Velar Hotel Con Dao - Vung Tau

We booked this hotel and since I’m relatively new to the platform, I reached out to the property via whatsapp before arrival to confirm the booking. From pre-arrival through our five-night stay, the experience was excellent. The owners, Linh and her husband, Lan, were incredibly supportive, responsive, and resourceful throughout our stay. Their hospitality truly made the experience special. We stayed in room 306 w/a mountain view. The view is lovely, though the room faces west and can get quite hot in the afternoon. That said, the blackout curtains helped. Housekeeping is provided daily like at 8 am which may be noticeable if you’re not an early riser, but they consistently replenish towels, coffee, and tea as needed. The hotel itself is quite new (around three years old) and has thoughtful details throughout—branded slippers and water bottles, a mini chill fridge with drinks, and ice available upon request. Water pressure was good, and Wi-Fi worked most of the time without issues. The front desk staff were helpful, and the hotel offers motorcycle and moped rentals. Since we didn’t have an international driver’s license, we rented a scooter for 150K VND per day. All transactions were cash-based. They also arranged airport pickup and drop-off for 50K VND per person each way, which was very convenient. Breakfast is available, either buffet or à la carte depending on occupancy. We’re not morning people, so we didn’t try it ourselves, but other guests shared positive feedback. The location is excellent—about a two-minute walk to the beach and very walkable overall. At the end of our stay, the owners surprised us with a thoughtful gift, which we will always cherish. A heartfelt thank you to Linh and Lan for making our stay so enjoyable. One note for future guests: there are several cats on the property, so if you have cat allergies, it’s something to be aware of.

Excellent hotel. Everything is very new and to a very high standard. Every and each area is very clean and tidy, room is very spacious, mine was with mountain and sea view. Much higher standard than average hotel, with lovely music in n the background. Lovely meals, and perhaps most important for beach lovers, some 50 metres from the best and biggest beach on the island, yet all the other things are very near... Would definitely recommend it, and plan to return in few years time.

Overall, the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast setup depends on the number of guests staying at the hotel. Although the photos show a full buffet, during our stay it was a mix of roughly 50/50 à la carte and buffet options, which was still fine. There is a nearby location that plays quite loud music both in the mornings and at night, seemingly every day, so keep this in mind if you’re looking for a very quiet and relaxing place to stay. We stayed in a room with a beautiful mountain view, which we really enjoyed. The shower was spacious which is a bonus. Bed is super soft! We’d consider booking the same room again.

Simple and pretty hotel, problem with wi-fi in a room on the third floor

I liked everything, it was quiet, few guests. But the only thing I was disappointed with was that on the website there is a photo of breakfast and it is a buffet, upon arrival I really saw this place, but in fact there were only 2 types of breakfast soup and omelet 1 cup of coffee and yogurt.
