Room for 3: 2nd person stay free benefit
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!

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?

I send all my bookings for travels to tripit so bit of a nuisance.

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 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!

I need to be at BKK airport at around 8am leaving from the Millennium later in the week. What time would I likely need to leave the hotel at? And what would be the best transport option at that time of the morning?
Are there likely to be metered taxis sitting at the pick up/drop off zone at the hotel or will the hotel need to arrange one & will that be a metered one?
Thanks in advance

While I have nothing against taxi, I’ve had some ugly haggling situations before and don’t need that aggravation early in the morning. So for our airport transfer from and to Suvarnabhumi Airport, we used (and highly recommend) the AOT Limousine service which costs THB 1,500 (about US$46) and they run comfortable Toyota Camry which can carry up to 3 passengers comfortably with luggage - you can easily find the AOT stand at the airport and they are very professional. We also had the Concierge at the hotel contact them by phone to arrange for the pickup to go to the airport.

Agree that you should be OK if you leave the hotel by 7AM.

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 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.
