Location

The Hai Yen Hotel has the great advantage of being right on the beach and close to the city.

It is a pretty old hotel and the age and wear shows through in some places more than others. The service was very good but the bedrooms and bathrooms just did not seem as clean as they could be. Perhaps though, this was because of the age. The rooms are very large and spacious but again, nothing special. There is just a lot of room to have to yourself.

The location is quite picturesque on a white sandy beach. The rooms are quiet and either look out on the beach or onto the heart of the city's center. The restaurant is nothing to write home about but decent for a hotel restaurant and has a large amount of selection available. There are two bars and over 110 rooms. The Areca Bar is outdoors and can feel quite nice during the calmer months. It is very easy to walk to the beach area and set up a spot there to enjoy the day from. It is located on Tran Phu Boulevard which has a reputation for being one of the most romantic parts of the city.
