I loved this hotel, it looked fairly new, I hope it stays that way, it was in exceptional condition. The bed was super comfy and the towels are the best I have used in Vietnam. There's a nearby night market if you like eating seafood and the central market is 2 klms away offering all the food you can imagine. I visited the nearby tourist attractions, none of which were more than 7 klms ride away. I would definitely stay here again.
Hôtel récent et très confortable mais désert, isolé, construit au milieu de nulle part. Personnel charmant mais ne maîtrisant pas un mot d'anglais. Bref, un grand moment de solitude. A ma connaissance, le seul hôtel d'Asie où l'on ne peut pas avoir une bouilloire. Je n'ai toujours pas compris pourquoi ! Sachant qu'il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner, la matinée est bien triste.
Dai Loc Hotel is not officially star-rated for administrative reasons (we were told this is because it is located outside the city “ring”), but in practical terms I would place it at about a 3-star level at best.
The hotel is not centrally located, unlike properties such as Vihusa which sit right in downtown Hà Tiên. It also does not have an on-site restaurant, which is a noticeable limitation for travelers who prefer the convenience of dining at the hotel.
That said, the room itself was nice, clean, and appeared newly built, which we appreciated. One downside is the sound insulation—at night we could hear loud music coming from the night market roughly a mile away, which may be an issue for light sleepers.
What truly stood out during our three-night stay was the hospitality of the staff. We got to know most of them, and they were consistently friendly and attentive. A special shout-out to Trân, a young, energetic, and genuinely warm staff member. It’s clear she loves her job and truly cares about the guests, and her attitude made a real difference in our experience.
Would we recommend Dai Loc Hotel over other options in town? We’re honestly on the fence. The clean, new rooms and excellent staff are strong positives, but the location, lack of a restaurant, and noise at night may make other centrally located hotels more appealing for some travelers.
I originally did not want to stay at this hotel, it was our only option in Ha Thien. While the room was below average, the staff was what made experience horrible. We trusted the staff, specifically female receptionist, to get us a ferry to our next destination however, they made a mistake by not double checking and giving us the wrong ferry time. What made matters worse that they cannot own up to their mistake leaving my party and I stranded and scrambling to get to our next destination. We had entrusted the staff with our own money, and they put it straight into their pockets. Needless to say, this is not foreigner friendly, and I highly advise not to stay here. The price is not worth it.
