Our room was wonderful and the view was spectacular also. The restaurant and the bar, very at ease places with eye-catching decoration. What is also important, in a good hotel, is the service and the staff. Very good, always trying to be helpful.

They are closed until the end of May, they will transport you to an alternative pool at another hotel but it is not a patch on the one we expected here. The rest of... More

Solid 4 star hotel. No issues. Nice size rooms, good breakfast, good pool. However the rooms that have a connecting door between the rooms are not sound proof enough. The noise in the room next to you ... it could be right next to you.

Rooms with the bay view are nice. Location is a bit out of the way from the main action but it is still within walking distance. Touts peddling rides to "massage" spoils the night stroll you may want to consider, especially if the weather is cool. Hotel wise is nice. Breakfast buffet is so-so in my opinion with rather limited... More

Excellent Sea Facing Rooms with a great view of Halong Bay especially sunrise. Modern interiors with clean lines, toilet fittings are new and easy to use. Location of hotel not that near the jetty to take the boats out but cheap taxis are readily available. Walking distance to the night market with its rows of repeated wares. Walk further down... More

In general, we don't have any complaint about the rooms, services , or something else. However, before arriving at Ha Long, we had been introduced that the dinner in your hotel will be discounted by 50%, but actually the figure is just 10% . We really disappointed about this problem. This is not a synchronization between HaNoi and Ha Long's... More

We were only there for one evening and one night, so didn't have time to sample many of the hotel facilities. Our room was at the end of a corridor facing the sea, so a stunning view of the bay. The room and bathroom were both a good size and the bed comfortable. Apart from rather noisy and excited Japanese... More

The hotel is clean and location is good facing the Bay Area. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Room was big with all the usual amenities. Lovely pool but it was a bit too chilly to swim.Tried the spa and was pleased with my hot stone massage. The snacks at the Bar/lounge was pretty good too. We stayed 2 nights and the... More
