Guest Reviews

• Jakki (4/5): - There is a great write up in the recent Lonely Planet Guide about Murray Guesthouse being a wonderful addition to the Chau Doc accommodation options... a great guest lounge, roof terrace, bar, pool table and great breakfast. Sadly no longer... none of these exists! Instead we had a poor welcome, accusing us of having cancelled, the bedside lights didn't work, our friend had no toilet paper or a toilet that flushed. It is very cheap to stay there and it is clean, but that is it.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Has been hostal
• Veronique (2/5): - We booked and paid in advance, but when we arrived, they were not expecting us. They received us as if we were a nuisance. They finally found our reservation, but for one night instead of two nights (we had paid for two nights), they wanted to make us pay for the second night. They barely spoke English. They finally gave us a room that smelled really bad and had stains of insects of the sheets. We found another hotel for the second night and couldn’t get a refound from Expedia.
• Sylvie (2/5): - Homestay fermé a notre arrivée. Le propriétaire ne trouvait pas notre réservation et il etait super faché apres nous pour aucune raison.
• Son (2/5): - It is not comfortable to stay. Management treatments wasn't good.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Front desk guy was rude and unwelcoming. AC does not work well at all, no cold water, cockroach in room. However, no plastic bottles so that’s a good change. Can not recommend
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Arrivée difficile, le tenancier malgré qu’il avait mon mail m’a fait poireauté car le numéro de passeport n’était pas le bon (sauf que j’ai aucun souvenir d’avoir dû inscrire mon nu de passeport sur la réservation). Ne parlait pas anglais, a demandé un backchich à mes amis vietnamien pour accepter de commander un taxi tôt le lendemain matin, le wifi ne fonctionnait pas, j’ai dû insister pour qu’ils remettent le ruter en marche, acceuil peu avenant, chambre avec vue sur les taules d’en face….pas terrible….
• Claudia (8/5): - Einfach
• Andreas (10/5): - Very nice welcome. The lady organised our bus pickup for the next day. Her restaurant suggestion was excellent. The upstairs bar with the self-service and the pool table are a real treat.
• PALACIO (8/5): - Super rapport qualité prix. Pas de breakfast. A 15 mn à pied du centre ville. Propose des tours. La proprio a beaucoup voyagé et parle anglais. Je recommande.
• Tim (10/5): - I stayed one night in Murray Guesthouse while passing through Chau Doc. The owner was kind and helpful. My room was clean and well kept. A bargain for the price. Highly recommend.
• Gábor (10/5): - Nice and comfortable accommodation with very friendly and helpful English speaking staff. Special thanks to Thanh Can for all of her help and kindness.
• An (2/5): Dirty guesthouse - Very small reception,did not have enough light , very dark Our room was on 1rst floor , We can’t contact a “ receptionist “ from a phone in the room . Bottle of shower gel was empty,the safety box is out of work .When We flipped the quilt ,the sheet was full of black marks. We went to find another hotel right after that . Extremely dirty guesthouse.
• Dan (8/5): - Trevlig atmosfär och god service. Ligger vid trafikerad gata som skänker underhållning och visar dagligt liv. Pratsam ägare som berikade uppgifter.
• rose (8/5): Small guesthouse with friendly service . - Comfortable beds ,clean ,good breakfast. AC in the rooms but not in the common areas so there it was really warm . They have bicycles to borrow,but the traffic is pretty crazy.It was good for a night . The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Mr Murray gives a lot of information.
• Lucie (10/5): Excellente adresse ! - Excellent séjour ! Le propriétaire néo-zélandais de la guest house est vraiment sympathique, tout comme le personnel qui s’est chargé de la réservation de nos billets de ferry. Si vous passez à Chau Doc, arrêtez vous dans ce super endroit pour la nuit !
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The guesthouse is immaculate, very good mattress, excellent shower and helpful staff. Our inward journey was booked for us very efficiently. Convenient location. Substantial breakfast and good bar facilities.
• Brian (8/5): Murray guest houy - Hotel good, owner very friendly and knowledgable about area.
• usman (10/5): A local gem - Stayed here one night. Had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The facilities are modern and clean and the staff is extremely friendly and courteous. Right off the main street. They dont upcharge on any tours. Wayne is GREAT!
• Thor (10/5): - Fabelaktig. Hyggelige eiere.
• Johanne (8/5): - Comfortable bed, good breakfast and the hotel booked our bus to Hatien and everything went smoothly. We weren’t expecting that our window was overlooking the lobby. This should be mentioned in the room listing
• Ann Marie (6/5): Kan sagtens anbefales til få overnatninger - Det er et on sted for en enkelt nat. Mit værelse var uden vinduer og meget tidlig støj om morgenen da det lå lige op af rum med morgenmad. Dejlig altan og fin have på taget. Fin modtagelse.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Propreté et équipements remarquables. Patrons et personnel excellents. Un rapport qualité prix rarement rencontré.
• Claudie (8/5): - Séjour malheureusement. Trop court mais les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et aux petits soins pour les clients . Petit déjeuner maison très copieux .rien à redire.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly and helpfull people for organizing your trip. Bicycle friend.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Goede ligging, goed ontbijt, aardige gastheer, netjes
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good enough for a night. - Comfortable, affordable and clean accommodation. The food options were awful in Châu Doc though I felt. When I mentioned we’d be visiting Can Tho, the owner mentioned to drive straight through and get us to look at other tours that he preferred. We loved our time in Can Tho and glad we kept to our plans.
• Ingrid (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Murray's hospitality. Having free use of the bikes was fantastic too! We highly recommend this accommodation and will be back!
• John (10/5): Can't wait to go back! - Great spot. Friendly owner and his wife were there always to help out. Easy walk to good restaurants and downtown. Great condition bikes to use to peddle the countryside. Great breakfast.
• John (10/5): - Staff, including the owner Murray, were super nice and very accommodating. They had very good bikes for riding out in to the countryside. Very tasty breakfast!
• Ingrid (10/5): Excellent accommodation - We only had 2 nights but would have been happy to stay longer! Murray is a wealth of knowledge of the area and extremely helpful. We enjoyed the breakfasts and had a very comfortable room. The use of the free bicycles, which were in excellent condition, enabled us to see some of the local highlights. The roof top terrace is a great place for a cold drink in the evening! We highly recommend Murray's Guesthouse and will definitely stay there again on our next visit to southern Vietnam.
• Marlis (8/5): Comfortable beds - Close walk to the River & food. This was one of the most comfortable beds we slept on in 5 weeks traveling SE Asia. The owner created us when we arrived & the staff was very helpful. They called & set up our FUTA bus trip. If possible don't stay in the room next to the stairs & dining area. It's very loud in the morning.
• Holly (8/5): Nice stay, just what we needed - Good location in chau doc near the port, getting the boat to Phnom Penh was the reason we came to chau doc. The hotel sorted our boat reservations, changed our Vietnamese money to USD needed for Cambodia, and were generally very friendly and welcoming. Also a good pool table and bar for guests!
• Malea (10/5): Charming guesthouse with the best Pho in Vietnam - The Murray Guesthouse was the perfect location for our stay in Chao Doc. We were there 2 nights and enjoyed the comfortable rooms and convenient location. We walked down to the riverfront park and took a boat tour of the floating fish farms and Cham Villiage which was a highlight of our stay. We enjoyed the food at the guesthouse very much. We had wonderful food downtown as well. Murray's homemade breakfast sausages were so tasty and his wife made the best Pho of my trip. Murray was delightful to talk to, he has such a nice family and friendly staff. If you are going to Chao Doc and want a clean, comfortable, secure place to stay for a very reasonable price I highly recommend The Murray Guesthouse.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Free bikes, nice, friendly place - Loved the free bike hire and recommended bike routes! The family that owns the place if very kind and friendly and was very helpful in booking our onward travel. Highly recommend this place. Only downside is you need to walk a little to get food the recommend.
• larry (10/5): Excellent guesthouse - I could not be more pleased The room and appointments well above average The breakfast was great as was the conversation with Murray Staff very helpful
• Grant (10/5): Stay here. It’s great! - The staff are very helpful as soon as you arrive with local information and ensuring your comfort. Restaurants, stalls, shops ATM, ferry to Cambodia are all within walking distance. Rooms are clean and welcoming. Beds are comfortable. Hot shower with great water pressure. Breakfast is wonderful with options including delicious home made sausages, fresh bread fruit. Hosts were wonderful! They kindly organised our onward journey and provided us with detailed information about where to go, what to do and also general information which proved to be invaluable. Stay a while for the best experience.
• Greg (10/5): Very clean and comfortable - Chau Doc is a vibrant city that’s small enough to be manageable but has plenty to offer. We took a boat tour on the river, went to a bird sanctuary, visited Buddhist temples and shrines, and ate amazing food. Murray Guesthouse is very nice- a little oasis of western comfort in the middle of the continuous buzz of Vietnamese culture. Check out the roof top patio with a great view of the city. Breakfast overlooking the street is a great way to start the day. Wayne and Tencan (spelling?) are gracious hosts always around to answer questions and tell you about the region.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great place to stay - Excellent spot. Very clean, and wonderful staff I loved the bikes))
• Thaddeus (10/5): - Captain Murray and his wife catered to all our needs. He is a great source of information on Vietnam and helped us with our travel plans. The hotel is spotless and very comfortable.
• gustavo (10/5): Perfect little stopping place to cross Mekong - Wayne and wife look personally after their place. They ensure complete customer satisfaction and are very helpful with the details of border crossing. The rooms are ample and there is a nice lounge with a pool table on the second floor. They also have bikes for free to go around town. Highly recommended.
• Buttercup (10/5): Great place to stay one night in Chau Doc - Was met by friendly staff, then owner came and met us providing lots of tips to make the most of our short stay. We did them all. Walked, drank and ate frog!!. Would stay again if chance ever came up.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent Hotel - This is probably the best hotel we stayed at during our month in Vietnam. The staff is very helpful and kind, the hotel is clean and has a great bar and rooftop garden, breakfast is great. Can't recommend this place enough.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Thanks so much for our stay - Great two night stay. Big room, comfy bed, a light over the mirror in the bathroom was really good as it allowed us to see to do shaving and makeup, breakfast some and good. Good location and free use of bikes. Really helpful in booking boat to PP and emailing info on bus. Lucky to be there on day of ox racing which owner very kindly took us to - fabulous. Thanks so much.
• Julie (10/5): Personal and friendly. Well located. - Murray and his family run this comfortable and friendly guesthouse that is well located in Chau Doc, Viet Nam. We arrived late in the afternoon after travelling down the Mekong from Phnom Penh. The rooftop garden is great for a cold beer and to get your bearings on this gorgeous place. We enjoyed the personal service and hearing about Murrays travels and how he came to be in Chau Doc. We would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you Murray and family.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice hotel - Staying at the Murray was a great experience. This hotel was built by someone who has traveled a lot and knows what people want to see in a hotel. The rooms are very nice, clean and comfortable. The staff is great they were extremely helpful even before we arrived with prompt email replies the service was even better once we arrived. I would definitely recommend staying here.
• Gisele (10/5): Convenient and clean Guesthouse. - Really nice reception team and owners. Nice to have breakfast on the balcony in the morning. Good breakfast, comfortable bed and quiet street.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Modern, comfortable hotel with great breakfast - Town is noisy, too many honking motorcycles, but free well-maintained bikes allowed us to explore the amazing peaceful countryside, via ferries as well. Wayne (owner) is great conversationalist, made stay a joy. Sitting on waterfront watching bustling river was also fun. Spacious, quiet modern room at a reasonable price. Breakfast was great with homemade sausage, choice of eggs, tasty coffee.
• lee (10/5): stay here - after a 7 hour bus trip from saigon what a fantastic place to stay.met murray straight away and wished we were staying more than 1 night but had the ferry booked to cambodia. how many B and Bs rely on the honesty of its guests to serve themselves at the bar and leave your room number to pay when you checkout. stay here and help out the smaller places. will be staying here again next time we are in mekong area.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good hotel right in the center of town. Close to everything and clean,
