Best Hotels in Phong Son

This is my third stay at Alba Wellness resort in Hue and I must say my love for this retreat paradise remains unchanged . Alba really has a great team with a full service mindset . I particularly admire the professionalism of Ms Dien , Sales Manager and Mr Myoman , in charge of Spa and Wellness . He even conducted the healing bowl for us which was so relaxing and distressing . Alba rooms are nicely designed with beautiful view to the green garden , and the bungalows are just superb that everyone should stay at least once in the lifetime . The most well-know factor of Alba is the Onsen with Thanh Tan hot spring . We enjoyed this wellness bath , followed by a soothing Bamboo on the Rock spa treatment . The whole body feels refreshed with energy after one Onsen plus spa session . I will definitely be back to this wonderful wellness retreat . Love the beautiful place , the helpful team , the natural landscape , atmosphere , the food ... everything you need for a hide-away from busy , noisy and tiring city life .

This hotel is the best hotel I've ever stayed in. The building itself is beautiful, the interior is stunning and the staff so helpful and friendly. Beautiful artwork on the walls, huge high ceilings with chandeliers, all furnished with beautiful taste. We were upgraded to a suite, which was wonderful. The whole experience from start to finish is first class. Literally a few minutes walk from the train station, the hotel is a minute's walk from river where you can walk through a park alongside the river to walk into town.

We came here with our 2 kids, also based on previous good reviews. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with reality. The road to get here is already, let's say, adventurous, but ok, we knew it isn't at the city centre (our taxi driver asked us to tip him more because the road is so bad and he needs a lot of time to get back... From the centre of Hue it's about 30 minutes, and around 150K Dong/6€/6$). The buildings look nice enough and newish, but the grounds look unfinished, with a lot of stuff lying around, mostly dead organic material and fallen fruit. It comes across like someone had started tending to things, but stopped half way through. The people are friendly, we've experienced nothing else in Vietnam, but there's a bit of professionalism missing all across. The room itself was nicely styled and clean, the bed (very) hard, and we found no safe. We've only had breakfast here, no buffet as there weren't enough guests apparently, which was definitely not the best we've had during our trip around Vietnam. Overall we wouldn't come here again, but would probably take a hotel located more centrally, especially for a short stay, as from here, you'll not be able to experience Hue that easily.

Superb! This is a cosy, peaceful and romantic hotel nested in a colonial style art deco villa. The rooms, bathrooms and furniture are finished to high specs and very comfortable. I treated myself to a superior double with balcony and was upgraded to a suite. For a change their pictures are true to reality! The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Anna the day receptionist arranged a driver with a comfortable car to take me around the 6 emperor mausoleums and my limo transfer door to door to Danang for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Hotel was a bit on the old side but the room was spacious and clean, and the front desk ladies very helpful. View is amazing, especially with windows making up the entire wall of the room! Extremely convenient to get to Hue Station, just a 10 minute walk.

Unfortunately this hotel was a bit of a disappointment in most areas. It’s a beautiful setting by the river but the location isn’t ideal, being at least 5km away from places of interest. This made ordering Grab taxis difficult as they’d never come out to collect us this far away from the centre of Hue. The room itself wasn’t as clean as we’d have liked and there was always a number of creepy crawlies in the room with us. (To be fair they did warn us about this) The hotel did have a beautiful swimming pool although this was unfortunately closed for two of the three days that we stayed here for. Lastly the cost for staying here is a little cheeky. We’ve been in Vietnam now for almost 4 months and in that time we’ve stayed at many different hotels. This has probably been the worst one, yet it was the one that cost us the most money per night. All of the others have been nicer hotels offering so much more. I’d like to end with some positives. Firstly we couldn’t fault the customer service, all of the staff have been super friendly to us. Also, the breakfast was very tasty here, giving us a good start for each day we stayed. Looking for a quiet peaceful time? Then this hotel will work fine for you. However, if you’re planning on doing some sight seeing and socialising, pick somewhere closer to the centre.

Spatel d’Annam Boutique Hotel What a lovely hotel for us to enjoy at the end of our trip to Vietnam. We selected this hotel for its reviews which were so positive as well as for its fantastic position, close to the Royal Imperial Palace. Our room had a mezzanine with the bed upstairs and the bathroom and sitting area downstairs. We have been so fortunate during our travels to meet the staff who make the accommodation so pleasurable. We had the most wonderful welcome from Tu Trinh on our arrival. She explained clearly all our options for our stay and provided a very helpful map to get to and from the night markets, some of the historic monuments and the city centre. Arriving on New Year’s Eve we shared a special set menu dinner. It was a very happy affair where we met other guests and had a chat with the manager of the hotel, Dang Nhan and Ms Ly who so kindly guided my wife through the options for a coeliac. We enjoyed our stay. They took care to provide gluten free options each morning at breakfast, and my wife enjoyed a relaxing massage at the spa. On our departure we were farewelled as life long friends. These wonderful people who took such beautiful care of us during our stay will stay in our memories for ever. We will certainly return to once again enjoy the hospitality and kindness of all at the Spatel d’Annam.

I would like to share my positive experience organizing my trip with Anna from Soleil Hotel in Hue. Hotel was great from all Perspektive location/price/breakfast. I have special wishes and complex travel plan, in 1.5 days I want see a lot and can not get good support unless I find this team. Anna organized pickup, managed all my journey including laundry, early hosting and take care of me during traveling. In additional she organized Scooter. This is just excellent. Highly recommend! Thanks a lot Anna and Hotel Team, great job and customer support!

Lovely open architect-designed home with large Zen like bedrooms. Set in a lane15 minutes out of Hué amongst banana trees and local houses with chickens in the garden. All very real, very safe, very Vietnamese and lovely. We were looked after perfectly. We took a taxi to Hué every evening to eat. I recommend this place. Vg value

Best location in Hue, well educated, English-speaking staff, if the reception is crowded with French customers, the reception ends while drinking tea on the waiting sofa, Receive the key and guide to the room. The rooms are clean and quiet from the veranda overlooking the Perfume River over the palm trees. Take a break with welcome lychee and nuts. The restaurant is the best hospitality and food, certainly expensive from the average of Hue, but it is an order according to the hall staff chief and the advice. The food is good and the wine is good. I had the best hospitality to my wife. After returning to the room, you can spend a relaxing cocktail time on the veranda, looking at the royal palace and flag lit up over the Perfume River, and spending time without saying anything until your rest. It was the best hotel for the elderly.
