A gorgeous French Colonial style hotel, so clean and amazing service!!! We had booked a few nights, but almost left after 1st day, as the room was so hot! (When you take the key, the air conditioner turns off too). Luckily the night porter Hieu gave an extra key, and fan to cool it. He also helped get us easy tickets to Cat Ba, and basically saved our stay! We ended up loving the pool oasis! The breakfast was very good, the Gentlemens lounge drinks were OK, dinner we tried 1 night, also very good. Restaurants, cafes and markets in walking distance, though better food a quick taxi drive away. Can totally recommend!
