Hung Phuc Mui Ne Hotel — Hotel in Phan Thiết City

Disclaimer: We do not receive any financial compensation from “Hung Phuc Mui Ne Hotel” for this review. Moreover, we are not professional “Hoteliers”, and the review is resulted from the actual experience.

We will review the hotel in three areas: Facility/Room, Location and Service/Attitude

FACILTIY/ROOM This is a budget hotel with the potential to be 2 or 3 stars, but will require additional injection of capitals. Overall, the owner of this hotel keeps up with the maintenance. The majority of low end hotels fall into disarray within few years of operation. The room has high ceiling, hence additional personal space for the occupants. The room we booked has a window that brought in plenty of sunlight. It is furnished with solid wood furniture and the amenities are very basic of a typical 1-star hotel. The bed is very comfortable and clean in comparison to its peers. In the last few years, many low end hotels in Vietnam participate in the “HOURLY” rental to the locals for the business of the birds and the bees. As a result, the reuse of bed linens can be a problem for the daily rental visitors. This hotel does not seem to be participated in this “LOVE” business.

LOCATION “Hung Phuc Mu Ne Hotel” is strategically located within the walking distance to the beach, favorite coffee shops, cheap restaurants, tours services and convenient stores. Note, this is a lay-back beach town.

SERVICE/ATTITUDE This hotel is operated by the family matriarch and her young son. The son is very friendly and speaks English. He is the main reason for many foreign visitors who came to this hotel feel comfortable and safe. Any concerns and general inquiries are fully addressed in English. Many low end hotels in Vietnam will not have English speaking receptionist.

Overall, we would give “Hung Phuc Mu Ne Hotel” a 4.5 rating for the experience 2...

For the price, this place was great. The location is debatable. I'd say it's ideal, because it's quiet, you can literally overlook the Fairy Stream, a popular tourist attraction, and it's about 2 minutes' walking distance from the beach.

The beach isn't the best, it's a typical Vietnam beach where this hotel is located - littered with some trash and the like - but a few minutes walk down the beach and you are near the much better kept area. Either way it's fine.

Lots of food and stuff around the hotel so you don't need to worry about that, and easy to get to tourist things like a day trip on a Jeep.

The hotel itself is very clean. You are required to take your shoes off which I love, and they re-do your room and make it smell wonderfully fresh every time you walk in. A/C works fine along with everything else, though the shower is a little weak. The bed is comfortable - especially comparing to where I'm from, China - and the room is unnecessarily big!

The best thing about this place was the Concierge whose English was pristine, his knowledge and attitude were just as good. He was happy to help with bikes, tours, exchange, all with a smile and a cool approach.

The gates close somewhere around midnight, but you just ring the bell and a smiling guard guy will open it for you, he even let us go into their shop and buy some snacks, no problem.

Overall, you aren't going wrong by choosing this place. There's no pool or whatever but what do you expect for the price? I'm guessing most people coming here are here for the beach and exploration, not the hotel...

The owners (2 fine young brothers) welcomed us warmly when we arrived and even helped us communicate with the driver who transferred us from Nha Trang. We immediately felt at home when we find that the owners could speak perfect English and are extremely helpful and friendly. They gave great advises on the local food and is even honest about exchange rates at hotel vs at bank. At the end of the stay, I would even consider them as good friends. The hotel is located right next to the fairy stream and walkable distance to the local market, beach, Rang church. The room is big, clean and neat and even have a huge bathroom. One thing to note in Mui Ne, you should not drink the local tap water, even after boiling it. There is a weird taste to it. Overall, I had a great stay here and would recommend to anyone visiting Mui Ne! Thanks Jimmy and Phuc for making my stay a great...
