8.6/10 Excellent! (79 reviews)
We stayed four nights. Very friendly staffs. Healthy breakfasts, included in the cost of the room. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY FOR THE WIFI AND SIM that are referred by the hotel manager/staff. We paid 800K VND for a WIFI device and 300K VND for a phone sim. The 300K VND seemed to work, but the 800K VND WIFI device was useless. We even exchanged to try the second one, but it was still useless. Sim and WIFI for 30 days are lot cheaper everywhere.
