The Lindners are somewhat run-down business hotels, similar to weaker hotels from the Hilton and CP brands. On the upside, every room has a desk. Downside is the rooms feel dated. Lobby areas and service are also a step down from your typical business Hilton or Sheraton.

The me and all hotels are the more interesting ones. They are in much better shape, in fact, several are brand-new. They obviously target a younger audience. E.g., staff will not address you formally with Mr./Ms; breakfast has the typical avocado-based dishes, chia pudding, beetroot hummus, etc.; the bar runs DJ nights.

Many me and all feature a very nice coffee shop (Rosterei Vier). On the downside, standard rooms are quite small. If you want to spend a lot of time in the room such as for working, getting a higher room category is really desirable. The me and all incorporate "boutique" design which is in poor taste (like at the Moxy).

Overall, me and all is a much better fit with JdV than Lindner. Again, my main gripe is that base rooms are so small but this is not so unexpected of a JdV and will also be the case for, say, some of the Story hotels.
