“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed 2 nights a few weeks ago. Found a good deal on a booking site. We had one of the rooms that faces walls and other rooms but as we were out all day we didnt really care. Comfortable room with A/C. My only surprise was that after 3 weeks travelling the south of Vietnam this was the first hotel where I found cockroaches....6 huge ones! (at least they were dead so I guess they spray). I mentioned it to the front desk and the bodies were removed by the time we returned!

Breakfast good with a large choice. Rooftop pool was excellent after a day sight seeing, just a shame the surrounds were a tad run down but as the hotel is being demolished soon I guess thats why. Good location. Friendly staff especially the door men.

“Run down and dirty”

What more need we say. The pool area especially was not pleasant. We complained to management while staying there and little was done to clean up the area. The hotel is located in a vibrant backpackers area, so maybe that is what they should promote the hotel as- A backpacker guest house.

“Dirty and run down”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2010

We found the hotel was not as presented for marketing. The Pool area was always littered with empty bottles/ drink glasses, cigarette butts, full ashtrays, and rubbish around entire area. Totally detracted from wanting to enjoy the services. Informed hotel but met with little response. Generally the place was also grubby and not to international traveller standard. We would NOT recommend this hotel unless maybe backpacking.

“value for money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

Stayed here for 3 nights. First night they gave us a room with terrible view, facing concrete block (which is part of the hotel building). Hotel's lay out, especially its backyard (it's actually tiny ugly open space, not a backyard!), is awful. Seconds after entering the room, I requested another room with better view. They immediately promised me better room which was available on the next day after 1 pm. Surprisingly, they moved us at approx. 10 am the next day, a room facing Nguyen Cu Trinh st. Thumbs up!!

The rooms has newly renovated, but the lobby was rather smelly. Anyway, they'll demolish this hotel by the end of October this year. A 5 star hotel will be built in this location, but gas station right in front of the lobby must be removed too!

Breakfast is OK, variety is also wide. Hotel staff are generally excellent. Room Service's meal is really taste soooo.... good (Pho Bo and Crab Meat Fried Rice).
