After an overnight train from Hanoi sharing a 4 bed compartment (First class!) with two families and a monk with a sore throat it was great to arrive at the hotel to be welcomed with a drink and a cold flannel.
The room was massive (you could play badminton in it!), a huge bed and a nice bathroom. The only downside was a very small window that overlooked air conditioners outside so the light had to be on all the time.
There was a very good selection for breakfast and the staff were very attentive. We did not try the swimming pool on the top floor as the water did not look very inviting.
As other posts say it is quite a walk to the main part of town and the river but we got a taxi to restaurants and bars which was quite cheap.
There are several good restaurants near to the hotel too so there is no need to travel too far. Next door to the hotel is a shop/cafe/tour centre which is excellent. They provide lunches and snacks and even packed /breakfasts if you have an early start. The tour they arranged to the ruins at My Son was very good, we would recommend this place.

We arrived early in the morning after the night train trip from Hanoi and were blown away by the great choice for breakfast and the lovely garden terrace. The hotel is a couple of blocks away from the main town, but has plenty of shops nearby. There is a small, but adequate, pool (though watch the slippery steps getting in). Staff were very friendly. I left postcards for mailing and they arrived in Australia with different stamps to the ones I had put on. The staff must have realised they were wrong and changed them!

We traveled throughout Vietnam for 3 weeks. We stayed mostly in budget / moderate hotels paying between $25 - $35 a night.

We had just come from a 2 star hotel in Hanoi and a really crappy 1 star hotel in Hoi An. We were bracing ourselves for another just okay hotel in Hue. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. The host greeted us right away with towels and welcomes drinks. We really needed this welcome after an awful local bus ride for 5 1/2 hours from Hoi An to Hue.

We received a room with a king size bed, tv, and modern bathroom. This is the first hotel that had its own western style bathroom. A real bathroom with tub and shower and sink with counter. The hotel has recently been remodeled and it really is 3 stars...based on Vietnam standards this could actually be 4 stars. Everything looked NEW.

Definitely not budget hotel in terms of amenities. The price is in the budget / moderate range...totally worth it for $35 a night. I think the actual rate for this room is only $30 since we overpaid $5...the tour company took a piece of it.

Breakfast - The best food we had in our trip was in Hue. The food is wonderful and flavorful in this region. Thanh Lich puts out an amazing breakfast spread. Bun Bo Hue soup, Baguette, Pastries, Coffe, Juice, Fruit, Cheese, Ham, and many many other little Vietnamese dishes. Hue is known for having mini finger foods. Thanh Lich showcased this in their breakfast. In addition, the breakfast eating area has outside seating on top. Just beautiful garden setting....very peaceful....perfect place to start the day and relax with coffee.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. See my pictures. In the budget/moderate category, this is the nicest hotel we stayed and best breakfast in our 3 weeks. We wish all in this categor were as nice as Thanh Lich Hotel.

Good value, nice buffet breakfast and clean rooms, with a nice little rooftop bar. My group of 35 stayed here for four days. The whole hotel is very clean, and the staff have a friendly attitude. Our room at the top of the stairs was a bit noisy,but nothing to lose sleep over.
The guy who runs the little shop/restaurant outside the hotel is very nice, and will organise bikes, do laundry, and make tasty food for you. Several people in the group went on a motorbike tour he organised, and said it was the greatest.
