I took an overnight bus to Phong Nha arriving at 4:30 am. I was absolutely exhausted and I arrived to the door of Paradise Hotel at 7am after an issue with a place I had originally booked. I was greeted and brought inside where the family of the hotel made me feel so welcome. I mean this when I say, they are the nicest, kindest people I have met on my travels and went above and beyond to make sure I was looked after. They allowed me to check in at 7am, and I paid a very small late check out fee so that I had the room until my overnight bus the following day. The star of the show is the owners daughter Hien. Hien booked a tour for me with only one hours notice, organised my washing, gave me really useful advice, arranged transport (during tet which is not easy) and generally made what had started off as a bad experience in Phong Nha, one of the best I had in Vietnam. The price is incredibly reasonable, the bed was the best I’ve slept in and I left Phong Nha feeling so rested. The location of this hotel is perfect, right in the heart of Phong Nha, a short stroll to the tourist office and on the doorstep of the best restaurants in the area. If you’re in Phong Nha, I cannot recommend here enough.
