Dong Duong Hotel & Suites - City Central - Afternoon Tea Inclusive

This place was a museum. It was absolutely awesome with all the antiques and instruments and vehicles in the lobby. Just amazing.. The staff was exceptional when they made me very comfortable and took care of any needs that I had immediately.

I wish the hotel would use mattresses instead of a boxspring with a pad. I slept OK, but that one little detail would’ve made all the difference in the world in comfort.

The historical display in the lobby which also serves as the breakfast area is quite impressive, unusual, and interesting. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and we would especially like to mention Mina at the reception and Alex the bellboy. The hotel is located in the city center within walking distance of the Dragon Bridge, with plenty of cafes, massage salons, pharmacies, and supermarkets nearby. The room on the 7th floor had a city view of the buildings and featured two beds, a tea table with chairs, a computer desk with a chair, and a TV. Daily cleaning was provided along with coffee, tea, and 2 bottles of water.

The hotel is old and clearly has not had a major renovation in a long time. The first room we checked into had a strong smell of mold, with mold present on the walls and near the AC vents. There was also white mold fungus on the ceiling, likely due to a leak from above or the air conditioner, and the window looked out onto the building's roof. After we complained, the reception resolved the issue quickly and upgraded us to a more spacious room on the top floor with a balcony. There was no smell there, but even in that room, there was mold on the wall shared with the bathroom. The breakfast is included and runs from 6:30 to 9:00, but the selection is limited and mainly catered to Asian guests. Sometimes the bread was stale and moldy, and the fruits/vegetables tasted old, as if left over from the previous day. Overall, the hotel relies heavily on its antique interior, and in my opinion, the high rating is overrated for the price they charge.

Close to prime locations

Soundproofing is inadequate. You can hear noise from the next room and people walking in and out of the elevator. Two ladies at the concierge are unfriendly; they can't even smile or greet you, and when you ask questions, they pretend they don't hear anything. We stayed for 7 days, and the breakfast was always the same. It's a too-expensive hotel, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you like vintage collections, which you can see on the ground floor.
