Find Hotels in Thanh Hoa / Sam Son Beach, Vietnam

A very nice resort in Sam son, near Thanh Hoa. We stayed there for the last 3 night. Very nice and quiet. Buffet breakfast is very good with diverse selection. Dinner is a la cart; and not so good. We had to wait for 15 min to get a Pho soup. To eat outside we had to get the electric car to go to the gate and take a taxi to town which is quite far away. There are multiple pools at the resort. There is only one warm water indoors but not publicized There is a infinity pool in the Grand hotel section which is quite nice. The hotel has hot sauna and steam room facility near the gym (in Grand Hotel section). in our "Luxury building all the room are ocean view, and the elevator doesn't work. In all, this is real nice resort and we will come back.

Beautiful landscape located right at the beach but the beach is under construction so we had to take electric car to another beach nearby or swim in the swimming pools. Met a nice electric car driver who took us go forward and backwards for 3 days and suggested a nearby , good , very fresh and reasonable restaurant named Thai Linh ( 19 Hai Bà Trung str. ) Nice stay that changed our not good impression about Sam Son beach 10 years ago.

It's far from Sam Son Beach, but in the center of Thanh Hoa city. We went by car, so it takes 15 minutes from the hotel to the Sam Son Beach. Not much trees around the hotel, so you feel it's hot if you walk outside the hotel. The swiming pool is on the ground. The hotel arranges the parties for local residents, so the hall, restaurant & reception area are so crowed and noisy. The breakfast here is good, especially for noodle. Valuable money, cleaness, nice staff

Khách sạn khá ok với hai bể bơi. Tuy nhiên, bể bơi ở gần biển hơi bẩn. Khách sạn hoi xa trung tâm nên phù hợp với gia đình đi xe riêng hoặc cần nơi yên tĩnh. Nước biển đục. Bãi biển khá bẩn với nhiều rác. Buổi chiều tắm dễ bị đá làm đau chân. Buổi sáng khi thuỷ triều xuống thì tắm thích hơn. Đồ ăn có thể ra chợ ở bãi biển (buổi sáng) mua về thuê làm. Giá theo cân (20-30k/cân) + 200k công phục vụ. Nói chung tạm ổn. Nhà hàng thì ra Thanh Dinh cách đó 200m: ngon, bổ, rẻ.

I didn't expect much from my trip to Thanh Hoa but it turns out to be a really good one. The stay at Lam Kinh hotel is very comfortable. The room is spacious, clean with very comfortable bed and well-equipped. The staff is very nice and helpful. Everything is good and I don't have anything in mind to complaint. There's just one thing to notice that the hotel is about 15km from the beach, thus it'll be a little bit inconvenient if you don't have a private car. The road commuting from the hotel to the beach is in good condition.

My boyfriend and I were just stopping over in Thanh Hoa for one night on our way to Vinh, so we decided to stay at this hotel based on its central location and positive reviews. We booked a standard double room and when we arrived at the hotel the receptionist confirmed that it was a double room we wanted. But when we got to our room, it was a twin room. The room itself was okay, it didn't have a window but was quite spacious and at first glance seemed quite clean. However, as we started to unpack I discovered that part of the floor, wall and table were teeming with ants. This, combined with the bed situation, prompted us to go back to reception and request to change to a double room. The receptionists spoke very, very little English (which I did find unusual for a 3 star hotel) but they eventually managed to communicate to us that a double room would cost an additional 70, 000 VND, which we agreed to pay. The double room was much larger and ant-free. The bed was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was also large. The bathroom initially appeared a bit grubby, but this turned out to just be some wear and tear rather than dirt. The following morning we went down to the restauarant for breakfast. The food on offer was limited and unappealing, but what made it entirely unpalatable was that most of what was on offer was completely crawling with ants. The bread, the fruit, the fruit juice and coffee were infested. Vietnam's climate means that it is almost impossible to entirely eradicate insects, and having lived here for almost two years I am no stranger to ants, which are particularly persistent. But this was completely unacceptable for an hotel, and the staff didn't seem to be remotely fazed by the problem. I have stayed in countless hotels and guesthouses of varying standards during my time in Vietnam and never encountered this extent of infestation. I would not recommend staying here - there is no shortage of alternaive accommodation available in Thanh Hoa.

On arrival the reception was not very friendly. The reception area is cold. There is air conditioning in the rooms but it only blows cold air not hot. First room we were given had paint flaking off the walls and the toilet had not been cleaned. We were given another room this was better but again the air conditioner only blows cold air. Thanh Hoa is a colder part of vietnam and rooms need to be heated. As you exit the lift and walk to your room one side of the hallway is open to the outside air making the walk cold and unappealing.

We got a taxi from Thanh Hoa for the 20km trip for an affordable 270 000 dong through what seemed like hundreds of acres of flat farmland. Suddenly we were surprised by an enormous complex standing alone on the edge of a small village. Entering it was a surreal experience as there were probably 60 - 80 contemporary bungalows that all appeared empty. It was several minutes before we saw another person near the reception. The restaurant area was clean and the food decent. The accommodation on the other hand was stunning, our room was massive, it was immaculately clean, light and airy and had new furniture throughout. The beach was a few steps away and beautiful. I don't know why the resort was empty as English was not understood well by the staff but this hidden gem won't be empty as word of mouth spreads as it is beautiful and looks to be improving further with the ongoing building works.

The hotel is completely disorganized. Looks like all the staff went on vacation during the public vacations. They don't understand their job. It took more than one hour to check in. The "restaurant" is actually a canteen where you walk on the remains of the previous customers' meal. Very very far from four stars. The cleanliness of the room leaves to be desired as well with plenty of fingermarks all over the TV and hair left around on the floor. The amusement park in the street is also very noisy at night and the windows are not enough to block its noise. Ah! The air conditioning does not work if you close the curtains as they are in front of it... On the good side the hotel is in front of the beach which, as is customary in Vietnam, has a lot of rubbish on it...
