The hotel had a calm atmosphere, comfortable beds, and friendly staff. The breakfast was great and the hotel was extensively renovated and very clean. The rooftop restaurant had a nice patio. The airport pickup was on time and the porter and receptionist were very helpful.
Nothing to complain about at all.

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making it a great choice for budget travelers looking for a quick and easy commute. The quiet neighborhood provides a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for those seeking some solace and quietness. The rooms are clean and comfortable, offering a pleasant stay. The staff is friendly and always ready to assist with any requests, providing excellent service. The breakfast menu offers a variety of options, allowing guests to choose and order their desired meal, a unique feature compared to other hotels.
While the hotel offers a comfortable stay, some guests have mentioned the lack of nearby amenities such as convenience shops and money changers. However, this can be subjective and depends on individual preferences.

The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and offers easy access to public transportation. The staff was welcoming and friendly, providing excellent service throughout my stay. The breakfast served at the hotel was delicious and offered a good selection of options. Additionally, the hotel is situated in a clean area, with nearby coffee shops and other amenities.
The hotel's location can be a bit confusing for some taxi drivers, so it is advisable to book the hotel's pick-up and drop-off services. The soundproofing of the rooms could be improved, as noise from neighboring rooms and outside disturbances could be heard.

Loved the personalized breakfast box they gave us for our early departure. We had a plumbing issue, but the staff fixed it promptly. Room was smaller than expected, but still comfortable. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay.

Stylish, rooftop area for breakfast and drinks. Good staff, free beers, and terrace access during Tet holiday. Great travel experience, well-executed owner's vision. Quaint and secluded, not like a chain. Comfortable room with great bed. Good quality, tasty food in the restaurant. Helpful and nice staff. Well presented.
