Hi, we stayed at the Binh Minh Sunrise 2 Hotel. It is budget accommodation, but we were well satisfied. Affordable and clean . Hair dryer and bar fridge in the room. Good, tasty breakfasts. Very friendly staff, speaks English well.
Provided professional travel service, arranging affordable private tour of tombs and Thien Mu Pagoda. Within walking distance of the Citadel.
I've got a photo of the room and contact particulars under tips on my Vietnam page if you're interested.
We stayed at the Orchid a month ago. Good security and staff service. Good location and walking distance to every thing. $6.50 massage next door. Hotel is nice wih modern furniture. Has internet service also in the rooms. Can't go wrong. Breakfast was ok.
Brilliant hotel family run and the staff are great, rooms are well furnished breakfast is buffet style nothing fancy...The front is few minutes walk away the street is quite, there are some good eating places within a few minutes walk but you have to book are get in before 7.0pp they are very popular with the locals as well as tourist ..I have stayed there three times and I will be there on 2 to 3 rd of December book early and yes $35 is above the average but you only get what pay for there are "hotels" for $10 just off the front which I would say fine for backpackers but not if you want a decent night sleep, if your there at the same time let me know..
I stayed at Orchid hotel from July 2 to July 5, 2008. It's a very nice hotel,quiet, room is spacious, nicely furnished and equipped. Only one detail:When we first entered the room only I could detect a musty smell(my husband didn't notice it) which did go away after we stayed for one day. Staffs are very friendly. We walked from the hotel to citadel and it took us maybe 30 minutes each way. I would highly recommend on your way back to stop at restaurant Lac Thien (corner of Dinh Tien Hoang and Le Loi) for banh khoai a specialty of Hue (note: there are 3 restaurants next to each other and their name all starts with Lac). I liked nem lui of Thu on the wheels (I believe it's on Hung Vuong street). At the hotel, you can ask for Bun bo Hue for breakfast and it's quite good. In general, I would recommend it. They really try their best to please customers

This is one of the many Royal Tombs located in the surroundings of the city.
A good way to see several is the River Boat Tour (see transportation tips), but I was tired, wanted to see just one, so I chose this, and reached it by motorbike.
It is located 10 kms south of the city, the moto ride takes no more than 20 minutes and costed me 2.5 USD.
Conical hats are one of the most common symbols of Vietnam recognized everywhere. But Hue hats are exceptional. Often called 'poem hats', they reflect the artistic nature of its people.
It's not a simple task to make a conical hat. First palm leaves are collected and left to dry in the sun for a couple of days. Then they are ironed and cut to fit a frame consisting of 16 to 18 bamboo rims. And here is what makes Hue hats exceptional. Between the two layers of leaves the artisan puts some pictures or poems cut out in leaves or paper. When held against the light, the design becomes visible.
The pass lying on Highway 1 on the border between Thua Thien - Hue and Da Nang provinces. Whenever one goes through Hai Van Pass, two feelings are experienced: amazement at passing through the clouds and fear when seeing the dangerous bends of the road.
A 21 km-long road over Hai Van Pass, winds back and forth to a height of 435 metres above sea level. With sudden curves and blind corners, Hai Van Pass is likened to challenging drivers' skills. Its name means "Pass of the Ocean Clouds," since the peak of the mountain is in the clouds while its foot is close to the sea. From the top of Hai Van Pass, one can admire Lang Co Beach to the north and Danang to the south.
Rent a bicycle for about $1 a day. It's a nice way to view the perimeter and surrounding neighborhoods of the Citidel. The streets are shaded by trees, making for a pleasant afternoon ride. You can rent a bicycle at any guesthouse or restaurant in the city.
The Fuji Japanese restaurant is a top class restaurant inside the posh Imperial Hotel... definitely on the expensive side, but very well worth the money for first class sishi and sashimi, prepared by a true Japanese chef.
You can choose to eat at western tables or at japanese tables, like we did. In this case, remember to remove your shoes before stepping on the platform where the tables are located. Perfect sashimi... once you try it prepared by a professional, you'll notice the difference: cut in the right way, the taste is sublime... and quite different from the way it would taste if you had cut the fish yourself... sashimi is definitely an art.
The sushi was great too... we had salmon sushi and eel sushi (in the photo) - by far the best I have ever tasted.
