I booked this hotel as 1/ it was just recently opened 2/looks neat and modern in the photos 3/good location. I booked deluxe room which according to the photos had opening windows with some view and even a balcony door. The photo of the hotel also represents it as a stand alone building. But in fact only 3 rooms on each floor have a view of the street (local slums), and the other 3 sides of the hotel are wall-to-wall construction. When I was shown to my room on the tenth floor, I was shocked that the so-called view is a concrete wall of another hotel, with a terrible smell of concrete and dust. Asked for another room, and it was exactly the same (just a lower floor). Finally, after 3 calls to the manager, the reception agreed to allocate me a superior triple room which faced the street (and it turned out that from 4 am you have to listen to the rooster screams, and dogs barking all night). The pool on the roof which looks so inviting in the photos was covered in dirt and waste, and wasn't completed. The breakfast is passable, but only Vietnamese food is available. The worst past is the area - the hotel is surrounded by 4 -5 construction sites, some of them in the initial stage, so I believe for another year you would have to listen to construction drilling,smell the concrete and breath the dust.
