Good value

very new hotel and staff friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Maybe there are other hotels where for small amount you get a double, big room with a bathroom, all very clear and helpful staff, friendly without pushing, but this one certainly has it all. Except the smell of humidity in the room (I guess on the upper floors is less), this hotel can serve as a stop over without a doubt.

The only very slight disappointment with this place is that it's not really walking distance to the old town, but that only a short & cheap taxi ride away. Apart from that, I can't imagine why you would want to stay anywhere else! The staff can't do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble, (buying tickets commission free, ringing around to get the best private tour price - then getting it 10% cheaper then the cheapest travel company, then preparing a picnic breakfast because we were leaving early). The room was good, the bed was comfy. The lift/elevator works too. English is quite well spoken by the staff. If we ever make it back to Hue, then we will stay here again. You should too.

Great hotel, especially for the price, a fairly average breakfast also included. Very friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much bother for them. The location was not the best as it was about 10 minutes walk from the main area. However, this probably avoided all the traffic beeping & noise and so was not a problem.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Free internet. Clean rooms and service. Breakfast a little on the light side. We went to Hue by train and arrived early in the morning -the early check-in was no problem at all. Would stay there again.

We had a very pleasant stay at this small hotel. Staff was exstremly helpfull and serviceminded (they helped us get back our camera that we forgot in a taxi). Rooms very clean and had an okay view. However the hotel is at the outskirts of the town, so you will need to take a taxa. We rented an excellent (we've tried a few during our visit and this was the best) motorbike at the hotel.

This hotel is on the fringes of Hue, but as the city is not large and taxis are very cheap that is not a major problem. If you wish to walk to the citadel, it would take about half an hour. The service is excellent : laundry is done cheaply and quickly, excellent and well-priced tours are available, the staff are very friendly, and there are three free and fast internet terminals. The only thing I missed was a safe for my passport in the room, but reception kept it for me reliably. The rooms are superb value for the price. It's not the lap of luxury but it is very good and wonderfully cheap.

Conclusion first: Should your hotel budget be anything upto USD50 per room per night, or if you're not really budget sensitive and more concerned with overall hotel experience, I would highly recommend this hotel for its excellent value, friendly approachable service and even for it not been centrally located as that means less noise and pollution. In anycase its about USD2 and a five to 10Mins a/c taxi ride to/from the centre.This is my fifth visit to Vietnam over the last decade or so. First time travelling solo over two weeks from Hanoi to HCMC/Saigon stopping at Hue and Hoi An (If you're travelling from Hue to Danang/Hoi An try using the train -- about USD3 one way Hue to Danang -- for the fantastic views esp. over Hai Van Pass). Experienced quite a variety of V'nam hotels over these visits (plus others elsewhere). Based on that the Victory Hotel Hue suite-room is surely one of the best overall in terms of price/value/service ratio so far.My booked stay was for four nights in a superior room but I received a free upgrade to a suite-room (417) as mentioned; however had I traveled with my family I would still have been more than happy to pay the USD45+ for this very clean spacious a/c suite-room with homey decor, 32in LCD TV, fridge (stocked with sensibly priced beers and soft drinks, including the tasty lemon tea drink!); the room also comes with complimentary simple but sufficient breakfast: coffee/tea, eggs and baguette, or noodles, plus fruit salad and on occasion even a piece of cake; also included in room price are 2 x bottled water daily, and wifi/cabled broadband internet (if travelling with laptop good idea to bring your own network cable as backup, wherever you're staying). Apparently the hotel only started operation in early 2008, so everything seems to reflect that too.The service from the staff was friendly and efficient, and the young proprietor/manager [...] and his wife [...] are no less approachable and helpful eg writing a note for a restaurant visit explaining my food preferences etc. Re meals if you're not bothered to go out, you could get the hotel reception to order a delivery to your room from the restaurant recommended by the hotel. Serves excellent Vietnamese and Western food and good value too, eg very fresh tasty squid grilled, with rice at VND60000/USD3.5. Side note: The hotel provides only free PICK-UP FROM the train or bus station, but not the airport.
