The rooms are dated, not very clean, and small. Depending on what level you are on you can hear the traffic outside. Walls are also paper thin so you can hear loud guests next door. The staff does try their best to accommodate however. Location is great, right next to the beach and close to many restaurants and eateries. All in all, I would not return for a future stay here.
Halina Hotel was beautiful, wonderful pool and deck. Kind staff went above and beyond during our stay. Parking was extremely safe and convenient for our bikes. Very walkable area, close to the beach, quick ride to the airport. Highly recommend and I would stay again.
The hotel offers a value for money stay. The surrounding area are filled with restaurants and shops. Just look out for vendors like the fruit stall on the right of the hotel (looking at the hotel) in front of a produce store. She tried selling me a comb of bananas for VND300,000. The area is very Korean with restaurants and supermarkets selling Korean food and goods.
The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Daisy who works at the restaurant and front lobby is exceptionally helpful so is My who looks after the rooftop bar, pool and gym. We had the pleasure of being served by an Intern called Bubby, a very bright young lady who is very customer oriented, she remembered the coffee and style of the coffee I drank and she remembered it from day one when she served me. She also ensured that I visited the Dragon bridge at the correct time to see the display.
When I was staying at the hotel they offer Tea with cakes, really delicious.
The down side of the hotel is that you need to walk up steps to the lobby and as most Viet hotels there are no railings for support and there is no lift to get up to the reception from the street level. Like wise you are required to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the rooftop. Watch your steps getting to the top or coming down as the steps are dark in color and can be slippery. Another issue they should rectify is that there is only one tiny lift. You need a little patience sometimes especially when it is check in time.
The beds are nice.
