Hue Small Hotels - Reviews and Rates

So where did I leave you? On the hunt for red wine and bubble bath I think. I was successful and spent the night alone, in my room, drinking. Which was fun & resulted in two awful films, although how Anthony Hopkins can make a good appearance in a film about selling your soul to the devil still amazes me, clever man!

I woke up in seri...

So we are indeed in Hué, after getting the night bus from Hanoi, the bus stopped at one point for a tyre change. Very odd. By the time we got here it was raining and about 8am. We ran around like madmen, with two other girls who are headed Laos-wards, (one of them was in our year at Leeds doing pharmacology, small world) and ended up at the firs...

We flew into Hue yesterday to teeming rain and it's still a downpour this afternoon. As a result we cannot bike today. The hotel we're staying at is known for its spa but it's completely booked. So things are a bit slow right now. But we are seeing some very interesting things. Yesterday, we biked through the rain to an orphanage run by Buddhist...

Slight change of plans - we spent an extra night in Hanoi because Joanna has had a bad dose of diahorrea (now OK) so it was going to be a bit dicey flying to Hue. But the next day we did fly to Hue (1hr) and spent an enjoyable afternoon visiting the tomb of Tu Duc, a pagoda and the Imperial Enclosure in the Citadel. As it was raining off and on,...

We awoke this morning on the bus at about 6.00 when we stopped for breakfast. Actually I don't think any of us go off the bus to eat! There was only foreigners on the bus, and we pretty much all preferred to sleep instead. We arrived in Hue at about 9am, the bus was an hour late but I think we all would have preferred to be late than have the dr...

We boarded the bed bus to head to Hoi An. We were told we would be in Hue in 10hours and then 6 hours on to Hoi An. But it took 14 hours on the smallest beds in the world and your feet fit into a little cubby hole. It wasn't nice. Then we found out we had a psycho driver who over took any thing no matter what was coming towards him. Couple of cl...

Xing Chao! in Hue at the moment, very interesting city with its own version of the Beijing Forbidden City, where the Emperors used to go on with their frolics....... In our last night in Hoi An, after dinner in a tiny restaurant full of character by the river, we went out for some beverages...... found a place with good music and a pool table......

Having Finally left Hanoi after some initial troubles with a cancelled train. We took the reunification express south to Hue. There wasn't long to look around and so we organise a tour of the perfume river, which took us on a dragon boat to various attractions. The crew on the boat were a family that cooked us a wonderful meal which we ate on th...

Hey y'all, Well, just wanted to leave a quick message to tell you what we've been up to this last week. After a rather manic day in Hanoi we met back up with Tony (yay!) and the three of us decided to go trekking in a place in northern Vietnam called Sapa. So we boarded another overnight train and arrived early the next morning. We were given a ...

I've already spent a considerable amount of space *****ing about Eurotrash on this trip. But really, this has a lot to do with the fact that I've been pleasantly surprised by the Americans who I've met, who tend to be much more congenial and have a better come-what-may attitude about travel. The Ugly American seems to be getting replaced by the ...
