New Wave Vung Tau

The rooms were quite spacious, and the bathrooms was not bad. The swimming pool was rather large, and well maintained. Also, the hotel was pretty close to the beach. Checkout procedure was pretty smooth.

There are many problems with this property. It advertises as a 4 start hotel, but is nothing close to that. The first day a rat came into our room. When I informed staff about the rodent (via my smartphone as most speak little English) he didn't seem surprised at all. They wanted to put us next door, but my wife was not happy about this and they eventually upgraded us. The air conditioning is also very dirty, so the rooms smell strange. That is not a problem in itself, but this cause my wife to have an ashma attack a few days later (probably there is also fungi in them). While the rooms were pretty clean (not spotlessly clean), the outside, dining area etc is certainly not kept to a high standard (I have often stayed in hostels, and this is not even kept to the standards of many youth hostels). While this is Vung Tau, and you should expect crowds, you should also try to avoid the weekend at this hotel (when everything is teeming with people, and very noisy, as entire families occupy each bedroom). After a few days we had enough of this, and checked out early. We found alternative accommodation for a similar price, and much better conditions. Overall, my advice would be to avoid this hotel unless its the middle of the week, and even then only stay for 1-2 nights (and, do NOT expect 4 star conditions, but 1-2 stars).
