“Cheap, noisy, uncomfortable”
It sits on the quieter side of town, but still gets noisy from traffic like buses and motorbikes. Thanh, the main staff member, was very helpful. The reception was simple but clean, and the elevator worked. After that, things started to decline. The rooms had enough space and natural light from a barred window, but room 502 had no view—just the wall of the neighboring building. The floor was freshly mopped but felt oily and gritty even after drying. The size‑4 slippers didn’t fit, so we wore our own shoes. The bed was hard, with a single flat pillow and a thin blanket on top. The sheet was linted and uncomfortable. The bathroom smelled awful, so we kept the door closed to avoid headaches. There was no spare toilet roll, no kettle or cups, so we had to ask for all of those. The shower leaked, keeping the neon‑pink mat soggy the whole time. The floor had hair from the previous occupant. Hot water turned off randomly, so we had to wait for showers. The air‑con blew directly onto the bed; even at a warmer temperature and low fan speed it was uncomfortable. The light was too bright, casting shadows at night, so we taped it down. The fridge wasn’t plugged in, so drinks and milk warmed up before it cooled. Some sockets didn’t work, and the bedside lamp was dead. Oddly, there were many warning signs in the room and a book listing “things that guests cannot do,” like using towels to wipe the floor or bringing radioactive material—yes, seriously. The worst part was the noise inside the hotel; the tiled floors and lack of soundproofing meant no dampening of other guests’ sounds. Mostly it was young children yelling in the hallways, and the lack of sound‑absorbing materials made it worse. It was so bad that we reported it to reception and also scolded one of the children yelling near our room.
