Bona Hostel

Everything was good, except there wasn't a window, tv and fridge didn't work, but otherwise the bed comfortable, the bathroom very good and clean, I had also hair dryer in the room.

Disliked

The tv didn't work, the fridge didn't work, no window on that room

So the only great thing about this hotel is the location, it was on a quiet street, 2min away from the dragon bridge. Perfect close enough to the beach but near the riverside to explore the other side. I loved living near there.

Where do I start, I got lucky when I checked-in that someone was around to give me the keys to my room because I didn’t see any employee of the hotel ever again during my one week stay. Which was problematic because when I got to my room, it had a really really bad cigarette smell (it was awful) and I couldn’t ask to change rooms because no body was ever there. And couldn’t ask to change towels or for more toilette paper (remember I was staying there one week). I know the mattress standard in Vietnam are hard, but this one was made out of wood I think, it was bad. My room also didn’t have a window, which didn’t help the cigarette smell. I usually don’t make a big deal if it’s clean or not, but if I notice how dirty and dusty the room, lobby and staircase is, there is a problem. I know when booking a cheap room you can’t expect too much but the minimum of a hotel room is still so you are able to sleep at night, and I found it hard to do at this hotel.
