Radisson Blu Waterfront, Stockholm, Sweden
What is your Club Carlson status?
Concierge
Where did you stay?
Radisson Blu Waterfront, Stockholm, Sweden
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked a standard room. No upgrade as hotel was full (it wasn't but all the business class and suites had gone as there was a conference on next door, the guy at check in did seem to spend some time looking for a better room)
Did you receive elite benefits?
- Room upgrade: No
- Early Check In: Not needed
- Late Check Out: Yes to 15:00
- In-Room Welcome Gift: Fruit plate and chocolates and water
How are the rooms?
Fine but I was disappointed they had made no effort to give me a room with a view of the Radhus or a drinks voucher by way of compensation
What was good, what was bad?
Good: Great location beside station for the Arlanda Express.
Bad:
(i) I was literally shouted at waiting at reception "I'm helping someone else already" when I was queuing at the Club Carlson desk to ask about a late check out all before I had said anything;
(ii) breakfast not provided and had to show Concierge Card on the first day before it was rectified;
(iii) very long hoover extension just lay outside the room for over 24 hours.
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Two nights for 40,000 points and 2754 SEK (£251). Not good value without an upgrade. This is the second time my Concierge status has not been recognised at the Waterfront, and having been shouted at I shall never stay there again.

Quorvus G&V Edinburgh
What is your Club Carlson status?
Concierge
Where did you stay?
Quorvus G&V Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked a standard room. Upgraded to a 'curated suite'.
Did you receive elite benefits?
- Room upgrade: Yes
- Early Check In: Not needed
- Late Check Out: Not needed
- In-Room Welcome Gift: Fruit plate and chocolates, hand written card welcoming me back
How are the rooms?
Room 516 was sumptuous. Located up a private spiral staircase overlooking the Royal Mile, big living room with chaise longue, lovely original artworks, poems on the walls and shutters.
What was good, what was bad?
Good: Room was beautiful to look at and bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was very good the eggs benedict were perfect on day one and the Full Scottish on day two.
Bad: Original wooden windows with shutters meant that there was a bit of noise from the street. No air conditioning but being in Edinburgh that would almost never be required... Only small fault was there was nowhere to hang towels once used.
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
This was my last 2for1 and so at £259 total cost with the upgrade was terrific value. But as I will slip to Gold next year I wouldn't expect to get such a good upgrade next time. With 2for1 now gone I wouldn't stay here again as a weekend stay now becomes very expensive without a room upgrade nor free breakfast.

Radisson Blu Wroclaw
Were you happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes.
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
I booked standard room and got upgraded to executive suite. I have no idea what happened.
Did you receive elite benefits?
Complimentary Room Upgrade - Yes and it was quite an upgrade!
Early Check In/Late Check Out - Not requested.
How are the rooms?
My suite was pretty large and I loved the bathroom.
What was good and what was bad?
Well, an upgrade was certainly a good experience. Location is also very nice. On the downside, parking is a bit expensive and staff was more distant than I'm used to at Blu (but still very good).
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Two nights in executive suite for 58000 Gold Points is quite a value. Irrespective of upgrade, I'd be happy to stay here next time I'm in Wroclaw.

Yes
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked a standard room using free Friday night certificate to celebrate anniversary staycation;
Received upgrade to suite, top floor 18, balcony, Millennium Park view, access to EL
Did you receive elite benefits?
- Room upgrade: Yes
- Early Check In: Yes
- Late Check Out: Yes
- In-Room Welcome Gift: Yes, 2 bottles of fancy water, cake; 2 Drink coupons to use at restaurant, used for $15 cocktails.
Room already had 4 bottles of water. Nespresso machine, robes, etc
How are the rooms?
Room was large, modern.
What was good, what was bad?
Good: Everything. Very nice room, decent EL with plenty of self service wine and beer (No liquor), a decent number of snacks, hot and cold food. For breakfast, mostly continental choices. But very nice presentation, layout, etc Staff is great.
Bad: Nothing.
Value for money? Would you return?
Excellent value.
This is hands down the best Radisson I have stayed. Great Elite recognition. Suite upgrade both times I have stayed on points.
The 2nd floor has a large health club, basketball court, spa, lockers, steam, sauna, outside running track, indoor, out door pool, etc.
The only warning, is that on one side of the building, there is a fire station, so you will hear sirens at all times (evident when entering the building and in balcony). I was on south side, top floor, did not hear it once when inside room.

Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked superior room (the lowest category at Park Plaza) and got superior room. However, it was in a newer part of the hotel, on quiet side and on one of the higher floors.
Did you receive elite benefits?
Standard Park Plaza room. I liked sofa in the room, which was very comfortable. Bathroom was a bit smaller than I'm used to from Park Plazas in London.
What was good and what was bad?
This was the first time someone actually recognized my status and thanked me for loyalty at CC property. As usual at Park Plaza, service was excellent, although maybe a bit too formal. Negative would be absence of bathtub.
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
This stay was on Free Friday Night voucher but I would be tempted to return even on their usual rates.

- Complimentary Room Upgrade: No - but that may be related to very early check-in.
- Early Check In/Late Check Out: I arrived at 10:30 (normal check-in time is 14:00) and was given room straight away. I've not requested late check-out.
- In-Room Welcome Gift: After arrival, bottle of water, package of (tasty!) stroopwafel and a welcome note was delivered to my room. I also got another, larger, package of stroopwafel at check-out, although I'm not sure if this is related to status.

- In-Room Welcome Gift: At the beginning no, had to ask it and then got bottle of mineral water and some sweets.
Room was comfortable and modern. This is recently opened hotel, so everything is still fresh. I got room with balcony and view to the city center.
What was good and what was bad?
Room was comfortable and staff friendly. Parking is complimentary for hotel guests which is great perk. If you are coming with car from city center then it is quite difficult to reach the hotel especially if you are first time at that area.
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
I had OK stay.

Gold
Where did you stay?
Park Inn Riga Valdemara
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes.
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked standard room, got superior room which was a corner room and featured (pretty large) balcony.
Did you receive elite benefits?
Complimentary Room Upgrade - Yes
Early Check In/Late Check Out - Asked for 3PM and got it approved.
In-Room Welcome Gift - Yes, fruit plate.
How are the rooms?
Rooms are small (as described in a booking system) but otherwise beautiful and comfortable.
What was good and what was bad?
Good: Staff and all aspects of room except size.
Bad: Breakfast on a second morning. They were pretty good on a first day and then on the second, all hot items disappeared leaving very little choice.
Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Yes, with rates around 50 euros you get comfortable (albeit compact) room in a modern property, short tram ride from the city centre and with convenient access to the airport. Service as well as status recognition were perfect.
