Searched on "Bratislava Lindner" and no thread dedicated to this property (yes, maybe some posts inside another thread about all Lindner properties, but takes too much time to wade through to find info about a particular property. Each property should have it's own thread, imo)

Stayed here recently, based on photos it seemed bright and new, absolutely and relative to Lindners in Germany and Czechia. In addition, have passed through Bratislava couple of previous times, staying at properties of other intn'l hotel groups but Crowne IHG hotel is old rooms dark/furniture dated/worn, DoubleTree Hilton same as Crowne rooms have dated/worn furniture and thermostat centrally controlled. Radisson Blu was very good, and hotel across the river past Einsteinova intersection maybe was a Park Inn back in 2022, but Radisson network much smaller since split into Americas and non-Americas , in 2022 significant time in Scandinavia + other places with Radissons, but their network and program lacklustre, long story of trying Hyatt's property ...also that it's Cat 1 only 3.5k points Off-Peak.

Property very good ! Modern, new-ish, bright, colourful furniture in rooms and central areas (vs older furniture / less colour in other Linders).
Top floor (enclosed) bar good for view of city
Location very good ..only 1.3km from Nivy Central (shopping mall + station for buses local and long distance and international) ... in past trips was not a Hyatt member and considered hotels near Most SNP / Castle. So, it was unexpected plus point of convenience.

Breakfast has a lot of variety.
a. Hot foods remained the same daily
b. Salads + spreads + cold cuts + smoked salmon + pickled red onions (less -usual at other properties) ...almost the same daily ... pumpkin spread was tasty
c. sour cream (not often seen at other properties), cream cheese, pates, local cheeses ...good selection
d. breads, cakes, oval-shaped poppy seed + apple and cinnamon+walnuts+cherry more unique to Slovakia , and very tasty

Globalist benefits: yes, good upgrade to bright cheery spacious suite

Front-desk team : very good, some conversations, cheerful

Photos upload later.
Quickly typing this inbetween conference calls

Would i stay again ? Yes

Local cheeses ...the great poppy seed+apple and cinnamon+walnut+cherry \"strudels", only arrived on days 3,4,5 and I had already made photos. Google Slovak poppy seed ("mak") cake or strudel, you should find what I'm mentioning. Other aspect of these "strudels" is they are 80%+ filling and 15%-ish pastry/crust. (vs some desserts being 80% pastry/crust and thin 20% filling)
I forgot to mention fresh herbs - rosemary and oregano ...they were there the first two days.  Good with the egg salad, various dips/spreads, hummus
