Dam San Hotel

location, new renovated facilities

sound-proof, can hear the noise from the hallway

a very nice hotel for the price and good location

During our stay in Buon Ma Thout we had a hard time finding English speaking people. However, at Dam San we found one and she was very helpful. She helped us planning activities and arranged our transport with taxi and bus The room was fine, nothing fancy but tidy. The breakfast buffet had a variety of vietnamese dishes.

We wanted to visit some less touristic city during our trip so we chose Buon Ma Thuot and booked this hotel on our way down. The hotel itself is nice and clean, room was big and with many electric plugs (which I find important as I charge a lot of devices and powerbanks). Also the price is ok and the buffet breakfast was fine. But what I did not understand is how can almost no one speaks english. It is a Hotel. One can presume that foreigners will come. Not here. Receptionists, waitresses and even the lady in tourist office. We had the luck for one lady that knows the very basics.

Our room was good and the beds comfy. Dinner was pretty decent and the buffet breakfast not bad at all. The best feature is the pool. Very nice to cool off in. Just a bit awkward to dry our trunks off with no balcony or fan in the room.

Reservation was made by our road trip company so we weren't sure what to expect. The room was large, confortable bed and there were 2 nice soft chairs for a view out over the valley.. In February the wind was so strong that the pool didn't seem a good choice - the waves at Lak Lek meant no boat trip either. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and dining area was big enough to take a large number of guests (Asian and European opttions). Coffee and karaoke places just across the street. Didn't choose to eat in the hotel in the evening but good range of Vietnaese options on the menu. Take a taxi to places if you want to shop as town is quite spread out
