Pros. Clean room, no bugs, hot shower, good sized room and a little more than basic breakfast (noodles, toast, cereal, eggs, bacon and fruits). Helpful staff. Only one Con. Not walking distance to night market or dong khoi, but only a $1-2 taxi I recommend reading up about taxi scams*** There are a number of taxi companies which are privately... More

Nice clean hotel. I am solo traveller so a standard single room is exactly that. A double bed would not be able fit in the room. Clean bathroom housekeeping everyday. My room was at the back so super quiet. A window that is frosted so cannot see out but does let light in. Tv with many channels breakfast is not... More

Our family (two adults, two teenagers) stayed in two deluxe suites in Sep 2011. About A$48/suite/night. The “suite” was two small rooms with a connecting door. The amenities were good and room was quiet. Staff at front desk a bit indifferent, the rest of the staff were good. Location is all right but a bit of a walk to major... More

Three of us as a family stayed for 4 nights here in September 2011. It is not in the downtown area and at first we thought it might be a problem, but in the end we found it allowed us to see quite interesting areas of the city and it isn't very far from the centre. Taxis are very inexpensive,... More

Rooms are small but clean and in good condition. Staff are excellent. Very helpful and polite. There is always someone available who speaks adequate English. Meals are... More

These guys certainly went above expectations when we went to check in and realised I had booked the wrong date for 4 days later. I admitted my error and the team were happy to check us in without any excessive fees (in fact, about $5 cheaper than what I originally paid). They advised me to cancel my booking.com booking I...

The hotel is discreet and very homely. For the price, it is very good. There are no bars or karaoke so the environment is neat, clean and private. The staff knows you well so no strangers can hang around. That's make it a safe hotel for lady traveller. Great job by David, Emily, Kent and the excellent concierge. I did... More

Apparently won an award back in 1999 for " Best Boutique Hotel ", well that was a long time ago and could now do with refurbishment, no windows that open and room stunk of cigerette smoke and slightly of mould. It is close to the markets, but out of the main tourist area. Very noisey from 6am till midnight as... More
