tugu lombok: "Magical place"
"I remember we arrived at Tugu around 9pm. While checking in two families arrived. They were on the same flight we were from Singapore. Looking all around I exclaimed ""What a beautiful place!""... And the guy next to me replied ""It's a magical place!"" That's what Tugu is. A magical place. It's not a luxury place, it may not be the best hotel you've ever been! But it may very well be an experience you will never forget. We enjoyed the Villa, the different places where we had dinners, the beach, the excursion to the Gili islands and overall we enjoyed the people. Thank you for let us fell so well! "Villa Song: "Superb boutique haven"
"A wonderful boutique hotel away from the madness of district 1. The option of a shuttle boat along the river into the heart of the city is a nice touch. Either eating or drinking out on the patio area of a evening with the boats quietly winding their way down the river is a superb setting to while away a few hours with the high rise buildings of the city lit up as your backdrop. Other reviewers have commented on the small portions at breakfast. Whilst we both love our food we did not consider the portions too small. However, as the management have commented the staff I am sure would only be too happy to serve addional helpings if requested. All in all a great option for a stay in HCMC."Nimmu House: "Nimmu the hidden gem of Leh"
"I arrived in Leh with family travelling from Delhi, Nimmu house is a charming heritage boutique hotel approx 45mins from town and airport, surrounded with apricot & apple trees in a picturesque setting. On arrival the reception greeted us as family, very friendly and caring of our well being in acclimatising to the mountains.The air was fresh, water clean the beds very comfortable. Wifi is free, as to be expected in Ladakh it does not always work. I found it to be a great escape after being in Delhi, the first thing i noticed apart from the great beauty of the mountains was the fresh air and friendliness of the locals. I have also to mention the chef who is outstanding the waiter attentive and caring, the courtyard relaxing with comfortable seating and hammocks I really can not fault Nimmu and hope to return."The Hue House: "Beautiful Gem and Amazing food"
"This place is Gem in Saigon.The Hue House is just amazing place to be, the Hue Cuisine is just delicious food specially Grilled beef with Hue Sauce and Cuon Diep the rolls is just awesome. The service is good and atmosphere is good. Very beautifully designed restaurant and well planned menu. Its the Hue Cuisine food with all different variety to choose from. Got to say one thing on the dot that food is Amazing. Would highly recommend.Must visit place"Reverie Siam: "Fabulous honeymoon stay!"
My husband and I spent 5 nights at this hotel and it was wonderful. The hotel has been opened less than a year and feels immaculate. There are so many positives about this place. The design of the hotel and gardens, the very conscientious staff that make you feel special, the high quality finish of the rooms and the superb breakfasts. The hotel is not crowded and so the swimming pool area is very private we often had the pool entirely to ourselves. A nice touch was a free glass of wine or bubbly during some of our evening meals. There was live music on 3 nights of the five we stayed which we enjoyed. We had a fantastic chef board one evening in the restaurant which was delicious. The only thing that would make this hotel even better would perhaps be spa or massage treatments. There aren't fantastic spas in the area and as the hotel has such pretty gardens that would have been lovely. A wonderful hotel, stay here you won't regret it!Nimmu House: "Wonderfull stay and rest in Nimmu House"
"We had a peaceful, relaxing and perfect experience in Nimmu House. Welcoming staff (Alice is lovely, take care of everything), stunning old house which is still being renovated, tents are all comfort. Perfect place to rest and near not so far from Leh, and from there you can visit western Ladakh monasteries and go for trekking. Food is awesome (the chef works in a French owned restaurant in winter as far as I remember). Best nights we had in two weeks in Ladakh, without any hesitation!"4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Magical"
An amazing place and well worth the travel to get there. Beautiful location, very comfortable and excellent food. We stayed 3 nights. It was lovely swimming in the river, although beware of the changing current. We walked in the forest and canoed around the island opposite.Tugu Malang: "Wonderful stay in a slightly eccentric hotel"
"What an experience!! This hotel was perfect, get the best room you can afford - it is so worth it. The hotel is an attraction in its own right, make sure you take the tour to see the VIP suites and function rooms., the bizarre collection of furniture and nick nacks courtesy of the owners. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and all of the trips we took originated from their suggestions and with their help. The piece de resistance is the full day tour to Mt Bromo with waterfall included, organised and accompanied by front desk staff (amazing). Malang itself is a wonderful indonesian city with first rate coffee shops, a great bird market and some lovely streets to walk down. PS(the free afternoon tea is a must)"Manda De Laos: "Romantic dinner simply divine"
"In the hotel complex Maison Dalabua, the restaurant Manda de Laos is an amazing oasis in the middle of the city. Beautiful garden with UNESCO-classified lily ponds is very nice grouped around a lotus pond (very well kept, in the evening beautiful lit). The cook understands his craft and the service, above the restaurant manager Ambroise S, pay attention to trifles. Special requests are gladly and quickly carried out. As a tourist, you are pleased (rightly!) about a romantic dinner at the lily pond of this very well maintained hotel area. Excellent Lao cuisine, the menus offer a good selection of typical dishes. Everything fresh and excellent quality. The prices are upscale, but appropriate. Staff very friendly, courteous and professional. It is certainly one of the best restaurants in Luang Prabang. Pleasant wine selection. We were very thrilled!"Heritage Suites Hotel: "Best hotel of our trip"
Our guide told us there are 400 hotels in Siem Reap, well I am pleased we stayed at heritage suites. We enjoyed the pick up in the old car and the welcome drink and towels. I had booked the basic room as we did not expect to spend much time in the room and was delighted to to escorted to one of the garden suites. We voted it the best room we had of all the rooms on our trip. The service of the staff was excellent. Enjoyed happy hour and a light lunch by the pool. We booked our tour of Angkor wat through the hotel and it was well worth it our guide was excellent and managed to make the tour as individual as possible and I did not feel one of the masses and his knowledge of the temples and his insight into Cambodia was superb. A wonderful end to our trip around Vietnam and Cambodia my only regret was that we only had two nights .
