Hoan Vu Universe

This hotel was just perfect, a little pricy (around 450.000 dong per night) but with that price you get a nice clean beautiful bright room with a super comfortable bed, big fridge, aircon, and a flatscreen TV that shows good stuff such as Discovery Channel and movie channels for example. Everything in the room including bathroom was clean and not worn down at all like the hotel/guesthouse rooms we are used to. Only two little things we thought would need improvement: the bed itself is not attached to the bed's head end and so when you lean your back against it it tilts back a little bit and lifts the attached side tables up which makes them slam to the ground when you stop leaning. The other thing is that when we went there there were quite a lot of tiny tiny ants running beside the walls. We simply just went and bought a little spray can of insect poison and sprayed the ants, and that was problem solved. We have had ants in many other hotels too so that wasn't a big deal. Buying the spray and taking it with you is an easy and cheap solution I recommend because from our experience ants are pretty common thing to find in your room in these countries. The hotel has big balconies on the first and second floor, which you can go to admire the beautiful scenery of red sand dunes on one side and sea view on the other. Be careful with the strong wind tho! The location of the hotel we though was nice and quiet, almost no traffic and away from the main strip hustle. However you need a scooter to get to places. We got ours with a good price of 7$ per day from a green colored hotel nearby on the same street. If you book online, pay really good attention on what site the booking has been made through. I think ours was via Agoda to Bookings.com, and even tho you give your card details they do not charge anything from your account, you have to pay at the hotel. We and one other couple had some misunderstanding with that because we thought we had already paid, but the hotel lady tells you otherwise. Always make sure if anything has been charged from your account before you start arguing with them. If you want your room to be cleaned let them know at the reception. We would've loved to stay longer in Mui Ne but the wind was absolutely crazy strong! I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a good value for your money.
