“Good, Clean Fun!”

This hotel has a slightly odd setup, in that it exists at two addresses on differing street names. It reality they are 5 doors apart from each other, and as long as you can find the old town you should be able to get to them, despite the many impostors with the same name, but no Green Sign!

The Staff are very friendly and will provide you with information on what's around old town and further out, they also have a decent map of the old town, which is necessary, since it's a maze of interconnected alleys in parts.

The rooms are small, but big enough to house twins or a queen sized double, all furnishings are clean and comfortable and there is a fridge, TV, a/c and a fan. The wash room is standard in that the shower hangs almost over the sink on one side and toilet on the other - but again everything is clean and running hot water is the norm.

Stepping out of the hotel if you walk in one direction you will hit the Cathedral tethered to the South of old town, in the other you can head towards Ho Chi Minh's Memorial, museum and the one pillar pagoda - all about 15 - 20 mins walk away (5 by Om Xe).

They will also take care of your luggage should decided to take a two day trip to somewhere like Halom bay

We had a great time staying here - I'm sure you will too!

Mo-ped Madness!

A travel blog entry by chloe_smale

Dan has had to go home with mo-ped injuries-cuts to the bone on his foot and knee! But Erik has assurred us he will be coming back out to meet up in a couple of weeks, once it's healed.
So the 3 of us continued on, getting a minibus into town from the airport. We navigated our way through the Hanoi streets, literally streaming with motorbikes, …

Getting the Jet "Star Treatment"

Chris and I woke up early with plans to
take a taxi to the airport around 8am. After the fiasco with the last
taxi, we took extra precautions. No doubt the driver, who turned out
to be very honest, thought we were nuts. As we approached the cab,
Chris took a photo of the license plate and the driver in the
background, just in …

Surely if the passengers on the bus include 2 goats, 2 birds and 2 hens plus half of your living rooms furniture sits next to you, you know this is not the VIP bus you actually paid for. Instead of air con and sleeping chair you get dusty air bursting into your face and a first row seat on the roller coaster. 28 hours later I was certain - I'll …
