Staff are very helpful. We arrived at the hotel at 5am, even though the check in time is 2pm, they allow us to enter the room at 12noon. 😊

Mr. Thai “Tyson”, our tourist guide’s an excellent one! He’s young and he’s going places! His flexibility for unexpected detour’s amazing! I enjoyed everything and got to know other people as well! I also had a smooth booking, thanks to Ms. Nguyen on whatsapp, answering all the doubts I had!
