Victoria Can Tho Hotel

A very nice hotel, outside the city, right on the water. The hotel has it's own peer and you can start your Mekong boat tour straight from the hotel peer.

There is a shuttle boat that goes to the city center.

The hotel is built around a nice pool, a great way to relax after a sweaty day at the delta.

The room are large and nice.

There is a restaurant beside the pool, where you can sit inside, buy the glass window, or outside closer to the pool. The restaurant was not very busy, and we only had some drinks and a lotus salad there.

The hotel is one of the more expensive ones in Can Tho but its a nice place to spend the night if you can afford it

A great hotel in the middle of nowhere!! We stayed here with our 4 teenagers for just one night, but had a good time. Low season when we were there so only 11 rooms occupied. Food was excellent and service also. Staff very friendly.

Perfect hotel, a little bit demotivated staff (especially at the bar, donīt be thursty!), but beautiful location! Because there is much traffic on the river in the front, donīt take the more expensive riverside rooms, take a garden view, they are all offering view to the river!!

This hotel has a good pool area and my massage was wonderful (and booked at the last minute), but I found this hotel to be overall disappointing. The food was so-so, much inferior to all the other food we'd had on our trip. The Mekong is HOT, HUMID and BUGGY. I cannot emphasize these things enough. Therefore, the hotel has all of the mildew, bug, sticky doors, moldy air-conditioner etc problems. When we checked into our "garden view" we found we had a view of the roof of the first floor and the plumbing and a/c vents from first floor rooms. We asked to be changed. The hotel was not full at all, but they still tried to charge us. My husband spent some time on the issue and they moved us to another "garden view" room which overlooked some scraggly trees and and the employee parking lot. I doubt there is anything nicer in the Mekong, but I found the Victoria Hotel in Can Tho to be a let down (especially after reading great reviews and spending so much time getting there).

This was a wonderful hotel and one of our favorites while visiting Vietnam. They provide a free shuttle bus or boat ride to town from the hotel. Next time I would not waste the time to go to town as there was nothing there to see. The resort is nice with a pool and a nice restaurant. A nice place to relax after a full day of touring the area.

Stayed here one night in November and, although we arrived late following a flight delay, the staff could not have been more helpful and provided a suite to make our mere 8 hours there even more enjoyable.

Had breakfast on the hotel's junk on the Mekong river which was simply superb. To watch the river start to come to life in the early morning whilst enjoying a first class breakfast with only 3 other passengers was a truly memorable experience.

After our experience at the Hoi An resort, we lowered our expectations for this hotel.

However, we were pleasantly suprised. Due to a large group of schoolchildren staying there the same night as us, we got upgraded to a suite. Wow! What a room. The bathroom was the size of some of the other hotel rooms...fabulous shower cubicle, separate bath, his and hers basins. The aircon could be separately adjusted in the bedroom area and the living area. Earplugs were provided - due to the river raffic noise.

We had to eat outside because the kids took up the airconditioned part of the resturant. Food was good, but spent most of the meal being paranoid about mozzies. Breakfast was disappointing though.

Pool is small, but other wise OK.

Tours to the Floating market can start from here, as the hotel has its own jetty. Go early as by 09:00 the market is packing up....

Discreet but excellent service in a hotel of the old style. Deluxe rooms fine as was the location outside town - but the sound of the river trafic never stops. A truly relaxing hotel that never quite seems full.

I visit CanTho about every 1 1/2 years. I travel with a friend who has family there.

The Victoria Hotel is a beautiful hotel. However, I spend 30 to 45 days at a time in CanTho. My favorite is the 4 star Golf Hotel at half the price with larger rooms, $7.00 private massage, very friendly staff, good food and located perfectly for a superior experience of the area.

The Chau Ngoc Hotel not far from the water front is a more basic alternative for only $10.00 per night. The owner speaks English and is very helpful. The rooms are new, clean and air conditioned. This hotel is located across the street from the colleges.

I LOVED THE VICTORIA HOTEL IN CAN THO!!! The hotel is amazing for Can Tho. Visited Can Tho May 20 - 24.

FRONT DESK:First, you got greeted with warm towels and papaya juice which is wonderful after a long trip. Nearest airport is in Ho Chi Minh so the drive is approx 5 hours. Check in is great, the front desk is so courteous and they also speak English very well.

ROOMS: The rooms are small, but very very comfortable. They have Vietnamese exotic fruits out for you to taste.

POOL/PROPERTY: Not grand but very clean and great to dive into after a hot day of touring the city. Great lounge chairs too. After swimming, you can go under the large trees for shades and either enjoy the peaceful river or read. The grounds of the hotel was always so clean, and all the staff is so wonderful.

RESTAURANT: Good food Westerner, okay Vietnamese dishes, but when in Vietnam I really would recommend trying the different restaurants off the property. Better Vietnamese food of course.

ACTIVITES: The massages are great, only $30 (everything is charge in USD) for a 90 minute massage. It was very different because it was in these tents outside, so you can hear the activiteis of the river. Only thing annoying is that there is a restaurant outdoors and you hear everyone talking or sometimws yelling. Great time is in the evening when it is cooler out. There is also a morning breakfast tour on their boat, which includes a tour guide. Our tour guide is a locate college student, very helpful and informative. The breakfast buffet was average. There also different tours, but we decided to take it independently. The hotel would usually cost $28+ per person and independently it would have been $15+ total.

CAN THO: The city itself doesn't have much to offer. Some of the tours down the Mekong are interesting.

WARNING: The hotel is on the outskirts of the city, so it is completely different. It is also very quiet and dead after 8pm. Actually, when we were there last, there were maybe 20 other guests. When stepping into the grounds of Victoria, you are stepping into another world from Can Tho. It doesn't represent the city well. Also, everything is so expensive compare to the rest of Can Tho.

After visiting Victoria Can Tho, I would definitely visit the other hotels that the chain has around Vietnam.
