Travel Tips

Book a river-view room for sunrise views over the Nhật Lệ for a small upgrade fee. Arrange your Phong Nha tours directly through the hotel’s tour desk for better rates and reliable transportation than third-party booking sites. Note that additional towels and laundry services incur a small extra fee, so pack accordingly if you’re traveling on a tight budget. The hotel’s staff speak Vietnamese, so it’s helpful to have a translation app downloaded for smooth communication, and most guided tours include English-speaking guides upon request.
