"A very good hotel, if you can tolerate music playing in the huge bar from almost early morning until very late at night, and rugby matches being broadcast on three giant screens. So, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to relax in peace and quiet during the day. Those who are forewarned and armed with the necessary information can enjoy the well-appointed rooms with good linens, a complimentary container filled with milk, water, and a variety of delicious and healthy treats, as well as a hot shower, kettle, dishes, a refrigerator, and an excellent swimming pool. The views from the terrace are spectacular. Enjoy them! Unless the workers start repairs again at 8 a.m. and ruin your mood for the next few hours with the screeching of drills, the screeching of grinders, and the banging of hammers. Why guests need to be woken up so early remains an unsolved mystery."
It is a very convenient location to the Airport. The staff are constantly cleaning the environment. The management are not quite fluent in English, which creates a language barrier for effective communication. The food options are not great. I attempted to order one chicken dumplings meal from an outdated restaurant menu, but I was told that it’s no longer available. So, if you want better food options, it’s best to walk around town. Be prepared to give 1,000 VATU, for key deposit that would be returned upon checkout. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to others!
Pros:
Convenient- very near the airport for 150VT ~ 250VT
Can walk to a nearby national bank to exchange local currency
Close to a cafe (too hot)
Can checkout late until lunch for free~500VT/hr
Tour operators know this place and can request pickup/dropoff here
Kind staff and manager
Cons:
Need to pay 1K VT for AC (the type of room I booked)
Soap only, no other toiletries
20 mins walk to mall for restaurants
Cash only
The location is very convenient to many attractions. The staff was friendly. The room is spacious but it would be better if there was any shampoo or body wash
