Green Ant Hotel Nha Trang

This was the worst of the 20 hotels we tried in Nha Trang over two months. We change hotels every 2-5 days, and I found this place disgusting and misleading. Don’t ruin your vacation here. There are comfortable options in the area without paying more, so I’d skip it. I wouldn’t stay here even for 100k vnd a night. The smell was awful. The facilities were very old, and everything seemed to have absorbed cigarette smoke. After two nights, even our clothes and backpacks smelled so bad that we had to go to a laundry service. The whole floor smelled like an ashtray as soon as we stepped out of the elevator. They tried covering it with perfume spray, which made it seem even more like they thought this was okay. The room was extremely dark, with only a few lamps and no proper lighting. The bathroom was dirty and old, like something from the 70s, as other guests have said. The design they describe as traditional Vietnamese style with high grade wood and rattan furnishings seemed to trap dust. There were bits of food embedded in the tables, chairs, and bed frames, and we saw all kinds of insects, including ants and cockroaches. The air conditioner remote didn’t work, and the unit was loud, noisy, and cold. Without a working remote, we couldn’t adjust it, so it was either deal with the smell without air conditioning or put up with the noise. I got sick and woke the next morning with a strong headache, which affected the rest of my week. Hot water was only enough for one quick shower. Then we had to wait 20-30 minutes for the large, dirty heater to warm it again. They need to stop fooling people and close for a big renovation. The hotel seemed not to care about guests, just money and business. I suspect they boost fake reviews, because I can’t understand how it’s listed in the same price range as cleaner, newer, more modern hotels. This was an absurd experience for us in Southeast Asia, not just in Nha Trang or Vietnam.
