The Coffee City - Healing & Retreats

The staff was very friendly and the place was extraordinarily clean. The rooms were super cozy and smelled amazing. The community areas were also super comfortable and essential facilities like the kitchen and bathroom were well functioning. Most of the time, the staff was on top of requests and could help although some employee's English was lacking. However, as I speak Vietnamese, it wasn't too difficult to communicate. There are some really cool things you can sign up for like a coffee workshop which educates you on the way of making coffee. Keep in mind that for most activities you need to pay extra.

The place promotes itself as an eco-tourism place but much of it feels like greenwashing unfortunately. The café and restaurant had hardly any vegan/vegetarian options. For example, there was NO option to have an alternative to dairy milk in the café. There is a lot of construction still happening in ways that doesn't always count as sustainable - e.g. sustainable materials, smart water/irrigation systems or solar panels. The construction plans of creating shopping facilities with popular western brands completely defeats the point of eco-tourism, which is such a shame. The Coffee Retreat should really re-consider what they want to be and promote. Whilst there have definitely been attempts of making the place greener than usual, e.g. offering free bicycles, it still has a long way to go. Also, one must pay quite a large amount for so many small extra things which should normally come with the price, e.g. using the bathrobes; museum entry, workshops.

The decor of the apartment was high quality and the aromatic diffuser was a very nice touch.

New, clean, relaxed atmosphere

Could have done with a (shared) washing machine

The location is just ideal with good accessibility and calmness. The staff were very kind and helpful. Very clean and beautiful apartment. Value for money.

The breakfast option was too limited. Really appreciate the idea of introducing the local cuisine to the visitors but limited vegetarian and global options is a minus.

Quiet, extremely spacious and comfortable. Great breakfast and the afternoon tea was a special delight

The hot water pressure was quite low for showering.
