose this time Best Western Crown, situated not far from the Holiday Inn and with a supermarket next door.
The hotel offers admittance free of charge to the nearby fitness center - First Fitness - you pay 5€ when you enter the center and get a refund at the hotel reception. The fitness center is great, very big and plenty of different machines to use.

Got a room on the highest floor, 4th floor, and the room standard was fine, db. bed, a small sitting and working area. A small minibar under the tv, but as the supermarket was next door, there's no reason to buy high priced water at the hotel ;)

<- in the corridor on the left hand was the bathroom and on the right hand a closet.

The bathroom was small but had everything - even an adjustable make-up mirror :) As you can see in the mirror the was also space for a heated towel rail.

A shower cabinet behind the door.

The breakfast buffet was good, different cold and hot dishes to choose from. I will probabaly choose to stay here next time I'm in Mönchengladbach ;)

Holiday Inn - Room 517 (superior room)

First time in Mönchengladbach :) but unfortunately I didn't have time to explore the city nor the surroundings. The first impression of the hotel was that it seemed a bit "old fashioned", but at least the room wasn't. Friendly staff at the front desk...But I do not understand why internet is not included in the room rate today, it should be offered free of charge by all hotels today, it costed 13€ pr. day.

I got a room on the 5th floor, just next to elevators but I didn't hear any noise, neither from guests.
A nice and spacious room with different seating areas. The bed was good and you could choose between 4 different fillings in the pillows, haven't seen that before ;)

A small working area but no plugs. The only place I found 1 (one!) plug was next to the bed used for the trouser press. A minibar with a small selection of snacks and beverages.

Compared with the rest of the room the bathroom was small, but it was ok. Lots of towels and a small heater below the wash basin. Tried to turn it on and soon it got very hot in the room, but have probably been nice during this cold winther. The only remark I have to the bathroom was the make-up mirror was placed rather high and could not be adjusted and when you not 6 foot tall, it wasn't that useful.                  

The breakfast buffet was nice, many different things to choose from and looked appetizing.

Hotel Dorint, Amsterdam airport - Room 693 (Executive floor)

At my stay this time I was upgraded to Executive floor on the 6th floor. Very nice service from the front desk and appreciated from my side of course :)
The room interior was similiar to the previous room I stayed in - please read room 369 review, except for bathrobe/slippers, another brand of shampoo/soap and an orchid.



The best thing was that the minibar was free of charge ;)) - snacks and beverages.

Scandic Järva Krog - Room 1021 (superior room)

Check out the review of room 1016, however this room has view towards Stockholm. In the morning you have the sun rising, can be really beautiful :)

Scandic Järva Krog - Room 915 (superior room)

I will not bore you with another review of a Scandic room at Järva Krog ;), but refer to one about room 1016. Very much the same room and interior except this is on the 9th floor :)

Hotel Dorint, Amsterdam airport - Room 369

If you have business in the area of Schipol airport (or Lijnden area), I recommend this hotel. I have meetings in Lijnden, and though Park Plaza is situated closer I still prefer staying at Dorint. There's a free shuttle bus from Schipol to the hotel and you do not have to book a seat. The staff is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed. My impression of the hotel is also that it's much fresher and kept in better condition.
The selcetion at the breakfast buffet is great with lots of different cold/hot food to choose from. The staff at the restaurant is very effective, so hold on to your table otherwise it might have been cleaned while selecting more to eat.

A really great and big bed with a "real" duvet, so nice :) - one of the best beds I have slept in at the different hotels.
There's a workingspace with cable, plugs and a decent chair to sit in - and the wireless is free of charge, of course.

Not that it matters too much, but it's not that often you see an old fashion CRT ;) in a hotel.

Iron board in the room and the possibility to make cup of coffee or tea.

The bathroom is light and comfortable. A small selection of necessities, such shampoo, lotion, cotton buds, nail file etc. And really nice with a make-up mirror, thank you for thinking of us women :) 

Hmm..strange that this has not been removed?!?

YES!! - really great fitness room with different cardio machines and good space for exercising with weights...recommenable!
