What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
OKish, nothing more and nothing less. Indifferent feeling

Which room did you book ...
Standard (=superior?) double beds

and which upgrade did you receive?
The same I guess. I didn't really find differences in rooms, even though there are differences according to their booking engine, but one cannot really tell which one is better than the other

How are the rooms?
Fairly decent size for a HI, but not big either. No frills, standard. Shampoo dispenser in bathroom was empty.
We requested an extra bed for a 3rd person, which cost 30€

How is the exec. lounge?
There is none

What was good and what was bad?
+ OK room, clean, not so worn as some rooms look on their webpage
- no elite benefits, no positive surprises nothing if you expect some.
- small and not so safe parking area costs (we parked on the street nearby, but there is not much space you can find)
If you expect exactly what you imagine booking this, then it will be just that and no more.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
For the low prices they usually have, this is a good value to just overnight stay checking-in late and leaving in the morning. With any higher price than 70€ I would never book this.
Will never return if other DUS hotels are available.
