Although my title is perhaps somewhat negative, A74 has a loveable charm and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would return here again. In addition, having searched the island for cheap accomodation I believe this is the best value hotel you will find.
The hotel is in some respects a little 'tired' and needs some renovation. For example whilst the room was spacious and comfortable there were obviously faults; mould creeping up the window, door into the bathroom didn't close, TV didn't show a clear picture, AC took a long time to cool down the room, bathroom window didn't close properly letting in ants and lizards and the bathroom, decor looked like it had stepped out from austin powers and cracks in tiling. Given the number of hotels now popping up all over Phu Quoc the quality/quantity of competition is increasing, and thus A74 should invest some resources into bringing the hotel up to standard. Most aspects should all be simple to improve upon so with little work this hotel could be a gem!
The location was perfect, a 2 minute walk to the beach, good sunset views (especially with the rooftop terrace to watch the sunset) and a 10 minute walk to the night market in the town. Hotel is surrounded by some very expensive hotels/resorts and thus has numerous restaurants to choose from, spas to use and if you are sneeky you can quite easily get away...Although my title is perhaps somewhat negative, A74 has a loveable charm and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would return here again.

What made my stay here shine was the amazing receptionist, he was absolutely lovely, as were the rest of the staff. This guy imparticular though spoke very good English and made every trouble he could to ensure that my stay was a happy one including giving me a very good deal on the room. I felt very looked after and will remember him as perhaps the nicest person I encountered in Vietnam.More
