Arriving at Tet, Vietnamese New Year’s Eve, I was invited to celebrate at midnight on the rooftop (beautiful views) with the owner and his family. This set the standard for a thoroughly enjoyable stay. I enjoy being left to my self, but this was a luxurious hotel with all the privacy that entails, but with a dash of the charm of a home stay.
I enjoyed the location, since I was looking for something a bit away from the tourist hustle and constant bustle of the old quarter. It’s just over a ten minutes quick stroll to closest Circle K, and then you’re in an area with a ok selection of restaurants and bars. Enjoying a good walk I also appreciated to saunter down the roads along the West Lake to the city center. Being there during Tet it could be a bit hard to get a (cheap) Grab, but for the rest of the year that should be a cheap solution when one’s tired of walking.
Granted, this is a very new hotel that just opened a month ago. So there will be small details that’s not completely fixed yet, but who cares when met with so much eagerness to help and warming hospitality.
