S79 Alley House 90 Tran Nhat Duat

The hotel is run by two young guys. Taking a Grab taxi from the airport takes about 40 minutes and costs around 70 RMB. There are also direct buses available during the day. We stayed here for just one night as a transit stop, and the bathroom is quite spacious. The wall sconce in the room can be turned on and off using a glowing button near the television—just rub it a few times with your hand.

Upon entering, we were hit with a strong musty smell. The staff immediately rushed to open the windows, seemingly to prevent us from noticing the odor. Later, we requested a room change and were offered an upgrade to the top floor's best room for an additional 80 RMB. Luckily, we checked it out first. Rooms without air conditioning had all sorts of strange smells. It was clear the hotel was quite old. Since refunds are almost impossible with foreign hotels, we had no choice but to leave early the next morning. If you don't mind heavy humidity and the hotel's unique scent, feel free to give it a try. Some experiences, the more you have them, become a habit.

The hotel is located on a busy street, but because it's tucked away in an alley, it doesn't feel noisy. The room type I originally booked was quite small, so I paid extra to upgrade to a larger room. However, some of the lighting fixtures in the room were damaged, so it wasn't bright enough. Also, if you don't request housekeeping, they won't clean the room or replenish the bottled water.

The hotel's hygiene was terrible. There was no duvet, only a thin sheet, when I went to bed at night. In the morning, the face towel was completely soaked with soapy water (the front desk said it was normal and fine). The room door lock was very difficult to open. The room photos on Ctrip are fake.

This is all false advertising! The pictures displayed on the platform are completely different from the actual room I stayed in. Those photos are stolen from the internet, not a single one is real! Everyone, take a good look – how can a single hotel have rooms with such vastly different styles? It's all a scam!!! When I got to the hotel, the floor was dilapidated, they charged extra for a duvet, there were still hairs on the bed – disgusting! There were hardly any power outlets in the entire room, and there were mold stains everywhere on the walls and the duvet. The bathroom wasn't separated for wet and dry areas, and the room was tiny; I couldn't even open my suitcase. Plus, there were crawling insects on the floor.

It was raining heavily outside, and it was also raining inside the hotel. Everyone please be careful. The overall conditions are just so-so.
