We stayed at the Nha Trang Lodge again this year because of its location - the rooms are a bit tired but a nice king size bed and a fantastic view from the balcony...the breakfast was brilliant - gorgeous restaurant with ceiling to floor windows - the beach is just across the road....

There are a lot of nice restaruants around the area within walking distance...we had one meal at the hotel and were the only ones there so not a great atmosphere...the hotel was good value for us at $40US -The staff are helpful - transfers to the airport are 200 Bht with the hotel shuttle- it's about a 40 minute trip. There is a nice pool there but the beach is just across the road and you can rent a sun lounger for 20 baht for the day...they will hold it for you if you decide to go away for a few hours..

My family has just returned fromVietnam a country which fascinating and diverse. During our stay we went to Nha Trang,where we stay at Nha Trang Lodge.This hotel which is supposed to be one of the best, and cost an above average amount on Vietnamese standards. We found the hotel disappointing, although the views from both tthe rooms we had were amazing. The whole hotel needs an upgrade, the carpet was very worn, and scruffy.One of the bathrooms flooded everytime it was used inspite of attempts to stop this.and some of the wood work was starting to show signs of rot.

The breakfasts were average, the omlettes and the pancakes were great.however there were a large number of trainees watching, which can be a little discocerting if you take time to think about it.

The 2 lifts were for everyone, and were very slow it was often quicker to walk the stairs which is what many people did.

The trip to see the islands of the coast organised within the hotel was excellent and so was our trip to the mud baths.

We were booked into the Nha Trang Lodge Hotel as part of organised tour of Vietnam. The hotel brochure describes the place as "the most luxurious and truly exceptional Hotel suitably enhanced with Vietnamese furnishings and artifacts, offering every facility expected by discerning guests". Having stayed at a range of hotels in the Far East, it would be hard to say the Nha Trang Lodge matches the standards which Western tourists would expect. It certainly doesn't live up to its brochure description.
The place was probably once the most impressive hotel in Nha Trang, but that must have been when the place was first opened. There seem to be a number of other newer hotels in the city, with more under construction, which are better. The lobby and public areas are grand, but not impressive. It reminded us of the sort of architecture and furnishings you would find in any Communist state-owned hotels across the world.
The rooms are clean and comfortable, but are very simply furnished when compared to other quality hotels. Our top floor room had its own small balcony with great views of the beach, sea and offshore islands, which Nha Trang is famed for.
The reception staff were excellent and always helpful - in complete contrast, the restaurant staff seemed like hatchet-faced automotons - who were always to eager to remove your emptied plate the moment you put your cutlery down. The breakfasts were OK, with a reasonable selection of Vietnamese and Western food on offer. However, we preferred to eat dinner out at one of the multitude of restaurants in the tourist area of the city.
While it was clean and serviceable are a place to stay, I would not recommend it when there are other places on offer.

My wife & I stayed at the Nha Trang Lodge Hotel early April 2005. It is conveniently situated right on the Beach front on the main road that follows the beach for miles. The view from our Room on the 12th floor were spectacular, we could see for miles all over the city, over the beach & out to sea.
As most of the rooms have balconies, this made it even more enjoyable, experiencing the views out into the lovely sea breeze.
The largish room was very nice and clean with a HUGE bed (whats bigger than a King?) The TV had many channels with some overseas news & sport etc.
Aircon was working well. The only problem was the bathroom which did not seem to have hot water, luke warm was our best result.
The morning Buffet breakfast (usually included with room) was 'very nice' with full american breakfast available plus all the cereals, breads jam etc. & lots of delicious local fruit!! Tea & Coffee, Not to be missed!!
We had another 2X meals at the Restaurant which was not as enjoyable as it is not a very busy place and you feel very lonely in such a large dining room. Its almost as though you are disturbing the peace to wake up the staff & cook, although the food was fine!
All the other services (room, front desk, safe keeping valuables, etc) were fine.
The Lodge is very well situated right on the beach front with many places to visit and eat at within easy walking distance.
FYI: The airport at Nha Trang is now closed. All flights come in to Cam Ranh Bay and you have to catch a bus or cab into Nha Trang which is about 40kms away. The New road is Very good and you get some really nice views out to sea & through some villages on the way to the city. The small coaches to the city are good value and comfortable.
