Thanh Binh Riverside Hotel

A good hotel. Spacious rooms, modern facilities and bathroom. Good location near to markets. Good breakfast. The warm pool was an added bonus. Clean, but maybe slightly deeper cleaning needed in some areas.

Honestly speaking, I was a little disappointed with the hotel. It looks to me like a 3 star hotel instead. The room was spacious, but that was probably the only good thing about it. The other equipments in the room felt like it was used way past their intended usage, especially the bathtub. Some of the bathroom fixtures were almost falling off. The hotel is not entirely air conditioned, which was a little letdown and the lift was always creaking. The breakfast buffet was average, not fantastic but sufficient. I wouldn’t recommend unless you are on a tight budget.

This was a mixed bag; on the one hand the location is great, on the other.. too close to the night market and as anyone knows, at night, sadly Hoi A becomes Bali 2.0, or Majorca 2.0 for the Europeans. This is not a good thing, wirh music pounding into the wee hours of the morning and, yes the annoying megaphone blasting banh bao on loop. The staff at the desk werent too friendly, though the bell staff and cleaning staff were. This was consistent across the 4 seats stayed, so it wasn’t just “one” staff member. Pool temp was good and clean, gym though was a little uncomfortable, too hot and not AC. My recommendation is to hire the bike they offer, 50k per bike per day and ride out to the beach, away from the tourists and away from the noise. I am Aussie, with viet heritage and have visited Hoi An on multiple occasions, and can say the city has changed so much that I won’t be visiting again. Too loud, too many tourists who are part of the Instagram hype train and expensive. Hotel also had a karaoke / gala event right out the front of our hotel room that boasted music and bad singing until 11pm. No one told me this was happening or give us a heads up when checking in. By international standards, this is totally unacceptable and I really should have asked for my money back. Imagine going on holiday, looking for a relaxing getaway, only to have the hotel staff put on a gala night outdoors and blast bad karaoke through the speakers until nearly midnight. Would you be ok with that? I don’t think so. Let’s not even talk about their termite problem in the rooms
