Travel Tips

Lucky 190’s staff speak Vietnamese, so having a translation app downloaded before arrival will help smooth communication for international visitors. Book your room in advance during peak dry season (November to March), when tourism to the Mekong Delta is at its busiest. Take advantage of the hotel’s free bicycle rental to explore local street food stalls within easy cycling distance; try the regional specialty *hu tieu Chau Doc* (a sweet-savory noodle soup) from a street vendor just five minutes from the hotel. If you plan to day trip to the Cambodian border, the hotel can help arrange a visa run or tour through their concierge service.
