La Paloma Nha Trang — Hotel in Nha Trang City

After reading reviews and seeing photos off this hotel I expected to have a very different experience to what was portrayed. It made me realise one should be careful about the authenticity of reviews. Given I was offered an incentive to write a glowing review... hence I decided it’s only fair to give the true experience so others can make a decision based upon fact ||It is a very quaint boutique hotel with nice rooms... and garden but that’s where it stops!||. When I arrived I was shocked at the bad area it was in. A long way from the beach. Motorcycles blocking the doorway so you could barely get in. I was asked to “hand over my passport” which they would “keep” for the duration of my stay... which is actually against international law to demand such a thing. It was extremely uncomfortable ||Then They said they wanted me to pay up front, but when I gave them my credit card, they said their credit card machine was not working, and wanted me to give him my credit card to go somewhere else to put the payment through. ||I felt even more uncomfortable with all of this! ||In the morning he insisted they march me over to the bank to draw the cash out which cost me more, the room I was given had no proper window and no tv. They said they would bring me a tv in five minutes but it never arrived ||Nor did the milk I requested ||You are expected to take your shoes off before you go in but I have a back issue and can’t unless I sit down.. an inappropriate expectation as we are international travellers ||The next morning there was no milk or butter at breakfast and it was very limited and nothing filled up ||I booked a tour for the next day, arrived at 9 am and he told me he had not booked it. He wanted me to book it through his contact at some ridiculous price! All the places to eat nearby are filthy and sub standard, however there is a nice cafe ( no food) next door ||The only redeeming factor this hotel has is Jason who is the helper there who is extremely sweet ||I would not recommend this hotel if you are an English speaking traveller ||I wrote to them before I got there and asked if they had English speaking guests. They assured me they did ||The only other english speaking guests that were there the entire time I was there didn’t want to talk! I have been to 94 countries and this is the worst treatment I have ever encountered... congratulations! As a solo woman traveller it is important to feel safe and not to feel...

If you are after peace and quiet, you've come to the right place: La Paloma villa resort-It has an amazing tropical garden, palm trees and beautiful orchid flowers which has been looked after by the Resort Owner. ||The pool has sun loungers and the balcony overlooking the pool had comfy chairs and was a great place to read and relaxing ||The rooms are clean and spacious, all include free wifi. Best of all, the staff are friendly, smiley, and always helpful.||Specially, there is a gallery displaying all the awesome artworks of the resort owner. In this gallery, all guests discover more about the Vietnamese culture, lifestyle ... which were scaled down into amazing photographs taken by photographer Le Bu.||I loved my visit, and found nothing negative to write on the review about this wonderful place.|| A must stay place for all tourists ....

Premesso che l'ambiente è veramente carino, il giardino è curatissimo e che lo staff è molto gentile, i prezzi del frigo bar sono super economici, sarebbe un oasi dal caos di Nha trang ma ci sono state delle cose che non ci hanno fatto apprezzare molto questo soggiorno.||Unico hotel del nostro soggiorno in Vietnam senza drink di benvenuto e con colazione buona ma un po' scarsa si può scegliere 1sola cosa da bere e non ci sono succhi di frutta,1sola cosa da mangiare tipo uova ma senza prosciutto o bacon e a mattina c'è un solo tipo di frutta e se non ti piace quello...chiodi! Ma a questo si pone presto rimedio i russi si portavano al tavolo il loro prosciutto, io il mio yogurt, altri la frutta tutto comprato fuori ai market.||Non siamo stati molto fortunati nemmeno con la camera, unica rimasta disponibile alla ns prenotazione room 104 standard, senza nemmeno un armadio in camera, finestra bloccata con asticelle di ferro e con tenda talmente fine che già alle 5:30 la mattina c'era giorno nella stanza,una sola presa di corrente in tutta la stanza da fare i turni per asciugarsi capelli ricaricare batteria della reflex, cellulari, iPad.... e porta finestra (che nn chiudeva benissimo) che dava su un terrazzino poco piacevole,wi-fi a macchia di leopardo, è vero che costava solo 35$ a notte ma per quella cifra abbiamo avuto sistemazioni nettamente migliori in Vietnam, ma anche in Asia in generale.||Per arrivare in centro ci vogliono circa 100mila VND di taxi, sono circa 3,5 km e a piedi con il clima di agosto non è molto fattibile, ma la struttura mette a disposizione le biciclette.||La spiaggia raggiungibile a piedi vicino all' hotel è molto più bella della spiaggia principale.||Ho avuto modo di vedere le camere delux e sono nettamente migliori, da come sono curate non sembrano nemmeno nello stesso hotel delle standard!!||Il mio voto sarebbe stato "nella media" ma da sottolineare che al tuo arrivo vogliono i passaporti e non c'è modo di farseli ridare fino al check out, ne chiedendolo gentilmente ne insistendo..trovano scuse tipo li devono registrare, nn hanno potuto portarli alla polizia, domattina te li rendiamo...più visti fino al check out (dicci che li vuoi a garanzia della stanza e fai prima) ...ah unica struttura di 7 in Vietnam che ha voluto i passaporti in ostaggio..e solo per questo consiglierei di...
