A beautiful, old style hotel, reminiscent of French colonial days, with large clean, airy rooms and delightful, helpful staff. Free set breakfast, value around $3.50 per person which includes coffe, tea, juice and a choice of items such as muesli or porridge with fresh fruit to bacon/eggs/tomatoes to noodles. Originally we'd planned to stay only 2 nights, but due to Chinese New Year we couldn't get our Vietnam visas, so ended up staying 9 nights. The hotel allows 5 items of free laundry per person per day, which was really useful, as was having an electric kettle in the room along with a fridge. Room 305 had been modernized with a good size shower with rain head.
