Find Hotels in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam

Our room was dirty - floors were filthy - my feet were wet from the shower and turned black on the bottom when I walked a few steps over to my bed. Hotel walls have smashed insects on them. Bedsheets had obvious stains. When the bedsheet was removed, it revealed a mattress covering with mold stains. Room smelled musty. Breakfast each morning consists simply of a large hot bowl of noodle soup - no water, coffee, eggs, or anything else. Hotel obviously does not cater to foreign tourists, but there are few other choices in Thai Nguyen available on the Internet.

The name of the hotel is actually Dong A, no taxi driver could find the Phuc Xuan Resoirt as it is not known by that name. It is the Khach San Dong A III (Khach San - meaning hotel in Vietnamese). It took our taxi an hour and lots of asking to find find it and we did by going there and asking where the Phuc Xuan Resort is and they said here. There are no signs for Phuc Xuan Resort as a name and no one has heard of it. We did find it though after spending alot on the taxi $30, not taxis fault. The place was quiet and ok. Only one person in the kitchen spoke any English so it was a challenge.

It was nice. During my stay there, all receptionists showed their care for guests. When it was out of electricity temporarily, they operated their power generation quickly. Whenever we had any questions or any requirements, they were willing to response and explain fully to us. Further more, as this hotel is located in the centre of Thai Nguyen city it is convenient to go to any place for entertainment and traveling. Generally, I like to stay there.

Great service from smiling and accommodating staff; sincerity and genuinely friendly people adorn this hotel for tourist and business travelers. Breakfast was a buffet with many choices, plus noodles and eggs. The coffee was hot, juices fresh, and the milk cold. Dinner on the 15th floor proved to also be a fabulous choice; I selected black pepper beef with rice, vegetables, and soup. After calling in for laundry, the staff immediately came to my room, even though it was 8 pm, picked up my shirts and returned them ironed within two hours. Great services!

It was ok if only the staff spoke English, I had a Vietnamese student traveling with me and you need someone to speak Vietnamese in Vietnam, there English is very bad, and the teaching of the language of English is of poor quality, which I have gained the information from students who say they need English people to teach them not teachers who don't speak English well anyway. apart from that, Vietnam is a good place for a holiday .

This has been, to date, the best homestay I've ever done. This family houses local university students, and now travelers! I was invited to a delicious hot pot dinner with Nam and his amazing family, given a tour of the town and college afterwards, and got to meet a lot of the students as well. The room was modest (bathroom outside of room), but spotless, good wifi, quiet and comfortable. I really can't ask for more for this price. The experience of hanging out with the family and students afterwards, and having new friends, is an added bonus. Don't miss this place!
