Villa Song is a beautiful, smallish , luxury boutique hotel. Rooms are beautifully appointed, very clean, very comfortable. Located on the river, it's nice to sit and enjoy a meal watching the traffic passing on the river. The surrounding area is very removed from the bustle of the city, with a few good restaurants and bars, but not much street life. The river shuttle to the city is fantastic, but if you are wanting to go anywhere other than the local area, it is a taxi ride. There is no lift, so be aware if you are on the 2nd or 3rd floor, there are a lot of stairs. The pool area is great. The restaurant is good, great service and a tasty menu, but definitely not cheap. Staff cannot be faulted - very friendly and professional. A great place to wind down after a trip around Vietnam.
