Reviews
An inexpensive hotel that is suitable for those who are not going to spend the whole day in a room with a TV remote control ... That's how many of our compatriots speak of Hoa Lam Hotel 2 *. Reviews of Russians in some issues vary, but one thing is common to all: a great price for the services provided.
Of course, lovers of luxury and pathos will not like it here, but you need to understand that the affordable cost of living cannot correspond to the amenities that are available in local fashionable hotels.
In all reviews, Russians warmly respond to the hotel owner and staff. Always smiling and friendly, they readily solve all problems.
And although the furniture in the rooms is not new, but they have everything you need for a comfortable pastime.
Some did not like the small areas of standard rooms, as well as the lack of services designed for small children. However, it is rather the fault of tour operators who do not warn their customers that the hotel is not suitable for families. The lack of territory is also perceived differently by our compatriots. Most Russians spent very little time at Hoa Lam Hotel 2 *, especially since tourists have to eat in a restaurant or cafe. Most vacationers are either on the beach or visiting local attractions, which are abundant in Nha Trang.
As for food, the hotel provides it only as a paid service "breakfast in the room." But this is practically not upsetting for any of the Russians, since there are many places around where you can eat cheaply, having got acquainted with the dishes of Vietnamese and Asian cuisine.
The beach did not cause any complaints, and although it is three hundred meters away, the road passes by local shops and cafes, and therefore does not create inconvenience.
Having summarized the reviews, we can say that most Russians have remained quite a given hotel, moreover, they recommend choosing Hoa Lam Hotel 2 * in Nha Trang - convenient both in terms of price and location.
