Azerai La Residence, Hue

This is worth the 5 stars. The building’s architecture is scenic and fascinating (so is its history), the staff is discrete yet efficient and responsive. The bedroom was spacious, well insulated, the wooden furnitures are beautiful - bonus point for the bathroom which was (not the most high tech) but clean and spacious.The shower was huge. Small daily services are all what makes a hotel a 5 star and not a 4-star, like fruits or cakes in the bedroom, staff preparing the room in the evening on top of the morning clean, a great room service…. Thank you to all the staff for this experience.

The staff were wonderful, friendly, professional and very courteous. Great spa with one of the best massages Fantastic breakfast with a wide choice. Great pool. 30 mins walk to the main hub of Hue - we were happy to be in this location with only 5 mins walk to the train station and about 30 to the citadel.

Wow what an incredible pool! 30-40 mtrs long depending. the building oozes colonial charms and is well maintained..glorious location right on Perfume River (Song Huong) and easy walking distance to many sights, cafes and restaurants. Breakfast staff very welcoming, provided special request mango, assembled excellent pho and as with all the staff provided a gracious hospitality. The concierge Ms Moon was resourceful and friendly...arranging a tour of tombs & surprising us with an anniversary bouquet of roses and sweet treats...the related restaurant Le Circle less than 10 mn walk down the river is splendid with perfect sunset views. Front desk crew and drivers first rate and enjoyed good massage at the spa. For some good local food visit Madame Thu and for upscale dining in a lovely villa across the river is Les Jardins de Carambole. Try the local salt coffee and for great roastery of Vietnamese Arabica (from many areas)...go to Nha Quin..about 7 mn by cab.

Old world charm and resort like feel. The staff are very helpful and kind. It’s an upmarket hotel for Vietnam, fitting the mold of 5 star hotels. For me, this meant I lost some of the local connection to Hue culture. But with the heat, the resort like pool was fantastic and the hotel complex set on two acres by the Perfume River, was wonderful. We took full advantage of the free hotel bikes, venturing out everyday. We also had on site massages-not inexpensive by Vietnamese standards but very good facilities and services. Breakfast is excellent and also having a dining experience in Le Parfum was $$$ but very good food.

We had breakfast and dinner there and the service was good; we particularly liked the dinner in the dining room-good food choices and nice ambience.
