My stay in DaNang and nearby towns were over 9 days, By the time we checked into Monarque, this would have been our 4th and last hotel before leaving for home. If we can, we will give the hotel 6-stars for the service, near-like butler service; being greeted from our HoiÁn ride to the reception with welcoming titbits and refreshing drinks during check-in (in fact, every time when we were at the lobby area, we are "served" refreshing dring) till bringing us to our individual rooms, luggage separately delivered by the concierge.
My room needed rubber mat in the bathroom/walk-in shower for my elderly father and they provided without fanfare (unlike other hotels we stayed before this).
The booking had indicated afternoon tea- what was surprising is that it was English high-tea. And our first night we were even given complimentary Phó for dinner. It was top notch beef broth with Phó - we all loved it.
The delicious meal does not stop there, the breakfast spread was plenty - a blend of western and Vietnamese food (including Bahn Mi, Vietnamese coffee, lovely baguettes, soup, variety of egg Benedict).
I will write here to thank every staff member whom we have crossed paths with during our stay, every one of them served us (even with other guests) with their utmost best and always with a Smile.
Monarque may not be the tallest hotel building on the DaNang ***** beach but it has a beautiful swimming pool on the 12th floor that overlooks the sea and the beach with many wonderful seafood restaurants that are just across the street. (perhaps the council of that area could add yellow caution blinker lights at the pedestrian crossing, that will help the crossing feel safer). Without crossing the road, and just behind the hotel you can get many massage parlour and a plethora of Vietnamese food - we dined at a Hanoi cuisine restaurant and the food was delicious!
Overall, my trip to DaNang was made memorable by Monarque. I really hope to stay again at the hotel-keep up the great service!
