Galliot Hotel, Vietnam, Nha Trang, Review of the Hotel

пляж Нячанга Отели

When we were preparing for our trip to Vietnam, we, as usual, used our favorite hotel booking service booking.com, which, in general, always impresses with its prices. We always consider our vacation from the perspective of an average traveler, preferring a combination of comfort and price, avoiding overtly cheap or expensive options. This time, while reviewing hotels and reading reviews, we chose a fairly good budget option – the Galliot Hotel.

Considering that in Nha Trang, almost all hotels lack private beaches (since the beach is a public one), we immediately ruled out the first and second lines. While considering options, we immediately singled out Galliot Hotel as the most suitable one. Naturally, the final decision was made only after studying the experiences of previous travelers by reading reviews about the hotel, including those on booking.com. We will share our experience in this article. By the way, if you’re interested in how to book hotels on Booking.com, read this article.

How to get to Galliot Hotel in Nha Trang

Nha Trang Airport Nha Trang Airport turned out to be not very crowded

We arrived in Nha Trang late in the evening, around 8:00 PM. Right after exiting the airport, you can choose your transportation option – bus or taxi. Unfortunately, we chose the bus, paying 150,000 VND, 50,000 VND per person.

I recommend taking a taxi, which will be slightly more expensive, especially if you’re traveling in a group. You can negotiate for 250,000 — 300,000 VND and they’ll take you directly to the hotel.

The bus drove quickly, overtaking all moving objects, including taxis. It barely slowed down on turns and bounced when hitting potholes or road imperfections.
The distance from the airport to the hotel is about 35 km. And here’s the main reason to choose a taxi: Vietnamese people hardly speak Russian or English, and if you thought you’d be able to explain where you need to get off – you’re mistaken. Without a piece of paper with a description or a map indicating the street intersections, they won’t understand you, no matter how hard you try. Fortunately, we always carry a local map on our smartphone, and after a bit of a struggle, they told us where to get off. After that, we walked about 20 minutes to the hotel. At least we got to learn a little about the area. This concluded our arrival story successfully.

Room

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted at the reception and escorted to our room. The room turned out to be very cozy and spacious. Despite having booked a standard room, which did not mention a window in its description, the room did indeed have one. However, it did not face the street but instead opened into a ventilation shaft, yet light still came into the room.

Regarding our opinion on the reviews of the hotel:

  • The staff was indeed very friendly and responsive.
  • The soundproofing was about average for most hotels. You could hear what was going on in the corridor, the doors slamming, and the Chinese guests waking up. It didn’t bother us much because we were out and about all day and would just fall into bed at night. People with sensitive hearing or sleep issues might want to bring earplugs.

Breakfast

  • Breakfast was quite varied: there were porridges, vegetables, fruits, tea, coffee, eggs, sausages, rice, stewed potatoes, pasta, and juices.
  • A buffet is available for all guests.
  • There’s enough to have a hearty breakfast and not worry about food until lunch.
  • When checking in, each guest is given a coupon, and each morning it is marked.
  • It is not allowed to take food to your room, as is common everywhere, and there are penalties for doing so.

Service and Ratings

Housekeeping was done every day, and the quality was standard for Asia. Don’t expect the room to be cleaned to perfection.
Every day, you get two complimentary 0.33-liter bottles of water, and there’s also a bar with reasonable prices, not more expensive than in stores.

The hotel has excellent reviews from visitors:

  • Overall score: 8.7
  • Cleanliness: 8.9
  • Comfort: 8.7
  • Location: 8.6
  • Amenities: 8.4
  • Staff: 8.9
  • Value for money: 8.7
  • Free Wi-Fi: 8.5

What guests like most about the hotel is the staff, location, and cleanliness. Toiletries are updated daily.

Beach

The beach is about a 10-minute walk from Galliot Hotel, and there are no free sunbed tickets at the hotel. The hotel is located in the heart of the European quarter, with many cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby. It is also very convenient to get to various sights of Nha Trang. For example, to the Vinpearl amusement park, it takes about 10 minutes by taxi.
The Russian information center is nearby, and there are many companies offering tours. You won’t find exchange offices, but currency can be exchanged in shops, we exchanged ours at a jewelry store on the corner. Be careful, Vietnamese can easily overcharge you. Always check your change before walking away from the cashier. It’s common for them to not give back the right amount, and after some protests, they calmly return the rest, as if nothing happened. Be cautious. =)

Overall, the vacation was excellent – we went to the sea every day, took excursions, visited sights, ate delicious food, and had a great time. I recommend the hotel for booking.
