Superb, historic hotel. Centrally located in the Old Quarter. Property is well-maintained. Front Desk staff are all friendly and attentive, including Ngoc (Pearl) on night shift. Breakfast is excellent with lots of options. Liou and other staff at Spice Restaurant are really taking good care of us. Room is elegantly designed retaining the French charm and modern amenities.

Tôi chưa có dịp nghỉ tại khách sạn này nhưng đã vài lần ghé để uống nước ở quầy bar phía trong nhà và cả khu vực vỉa hè, chất lượng đồ uống ok so với giá trị, thực ra cơ bản là về vị trí và cảm giác khi bạn tiêu tiền nhiều hơn mức bình thường, nâng cảm xúc lên chút cũng là điều nên làm. Kiến trúc Pháp này đương nhiên là rất cuốn hút với mọi người yêu thích chụp ảnh.
