Hoang Thu Hotel

The prices are low, and the owners are friendly and personable. But the walls are paper thin, so every hallway conversation comes through loud and clear, and a door somewhere in the building keeps slamming. The bathroom also didn't drain properly, leaving the floor wet and slippery all the time.

The walls were so thin we could hear everything in the hallway, including noisy kids from a family living there, who would sometimes knock on our door. We were also woken every morning at 07:00 by extremely loud construction outside the window. It sounded like it was happening inside the room and continued from morning until afternoon for our entire stay. A cleaner would open our door at 08:00 every day, but never actually cleaned the room. They seemed to assume everyone was out by then. We asked for late checkout, and they wanted to charge more than the price of a night's stay. The place is far from the city center, where you can find a private room for the same or less. Our room, floor, bed sheets, toilet, and towels were dirty, and they never cleaned the room. There were only two power plugs, both used by the refrigerator and fan. I have nothing good to say about this place. They're unprofessional and have a lot to learn about running a hostel and providing service.

Good.

It smelled bad and wasn’t clean. The drains didn’t work, and things such as the toilet paper and toothpaste looked like they’d been sitting out for ages.
