Hilton Garden Inn Bangkok Silom

Warning: potential health risks due to mold! Pros: -Staff was kind and helpful. -The pool is a cool oasis on the rooftop- a bit of traffic noise- but easy access to the small gym and room service. -The location is great for spending a day touring temples on the river! -Shabby but functional rooms with a fridge and adequate hot water and pressure in the shower. Nice shampoo and conditioner! -The breakfast is okay- lots of choice of cheap breads and cereals. An omelette station and a noodle station were highlights and the coffee is provided by an industrial espresso maker that is not too bad. Cons: the hotel really needs to ***** the carpeting in most areas. We first had room 1210 and I had to sleep with a mask on! We arrived at 2:30 in the morning and I noticed a strong mildew stench but as the air conditioning had only just been turned on, I hoped the smell would dissipate. It was powerful and began to give me a headache so I got up and put on a mask around 3 AM. When i woke up the next morning, I realized that it was worse than I had thought and the smell was pervasive and probably causing lung damage. The first thing I did was report to Trip our circumstances. The hotel switched our rooms but did not compensate our time or discomfort in any way. The new room was a huge improvement but you can still see stains and some water damage, as well as carpets that need a deep clean. My recommendation would be to avoid this hotel until it gets the basic required remodels it needs to be safe and comfortable.

The room is small but decent. The bed is unbelievably comfortable. Good breakfast choices, great location. I get it that it’s not a new hotel, so i still find some staining in parts of the room, like bathroom corner or on curtain. But overall, good place to stay.
