Phuong Nam Hotel And Villa, Hoi An

Hoi An, Vietnam

Advantages: Quaint, cheap tailors, fabulous food
Disadvantages: none

, Nha Trang etc. We flew to Danang which is near China Beach ( where the Americans had their Rest and Recreation) and then drove to Hoi An. Fortunately despite the fact the Americans used this area for R&R it does not seem to have taken on the seedier aspects like Saigon, in fact it seemed relatively unchanged and undamaged. We stayed at a lovely old hotel called The Ancient House Hotel which was charming, friendly with a beautiful garden and a pool like a warm bath. We had fruit and little bean cakes wrapped in banana leaf left in our room every day. It wasn't modern, the bathroom had seen better days but everything was very clean.

Review of Hoi An (Vietnam)

Hotel Villa Patrizi, Rome

Advantages: Good location, good value for money, polite staff
Disadvantages: Small rooms

Review of Villa Patrizi, Rome

Villa country House Hotel

Advantages: Friendly staff, clean
Disadvantages: Pricey, can have a few problems

My partner, daughter and I stayed at this hotel a couple of times when we go and visit the family up there. From the outside the hotel looked beautiful and clean and looked really big, as soon as i stepped in the doors i was weary but the staff are all nice and always had a smile on their faces. The hotel could do with a bit of a lift inside, the rooms wasn't as big as expected from the outside but was well furnished with all your little pieces ( trouser press, tea/coffee etc) The restaurant was nice with all your traditional food, the waiters and waitresses all know what they are doing and don't mess around, there was one complaint on the next table about a steak wasn't cooked right and the waiter offered to change it straight away, The waiter then came back out and said the steak was all from the same bit lot and it will ...
