Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Multiple guests reported serious hygiene issues: intermittent lack of running water, bad smells in the bathroom, ants and geckos in rooms, limescale/rusty fixtures and at least one report of a very dirty pool.
Service
9.7
Generally highly praised — several reviews call staff/owner very helpful, welcoming and engaged (organized tours, allowed late shower, warm reception). There are isolated negative incidents (receptionist indifferent, waiting for rooms, lack of apology about water outages).
Location
9.7
Repeatedly described as very good/central — on the main street, convenient for buses and with nice views from the balcony; location is a consistent strength.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed comments: beds generally acceptable but rooms can be old, sparsely furnished, with poor soundproofing, shower/bath layout issues and occasional lack of hot water; maintenance is inconsistent.
Amenities
9
Pool and rooftop are notable assets and praised by many; rooftop breakfast and balcony views add value. However, maintenance is inconsistent (reports of a very dirty pool at times and unattended rooftop bar).
Value for Money
6.8
Mixed-to-negative: some guests find the price/quality fair, others complain it is expensive for what is offered and that the cash-only policy made stays difficult — lowering perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Breakfast received positive mentions (Pho, fruit, rooftop breakfast praised). A few found breakfast basic, but overall feedback on F&B is strongly positive.
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall many guests would stay again and highlight friendly staff, good location, pool and view; significant negatives (hygiene, cash-only, water outages) temper the experience but do not negate the generally positive impressions.

Stayed 2 nights
Pros:

Nice balcony with great view.
Very good location!

Cons:

First of all, though the bathroom looked okay, it happened twice that there was no water. It happened once while one of us was pooping, so the room started to smell bad. Also the staff never apologised or even told us the water was going to turn off. The receptionist told us once it would take 10 minutes but it took another hour.
Secondly, the water that came out of the shower and sink occasionally smelled horrible and was probably also very unhygienic.
To conclude we were not able to pay by card even though it is stated you can. We had to use all of the cash we had left to pay.

If you want a mediocre stay, come here. The beds are fine and if you leave your key in the room, you can leave the airconditioning on so the room will also have a pretty good temp.

Expensive for what it offers
Pros:

Staff were always trying to help, the hotel is centrally located, and it would be acceptable if it wasn't so expensive.

Cons:

- We had to pay for the hotel in cash, which almost used up all our money. As a result, we were very limited during our stay in Phong Nha. There are no ATMs in the area without high fees, and there have even been cases of credit card data being stolen. I find it unacceptable to shift the responsibility onto guests to bring enough cash.

- The hygiene was extremely poor. We had a trail of ants and several geckos in the room. Some parts of the room clearly hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, and the fixtures were rusty and covered in limescale.

- The soundproofing in the room was very bad.

- The pool was completely dirty and full of dead insects; honestly one of the most disgusting pools I have ever seen.

Toppie
Pros:

De locatie is fijn. Het zwembad is groot en best diep. Maar het personeel is het beste.

Cons:

Er was niemand bij de rooftopbar, gelukkig mochten we er wel gewoon zitten en moesten we even doorgeven hoeveel bier we uit de koelkast hadden gepakt.

Pros:

Le personnel était hyper serviable, acceuillant et souriant. Le petit-déjeuner compris sur le rooftop était parfait. La piscine est grande et rafraîchissante. Le balcon donnait face à la rue et la vue sur les montagnes est superbe. L'emplacement est top.

Cons:

Manque d'insonorisation. Aurait besoin d'un petit rafraîchissement plus particulier pour la salle de bain. Salle de bain à l'italienne, perso je n'aime pas ce concept.

Più o meno un ostello con camere private.
Pros:

Posizione buona, sulla strada principale, comoda per prendere bus e altri mezzi. Il proprietario in reception è stato super disponibile e ci ha permesso di fare una doccia la sera prima di ripartire. Qualità/prezzo onesta (la colazione si paga a parte).

Cons:

Colazione estremamente basic. Le camere da letto sono vecchie, spoglie e poco curate. Pulite il giusto. Nel bagno la doccia è con i sanitari e non c’era acqua calda.

Pros:

The owner was incredibly helpful, kind, and welcoming throughout our stay. No matter how many questions we had, he always took the time to assist us with patience and care. He helped us arrange a day tour and even organized our overnight bus to Da Nang, which made everything so much easier for us.

What really stood out was his generosity—before we left for the night bus, he allowed us to take a shower and even provided fresh towels, which we truly appreciated. The rooms were exactly as shown in the photos: clean, comfortable, with wonderfully soft beds and efficient air conditioning.

All in all, we had a fantastic experience and were extremely satisfied with our stay. Highly recommended!
