Melody Riverside Homestay — Hotel in Hue City

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful homestay, and I can confidently say it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the host, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always available to help with anything we needed – from local recommendations to small personal touches that made our stay extra special.

The homestay itself was immaculate. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need – a comfortable bed, clean linens, air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, and even complimentary snacks and drinks. Every corner of the house was thoughtfully arranged, blending modern convenience with a cozy, charming atmosphere.

One of the highlights was definitely the location. It was close enough to the main attractions, restaurants, and shops, yet tucked away in a peaceful area where we could relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. We also appreciated the beautiful garden and outdoor seating area, which made for the perfect spot to enjoy our morning coffee or an evening chat.

Another standout feature was the breakfast – fresh, homemade, and absolutely delicious! Each morning we were treated to a variety of local dishes and fresh fruits, served with care and attention to detail. It truly felt like a personal and authentic experience, much more meaningful than a stay at a hotel.

Overall, this homestay provided not just a place to sleep, but a genuine sense of warmth, hospitality, and care. It’s clear that the hosts take great pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and heartwarming stay. I’ll definitely be coming back – thank you for making our trip...

Phong is such a great guy who is happy to help with anything. His energy was contagious and he was always excited about what you were doing. He even called the Grab driver to come pick us up from our door (rather than the meeting point that grab makes you set), helped organise bikes for us, ensure we knew the right rate for a Xich Lo, advised us on booking trains etc all very very warmly.

We got the back room without windows though, which was dark and damp and a bit mouldy, also lots of noise from the street because the corridor that the bedroom is connecting onto opens out onto a small balcony with thin glass doors that never close. We extended another night regardless because it's not that bad and definitely good value for money.

The location was great if you like being in the city. We were there Friday and Saturday night, and the Friday was the massive Mid-Autumn festival (hence the noise) and the street was thriving. It gets closed off and becomes a walking only street full of pubs/restaurants/massage parlours etc and very easy to walk/xich lo to whenever...

Hue melody hostel is comfortable and welcoming with a very homely atmosphere, beer is cheap and care is taken With every little detail. But much like every other review on here all of this is absolutely nothing compared to the masterful hospitality of Mr Phong. Don’t bother booking anything before travelling to hue because mr Phong is connected!! Need a bus, Mr Phong, laundry Phong, food, bike hire, emergency bag delivery to the airport after your shuttle bus breaks down leaving you stranded and late from your flight? PHONG, after giving me his contact details while I left to travel to Hoi an, mr Phong was there every step of the way with quality advice and a smile and a laugh in any situation… I wasn’t even staying at his hostel and he was helping me, this is a man (and his lovely family) who will go to the end of the earth to show you what Vietnamese hospitality and happiness is really about. Don’t book anywhere else, the beds are big and the en-suites are clean and all this for a ground floor price, hue melody...
