Compared to other Hilton hotels not as nice as expected. I would have expected that most Hotels would have renovated their rooms after the covid season, however, in this hotel the room floor is in a bad condition, the room door as well as the door to the neighbor room have gaps so that you can hear the neighbors talking and the silicon in the shower looked black / moldy. The check-in process was slow and you always have to keep in mind to tell the staff that you are a member of Hilton before you place your order rather than the staff asking you if you are a member. Those you won't enjoy the member benefits if you forget to mention that. The pool in general is nice and we really enjoyed being there, however, they forgot our small food order and delivered it after asking when it started raining. This was 45 minutes after we placed our order. The service at the roof top bar was also rather slow.
On Saturday evening, we wanted to enjoy the buffet dinner which served all kinds of food and looked really delicious. It seemed like that the meat wasn't well prepared / cooked as it was lying outside in hot temperatures and was more or less medium rare to rare delivered on the plate. At 5am in the morning I woke up with stomach cramps and had to vomit which I think was from the food we had this evening, following symptoms which indicated food poisoning lasting for 2 days. On our check-out we mentioned the food problem, talking to the receptionist, the Fu0026B Manager and the Director of operation. Even tho they all were really sorry about what happened, they couldn't offer us anything than the "sorry". I was asked what I would expect and I mentioned that they could give us 1 complimentary dinner, however, the answer was that if they would do that, they would admit that I got food poisoning from their dinner and no other guest had complained on this day. I was also blamed why I did not report the problem on the first day but on the second day, which I don't believe would have changed the situation at all. After looking up other reviews, it seems like that this problem was reported a few times before on platforms like TripAdvisor.
In overall a bad experience as we only planned to stay 2 days in Hua Hin and we could not do much on the second day of our stay. I will anyways give 2 stars for the location and the pool area, as well as for some people from the staff which took food care. The missing 3 stars are for the bad handling of the problem, the long waiting time at check-in and the time the service took to deliver food and beverages.
