This is the hotel we stayed in in Vi Than. Like so many buildings in Vietnam to make use of the small size of the lot the buildings are narrow and tall. Another unique feature of the hotel, and quite a few buildings we saw, is the fact that the first step up to the hotel is about half a meter tall making it hard to step up to. So there is a ramp which I thought was to help you step up but it was not well designed or easy to walk on. Then I realized that it was not for people to walk up but to allow the staff or guests to drive their scooters or motorbikes into the lobby/restaurant at night. Kind of like a drawbridge. The hotel was great, for $20 a night, and as usual the cheaper the hotels the better the free internet. I have marveled all the way across Europe and Asia how the higher priced hotels want you to pay outlandish rates to access the internet.Tuesday, March 16, 2010
