Our receptionist helped us plan for a trip to Ha Long Bay, which was very memorable. We didn't have enough time for other trips, but everything was well planned. The staffs have good energy and we felt like VIPs all throughout the experience. Although I feel the room a bit smaller than expected, the staff made up for it! Special thanks to Phoebe for giving us good recommendations and making us feel welcomed, we will definitely be back!"

"The room was beautiful, including a spacious and well equipped bathroom and a little balcony. Cleanliness was impeccable, and staff's friendliness and helpfulness was excellent. The hotel is close to the end of the runway, so there may be noise. The rooms are reasonably well sound proofed so I did not need the provided ear plugs to sleep. If you want to stroll around and see things, this is not your area, but for a business stay with work in the area, or after and prior departure, I recommend this place wholeheartedly!."
