A most pleasant surprise! The first impression isn't much: The hotel lobby is decorated with cheap-quality rattan furniture, and it isn't even air-conditioned. However, the room turns out to be very nice: Well equipped with all the basic comforts one would need, including a frig, good-connection Wi-Fi, a reclining rattan sofa with ottoman, bath robe, plus a small balcony with a coffee table and two chairs and a good view of the South China Sea. The location of the hotel is also quite nice, lots of restaurants and coffee shops around, and a 5-minute walk to the beach and water front. The staff is most friendly, and try their very best to be helpful, even though most of them do not understand English too well. The electrical outlets near the desk aren't designed properly, but the problem is fixed soonest I have informed the Front Desk. Breakfast is average, but fair enough.
Just two minor negative points: 1) Breakfast is until 09:30, but they staff would start turning off both the lights as well as air-conditioning at around 09:15 even though there are still guests eating; and 2) the Laundry List is in both Vietnamese and Russian, no English! It is apparent that the hotel must have housed lots of Russian guests in the past, but perhaps now is the time to have English included as well.
All in all, a great value for the money; I would highly recommend this hotel to all my friends.
