West Hotel is an amazing place to stay. It is in a beautiful part of town, where you can walk out and immediately see a culturally rich street full of freshly caught fish, many types of fruits, not many tourists, and friendly people. The service was amazing as well. We wanted to go to the floating markets, but wanted to take a private boat (instead of a touristy boat), just me and my boyfriend (and the boat driver). West Hotel was able to accommodate this request with flying colors. Not only were they able to get us a friendly boat driver who would take us out at 4:30am until 11:30am, but they had a delicious breakfast ready for us at this time as well. We went to the floating markets, a fruit garden, a noodle factory, and more. It was absolutely wonderful.
The only concern we had while staying at this hotel was nothing to do with West Hotel, but a problem that has been occurring with Hotels.com throughout our two weeks in Vietnam. For every hotel that we've gone to, there's been some sort of issue where the hotel is unable to see our Hotels.com booking because it is not going through from Hotels.com. Luckily, we just show them our booking confirmation once we get there and after waiting about 10 min or so, we are accommodated by the hotel....but Hotels.com really needs to fix this. If the hotels are all booked, they might not have been able to accomodate us. I recommend calling hotels booked through Hotels.com in advance to make sure they are aware of your reservation.
