Han Huyen Homestay

Breakfast was fantastic and location was really good, far enough away from the Night(mare) Market but close to town. Bed was comfy. Had an oscillating fan which is nice and big tile shower. Everybody was very smiley and extremely nice. I had food poisoning the night before I left and they were very concerned. The short maid powerlifted my very heavy bag down two flights of stairs before I could even move. It was sight, let me tell you.

The place was very nice, run by a large family, but if you needed anything really, the only one who spoke decent English was the young lady who checked me in. Could be noisy in the evening, little kids howling now and again, the smell of trash burning at night, incense in the morning (sometimes trash) chasing me in off the balcony. The fan was dirty, had never been cleaned, so I dismantled it and cleaned the grill and the blades. I've done this in many Asian hotels. Just can't stand the sight of those furry blades.

The room overall is small but comfortable. The toiletries (they all come in really mini sachets/bottles) were minimal but we could still ask for more when they ran out. Location was really near to the night market & old town (5 mins walk), but yet still quiet. They also do offer tours which you can get at an affordable price. Just take note, the price given by the different person in the homestay can be different. They’ll give you a map to get around the town & also recommended us a tailor. We got ourselves a few good tailored suits from there!
