"This is a very nice hotel.  I did not expect a lot because Ha Giang is not huge for tourism, and, to be honest, the room rates were not expensive.  However, i was delighted to find myself in a lovely hotel, modern, clean, well-maintained.  Our room was great, with double aspect windows, a good size, modern bathroom.  The buffet breakfast was good with plenty of choices.  The staff at reception were very helpful & spoke good English (I did not expect that!)  They organised a car & driver for us the following day, so that we could see the beautiful scenery around Ha Giang.  Above, all, I will always remember sitting on the lovely terrace at the back of the hotel, enjoying a cold beer!  This terrace looks across a lovely river with high karst mountains on the other side.  It really is a stunning setting & i am surprised that the hotel doesn't show more pictures of this in it's advertising!!  It is not often that a hotel has such a tempting and lovely outlook to offer.  So, if anyone reads this and is thinkjng of going to Ha Giang - definitely go there!!!  It's a lovely town in a beautiful mountain & riverside setting, with a stunning surrounding area.....and i very much recommend staying at The Phoenix Hotel!!!  (I don't usually write so much in a review.....but this horel & place were such a lovely surprise!!"
