Holiday Muong Thanh Ly Son

A very nice 4-star hotel with professional services. Located between two parks. Mini nightly street food market is just outside the hotel. Good restaurants are only 2 minute walk away. The new dock next door was closed due to low water level. The hotel pool is oddly located at the front across from the main entrance.

I had 2 weekends at the hotel quite well, the staff was very sociable, and there was a power outage for a whole day, the generator was broken, in return the staff took care of us very well, thank you Muong Thanh , and I also enjoyed the food at Hon Ngoc restaurant, right near Muong Thanh, it was great and delicious. Maybe if I come to Ly Son again I will choose to stay in Muong Thanh and come enjoy the food at Hon Ngoc restaurant. gem

I stayed for 3 nights in May 2025 in an Executive Suite Pros: -large and spacious room with separate living room area to the bedroom -wifi speed is generally good, mobile speed tested at over 50mbps although it varies in the room, and upload speed usually over 35mbps. -seaview, although it's more a view of the port where incoming passengers arrive. -glassed off shower separate to the toilet. -bathroom sink is large and spacious. -aircon works well in the room. -sofa to relax on. -they always provided fruit everyday when they cleaned the room, like some kind of Vietnamese apple and mandarins. -receptionists are nice and friendly and try to help. -location is close to the ferry pier, around a 5 minute walk. There are lots of touts though when you first arrive offering transport. -they sell a selection of fresh garlic, honey, garlic powder etc items in the lobby for convenience. Ly Son island is famous for the garlic farms spotted around the island. Cons: -pillow is too high and firm. -black out curtains have a gap at the top section because of the way it is hung, it's not hung to the top so it let's some light in. I guess it's better than having no black out curtains. -the larger rain shower head was spraying the water out, it was a little broken. They probably should replace it. -the water temperature is not consistent. While it is still warm, it goes from say a 9/10 hot to 6/10 warm, back to 7/10 warm and then 5/10 warmish back to 9/10 hot. It's not fully stable. -breakfast isn't that great, very disappointing actually. The cucumber was no good which was a first for me in Vietnam, tasteless, the internal skin was too white and thick outer cucumber skin. They didn't even have salad like lettuce, carrot, beansprout etc. The bread is super dry as well, why can't they make Vietnamese banh mi which is flaky and light? The banh xeo they have is dry and tasteless. The rice is dry and bland. The egg is okay but super oily. Selection is limited as well. There needs to be more Vietnamese choices for the breakfast food and the quality needs to drastically improve. Drinks, cakes and fruits don't get topped up when they run out too. After the first day we decided to skip the included free breakfast and went to Com Hai San Ut Ngoc in town which was so much better. This was the first hotel on my Vietnam trip that was very disappointing in regards to the breakfast. -breakfast finishes too early at 9am. -hotel lobby (and at times the room corridors) is warm because they turn off the aircon to save money i suppose. although a few times they had turned it on but the majority of the time they have it switched off so it feels like a sauna in the lobby. -the swimming pool location is very strange, it's right at the front of the hotel (lobby side) next to the road. So if any ladies want to wear their bikini or guys their briefs, go ahead because it's open season for anyone to look at. you might as well be walking half naked on the street, and i think it's across the road from some kind of school. It's an interesting location to place a swimming pool. I didn't see anyone use it. Most hotels have their pools behind the hotel. Maybe the hotel should build a much higher privacy screen or bushes because the hedge that they have is not even 1 metre high. Anyway in saying all that, it's probably the best hotel on the island since there isn't too much competition for the standard of hotel. Overall rating: 8.3/10

This 4-star hotel is definitely worth 5 stars!! Perfect view over the sea, and well connected to all places of interest on island. Just a few minutes ride from the pier. They have a real good restaurant, international standard with a wide choice of national and international food. Amazing are the spacious rooms. So wonderful. And above all, very kind, helpful, nice staff.

Excellent service and amazing staff! I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the location was very convenient. I would especially like to thank Ms. Hiền for her outstanding service. She was very kind, enthusiastic, and supportive throughout my stay. She took great care of us, always checked in to make sure everything was okay, and helped us promptly whenever we needed anything. Her professionalism and warm attitude really made our experience much better. I am very satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. I will surely come back again!
