I'm sure this hotel was stellar when it was first opened. With in years due to poor maintenance it started to lose its charm. So, general review score reflects the situation. After nicely asking our room was upgraded/changed due to a fresh paint odor. Location of the hotel is quite OK. If you prefer to stay closer to the airport this is a nice option. In case you need to go to downtown you can easily use public transportation lines. There's a convenience store in walking distance. Staff is friendly and helpful.

This was the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The first was five years ago, I had a wonderful experience. The more recent visit was good but not as I remember. The room I stayed was a little outdated. Finally there is no parking at the hotel. I had to pay for parking across the street. Overall I still liked my experience, and would not mind going here again.

This is like a motel 6. Everything is outdated. No sound proof. You can’t really lock the door except the amateur bolt lock. The cleaning staff knocked on the door early in the morning & opened the door. Very unprofessional. I only stayed 1 night but it was more than enough. The bathroom & room was old.& outdated. I won’t stay here again

Based on the pictures of the hotel, I expected a lot more from the business, but I was sadly disappointed. When I first walked into the business, I noticed the condition of the hotel appears to have diminished a bit. It felt more like a motel than a hotel. The service at reception was average; nothing to write home about. Unfortunately, this was only a precursor to the quality of the rooms. The online pictures showed the rooms as bright, inviting, and cared for; however, the rooms I received were a stark contrast to those expectations. The rooms were dingy, cramp, a table with a damaged corner, dirty walls with multiple stains, and a whole bunch of scuff marks everywhere around the room. The bathroom was dirty with mold growing in the cracks. It seems there was a lack of care in keeping things presentable and sanitary. For a hotel rated 8.4/10, I expected a lot more from the reputation. Sadly, it seems the rating was more a representation of perhaps their past achievements and not their current performance. It was my last few days in Vietnam and this left quite the sour taste in my mouth. I returned the keys within an hour of receiving the room and left. I found a different hotel that had better quality, better service, and cleanlier than The Alcove

It’s a pleasant little hotel: clean, quiet and a great little cafe downstairs. It’s relaxing but a bit too far from the city centre, we recommend using grab which was an excellent service. The room was a bit too hot for us as we were on the top floor. There is a phố place just down the road which is great and has very delicious soup!
