This hotel complex with an emphatically European name is located in a completely different part of the world - in Asia. Hotel address: Vietnam, Nha Trang. Hotel Barcelona mainly welcomes European guests.
Europeans have a certain healthy conservatism in everyday habits. Most of them are afraid of poor-quality products, which is why they joke: "The Vietnamese eat everything that casts a shadow." The name of a famous European city in the name of the boarding house sounds like an invitation to them. Therefore, tourists are happy to stay in the hotel complex "Barcelona" (Nha Trang). The hotel is 3-star, but customer reviews indicate that the level of comfort in reality corresponds to type 3 * + or 4 *.
Nha Trang Resort
Nha Trang is not only the capital of the province of central Vietnam, but also a resort on the coast of the South China Sea. It is surrounded by picturesque mountains, and generously and tastefully landscaped with palm trees and other tropical flora. Here on the lawns flaunt plants that our gardeners grow at home in pots: aloe, clivia, adeniums. The city is a young resort, grown on the site of a fishing village. On its central streets there are extremely many hotels, cafes and restaurants, shops and diving centers.
Prices are relatively low, and the food is generous and varied. However, a tour to Vietnam is not worth buying and planning from the second decade of November to the second decade of February. The reason for this is the rainy season. The rest of the time, Nha Trang is a paradise for relaxation, because the average annual air temperature in Vietnam is 23 - 26 0 C. The locals are smiling and friendly. It is in the center, in the European quarter, that the Barcelona Hotel (Nha Trang) is located.
