26.11.06A lovely place with very budget breakfast running with hotel owner. Walking to to cho dem night market just 3 minutes, surrounding with alot of budget meal, is suitable to backpacker.
26.11.03Very disappointing experience. My main concerns were the lack of English communication and the way my passport was handled.
The staff member spoke essentially no English, which made the situation extremely difficult to understand and resolve. He noticed that one of the numbers on an immigration stamp in my passport appeared to have been written with a pen and repeatedly questioned me about it. I had never even looked closely at my immigration stamps before and had absolutely no idea why it was written that way. I explained that I did not make any changes to my passport, but I was made to feel as though I had done something wrong and was told I needed to go to the police or immigration to resolve it.
I understand checking a passport and following the required procedures. However, I felt that this went far beyond simply checking my documents. Trying to investigate whether an immigration stamp had been altered or forged put me in a very uncomfortable position, especially when I had no control over how the stamp was made in the first place.
I had already stayed at other hotels in Vietnam without any issue. In the end, I had to leave, find another hotel at the last minute, and pay for alternative accommodation. Agoda was also unable to simply refund the booking, so I lost a lot of time and money dealing with something that I had never encountered before.
The whole situation ruined a large part of my afternoon and caused a lot of unnecessary stress. My passport was fine, the next hotel accepted me without any issue, and nobody there questioned anything.
I’m not complaining that the staff member was trying to do his job. My complaint is that I felt he went too far in questioning something that was not my responsibility, while being unable to communicate effectively in English. As a foreign guest, being treated this way was extremely uncomfortable.
I would strongly recommend having staff who can communicate in English and who can handle passport/immigration questions in a clearer and more reasonable way.
26.10.25Travelled with a family of 4 adults and 1 baby, I loved this place for its central location, right by the night market but still very quiet and convenient. There are a lot of places to eat in walking distance and close to Dinh Cau.
