Manageable for the duration I was there. Nothing special
Pros:

The location

Cons:

I thought for the price the Hilton name should offer more. There was no element of staff and the hotel going above and beyond for its residence. No element of making the stay more comfortable. When asked if I could check in earlier like other highly competitive hotels I expected them to go out of their way to make me feel comfortable instead I was being charged more than the room itself.

Great, exactly what we were hoping for when we chose the Hilton
Pros:

We moved here from another hotel in KK which in our opinion was very disappointing in amost all aspects. The Hilton was in the same price bracket and excelled in all. The room was great, spacious and clean. The breakfast had a wide choice of quality options and the pool area was fantastic. location was also good with Gaya Street and the night market within walking distance.

Cons:

Very little to nit pick.
