Charming Riverside Hotel

Really great stay, the staff were so friendly and kind. They were incredibly helpful too! The rooms were clean and tidy and the beds were very comfy. Really easy to get anywhere in the city from the hotel too. 10/10 would recommend, the hotel and staff made our time in Hue really wonderful- thank you!

Good for very short stay like 1 day or so. Not too many eating joints nearby though. Rooms were basic but fine. Bathroom was quite cramped. Beds were fine but the closet was very small. Shampoo and body wash was provided, so it was value for money.

Such a cute little place by the river. Comfortable beds and super clean. They no longer provide breakfast but there’s a sweet bakery and Pho place within a short distance. Staff was helpful. Hope to be back some day

This hotel is beyond charming. So much attention to every little detail which all added up to the most wonderful hotel stay I've had in Vietnam. Before reaching Purple Hue, I'd been traveling from Saigon to Hanoi, further north and now back South. I've stayed at all different types of hotels, most of which I'm really happy about until I reach Purple Hue Charming Riverside Hotel, which to me is the best of what hospitality could mean. Upon booking, I thought, what a difficult name for a hotel? After a week's stay, I appreciate the truth in advertisement and there's no better way to describe it. It definitely charmed me and stole my heart in the process. First, the room is immaculately clean. Literally spotless. The furnishing is simple but so elegant. All features in the room work and are well positioned and designed. TV has lots of good English channels as well as VN, French, Korean and Russian channels. Laundry came back fast, cleaned and beautifully folded in the eco-friendly and beautiful bag provided. The room even came with 2 purple umbrellas, which was a life saver as I was there during the monsoon season. Bathroom comes with high quality toiletry, including this toothpaste that I considered stealing because it was so good. Bathroom also comes with a squidgy to clear water after shower as I do not like to step onto a wet floor. It even has a curtain to separate shower from the toilet, a feature most appreciated by me and I couldn't help but wonder why no other hotels do this?! Because they are NOT Purple Hue Charming Riverside Hotel. And the staff. This is where the hotel's magic is. I was always greeted by the most beautiful smiles and kindest of hearts. Always there to help, to share in my excitement from meandering around this gorgeous city, to give me tips to the best food (the first recommendation Uyen gave me ended up being my breakfast place everyday I was there), best places to go, etc. One night, there was a sound of an alarm of some type. I called Uyen, who was actually off duty. Before I could hang up the phone, the front desk staff is already at my door (I was on the 4th floor) to assure me that it was a false alarm. Within 45 more seconds, silence returned. This kind of service is simply amazing. And sitting on my balcony watching the sun rise over the city or set over the Perfume River, that's pure poetry that I do not have words to describe. Now that I am sitting on the beach in Hoi An, my heart and mind wander back to Purple Hue Charming Hotel. I HIGHLY recommend it. You'll have an experience that you will want to remember fondly for the rest of your life.
