We decided that we should have a nice relaxing weekend at some hotel that is nice and luxurious to destress from everyday life and just enjoy a bit. We decided that the best option was the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel that was on our way to Denmark when we took our road trip back in September. I mentioned already that I'm a big fan of road trips. I just think they are great fun, I get to spend some quality time with my husband and we always have a great time on our road trips. This time we again had an awesome road trip, spending the weekend in Zagreb and on our way to Denmark we stayed a day in Hamburg also, but I’ll talk about that day in another blog post. Today I’ll share with you my experience at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and tell you about activities we did, their food and overall comfort at the hotel.
Our road trip to Zagreb was really comfortable. Roads are really nice, easy and the drive was not long. It took about 5 hours to get there and we had fun driving to our destination. They have underground parking which is really nice, we always pick hotels with underground parking because it is a lot safer. You do pay 24 Euros for a day’s parking which is a lot I would say, especially because they don’t take responsibility if your car gets damaged or something stolen from it. Check in was a bit long. I have to say, the hotel was really busy and we stayed in line waiting for about half an hour. There were many people and they would take a long with stuff they had to finish, so we did get annoyed a bit because we wanted to lay down and relax a bit. You do pay for a deposit, we paid in cash and they did state the amount in the document you get. I’m not sure how much it was, I think something about 200 Euros, but I could be wrong. We did get a deposit back when we checked out, so I would advise paying for the deposit in cash at reception.
Our room was really nice. I really liked it. It was spacious, very big and a comfortable bed and bathroom was really nice, it had a shower and bathtub so definitely a nice experience. I will say that the room was super clean and comfortable and I can see why many would choose this hotel for their stay. Bed was awesome and we really had a great sleep during the two nights we spent there. Honestly I can’t say anything bad about the room, it was great. I will insert some photos of the room, so you can see it a bit better. I also made a little Tik Tok video and Instagram reel, so if you want to check those out make sure to check out my Instagram and Tok Tok accounts. I would say that stay at this hotel was really comfortable, we had a great time, very enjoyable experience, there was an alarm mishap one night, but I’ll talk about it a bit later.
We did book a room with breakfast and dinner included and I think that is the way to go for sure. Food was great. At dinner you get a great three course meal with a nice variety of dishes and we enjoyed our dinners very much. Every dish we tried was amazing and we loved them, so I would definitely suggest booking a room with food included. Breakfast is as every hotel breakfast is, a Swedish table with so many good options. They literally had everything, it is my favourite breakfast at any hotel I have ever stayed in. Also we had such great coffee at their local coffee bar in the hotel. It was such a good cappuccino, I enjoyed it so much. All in all, the food was amazing, we loved it and we definitely felt that the stay in the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel was worth it because of good food also. Hotel is definitely not cheap, it is on the pricey side, but food makes it worth it for sure. Our dinners were so good that we both felt like staying in the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel was so worth it, especially because of the food.
Of course the spa experience was also really nice. I love spa hotels, I think they are a great way to pamper yourself once in a while and really enjoy your life nicely. In DoubleTree by Hilton hotel you have many different options for a spa. You can book a massage and they really have few different options. There is fruit and fresh food in the spa, so you can stay nourished and have a snack if you get hungry. There are two bio sauna chambers with hot rocks and one wet sauna. There is a jacuzzi that is pretty small, but really nice. Obviously they have a gym also. We didn’t work out as we came to really relax, but the gym is well equipped. There is a big pool that is really nice and to be honest we spend most of our time in the pool. Our SPA experience was amazing and I really enjoyed my time. I would definitely choose this hotel again for a spa weekend as I had a great time. One night while we were at the spa, one woman opened the wet sauna door and left it open for too long and triggered a smoke alarm so it started going off like crazy. We had to leave SPA right away and they told us to go outside of the hotel. As I saw what happened we just left for our room, because there was obviously no fire anywhere. They kept repeating for us to leave the room over the radio. It was going for about 30 minutes and then it stopped so we could finally relax.
That’s all from me for today. I hope you enjoyed this blog post. I definitely recommend you to visit DoubleTree by Hilton hotel if you are looking for a spa hotel, I think you would enjoy it. I definitely enjoyed myself, I would stay at DoubleTree by Hilton again for sure. I’m glad I had to experience it and I definitely enjoyed every minute that I spent there. Let me know what is your favourite hotel to stay at? What is your best so far hotel experience? What is your favourite thing about staying in the hotel, is it the food or great hotel beds? Thank you for reading. Have a nice day! xx
