We stayed here as part of a packaged tour. However, it should be quite a deal for most as the dong (Vietnamese currency) is very weak. Especially in the off-season, you may even be able to negotiate a price. The staff was extra friendly, always willing to help us with big smiles. They love to practice their English on you too so spare 15 minutes and chat with them. You can learn a lot about the people when you talk to them. This is the best reward of traveling. The elevators are real old school, they are so small but charming that it only fits 2 people with maybe a small luggage. One thing to look out for are these gecko lizards all over the ceilings, in your room, on the rooftop bar, everywhere. Some may find that cute but if you have a fear of lizards, you may want to keep this in mind.
