Description
This tall hotel in the loop behind the market is unused to having westerners drop in requesting rooms. Or maybe they get a little jumpy because the massage parlour behind the hotel is so obviously a brothel it's not even funny. The massive eating hall is a good indication that Vietnamese tour groups show up here in force, but we can definitely recommend the rooms. We found interiors done in light wood colours, and beds with clean, crisp sheets, nice bedding, and canopy -style mossy nets. Also, cable TVs and better than average bathrooms. Single men should refrain from leaving their door unlocked at night -- it's generally taken as a sign that you want company.
Total rooms: 21
Standard - Double
150,000 Dong (low season)
