Thang Tam hotels & places to stay

I stayed at this hotel for one night near the end of my trip to Vietnam, and I wish I could have stayed longer. First off, it's a 5 star hotel and I paid just over $100 for the night. While that is expensive for Vietnam, it is not expensive for a hotel of this caliber. It's a beautiful hotel, the beach area is great, and the prices for things such as room service, mini bar, spa services is really good. Again, expensive for Vietnam, but cheap if you're used to normal 5 star prices in places like the USA/Canada/UK etc... The rooms were big, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom was huge. The private beach area is great, and the property is very nice. The shopping center next door is handy if you're looking to buy some groceries and save a bit of money on food and drinks. The only meal I ate there was breakfast. It was a buffet, and it was very good. My only complaint is that it's a little far from the town, and it is the only place in Vietnam where I was expected to tip, so keep that in mind (the entire city, not just the hotel). The other great thing, for me, is that after spending two weeks in Ha Noi and Saigon, Vung Tau was ghost town. VERY little traffic, and it's very quiet, so it was a nice change of pace. I would stay there again, but I hope that if I do return, I can stay longer.

Generally, This hotel is one of best hotel I have been stayed. The main reason I will come back is the warm welcome staff. Mr. Tam at the front desk was very helpful with the list of local restaurant as I first check in. It was a very big help for the first Vung Tau traveler. The staff in the breakfast, garage (parking) were so nice and very helpful too. Thanks to all and specifically to Mr. Tam at the front desk.

For years, the only 5 star option in Vung Tau was The Imperial and i was really happy to see a Pullman locate there so i can have different option. The price in Pullman was competitive too so we decided to book 2 rooms for my group of friends. When we arrived around 12-1pm there was a large group tour (more than 5 tour buses outside) checking-out so we couldn't even find our way to reception counter. Perhaps hotel can provide group check out in different area to improve check-in/out experience for other guests. After we left for lunch at the mall next door, we came back and check-in proceed quickly. The room was superb, comfy bed, great amenity but i was not happy when they showed they welcomed guests via TV screen, they put wrong name, my friends weren't really happy with this so i called reception and was informed once it showed on TV, i couldnt be changed or inout new one. I didnt have breakfast but i ordered the food at the restaurant and it was one of the best dish i've ever tried in Vung Tau. The staff was helpful and friendly too. We came to Vung Tau because of the beach and cant say how disappointed i was when i found out the hotel didn't have private beach area. The other 5star hotel, they have excellent beach club. I dont really need a beach club, just a private area with sun beds. The pool also let us down, very bad design. In era when every pools built with infinity concept, this pool reserved old fashion style. Other times, i've chosen Imperial because of their beach and pool facilities. Hopefully, Pullman can fix this soon as i like staying in reliable global .

Positives: It's a new hotel, so the premises are very clean and quiet. The room was spacious, well designed and my wife and daughter (age 7) were comfortable. Bathroom was very clean! Linens were changed daily and room service staff and receptionists were very polite and helpful. In-room water, coffee and tea were free - nice bonus. The location is about 10 minutes walking distance from the main beach strip and it's centrally located so easy access to city restaurants and hot spots. Negatives: 1) We had a car, but they don't have sufficient car parking space. Either they keep calling you to move your car so someone else can get out or you leave your car keys at reception and they move it for you. Neither option is ideal. 2) If you like to watch some good HD quality channels at night while laying in bed after a long day of sightseeing and beach play, this is not the place. Cable reception was shotty at best and no international sports, news or movie channels. 3) Breakfast: One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was the Agoda reviews on the food - many said 5-star quality. I beg to differ - firstly, there was no buffet they entire 3 mornings we were there, why, not enough guests to warrant providing a buffet spread. So, we were given limited options - Pho, Bun Bo, Stir-fry noodles, or Eggs / Omelette - all of which were, while edible, not the 5-star rating we were expecting - oh well. 4) Smoothies - Ordered a coconut smoothie and got chopped up coconut pieces in some cold water. I own a restaurant, and we sell smoothies, so I know what I'm talking about. We simply returned them and got our money back, only to get a sour-puss face from the staffer, lol - no apologies, or can we try to make you another one, just a sour face. 5) They advertise a jacuzzi up top the building - nothing of the sort Conclusion: Value for money paid - ok - I'd go back. If they'd change some of the small details - it would be great.

We often go to the Imperial next door but this time we chose to stay in a more affordable hotel and it was very pleasant. The porter greeted us and took our bags to our room. The check-in was efficient with plenty of English and things looked good from the first impression of the lobby. Our room had a lovely view over the sea and back over Vung Tau city and the mountains. Everything looked clean and well maintained. The swimming pool was well managed with a young guy watching the kids and I ordered a couple of beers watching my daughter enjoy herself. The breakfast has no cereal but there was plenty of eggs , toast and meat as well as salad. I do find the Imperial a bit pretentious with all the fake Regency paintings and statues. The Sammy has all the facilities without the cost and the phoney environment. I have no hesitation in recommending this place for a pleasant few days ar Vung Tau

The hotel was very modern and clean! Pool was great too, there were no beach chairs available at the pool for tanning but we made it work. There isn't a whole lot around the hotel. There is a mall less than 10 min walk from hotel but not much in there. There is another mall located further, roughly a 25 min walk. There seems to be more restaurants/ options in this area. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful

This hotel quite cheap with a new building. Clean and nice interior at the room. Fast internet through wifi. Nice bathroom and convenience bed. They service us so well. When we arive here the room just clean and then they send us the fruits as the compliment. This hotel has a best view to the beach. Right in front of romansa restaurant. This hotel also has a simple seafood restaurant right on the next hotel building. The foods are not expensive but with a good quality of seafood as well as good in taste. You will have more choice also at night by the seafood stall along the street next to hotel building and accross the street. In the afternoon just accross the street to the beach and find many seafood there. Delicious and cheap. While the weather is rain, this hotel will provide you umbrella at the receptionist. And if you just want to go arround, you can also go by vinasun taxi that always standby in this hotel or jist rent motorbike in this hotel. In short, green hotel is the best 3 star hotel that i ever stay in vungtau.

Went to Gio Bien for the weekend. Had booked a room with sea view but hotel claimed Agoda had reserved a room with street view. Agoda tried to solve the problem but to no avail as the hotel was full. We stayed at the assigned room. Room was not bad. Shower was not working, but it was fixed as soon as we called reception. Clean, quiet, excellent location, nice buffet breakfast, quick check out. One of my friends forgot his iPad charger. We called as soon as we got back to HCMC, hotel said they’d check and call back but never called back. Called again the following day, same promise, same result. Good hote, just don’t leave anything behind or you’ll never hear from them again.

I was looking for a reasonable hotel for my budget vacation and I accidentally found this hotel. While most of the hotels near the beach is 500.00vnd++, this one is just 400.000vnd (service charge included). Its location is also convenient, just 300m to the back beach. The room is comfortable, exclude the wc, I don't know how the others think but I found that wc is a bit creepy to me haha. In summary, I recommend this hotel to everyone who's looking for a cheap accomodation for your budget vacation.

We stayed in a different room due to this room had some issue but the host was responsive and supportive. Our 2 years old kid loved the view from the apartment. It allows to stay with a dog (extra 10$). Great sea view and close all facilities and beach. We didn’t use the pool but they have an indoor pool. They also have restaurant in a facility and parking space is available with extra money. So far great apartment to stay!

Great condo, very spacy overlooking beachcoast & amusement park. Walking distance to Lotte Hypermarket, Mall & lots of restaurants along beach. Just down street G8 disco club too Building has a restaurant, tried to order sandwiches ban mi but said only breakfast buffet on sundays not sure what was available but 2 restaurants across street instead. Hotel pool is good for very young children but 60,000 entrance needs to be paid & only 1 entrance allowed not entire day or stay. The rooms are spacious & air conditioning didnt seem to stay cool even though we just used all the fans which was very effective but if a hot summer not sure if property working or if we didnt set remote correctly. Bad thing is if you leave condo all power is shut off which is fine, but once you return Air conditioning needs to be re set every time, should come on automatically... Karaoke machine does not have microphones , so our children were disappointed with it. Great Kitchen & full size Refrigerator fo

Firstly, there were some minor problems with the room. But the management took steps to improve our stay which was very nice. The apartment hotel has a lot of plusses but there were some minuses. The Agoda ad they had mentioned king beds but that was inaccurate. There were only Queens in the room. Easily corrected. Our one bedroom was spacious and clean, the kitchen was not yet kitted at the time of our stay. So no dishes, cookware or cutlery available. No ovenette or microwave. I was told all those would be provided if we booked for an extended stay. I found that a bit odd. There were no hooks in the bathroom so you couldn't hang anything. And I find it perplexing that the shower stall had no ledges areas to put toiletries. I'm sure though, they will fix that. But overall our stay was comfortable. The mgmnt, upgraded our booking to a double bedroom at no charge for the error on the king bed issue which was very good. I wouldn't mind coming back to stay again.
