about the venue: Hair of the Dog

Nice place but full of International students on Friday nights. Is it just me, but when the crowd aren't even 18 yet, it creeps me out a little.

But other than that, good place, drinks, decor etc.

about the venue: Dragonfly

Awesome bar, with fantastic mix of dance and hip hop music. You can request songs also, and the DJ is pretty good.

The drinks are so cheap, and the cocktails are fantastic. Not sure why I got a shot of vodka in a normal glass with ice though.

The music is really loud yes, but there are different parts of the whole venue so you can go elsewhere to talk. The dance floor is really small but I still really enjoyed dancing.

Mix of VNese and foreigner's, expats and traveller's.

Lot's of fun. Will most certainly be back

about the venue: Especen Hotel (Tho Xuong)

Good place, very clean and nice bed's/decor etc. I stayed in a big room with one other person and we had a balcony overlooking the street. No street noise either.

One minor complaint though which wasn't as bad as other hotel issues - I had stayed 2 nights, then went down to Hue, and warned them day's in advance I would be coming to stay from 7am Monday morning to 6pm at night just to have a shower/hold my bags until airport time. I arrived at 7am (after they assured me that it will be open) to a closed door (we could see the clerk sleeping inside but couldn't wake him) and we had to wait for 30 minutes outside. Then we checked in, but was told our booking was for the other hotel. We went next door to the other one to a line of 4 groups of people waiting for the hotel clerk to wake up (sleeping right in front of us). I asked next door to call the hotel to wake him up!

Fortunately, everything was ok with our room, and no problems, except it was a small room. When they say small, they mean small. Very very small. I would go mad for a long term stay here.

Overall, excellent on the cleanliness, and good on the service.
