After arriving at 4am with a night bus from Ninh binh we could check in so early and sleep the rest of the night for free! (of course we did not get breakfast for that day for free, but that's totally fine!) Free coffee AND tea included in breakfast (as much as you want from 7 to 9am) with fresh milk and not that condensed stuff.. :) Sitting in the common room was like sitting in a perfectly designed café! Very very comfortable! The bathroom and the beds were very clean :) Very friendly staff!

Oli Germany

Lovely room, friendly and helpful staff, great location!

Nicholas United Kingdom

Great location, good happy hour, nice space downstairs for socialising.

Drew United Kingdom

Parking was pretty secure. Food is delicious and affordable, similar'ish prices to rest of Phong Nha. Laundry is available, and breakfast was good. Heard homestays were nice in the area, but I think I'd book this place again!
