Pearl Central Hotel- Near Nguyen Hue Street Reviews

Pros: -The rooms are very generous sizes, even compared to our of city rooms -The rooms are relatively modern and have comfortable chairs and a desk chair, plenty of seating options -The room with a river view has a decent view of the river (partial though) -the rooms were clean -the people working at the hotel were polite and friendly. -the shower head had excellent pressure Cons: On check in I was advised my room did not have a window and was kindly upgraded for free to one with a window that looked onto two other walls and a section that was predominantly boarded up. Given the layout of the building, I estimate at least a third of the rooms are like this. While I appreciated this kindness, outside the window was mostly dark, and had have I been informed from the start (as other hotels in the area do) I would have chosen somewhere with an actual window. I ended up moving to a room with a window that looked outside at an extra cost (500k VND more for the night). I feel this lacked transparency and that I was a little duped into the situation by those managing the advertisement. Asia rugby centre point is 3 properties down, similar pricing and much more transparent about window options. From the outside it looked a little better. The furniture was cheap and although I am just one person and not large I was surprised at how much the bed moved when I got on/off it. The TV did not always register channel changes with the remote or buttons on the TV, but would allow them to be entered manually on the remote (i.e. inputting the numbers rather than up/down).
