"This is my first time in Vietnam and I’m just in love with the country because of people i met. Hotel is in the middle of old quarter, massage/coffee/shops/food all walking distance. Hotel is clean, rooftop is cozy and cocktails are good, pools is clean and relaxing. Room without windows would be a little tiny- ok for a couple without kids. Room without window- spacious and has a cute balcony . My special thanks to the personnel- they were above and beyond with the hospitality ! Guest relations- Gerry- he was just amazing!!!!
