QaMi Hotel

If getting good value is your main concern, this place is hard to beat. For the price, you get a clean room, hot water, and Aircon. It’s a short ride from the beach and bridges, with fancier Korean quality shops nearby as well as more local food options. It’s literally run by a mom and pop, so don’t expect too much, but the value is really good. If you can, pay them directly in cash instead of through the booking sites, since you’ll get a better price.

They’re lovely people running a small hotel, and I’d definitely come back. The staff are hospitable and helpful, though they don’t speak English, so Google Translate came in handy. At night you can park a motorbike inside, and there are a few parking spots for cars too. The room has air condition, a fan, hot water, refrigerator, blow dryer, WIFI, TV, and a pot for heating water.

The room was 200k, which was what we expected to pay. At checkout, the lady asked if we’d eaten the noodles in the room. We said yes, and she added 40k. We were okay paying, but nobody had told us they cost extra and there was no price tag, so we’d assumed anything provided in the room was free. She was extremely rude and said it wasn’t her problem. When we asked about renting a motorbike, she wanted to keep both our passports for “security reasons,” even though we only wanted one bike. The dirty room, bad-smelling bathroom, and cold breakfast weren’t a big issue for us, but checkout and the passport demand made this my first bad experience in Vietnam. If you want a great holiday in this beautiful country, avoid this place at any cost. It doesn’t even deserve one star.

The room was small and dirty, with old, shabby furniture and a tiny window facing a wall. The blanket wasn’t clean, and there was a very unpleasant smell. At half past 8 in the morning, I was woken by very loud knocking above my room, as if they were fixing something. When I complained, the staff pointed at the clock, as if to say it was already time to get up and I shouldn’t mind. Definitely my worst hotel experience in Vietnam.
