Fodor's Expert Review River Hotel
Tran Hau, Ha Tien, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Ha Tien's only four-star hotel, in a prime location on the river, is understandably proud of counting Vietnamese and Cambodian prime ministers among its guests, and its seven floors have a small swimming pool, a restaurant, and a dance club. Rooms are spacious, neat, and clean, with little sitting areas and marble-tiled bathrooms, some with bathtubs. Throughout the hotel there's liberal use of plastic plants, which isn't actually as kitschy as it sounds.
PROS
- a step up from some of the more basic options in the Mekong Delta
- good amenities
- some rooms have river views
CONS
- limited English requires a degree of patience
- slightly sterile feel
- expensive for what and where it is
