Why does it always rain on me....
Feb 29, 2008 (23 photos)

Got up yesterday morning to more rain and cold, but we had got our clothes back from the laundry so I had nice clean long trousers to put on to go and see the Citadel in Hue which is a wrold heritage site. Now I am wondering why I didn't just put on the mucky old trousers from yesterday because we got destroyed again... Off we went, the girls in...

Ants in our pants....
Feb 26, 2008 (12 photos)

After we escaped from the night train this morning, a nice man from our hotel collected us and brought us straight there so we were able to bypass the crowds of people outside shouting "i get you good hotel" etc. It was the first time I used my bag as a backpack on my back (I thought it would be easier to avoid people "helping" me to carry it) a...

Hue

Hue 7,8,9 January 2008. Orchid Hotel. Well, tripadvisor had this hotel as the number one in Hue and it was spot on. Great value for money. No advertised stars and the rooms and service were 4*. I guess it will never make a 4* rating, as it has no gym, spa, sauna, or 24 hour restaurant, but it was perfect. We arrived fairly early as we had caught...

Hue Good Lookin' - Whatcha got Cookin' ?

Upon arriving at Hue we were both prepared to not like the place, our only experience in Vietnam cities had so far been with Hanoi, where we either missed the entire point or it just is a bit disagreeable. Our original estimation of Hue didn't differ too far from Hanoi as the taxi driver we got from the airport spent the entirety of our journey...

Rain, rain and more rain
Dec 3, 2006 (10 photos)

From Hanoi we took an overnight sleeper train south to Hue. We were lucky enough to have the whole compartment of four bunk beds to ourselves and were quite surprised at how comfy it was. We had booked our hotel in Hue on the net and were shocked when we arrived at what luxury a small amount of money can get you in Vietnam. Our room was like the...

Going underground again. And bye bye parents.

Well, the folks have abandonned me so it's back to solo travelling for a while and back to the proper budget. We had a great time and I'm really pleased they came over. We had 3 days in Hoi An, which is a shopper's dream. Now, I'm not a big shopper as in trawling up and down the high street, but tailor shops are a different story. I DO like sitt...

5* Service & Accomodation

from canbermuda on 2007-01-07
Where to begin! The staff and service is at a 5* level. They picked us up at the bus station, had welcomed drinks in the reception and carried our bags to our rooms - wow such unexpected and unncessary service for just $30USD a night.

The room came with a DVD player, hair dryer, nice duvet and you could borrow as many DVD's as you wanted for free. The free internet was also very much appreciated.

The staff and manager were extremely friendly and helpful - they got us (2) scooters for our entire stay - fantastic.

Fantastic Hotel

from JLBB on 2007-01-04
We stayed at the Orchid Hotel for 2 nights in January 2007. This is a fantastic hotel and I would recommend it for anyone who is staying in Hue. The location is really good, the breakfast was excellent and the staff were really helpful. The rooms are really nice and are spotless.

We were extremely happy with this hotel - it was much much better than other hotels that we have stayed in for around the same price.

Ci č piaciuto molto

from BrisvegasKid on 2007-01-01
Č stato un albergo favoloso. Il servizio offerto dal personale č stato da cinque stelle. Le camere sono ampie, ben arredate e molto, molto pulite. La colazione compresa č un buffet semplice. Il collegamento a internet č gratuito e relativamente veloce. Ottima posizione rispetto ai ristoranti. Consigliamo soprattutto il Club Garden girato l'angolo - chiedete informazioni al personale dell'albergo. Ci č dispiaciuto non rimanere piů a lungo.

Loved this Hotel

from BrisvegasKid on 2007-01-01
This was a fabulous hotel. We had five star service from the staff. The rooms are spacious, beautifully appointed and very very clean. The breakfast included is a simple buffet. Free and relatively fast internet service.

Great location to restaurants. We especially recommend the Club Garden restaurant around the corner - ask the hotel staff. We were sorry we weren't staying longer.

A Gem of a Place

from LiveaLifeUk on 2006-12-19
I agree with all the glowing comments on this great hotel.

In addition to the very good facilities, Chi plays a big part in making this place such a success. She seems to be the 'second in command'. We met the manager for a few minutes and gained the impression that he too had a good eye for detail. They both make a very good team and this is, perhaps, the secret of the success of this place.

We arrived at about 8 a.m. on the Hanoi to Hue 6.30 flight. We were told that our room would not be available until late morning and Chi suggested that we take the full day City Tour by mini bus and boat leaving at about 9 a.m. She booked this, put our bags in safe storage and gave us a complimentary breakfast.

Best Budget hotel.........

from gregorylives on 2006-12-14
Unfortunately one of their rooms had a plumbing problem and we stayed in another local hotel until the problem was rectified and that is where the problems finished.

The difference was phenomenal when we stayed their on the 2nd night. The service, decor and nice little touches make this hotel standout above all the other budget mid range hotels. The CD and DVD library are one of those nice touches at this level of hotel.

This is not your Hilton and nor does it pretend to be. It is however a very clean, well kept and well serviced hotel.

Highly recommended.

Great place to stay: excellent

from Smartie1971 on 2006-11-13
This hotel is superb. The friendly staff is always there to help and advice you. The room we had was very clean and luxureous. It serves a very nice breakfast buffet with all different kind of things (Vietnam food, western food, fruit). You can borrow free DVD-movies at the reception desk and watch them in your room.

We can recommend this hotel to anyone. You don't have to have any doubt whether this is a good place or not: this is a very good place to stay in Hue.

Fabulous experience

from Honeymoon_in_Nam on 2006-10-31
We had 2 nights in Hue, after traveling a long time on an overnight train. We were blown away by the excellent and personal service. For the 3 star price, we received 5 star treatment from start to finish. Personable and friendly staff top an already fantastic experience. We would easily, happily, and readily recommend a stay at this hotel.

Just the luxury we needed

from miss_flashpacker on 2006-10-12
We had two nights in Hue within our month travelling around Vietnam. A friend we made on our travels had recommended this hotel and we are so glad we took their advice and cancelled the reservations we had at another establishment and rocked up to the Orchid.

Chi and all the staff were fantastic. The bedroom was luxury for two backpackers and the cost included a great breakfast and the total cost all fit in our budget.

We didn't find Hue as interesting as we thought we would however, The Orchid Hotel is a fantastic place to rest your head & body and base yourself to do a day trip up to the DMZ.

Thanks again and we will be recommending this hotel to all our Aussie friends who are travelling to Vietnam in the near future.

Me senti como en casa...o mejor!!!

from RosaCabanillas on 2006-09-30
Me llamo Rosa. Acabo de llegar de Vietnam, maravilloso, y desde luego el hotel Orchid...GENIAL!! No solo su equipo que son encantadores y te hacen sentir como en casa, sino todo lo demas: las instalaciones, el desayuno, etc...TODO!!

Además, nos facilitaron todo al máximo, nos dejamos en otro hotel de Hanoi un montón de ropa y el personal de Ochid se encargó de que a los 2 dias toda nuestra ropa (que dabamos por perdida), llegara a nuestras manos. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TODO.
