Thien Thanh
Good rooms
What we say: 
The lobby here seems to be permanently decorated with Christmas decorations and along with the tatty ethnic cloth draped around pillars lends it a somewhat messy air. Despite this, the rooms aren't bad, though they are a little overpriced. They're bright and attractively styled, with hilltribe textiles hung on the walls and cute swans made out of towels on the comfy beds. The best rooms have balconies, which look out over the neighbouring fields, while interior rooms are rather dark. The pool is small but next to a lovely terraced area which overlooks the fields. Be warned though: Travelfish.org users have repeatedly complained of their booked rooms being given away if they are even a few minutes late.

OK rooms, gruff staff, pricy
Our last faorite hotel in Vietnam. Decent, clean rooms but pricy compared to two other hotels we saw in Hoi An. Decent but not great location. Good breakfast buffet. Gruff and not very helpful staff. Can not recommend this hotel

Great hotel, justifiably popular
We really enjoyed our stay here - gorgeous place and friendly and beautiful room for $35. I especially appreciated the Western-style bathrooms with bath tub and shower stall, a nice switch from the tiled room and shower-head variety. We didn't have any trouble with the staff and breakfast was fine - I think if they are out of eggs or all is cold (hard boiled or omelet) they will happily make more. Beautiful scene out by the pool - overlooks fields beyond.

Reservation not honoured
We booked this place well in advance after positive reviews from Travelfish users as a nice first place to stay in Vietnam. Despite confirmation emails from them, the rude, unapologetic staff gave away our room because we were 15 minutes late arriving from airport! We met other disappointed guests during our stay in Hoi An who said we weren't missing anything. I think maybe we had a lucky escape!

Not that good
We stayed here for one night because it was recommended in several publications (paper and internet). I was very disappointed. Room was OK and well decorated, but...staff was unfriendly and indifferent; shower in bathroom was a joke (water everywhere); there two levels in the room -- I fell in the dark due to only a partial step and no railing; the mediocre breakfast was set out 30 minutes late (we had to catch an early plane in Danang); internet did not work; and people were partying below our window on the deck until midnight. This was one of the few hotels in Viet Nam that I did not like. Is it that hard to provide good service and a place for a traveler to rest? IMO, Hoi An is a big ''theme'' tourist trap overrun with sheep-like backpackers buying clothes...there's a lot more interesting places to see and stay at in VN.

not worth the price
the hotel was very clean, but the staff was disorganized and unhelpful. there are much friendlier, better located and equally-if not more comfortable-hotels in hoi an.

Reservation not honoured
This place really was unbelievable. Booked on line and our bus from Hue was 30 minutes max late. They said that they had just offered the room to someone else. Were not even saying sorry!

Lovely but a little overpriced
We had booked very early which meant that we got a lovely room overlooking the fields but we still thought that at over US$50 a night, the room was overpriced. The decor was extremely tasteful and the staff mostly helpful. Some of the problem for us may have been that it rained the entire time we were there so we didn't get to make the most of the outdoor area or pool which I think may be a lot of what you are paying for. I also think there may be better value places to stay (not that we looked around that much). Hoi An is a fabulous place to visit though.

A little overpriced
Good points: Great location, Most staff Friendly, Nicely decorated roon and Spacious bathroom, Free internet Bad points: Over priced, Room we had, had no window, followed us to the airport to get money for an international call they forgot to charge us for. Our washing came back dirtier that we gave it in. Breakfast was cold so we ended up not having it most mornings. Think theres better value in Hoi An which we loved.

Great value for what you get
Stayed here for four nights while I was getting some clothes tailored and checking out the town. Some of the friendliest staff I've encountered in six months of traveling. The pool is chilly, a nice way to revive after hot days. Free internet and WiFi. The restaurant is OK. The location is only a five minute walk from the river. Very quiet at night. All in all a very good spot. They have a tailor associated with them - same family of owners. Highly recommended.

Nice with a few reality checks
I think Thien Thanh Hotel is experiencing growing pains. Now 2 years old there are things that need fixing, like our room's a/c. The rooms are very nice and well decorated, the bathrooms large and very nicely laid out. The hotel is building more rooms over the pool area. The staff seems a bit overwhelmed by their popularity at times and a couple of the staff members are less then helpful or friendly when the owners are not around. Plus there is the noise from the construction that makes it a bit less ideal at this moment. It's about a 10 minute walk into the old part of Hoi An, not an interesting walk, just down the streets filled with other hotels and shops. If you have a front room over the street the bakery starts up very early in the morning baking bread. If you have a room in the back overlooking the fields it's more quiet.

A Step up from the Usual
We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are charming and different from the usual tiles, white walls and odd blankets! The pool and terrace area is a nice place to relax. Prices at the time we stayed there were $16 for an internal room and $18 a better standard room inc. breakfast and free internet. We weren't convinced by their recommended tailor though - shop around.

lost booking
After reading these reviews, we were really looking forward to staying at Thien Thanh. We called from our hotel in Hanoi to book a room (our Vietnamese hotelier spoke with them first), and we booked a room under our name (spelled it twice!) for two days later. When we arrived on the morning of our booking, unfortunately they had no record of our call or booking and the hotel was full. I will say that the facilities looked stunning - so we were really sad to have to go looking elsewhere. Perhaps get a faxed or email confirmation of booking to avoid a similar mishap.

A quaint and quiet retreat
Thien Thanh is a very clean hotel. It is quiet and the staff are very friendly. With the free bicycles, we could roll our way into town in a few minutes. They are building an addition to the hotel that should be ready in May 2006, including a small swimming pool. Most travellers probably don't stick around town long enough have free hours at the pool, but it is an added benefit for those that have the time.

Anna and Neil
We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. The room had a reasonably priced mini bar, cable TV, large bathroom and AC. The stay was excellent value for money as it included a good breakfast and free internet use. The view from the deck at the back over the paddy fields is lovely. The staff were very friendly and helped book onward travel and accomodation. We were looked after very well. Highly recommended.

Brilliant
This place was brilliant. New, modern, spacious rooms with basic cable and (reasonably-priced!) minibar and a balcony overlooking the rice paddies. Free breakfast and internet. Wonderful service, very friendly and helpful. Laundry service was very fast. Location is not as far from Hoi An as the review above suggests - more like a 5 minute walk from town. Nothing bad to say about this place.
