When the travel agent booked us into Universe just a couple of days before our departure for my first visit to Vietnam, I searched reviews for this hotel and was apprehensive enough to forewarn the agency that I would not hesitate to express my negative experiences about their hotel choice and travel arrangement. Surprisingly, the hotel did not disappoint me.... More

Spacious, charmy, and nicely decorated rooms (we booked the deluxe rooms).. BUT ..

Furthermore, as someone already stated.. you can hear people moving furniture, dropping money on the floor or talking as clearly as it would... More

If you do choose to stay here you should know that staff do not speak English. They also tried to charge me for 2 beers I did not drink and... More

Really don't stay here. It's the noisiest hotel I have ever experienced and I have slept in shared dorms. It's an old building so I literally heard everything, not that there was any effort made to be sensitive by the staff. My mornings started with games of move the furniture around in the rooms above, wooden beds on tile floors-horrible... More
