I do not want others to decide for me. I do want to hear suggestions and recommendations from others that stayed at this property to assist me to make my decision and I very much appreciate above posts and thankful to FT posters, including you. I usually do not like NOR1 upgrades, but knowing that in Europe breakfast and drinks can cost quiet a bit decided to consult here before I confirm my NOR1 upgrade for 45 Euro per night.

That'd certainly improve the value-for-money. The breakfast is good, although as I say I've always had it for free and €26pp is still quite a lot in my view, although appreciate not by hotel pricing standards!

Hilton Munich city centre - tacky move
Stayed at the Hilton Munich city centre for a few days on points last week. Got my checkout bill, and was charged for a "donation" to the Hilton foundation. Never asked, it was just there.
Hint for Hilton: donations are asked for, not charged without permission. I had to get a mini bar charged fixed anyway so I had them both removed, and made it very clear that it was because I was charged without being asked.
Tacky move, Hilton.

Some UK, European, and other mostly international Hiltons have been doing this for years. It is very similar to what Starwood does. The front desk people seem quite familiar with the process for removing it from the bill.

Years ago some UK hiltons would have some limited time extremely low rates with £10 going to the foundation.

I would like to thank you once again for your suggestion. Have received Citi Hilton Reserve card and got Gold status instantly. Enjoyed complimentary lounge access at this property and additionally was granted a full breakfast buffet in the restaurant. Well spent $90.

Just enjoyed a few nights here using points (as a Diamond) on vacation. Great location--connected to the subway--and an easy walk to downtown.
Exec Lounge had nice breakfast--as did restaurant. And good service in exec lounge as well for "happy hour."

Glad to hear. Do you recall EL hours, particularly on the weekend? TIA

Just had a very poor stay in this hotel - should have trusted the poor reviews I had read online. As a Gold, I didn't receive any benefit at all (no breakfast, no upgrade, no water, no bonus points, no late check out available), and the room wasn't ready at the stated check in time (14.00). Instead they instructed me to buy lunch at the hotel restaurant while I wait until 15.30.
When I eventually got to the (non-smoking) room, it stank of smoke.
Definitely my worst Hilton experience since moving over from IHG, although I have to say, every other stay has been excellent.
