Good stay for the money. Hotel is on the very popular Bui Viên Walking Street so it’s ideally situated for nightlife activities. Is very loud throughout the day and night so recommend ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Hotel is a bit older but well maintained and clean. Staff were amazing!

Stayed here 2 nights at this hotel, this is a lively part of town everything is going on here plenty of bars, live music, eateries, mine was a room overlooking the street and the manager Sam warned me be about the noise but assured me any problems I will change the room ! But no problem I slept well. Breakfast was fine also. Great place for a short stay. Thank you.

As we were on the main street it was a party atmosphere outside but to be expected. Though ear plugs were provided. The first room had no windows, so staff moved us to the front on the second day. Which was appreciated. On the main floor was a restaurant so felt very safe. Great party location.

This is a great location. I seen a few reviews from people here complaining about the noise. I decided to get a hotel room here anyway, and I am happy I did. After a long day, and when I am tried, the music and partying on the street is not going to stop me from sleeping. If you want to be in a safe hotel, with great staff, and you want to be in the middle of all of the parties, and action, I highly recommend staying at this hotel. There are Bank Machines nearby, a Circle K Store, as well as a 7-11 Store nearby... I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

10/10 Amazing Staff and Brilliant Location

Amazing Staff I was met by the Bar Manager Nancy who then organised the reception to come and book me in. The hotel is really new which was a big bonus and I had a large ensuite. Fantastic location right in the main strip, but if your a lite sleeper most probably not the best place ro stay. On the ground floor of the hotel is a brilliant restaurant will plenty of different options. All of the employees are very helpful and if unsure what your asking will use translator.
