Vy Da Hotels with Balcony

It was not easy to find this place and not in the main area but it was easy to get a taxi (20k to 30k dong) to bring you to restos and shops and back. The river beside it is serene in peaceful. The room was tastefully done and shampoo and bath gel smelled really good . Staff was exceptionally pleasant, efficient, friendly and speak good english. Breakfast is ordered the night before..very practical and quite good too We booked our dragon boat tour to pagoda and citadel plus our private car to Hoi An. Our driver Jack was good driver and speaks english too. The parting gift ( small bottle of cajaput oil) is such a nice touch. By the way, this cajaput oil is sold in Hue and very helpful essential oil. The problem is..this is sold everywhere but since most dont speak english, you are not told that you can not bring it on board the plane..carry on and checked in luggage. We bought quite a lot and customs were quite strict about it. We had no choice but to take them all out since cajaput is highly flammable.

This hotel is beyond charming. So much attention to every little detail which all added up to the most wonderful hotel stay I've had in Vietnam. Before reaching Purple Hue, I'd been traveling from Saigon to Hanoi, further north and now back South. I've stayed at all different types of hotels, most of which I'm really happy about until I reach Purple Hue Charming Riverside Hotel, which to me is the best of what hospitality could mean. Upon booking, I thought, what a difficult name for a hotel? After a week's stay, I appreciate the truth in advertisement and there's no better way to describe it. It definitely charmed me and stole my heart in the process. First, the room is immaculately clean. Literally spotless. The furnishing is simple but so elegant. All features in the room work and are well positioned and designed. TV has lots of good English channels as well as VN, French, Korean and Russian channels. Laundry came back fast, cleaned and beautifully folded in the eco-friendly and beautiful bag provided. The room even came with 2 purple umbrellas, which was a life saver as I was there during the monsoon season. Bathroom comes with high quality toiletry, including this toothpaste that I considered stealing because it was so good. Bathroom also comes with a squidgy to clear water after shower as I do not like to step onto a wet floor. It even has a curtain to separate shower from the toilet, a feature most appreciated by me and I couldn't help but wonder why no other hotels do this?! Because they are NOT Purple Hue Charming Riverside Hotel. And the staff. This is where the hotel's magic is. I was always greeted by the most beautiful smiles and kindest of hearts. Always there to help, to share in my excitement from meandering around this gorgeous city, to give me tips to the best food (the first recommendation Uyen gave me ended up being my breakfast place everyday I was there), best places to go, etc. One night, there was a sound of an alarm of some type. I called Uyen, who was actually off duty. Before I could hang up the phone, the front desk staff is already at my door (I was on the 4th floor) to assure me that it was a false alarm. Within 45 more seconds, silence returned. This kind of service is simply amazing. And sitting on my balcony watching the sun rise over the city or set over the Perfume River, that's pure poetry that I do not have words to describe. Now that I am sitting on the beach in Hoi An, my heart and mind wander back to Purple Hue Charming Hotel. I HIGHLY recommend it. You'll have an experience that you will want to remember fondly for the rest of your life.

Lam and My are a wonderful couple running their friendly family Homestay. If you want a typical western hotel this is not for you …. but for charm and care of their guests it cannot be beaten. My cooks the breakfast and the choice and quality is superb. Our room was open, clean, with comfortable beds and quality bedding. There is good strong wi-fi, air conditioning if needed and fridge. Lovely to sit out on the balcony and have a few beers. Nothing is too much trouble. We took up Lam’s offer to drive us to see some of the best parts of Hue - well thought out itineraries to fit our interests and level of fitness. We would like to thank Lam, My and their two boys for welcoming us into their family. Would not hesitate to recommend.
