Hi,
I am considering this property and for a couple of nights, I will need the room for 3 adults. I noticed that this was possible - this does trigger a higher price compared to selecting 2 adults. Do you know how should I make my booking so I can still benefit from the 2nd person stay free benefit?
Previous experiences at outside of BKK, it was ok for the hotel to still charge the 2 adults room and have a 3rd adult in the room - but I am not sure of this property.

What would be the best way to make the reservation? Select 2 adult and add a note that room is for 3 adults?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Your comments are very similar from mine in my review back in June "shrinking rooms". I was very disappointed with the renovations and the end result.

Especially the room door which can be broken with only one push!

I spent two nights here last week and appreciated the refurbishments. This contrast between the old and refreshed rooms was quite stark for us; upon check-in at 2pm, our suite was not ready, but we were provided with a regular room in the meantime. The regular room was on a lower floor that had not been refurbished. When our suite was ready just 30 minutes later, the improvements were very welcomed from the minute the elevator door opened to the refurbished floor. One can find some faults, but overall I'm pleased with the renovations. My only disappointment with the suite was the low quality of the sofa.

The executive lounge was a bit of a zoo, but that was because of the hotel guests. It felt more like a family restaurant than anything else, and lacked any sort of tranquility or sophistication that I look for in a lounge (e.g., people on Skype or watching a football match without headphones, bare feet on the sofa, etc).

Yesterday I booked a room for this upcoming May and haven't received an email confirmation yet. It's showing up under my Hilton account on the website, so I'm not worried about the reservation, just found it odd. Is it normal to not receive an email confirmation from this property?

Only looking at this thread as have stayed there a couple of times - but regarding your comment above, I booked a room at a Hilton in the UK (I am in the UK) yesterday afternoon and no email either (and is showing on my Hilton Account page) - also notice there is no longer the option to "resend email" on the booking/account page.
I send all my bookings for travels to tripit so bit of a nuisance.

I always got a confirmation email from Hilton in general and this property in particular.

I believe Hilton is having some IT issues as the HH account has not reset yet for 2019 - explained here by Loyalty Lobby https://loyaltylobby.com/2019/01/22/...g-2018-nights/

But I believe they fixed that issue but now this email thing!

You will be fine with a 7 AM departure from hotel. Contact the porter (bell boy) or the concierge to arrange a metered taxi the day before. Otherwise get a Grab!

Yes, AOT Limo service is highly reliable & a no-haggle solution - all for a reasonable enough price. Highly recommended versus the taxi lottery ^.

Even though I am a Hilton stalwart, always working on my nights to stay Diamond, you may also consider the Novotel at the airport. That is what I do when I have early departures. And you can expect the cost of a taxi to be more like THB500 instead of the AOT's THB1500. Although taxi's on the street can sometimes refuse to meter I have never had problems to or from the airport. 7am will get you to the airport half an hour later, so enough time to allow for the unexpected.

My experiences with regular taxis to/from BKK are mixed. The last years I've used another limousine service . Pre-payment by CC, confirmation of on-line reservation within an hour, often minutes. Reliable service, Toyota Camry 950 THB, compared to AOT 1500 THB

I visited this hotel many times over the years. Today this is the first time I visited after they refurbished the rooms and to me it is very disappointing. The quality is below double tree on sukhumvit and I really liked the huge table and window facing beds they had before. All this is gone in a favor of a rather generic room. I would have much preferred if they just left this hotel alone.

I hope they don't "refurbish" Conrad this way. I prefer old style rooms. I think I will replace this hotel with Crowne Plaza or Sheraton. I am not a business traveler and book these hotels for pleasure and pay dearly out of my own pocket. I won't be coming back.

The lounge treats for Valentine's are nice though.

I'm looking to book a family suite or possibly better suite at the Millenium Hilton for a couple of nights in October - some say wait until 3 months before the stay to get best pricing - does that sound correct? Also, with gold hh status, will exec lounge access be guaranteed if using a suite even if not on the exec floors? My usual corporate set code seems useless at this property by the way.
