Ideal Hotel Hue

The staff are very friendly and helpful. They made several phone calls for us to rent the motorcycle.

This property is right on the edge of the backpacker / European tourist hotel / night club district in Hue. The district is blocked off from Hue's crazy traffic in the evening so you can stroll without much care at being run down by a motorbike. It is a couple of blocks from the river with access by foot, if you are brave, across the two bridges to The Citadel. If you need to have breakfast with Europeans or are looking for continental fare, you are in the wrong hotel. The Ideal seems to cater to Asian tourists. A large party of Vietnamese were all over the small breakfast room the morning after I arrived. A frequently changing staff were uniformly friendly and accommodating to my lack of any effective Vietnamese language skill.

Great hotel great location but if you have little ones or go to bed early make sure you get a room in the back because the music at walking Street in front is quite loud, but it does go down at 11 and then it stops at midnight Also, this walking street is perfect for families. There were lots of children running around as well.
