Opening its doors in 2007, the Elios could well be what the area was screaming for -- midrange options that aren't run down. This is the kind of place found in Nha Trang or Mui Ne, not the backpacker area of Ho Chi Minh City. The interior is decorated brightly with shades of cream, as are the rooms which also contain a sturdy set of matching wooden furniture, all brand new of course. Rooms also include a TV, fridge and WiFi is available. Standards are not exactly spacious but still comfortable and with a window, no matter how small. Superiors are bigger and offer a view onto the street through a slightly larger window, hence more daylight as well. Rates have leapt in the last twelve months, making the Elios less value for money, but if you're comfortable with the rates, it remains a sturdy choice.

friendly staff - 10th May, 2009
Stayed one night in april 09. Staff was very friendly in vietnamese standards. Location was good and because of that it was little noisy. There was only a tiny window in our room.

OK - 23rd August, 2007
Hard to book, and a little overpriced, but rooms are nice and it's well run. Beware the WiFi is extremely slow, to the point of being unuseable.

Elios = great place - 4th July, 2007
We stayed here for 4 nights mid June 2007. We had 2 adults and 2 teenage kids in one big deluxe room. It had 1 double bed, 1 single bed and a single matress on the floor. Cost was US$58 per night & was charged another US$10 for 4th person.It included breakfast.Great clean&new place.Close to the action.
