Nam Phương Riverside Villa

This place is the best option for its price. The rooms are nice, breakfast is tasty with a lot of options. During my stay I've met lots of interesting people there. However, the most precious is the staff. People who work there try to do their best to make you feel good!

There are none. I mean you can find them if you want, but keep in mind the price per night, it is really reasonable

The family who runs this homestay is very kind and helpful The breakfast has many options (eggs or pancakes) and is great Location is about 15/20 min on foot from the center (but grab motorbike is only 15/20k) and 5/10 min from streets with shops and restaurants

Place and rooms are a bit old. Need refurbishing particularly bathrooms and rooftop

I felt really welcomed there. The staff were lovely, the bed was comfortable and we were right by the river. Sunset from the roof terrace.

The wooden chairs were uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time

I regretted staying here, because of the room and the location. I booked the deluxe room because it specified windows with city view. But my room's windows faced a busy and loud balcony where people would sit and talk on the phone. And that balcony's view was completely covered by a large tarp (???). So it was loud, plus I had no view of the outside. I had to either keep the curtains closed or open them and have everyone looking into my room. I asked to move to a different room, and after two nights they moved me to a room with external windows and balcony, but a smaller bed and a broken TV. Bed were comfortable and AC worked fine in both rooms. Included breakfast was nice. But the first two days they got my order wrong, and the last day they completely forgot about my order, I had to chase after them to get the breakfast. Might have just been bad luck. They were very apologetic. Location is further away than it looks on the map. The nearby bridge is under construction, so you have to walk 10 min along the canal to the farther bridge. Unfortunately it rained constantly during my stay, and all the roads to the hotel flood. So to get anywhere I had to walk through the flooded road. There's a few restaurants on that side of the river, but only serving mussels; so if you want non-mussels you need to walk to the city center. Overall, I would not stay again. Staff were very friendly though; spoke English and a little bit of German and French. (Their friendliness is probably why the rating is so high.) If staying in a dorm or you don't care about windows in a private room, it's a good option except for the location.
