Rooftop infinity pool with panoramic ocean views (Level 28)
Modern, spotless roomsโit only opened in May 2023
Quieter location in Man Thai, away from the chaotic My Khe tourist center
Quick Take: It's a cookie-cutter Hilton done exceptionally well, but don't expect local charm inside the building.
Reviewed by @tugatana_travel:ย I was obsessed with the floor-to-ceiling windows in our roomโwaking up to that ocean sunrise was unforgettable. The staff made our dinner feel so special, and the location right by the beach is perfect. Honestly, it felt way more expensive than it actually was.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
The hype
Travelers are universally impressed by the value and newness, often comparing it favorably to 5-star properties.
Reality check
The 'sewage smell' in bathrooms is a recurring, albeit intermittent, complaintโlikely due to dry P-traps common in Vietnam.
You need a reliable, western-standard workspace and fast Wi-Fi
You prefer a quiet sunrise over a noisy nightlife scene
You travel with pets (rarely pet-friendly in this tier)
Cleanliness & Maintenance
9.1
Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. Staff are praised for being proactive.
Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, but watch out for the 'dry trap' drain smellโa common Vietnam plumbing quirk.
Maintenance: Immaculate. The hotel is virtually brand new (2023).
Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and new. No 'grey' towels here yet.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh/neutral; rooms are clean unless the drain issue flares up.

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool heated?
No. It is an outdoor rooftop infinity pool and can be quite cold, especially in the mornings or winter months.
Is there a resort fee?
No hidden resort fee, but watch out for the 5% service charge and VAT added to food/drink bills.
Can I walk to the main My Khe beach area?
Yes, but it's a long walk (20-30 mins) south. Most guests take a cheap Grab taxi.
Is breakfast included?

Is there laundry?
Yes, laundry service is available, and some booking sites list self-service facilities, but verify upon arrival.
What toiletries do they use?
Peter Thomas Roth (standard Hilton Garden Inn spec), though some regions are transitioning to Zero%.
Insider Tips
โจ
The 'Yoga Terrace' on Level 28 offers the best free view in the cityโgo at sunrise even if you don't do yoga.
โจ
The on-site convenience store is convenient but pricey; a local Circle K is a short walk away for half the price.
โจ
Ask for a room ending in '01' or '12' for the best corner views (subject to floor plan changes).
