Phuc Thao Villa

Terrible ! Tourists beware ! The owner isn’t a sweet man , he doesn’t take care of his property, he is only after your money with his fake smiles , he doesn’t give a dead rat about anything , so please , please, dear westerners, don’t be naive , don’t let him screw you . First , I had to take shoes off before entering his property ( it’s not a temple , not a private residence , it’s a hotel, business for Christ sake !) , it was raining outside , he did not bother to keep all the Shoes and slippers covered in some dry place , so my socks got wet immediately . Ok, no biggie . Then I realized that the bed in my room was so uncomfortable , springs literally pushed into my body when I lied down . I told him about that and he suggested I put a topper above the mattress . Great , so why did not you put it before I moved , if you have them . And now I have to do it ?! Then there was no hand/ face towels , but he promised to bring them in a few hours (!). And did. But all this pales in comparison with what happened later . When I came back around 10-10:30 at night there was a loud bird singing nonstop for the whole night . Not hotel’s fault , but still . The windows aren’t soundproof so you hear not just the bird but also street traffic in the morning. You can listen to the recording . It was hard to fall asleep . Then I decided to take a shower . I am nearsighted and took my glasses off , the bathroom is very dark and the floor has dark grey marble-ish color . So I began to shower , as I suddenly noticed that my slippers were sailing away . Guess what , the drain was so clogged that the water accumulated on the floor and was probably several centimeters high . Then the hot water ended and I finished showering with cool. I got out and texted the owner . Haven’t received any reply , even the following morning . Also the AC was so loud that I had to turn it off ( recording) My sleep was terrible because of the singing bird, bathroom incident and super uncomfortable bed . When I got up in the morning my back hurt badly . Please scroll down for videos. I went down and asked him for a little bit of milk for my instant coffee that I was going to make in my room . It was still a breakfast time , people were eating , nevertheless he handled me an unopened small container of milk with a straw . I thought he ran out of open milk containers ( how could that be when people are still having breakfast ) , but no , he did it because he was going to charge me 25,000 for that milk upon checkout . What a shameless crook ! After all that happened . Needless to say I used only a bit of milk and left the rest in the fridge . Same trick regarding laundry and breakfast . He offers it you with a caring voice and once you agree he will charge for it later or when you check out . Maybe not much of a money ,but I don’t like dishonesty and indecency. This man has no shame , he is only after your money . Despite all what happened he asked me if I want to extend my stay 😆.

The receptionist, Son, is very hardworking and helpful. He was able to find us far better prices for transportation (Hue to Da Nang) than we were able to find ourselves. Cheap motos available for rent and free bicycles were very convenient.

Lovely place to stay! The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and very friendly, which made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. It’s in a quiet area, yet still in a great location with everything you need nearby. The rooms are lovely and comfortable, and the air conditioning works great, which was a big plus. Couldn’t recommend it enough!
