The biggest trip that I have done, and possibly will ever do in my life. Travelling across much of SE Asia, East Asia, and two popular hot spots in North America gave me a serious case of the travel bug which will definitely be itching me until I'm 50 and get to do it again.

Hong Thien Hotel II- Hue, Vietnam

Address: 46 Chu Van An Street, Hue, Vietnam


Website: http://www.hongthienhotel.com/


USD$8 w/o b'fast, a/c

The sleeper coach bus stopped us right outside this hotel which we'd booked with the previous hotel back in Hoi An which was quite a neat trick! They hurriedly took us up to a room on the first floor (as they had a busload of other tourists to pitch to) and although one of the smallest rooms we've seen so far, with a tiny bathroom to match, it had a sort of cosy air to it and was very clean so we took it up at USD$8 per night without breakfast.
The low ceiling helped make it feel like we were sort of in a hut or hobbit hole, with us having to remember to watch our head everytime we stepped into the bathroom! Cable tv, air conditioning, a fan and wardrobe were provided and altogether it was a nice enough stay. Too bad for the town of Hue though- quite devoid of tourist attractions so we only stayed two nights much to the hotel's disappointment (who never missed a chance to ask us to book a city tour with them everytime we went out/into the hotel).

Overall, a nice/cute time in Hong Thien. Right in the middle of a small cluster of backpacker hostels and a stroll to your usual tourist-aimed restaurants; about 10-15 minutes away from more local eateries.
