May Nui Homestay — Hotel in Phan Si Pang Ward

This is a very budget accommodation, and we didn't pay a lot to stay here. ||The staff were very friendly, and although didn't speak a lot of English, made us feel very welcome. ||The room itself was fine, and the bathroom, although very basic, served it's purpose. There was no toilet paper provided, however. ||The main problem we had was with the sheets, as they were thin and too small for the bed. As a result, we ended up sleeping on a plastic mattress protector most of the night when the sheet would inevitably come off. ||The bedroom got bright very early (around 6am), with the curtains doing little to shield the light. The place was quite noisy too, so sleeping in was not possible for us. ||The place is right up the top of a hill, so be prepared for a small hike. There are no lifts either, so make sure you can handle stairs. ||Having said all this, it was one of the cheapest accommodations without going to a dormitory or home stay. If you are prepared for it being a budget stay,...

Simple cold rooms. The only warm place is in the bed as there is an electric blanket. It would be so cold without it. It’s also really humid so the towels are wet all the time. The room is clean and the view is only from the top floor (400k/night) the lower floor (300k/night) only the corner room has a view because of the trees. And you can enjoy the view only when it’s a good weather, otherwise is too cloudy to see anything. There was always hot water. You just need to wait 10-15 min after turning it on. Hotel is located quite close to the center but it’s uphill. You can rent a scooter for 150k/day which is expensive as everyone around has it for 100k/day. We just went around the corner (30m maybe) and we rented there for 100k/day. The owner and nice but doesn’t speak English so it’s hard to...

Property is located close to the city centre but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Good location to go north to the Cable Car or to work south to meet trekking guides. Owner is friendly but speaks little English, not that that is a problem. His daughter speaks very good English and was also very helpful. Rooms are large and water hot.||||Rooms weren't particularly clean and were facing a road, which throughout the night had large trucks rumbling up and down. Plenty of barking dogs and chickens too. The accommodation is quite basic and should probably be advertised as a Home Stay more than a hostel. We were up quite early generally but if you wanted a lie in past 8am and were on the second floor it would be impossible with the noise from the TV...
