Golden Light Hotel

Kong Ha at the front desk is very friendly and always smiling. We forgot our passports, and she messaged us on WhatsApp and returned them to us. The room is spacious and the beds are comfortable, though the mattress is quite firm. The breakfast is delicious, offering fruits and soup. The hotel's location close to the sea is very convenient. Highly recommended.

I really disliked this hotel. The conditions were terrible: the room had mold, the hotel itself was dirty, and both the rooms and the entire property badly needed renovations. There were so many mosquitoes; they kept flying into the room non-stop through the bathroom ventilation. When I chose this hotel, I read a review from a previous guest who mentioned issues with the elevator, and I can confirm those problems are still not fixed – some elevator call buttons don't work. The shower was uncomfortable; it was installed incorrectly and was too low, impossible to adjust higher, and the water pressure was very weak. The breakfast was very cheaply put together. There were no scrambled eggs – I had to specifically ask for them to be cooked, which is a first for me in all the hotels I've stayed at. Also, during breakfast, they only provided a small carafe of drinking water for everyone, and for sweets, there was just one type of cheap pastry. They only provided a 0.35-liter bottle of water in the room daily – they even cut corners on that. I stayed in six hotels during my trip to Vietnam, and all the others provided 0.5-liter bottles. I paid $33 for this room, but it's worth a maximum of $12. The staff, especially in the hotel restaurant, didn't seem to try very hard. I assume it’s a greedy owner who sets these prices for rooms but pays his staff poorly, so I understand why they work the way they do. Also, in the restaurant, the cups were often poorly washed – not clean. The wardrobe was very small; it would be very inconvenient if two people were staying in the room.

The room was clean, and housekeeping came daily. But don't expect much in terms of service. I requested a room away from the elevator when booking, but ended up directly opposite it 😅. Early check-in wasn't available, which wasn't a huge deal, but I was disappointed that they wouldn't even let me use the hotel's restroom before check-in, even though they had already processed my check-in earlier than the stated time. Overall, it's fine for a couple of nights.

Not a bad option for the price. The sea is just a stone's throw away! The location is wonderful 👍

The hotel is quite decent. Breakfast offers a choice from a set menu. The receptionist Kong Ha is a wonderful girl—very friendly and speaks good English.
