Great place to stay”

Although a little dated, the hotel is just great. Has some old world charm, the staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms were a good size and the breakfast was great all for a reasonable price. Located just 5 or 6 minutes from the airport it was about $5 to get a taxi, although on our first stay we got their free pick up service. There are heaps of local style restaurants in walking distance and lots of shops and interesting local attractions as well. It was just a great place to stay

Very good value for money. Close to airport but far from city center. The best aspect is airport transfer. Even when the driver has day-off, the bell-man will come to the airport and bring you to the hotel with taxi. Would be convenient for those who first time in Vietnam and avoid hassle of taking taxi (as the hotel is in short distance to the airport, taxi would be not willing to take you).

Basic hotel”

Ageing hotel in need of some renovations. Clean and tidy bedroom. Had to get staff assistance to turn on air-conditioning in the sub par gym (had to turn on power from the fuse box). Equipment was in poor on non working condition. Food for the breakfast buffet was on quite a low standard compared to other hotels at a similar price point. No one asked if I wanted a drink sitting in the lobby area when there for 15 minutes. The highlight was the car service offered to the airport. Stayed there for the location, just the staff management/customer experience let down as it's been rated as a four star hotel.

I stayed here for two nights. Room is small even though I chose a deluxe room. Cleanliness is not great, water leaking underneath the sink while using. Bathtub is old and small, not recommend for seniors for their safety. Gym is not in operation with reason "under repair" from staff. A very typical excuse since I'm from Vietnam :) I paid 850,000 VND but I would spend a little more to stay at a better place.
