Viet Nghia Hotel — Hotel in Sóc Trăng

Last minute trip to Soc Trang for Ok Om Bok, the largest Khmer festival of the year. All hotels were booked except for a few random choices, Viet Nghia included. The price was a little higher than I was expecting ($19 USD/night) as I know generally Soc Trang and other Delta cities are even cheaper. However, the reviews stated that the location was excellent, rooms were sparse, and you can't use a credit card. All of those reviews were spot on.||||Wonderful location that was a minute's walk to the river where the floating lanterns festivities were.

We stayed for one night at the hotel on our trip to Soc Trang for a family visit during the Tet festival.||||The hotel is located on a quiet residential road so there isn't a lot of noise at any time. We've found the hotel facilities more than adequate. The rooms are clean with good wifi coverage. Our room is located on the 7th floor with a fantastic view over the city. There's also a shared balcony on this floor which gives you a wonderful panoramic view of the city.||||All the local shops and restaurants are only a short ride away on a bike or in a taxi.||||For a short stay in town we would...

When I arrived, the room was proper. Wi-Fi worked fine and the minibar was full. However, the reception doesnt speak English. Not even a little bit. And payment by creditcard wasn't possible. Positive was that the kept an eye on the environment so they gave me one towel for three days. When I woke up on the first morning, i noticed a had a lot of pets in...
