Reviews of any and all hostels and hotels I’ve stayed in around the world.

Hotel Review: Andaman Beach Resort, Koh Phi Phi

December 15, 2011

When you step off the ferry at Koh Phi Phi’s pier, you are inundated with cries of ‘hotel? hotel?’. But the best advice I can give is to ignore them all and head straight to the main information desks, where they have pictures and prices for pretty much all the hotels and guesthouses on the … More Hotel Review: Andaman Beach Resort, Koh Phi Phi

Hotel Review: Z Hotel, Koh Samui

December 13, 2011

There’s not really anything you can fault the Z Hotel on to be honest. It only opened in September so of course there are a few little kinks, which is as to be expected, but on the whole our stay here was really pleasant. We were in a triple room, with one double bed and … More Hotel Review: Z Hotel, Koh Samui

Hotel Review: The King Angkor Villa, Siem Reap

December 11, 2011

Upon arrival at the King Angkor Villa we were greeted by a very smiley man who knew exactly who we were and which room to take us to…it was nice to think they had been waiting for us and were fully prepared. We were in a Private Triple Ensuite room with a fan (instead of … More Hotel Review: The King Angkor Villa, Siem Reap

Hotel Review: Sunday Guesthouse, Phnom Penh

December 7, 2011

When a place only costs $4 per person per night, you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get, so the Sunday Guesthouse was a great surprise. Upon arrival at the bus station in Phnom Penh we were picked up and driven in a tuk tuk the 15 minute journey to the guesthouse (free of … More Hotel Review: Sunday Guesthouse, Phnom Penh

Hotel Review: 96 GuestHouse, Ho Chi Minh City

December 4, 2011

If, when you’re looking for 96 Guesthouse, you walk by it a couple of times, thinking it’s actually just a shop, you won’t be the first one. It took us a few minutes of staring at this shop-front that sat where our guesthouse was supposed to be, before someone beckoned us inside and there, sure … More Hotel Review: 96 GuestHouse, Ho Chi Minh City

Hotel Review: Bien Nho, Sea of Memory Resort, Mui Ne

December 3, 2011

When you get off the bus from Nha Trang, you will be, as per usual, inundated with offers from taxi drivers to take you to their hotel. Business cards will be thrust into your hand and you will be forced to make a choice…this hotel or that one…a choice made all the more difficult by … More Hotel Review: Bien Nho, Sea of Memory Resort, Mui Ne

Hotel Review: The Ruby Hotel, Nha Trang

November 30, 2011

Situated just two blocks from the beach and right in the centre of all the main shops, bars and restaurants, the Ruby Hotel is a perfect place to stay in Nha Trang. The staff are friendly, there’s a lift (excellent news if you’re on one of the upper floors and the thought of carrying your … More Hotel Review: The Ruby Hotel, Nha Trang

Hotel Review: Sunflower Hotel, Hoi An

November 30, 2011

Our stay at the Sunflower Hotel was one of the best on this trip by far. Not only did they pick us up from the bus station, but they also took us to us next bus when we left and, even better, there were little flowers on our beds when we arrived. The hotel is … More Hotel Review: Sunflower Hotel, Hoi An

Hotel Review: Valentine Hotel, Hue

November 26, 2011

The Valentine Hotel, well, what can I say? This was one of the nicest places we have stayed so far, and for only $6 per night (each) for a three bed private, ensuite room. Upon arrival, the staff greet you with a smile and an absolute willingness and desire to please and do everything they … More Hotel Review: Valentine Hotel, Hue

Hotel Review: Hanoi Municipal Hotel, Hanoi

November 23, 2011

At the very end our our bus journey from Vang Vieng, a very nice man got on board to tell us all about his travel agency, the minibus that can take us to the city centre and the hotel he manages. We were all so tired by this point that we jumped at the chance … More Hotel Review: Hanoi Municipal Hotel, Hanoi
