Melia Vinpearl Thanh Hoa — Hotel in Thanh Hoá

A Night at Vinpearl Hotel Thanh Hoa – My Unexpected Luxury Retreat||I wasn’t planning to fall in love with Thanh Hoa.||To be honest, the city was supposed to be just a quick stopover on my way to Pu Luong. But then I found myself standing in the lobby of Vinpearl Hotel Thanh Hoa, and everything changed.||First Impressions: Grand, Yet Surprisingly Warm||Vinpearl doesn’t really do “modest.” The moment I walked in, I was greeted by soaring ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, and a lobby that felt more like a palace than a hotel. But what struck me most wasn’t the marble or the shine—it was the warmth.||The staff smiled like they meant it. Not that overly rehearsed hotel smile, but the kind that says: “We’re genuinely happy you’re here.” I checked in within minutes, sipped on a welcome drink, and headed up to my room on the 21st floor.||The Room: Where Modern Elegance Meets Comfort||My room was chef’s kiss. Neutral tones, plush bedding, a rain shower I didn’t know I needed, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a sweeping view of the city below. Thanh Hoa at night is actually quite pretty—soft lights, a gentle buzz, and none of the chaos you get in bigger cities.||Oh, and the bed? Let’s just say I had the best sleep I’d had in weeks. There’s something about hotel linens that just hit different.||Breakfast: Come Hungry, Leave Happy||If you’re a foodie (or just someone who enjoys a good breakfast buffet), Vinpearl’s morning spread is going to make you very, very happy. I’m talking Vietnamese staples like pho, banh cuon, and crispy banh mi, right next to international classics—eggs made to order, fresh pastries, tropical fruit, and barista-made coffee.||Pro tip: Try the local Thanh Hoa fish sauce with your pho. Sounds odd, but trust me—it’s a flavor bomb.||Facilities: Unexpected Extras That Make You Stay Longer||I originally booked just one night. But after discovering the rooftop bar, indoor pool, and ridiculously well-equipped gym, I extended for another day. The rooftop was my favorite—sunset cocktails with a view of the Ma River and mountains in the distance? Yes, please.||And if you’re into pampering, the Vincharm Spa is calling your name. I didn’t plan on getting a massage, but after walking around in 35-degree heat all day, it felt like a necessary detour. Worth every dong.||Location: Surprisingly Convenient||The hotel sits right in the heart of Thanh Hoa City, which makes exploring super easy. You can walk to local cafes, the city square, and even a few night markets. Plus, it’s only a 20-minute drive to Sam Son Beach if you’re craving some sea breeze.||Final Thoughts: More Than Just a Pit Stop||Vinpearl Hotel Thanh Hoa turned a forgettable transit stop into a highlight of my trip. It’s luxurious but not pretentious, elegant yet comfortable. Whether you’re in Thanh Hoa for business, a wedding, or just passing through, this hotel doesn’t just give you a place to sleep—it gives you a...

A Night at Vinpearl Hotel Thanh Hoa – My Unexpected Luxury Retreat

I wasn’t planning to fall in love with Thanh Hoa. To be honest, the city was supposed to be just a quick stopover on my way to Pu Luong. But then I found myself standing in the lobby of Vinpearl Hotel Thanh Hoa, and everything changed.

Vinpearl doesn’t really do “modest.” The moment I walked in, I was greeted by soaring ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, and a lobby that felt more like a palace than a hotel. But what struck me most wasn’t the marble or the shine—it was the warmth.

The staff smiled like they meant it. Not that overly rehearsed hotel smile, but the kind that says: “We’re genuinely happy you’re here.” I checked in within minutes, sipped on a welcome drink, and headed up to my room on the 21st floor.

The Room: Where Modern Elegance Meets Comfor My room was chef’s kiss. Neutral tones, plush bedding, a rain shower I didn’t know I needed, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a sweeping view of the city below. Thanh Hoa at night is actually quite pretty—soft lights, a gentle buzz, and none of the chaos you get in bigger cities.

Oh, and the bed? Let’s just say I had the best sleep I’d had in weeks. There’s something about hotel linens that just hit different.

Breakfast: Come Hungry, Leave Happy. If you’re a foodie (or just someone who enjoys a good breakfast buffet), Vinpearl’s morning spread is going to make you very, very happy. I’m talking Vietnamese staples like pho, banh cuon, and crispy banh mi, right next to international classics—eggs made to order, fresh pastries, tropical fruit, and barista-made coffee.

I booked 5 rooms with a maximum capacity of 10 people, and my group has exactly 10 people. However, the reception at Melia still wants my group to pay an additional fee for the number of guests. I don’t understand why this fee is necessary since your hotel only offers 3 room types (Deluxe, Corner, and VIP), all of which accommodate a maximum of 2 people. How will the extra payment be recorded in the system, or is it for the receptionist’s personal use?||||2. Regarding breakfast, typically OTAs like Agoda include breakfast for the maximum capacity of the room, not the number of guests booked. Since your hotel only has rooms for 2 people, my booking should include breakfast for 10 people. However, Melia informed me that only 5 breakfasts are included, which I’m fine with and willing to pay extra for. But Melia only charged me for 3 additional breakfasts (2xxxk VND for adults and 1xxk for children). Does this mean Melia is missing 2 breakfasts? Or is the receptionist pocketing the extra payment for the 3 breakfasts without recording it in the system? The 3 breakfasts you mentioned cost around 7xxk VND (about 40-50 USD). Is this amount worth compromising the reputation of Melia Thanh Hoa? On Tripadvisor, your hotel is ranked #1 in Thanh Hoa, yet the receptionist is extorting money from guests over such a small amount?||||3. Previously, I asked about a refund and was told to contact Agoda first, and that your hotel would 100% agree to the refund once Agoda approved it (I understand OTAs need hotel approval for refunds). However, the next day, your FOM informed me that no refund would be issued. How can a hotel ranked #1 on Tripadvisor go back on its word like this? ||P/s Agoda support very bad, i send them request but over 2 months...
