This is a great hotel to base yourself, while travel to other tours, such as Sapa, Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh. All of the staff were friendly, professional and welcoming.The Asian style breakfast did not suit my taste, however there was toast, cereal, fruit and yoghurt, and eggs cooked to order, which were sensational. If you can’t sleep with lots of party noise, I would suggest you ask for a room at the rear of the property . The pool was ok.
