We didn't stay here, but we enjoyed plenty of meals here as it's a great spot for breakfast and or dinner. The menu is western, but if you are craving some fish and chips, good sandwiches etc it is great comfort food and finally somewhere that knows how to make a decent coffee. Starting the day with a plunger of... More

There's a bit of confusion about Barbara's here on Trip Advisor, as the Kiwi Cafe and backpackers moved earlier in 2012, but the site still shows the old address. You'll find the real Barbara's backpackers at 12 An Duong Vuong, just across from the big beach front hotels, The Seagull and Hoang Yen. Sadly Barbara has retired due to some... More

Barbara's has recently undergone a change in management. Barbara herself retired back to NZ due to ill health, which is possibly why the business was suffering over the past few years. The new team are good, they are a family she knew and trained up, and the new manager's name is Loan. I would say come and check it out,... More

5 of us were touring Vietnam and we spent 4 days in Qui Nhon. I loved the place because it has no tourists. My brother and i hired motorbikes through barbaras Place and we visited a remote fishing village that was shown on her wall. Great experience. We stayed in the brand new hotel down the lane next to Barbaras... More

Stayed here for one night while passing through Quy Nhon, not a good experience at all! I could only recommend staying here if your very tight on money, or want to experience sleeping on aluminium slates. The room opens onto the main cafe, which means there's a lot of noise. Not from other people (the place was empty) but the... More

The hotel itself is ok, though the atitude of barbara made me leave after one night. I had just finished breakfast in the ajoining cafe and asked Barbara if I could use the computer for a few minutes, ''No, we don't let random people use it or we would have to start letting every body". She was well aware I... More

Barbara's Kiwi Cafe is not that cheap - no hotel in Quy Nho'n seems to be - but their food is good and their dormroom okay. The beds are good and at 50.000 a lot cheaper than a hotelroom. No A/C - fans only, pretty hot. Downside: the roomdoor exots right into the cafe and doesn't close properly, unless you... More

Quy Nhon is not on the main tourist trail though it should be because it is such a beautiful place. Activities for tourists are limited but as a consequence it is a fantastic location to get away from the madding crowd. Barbara offers budget accommodation for all tastes including private ensuite rooms. The food there is also great with a... More
