The War Remnants Museum, 750 m away, is worth a visit for its outdoor displays of tanks and aircraft from the Vietnam War.

Guests praise the central setting, with cafés and shops close by, and the friendly staff, although language can sometimes be a barrier. Rooms are generally clean and well maintained. The main drawback is noise, since soundproofing is poor, and some guests find the value for money mixed.
