The hotel is in a great location right by the riverside, making it easy to explore various seafood restaurants. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though a bit dated, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the dining options could use some improvement, especially with the breakfast selection. Overall, the stay was pleasant, but a few small tweaks could enhance the experience even more.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, but a bit dated. I did encounter a faulty safe, and after that, I was moved to another room across the hall, which was also tidy. However, it's odd that they provided a kettle without any glasses or tea and coffee facilities.

The hotel is excellently located right in front of the riverside, with numerous open space seafood restaurants nearby. While this is fantastic for evening walks along the river, it does come with a bit of noise from loud music.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with its spacious and beautifully furnished rooms being a highlight. The staff were incredibly friendly and offered helpful information, especially regarding travel. The location by the Mekong River is lovely, but it’s a bit away from the main activities of the city. My only downside was that the dining options could be improved, as they felt a bit basic at times.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is situated right beside the Mekong River, providing lovely views especially from the rooftop bar. The rooms are quite spacious and clean, though they feel a bit dated with their dark furniture. The service was friendly and helpful, but it wasn’t always ideal since they struggled with English at times. While I appreciated the breakfast variety, it could use some improvement on quality. Overall, it’s a fair deal for the price, but there are some areas that could definitely be enhanced.
