Final Thoughts on the Hilton

I've not yet had the chance to stay in a large number of up market hotels but the Hilton at Hua Hin has to be my favourite to date. Location aside, the atmosphere, generosity (in not only the room size but also service) and the facilities are second to none. I seem to recall being told that the UK and Worldwide Hilton groups were separate but from what I’ve seen of the UK ones they’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

I liked pretty much everything at the Hilton, the service was always there when you needed it but it was unobtrusive, the food was excellent (we ate there a few times) and surprisingly inexpensive and the cleanliness was top notch.

I really don’t think I can fault it. Having spoken to a couple of other visitors who were on the excursions I think we had the best hotel location-wise too, it was right on the beach (not that you wanted to go onto the beach too much as it wasn’t that great and it was crawling with salesmen), had plenty of space allowing you to get away from the hustle and bustle when you needed to and the fact that nearly every Hua Hin attraction was within a 10min walk or 5min tuk tuk ride just tops it all.

As if all that wasn’t enough, Hua Hin’s local brewery was onsite and served up some cracking food and the beer was, well, very tasty!

If you’re ever considering visiting Hua Hin I would defiantly recommend the Hilton, some places may be cheaper but they’re miles away and some even charge you to be transported to and from Hua Hin –around 400Baht (just over £5 atm) so save your money and live it up!
