Misleading - Given Different Rooms Than the Ones You Booked
Cons:

Be Careful – You May Be Given a Different Room Than the One You Booked

I want to share our experience so that other travelers are aware. We booked two King Rooms with a balcony. The photos associated with this room type clearly show bright rooms with a balcony, and when you use the balcony filter, this is the room that appears.

However, when we arrived at the hotel, we were given rooms with only a small window and no balcony. When we tried to explain this to the staff, they insisted that we had misunderstood the booking. We were quite certain about the room type we had selected and the information shown before completing the reservation.

We arrived very late at night after a long journey and were extremely tired and feeling unwell. We tried to calmly explain that we had carefully checked the room details before booking and that if there had been any mistake, it should be corrected. Unfortunately, instead of resolving the issue, we were repeatedly told that we had misunderstood.

At that point, we suspected that the rooms we had booked may have been given to other guests. Unfortunately, we had already paid in cash upon arrival. When we asked about changing the payment method or finding a solution, we were told that we could simply go to another hotel. Since everyone in our group was exhausted, that was not a realistic option.

Later, the hotel offered a 15% refund and asked us to block the credit card so they could proceed with a cancellation, which made the situation even more confusing.

Despite what happened, I am actually glad I had the chance to write this review so that future guests can be aware and double-check their reservations.

As for the overall impression of the hotel: the property feels somewhat old and does not give the fresh impression shown in the photos. The level of cleanliness was also average.

Beautiful quiet place
Pros:

Ha Long Essence Classic Hotel is a beautiful hotel situated in the more quieter area of Ha Long, the staff were very friendly and polite. We enjoyed our stay there.

Cons:

There were some rowdy people on the same floor as us, but other than that there was nothing else to dislike.
