Applebee's Homestay is in a great location on the banks of the Con River, with loads of boats taking tourists up and down to Phong Nha Caves. Loads of friendly bars and good restaurants around. Rooms are big, very clean, with A/C and excellent wi- fi and private bathrooms. We went out to dinner to a river boat restaurant and that was great. Breakfast next morning very poor - a plastic covered menu with a choice of eggs, cooked five different ways or banana pancakes. Food very slow in arriving, only one cup of coffee offered and there was no one to ask for another cup. Lack of staff on duty. We went to the coffee shop across the road to get a proper second coffee.
