Indochine Hotel

I booked Indochine Hotel from 3/11/25 to 6/11/25. It's clean, tidy, and safe, and probably the best hotel in town, though a bit overpriced. The daytime female receptionist speaks great English and is a lovely young woman, very helpful and caring. The other staff were polite and considerate. The buffet breakfast, included in the price, is a must or you'll be hungry for the rest of the day. There are plenty of Vietnamese and foreign choices, and the kitchen staff are excellent. Breakfast runs from 6am to 9am. My main complaint is that the restaurant is closed, so there's no food or evening meal at the hotel. There are very few cafes or restaurants near the hotel, and Kon Tum city has a real lack of places to eat in the evening. It's hard to find food around the hotel, and the quality is poor, even though Vietnam is famous for its food. Kon Tum has hardly any decent cafes or restaurants serving proper Vietnamese food, which is very disappointing. The nearby coffee shops around Indochine Hotel serve what I'd call the worst coffee in Vietnam. The lack of tourism experience is obvious. The Central Highlands are lovely for sightseeing, but the food is basic, overpriced, and tasteless. Tourists stay one or two nights at most, then leave. People come to the Central Highlands to visit Mang den, including Vietnamese tourists and the occasional foreigner, but they can't stay in Kom Tum. That makes it hard for the so-called city to develop as a tourist hotspot. This is a problem for Kon Tum and the Vietnamese and federal governments to solve.
