Hilton being Hilton. Excellent service, especially the concierge team. Every single one of them greeted me with a positive engergy. Rooftop bar has a happy hour which was from 4pm~8pm. I highly recommend getting some cocktaills at this time while enjoying the swimming pool. There are several massage places and convenient stores within 5mins of walk. I will definitely stay at Hilton on my next tirp.

Vi havde booket 3 værelser, hvoraf de 2 var fine. Dog lå det ene ved elevatoren hvilket var irriterende da det larmede meget. Morgenmaden var super fin, dog mange mennesker og meget larm, men udvalget var stort og maden var lækker. Personalet var generelt søde og rare.

They also kindly allowed us to get a late check out. It was really helpful as my partner was not well and needed more time to rest after our late flight in. Only comment for improvement is the standard/quality of the food for room service could be better.
