Description
This govt-run place seems to attract most of the westerners passing through town, and this is a pity. It's on it's last legs. There are way better options available in the same or lower price range elsewhere in town. We don't want to run the place down as much as we could -- indifferent staff, lousy housekeeping, screwed up plumbing, etc. Word is the Vietnamese govt is looking to privatise places like the Dakbla, and it looks like they are just letting it go to pot in the meantime, and the staff are wondering how long they'll have a job. They've even given up on using the restaurant on site, so if you get a room with 'breakfast included,' you'll be eating it at the Indochine around the corner. The only reason to stay here is that the same building also houses Kon Tum Travel, so it makes it easy to arrange tours. But, trust us, you'll be much happier at the Bac Huong or the Family Inn.

122A Phan Dinh Phung, Kon Tum
The Duc Binh has some pretty reasonable rooms, all things considered -- the air-con rooms are a bit musty, but they have high ceilings and are more spacious than what you might find elsewhere for the same price. TVs, air-con, and hot-water bath standard in all rooms. Internet is available in the... more
Bac Huong Hotel
88 Tran Hung Dao, Kon Tum
If this glistening new place doesn't lure you away from the Dakbla Hotel nothing will. It just opened in June of 2007, and we found the staff here eager to please. The courtyard in front features a spiral staircase winding up to some rooms on the second floor, and there are more rooms at the back.... more
Huu Nghi
69 Ba Trieu
This mid-range place is done up in a hill tribe theme, obviously designed for a Vietnamese clientele, but we found the staff spoke English well and were surprised by how good the rooms were. It's in a bit of a nothing location, but the rooms are clean and spacious, with high ceilings, cable TVs,... more
