We checked in at 2pm for a C&P stay. In lieu of an upgrade, for which they had 'no rooms available', we were offered dinner at the resto. The room was new, not fancy but decently put together, and our view was out toward the Hilton on Soi 24 (no windows faceing DT) on a high floor. Staff walked us up to the room and when we came down for dinner the male staff came over and referred to us by name.
Elevators are rather small and of the 3 only 1 appeared to be finished with any semblance of good craftsmanship. Petty but noticeable.
The room was not big but decent enough size with a big window. Bathroom was comfortable with rain shower; good pressure and consistent water temp. Two 500ml water bottles which were replaced by turn down service.
For dinner there was a buffet with 4 dishes for Asian and 4 for western. Also soup and other stations. Food was decent. Staff was nice. It was not crowded but there were large tables in the back with 'reserved' signs on them.
For breakfast the place was packed at 8:30AM. While we had a cup of coffee waiting for a table one opened up and was immediately taken by some Asian women who didn't care that there was a host for seating... staff cleared the table and accepted it. Saying the breakfast staff was disorganized would be putting it lightly. Getting coffee or juice was not easy. Food, again, was decent.
The hotel itself is about 100m down Soi 26 and another 40m to the BTS station. Just to the north of the hotel is a
guaytiao (soup) place which is divided into a smaller and larger room. The south (smaller) side is considered better though they are run by the same family.
South down Soi 26 is Bo'lan; expensive but very good Thai food.

If you were to head out back from the resto you'll see a deck with a walkway that leads to the Hilton grounds. Currently this is blocked by large potted plants.
