| Comments: Room with 2 double beds, nightstand, MTV, fan, and WC with hot shower, sit-down toilet, and sink. Bath towels and toilet paper are provided. 2-day and 3-day Ha Long Bay tours arranged through Kim Cafe in Hanoi overnight at this hotel. Food served at Thanh Tung is the worst in Vietnam. Even the tea smells and tastes like dishwater. Room windows and vents lack screens, allowing mosquitoes to come eat at night. | |||||||
