Please don't call.
Thanks to these trailing cookies, I see ads for agoda.com right now.
'Up to 75% discount'. Maybe it isn't a mistake fare.
I booked the executive room in June.
The voucher says 'no breakfast' but Hilton's website said complementary breakfast. We'll see how that plays out.

For sure you are not able to say what the dude has. The hotel has not yet opened and therefore nobody can know how they will handle the diamond breakfast. It might well be possible that diamond members can have full breakfast in the restaurant. It wouldn't surprise me.

True, but I am able to know what was possible to book. You could choose between executive room and executive room with breakfast (what I did, because 1 more is not a bad investment...
Maybe... but we don't know if the user who posted the question is a diamond member...(or gold)...

That's b.s., of course you get your VIP perks on 3rd party bookings. Where the heck did you hear this? You don't get any points/miles but you most certainly get your benis w/ 3rd party bookings (unless opaque booking of course).

However, the bookings won't be honored by Agonda. Some birds twittered this information to me

Aaaa, haaaa... A new rule for user "servus". To the rest of us, the gold and diamond amenities do apply (of course not the points)

If the booking is made from an American web-site, by law they are required to honor the rate. Either agoda, or hilton - it does not matter to the end consumer. To aggravate things more - the rates are non-ref, and this should work both ways. Imagine you made a mistake and booked a non-ref rate. Good luck cancelling that one.

Sorry, that's no b.s.! I've spent quite a couple of nights at Hiltons all over the world, so I now the HHonors programm and the ways to twist it in one or the other direction. In the earlier years I also booked through Expedia etc. NO perks where given, no stay, no points. Also happened last year to a friend of ine when we stayed at a Hilton in London. As he booked at the last minute, rates at Hilton.com were pretty high, so he used booking.com and as a Gold he got no upgrade, no bkfst, no nothing. Even the trick asking to add the HHonors number to the reservation so he might get points for the incidentals did not work. However, also had a stay in WAW booked on a thrid party site where I received all benis, but WAW was one of the best Hiltons in Europe.

In addition executive rooms comes with lounge access, so breakfast is included even without status - I don't remember any exception.
Hilton Kiev is under construction - probably a new hotel with new management uploaded these rules (executive room without breakfast) without mistake.

No surprise to me. Gold members are after diamond members in the chain of sharks. And as mentioned: Points, stay credits and night credits should not be given for 3rd party bookings. Diamond benefits, on the other hand, are given for 3rd party bookings (as long as it was not booked on an opaque site).
