Your average underwhelming hotel
Than Thien is your average underwhelming hotel, but you get exactly what you paid for. The rooms are clean enough, though you may have a mosquito or two in the room; shower is functional but running water can be off to a slow start at the beginning. Breakfast is quite small; I personally have never seen spring rolls in miniature triple AAA battery sizes but there’s a first time for everything. Two good things about the hotel is the speedy WiFi connection and the location. It’s situated in the heart of Hue; you can feast on the local delicacies at your leisure

Nice and friendly hotel in a good location.
Hotel staffs are very friendly and caring. Room is good and comfortable. Convenient location to the busiest tourist areas ( restaurans and pubs ) and walking distance to the Bridge. Highly recommend this hotel as it is a great value for money.

Well kept hotel. Good location.
Great spot to see the city from. Rooms are clean and good size. Note that on Expedia they say there are river views but that is incorrect. Only city views.

Great friendly stay
Clean, modern, friendly staff, great stay in the tourist district. Walkable to the main tourist attractions. Only drawback was the hot water in the shower wouldn't last too long. But would definitely go back here.

Very Nice Hotel. Recommend with confidence.
The hotel was really very nice. The staff was friendly (except for the breakfast staff, which were a bit surly). When we checked in, the team was helpful in providing an overview of the city and offering various tours. They were a bit too salesy in doing this and I would have much preferred to go through the options later instead of being presented with all the options at checkin. Despite that, the prices they offered for the tours were fair. We didn't do any of them so we can't review those, but in terms of the prices they offered for them compared to what we found later, they were certainly fairly priced. The rooms were very nice and the shower was good except that the hot water didn't last as long as we would like. We had two rooms. One superior room in the old wing and one deluxe in the new wing. The deluxe rooms are worth the $3 upgrade. They're newly renovated and nicely appointed. The beds were very comfortable and we had some great nights of sleep. We loved the area of the hotel as it was convenient to everything. The restaurant next store, Risotto, was outstanding. They had everything from Italian to Vietnamese food and we loved it so much we ate there three times. Great staff, fairly priced and very good food. We highly recommend that place too. It's two shops over from the hotel. The downside of the hotel if there is one, is the breakfast. The breakfast itself was a bit boring and the same everyday. The food was cold & the staff on both days weren't happy to be thr

Can't believe we paid so little for such a well run and comfortable hotel! I have stayed in hotels for quadruple the price and had a much worse room and service! Great room, bed, shower, service, location and breakfast for a very reasonable price! Perfect for couples visiting or travellers looking for a place to see Hue for a day or two

I booked two nights at this hotel. It is very well located, near a lot of eateries, bars, tour operators, and pharmacist. It’s near the river, and a ten minute walk from the night market which starts at 6 pm. Or a 3 minute walk in the opposite direction where you can catch really beautiful photographs of the sunrise at 5:30 am. The hotel is comfortable, clean and safe. The staff are genuinely friendly, as well as helpful. They speak good English. I could take the lift to my room which was on the second floor. My room was clean and spacious. The bathroom had some basic toiletries. I like to watch TV to wind down, so I was delighted to find an English speaking channel with 24 hour movies on show. Just as everyone mentioned, the breakfast buffet is good. I enjoyed the range of fresh fruit; passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and melon. It was prepared very early in the morning. You could also eat eggs and bacon, or try the Asian style breakfast. They serve some excellent tasty coffee, and tea, and fruit juices. When I checked out, the receptionist saw that I had a long day ahead, and she gifted me a bottle of water which I really needed. I had a great stay at this hotel, and would recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel, convenient to shops, restaurants
Staff were attentive, buffet breakfast was very good, staff were able to assist with room change without difficulty and were helpful with arranging taxi, room was clean and comfortable with good AC and television with good reception. Had a nice view of street and river. Had difficulty with lock on room door and elevator did not access our floor (had to take to 4th floor then take steps down one flight, but not a major problem. Overall, I would recommend this to the budget minded traveller.

Definitely will go back to this hotel. Hue was so much more than we ever expected. Wish we had stayed longer there and spent less time in Hanoi. Good restaurants right next door, beautiful evening walks along the river. Citadel very interesting. Prices are great, especially at the hotel and people are super friendly.

Very friendly and helpful staff
We stayed at the Than Thien Friendly Hotel for 2 nights. The room was standard but clean and comfortable. The only cons I can say about the room was the walls are paper thin and at 7am it was very noisy, also there was an on and off smell of cigarette smoke in the bathroom. Was very odd. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very standard but it did the trick. There was a very delicious restaurant a few doors down called Risotto which served a good mixture of Vietnamese and western cuisine, we ate there both nights. I would stay here again if I went back to Hue.

So so place
Pros: hotel staff is very helpful and it's in a decent location Cons: walls are paper thin so you can hear everything from every floor; beds are very uncomfortable (lots of springs digging in your back); and the general condition of the hotel could use a fresh coat of paint to cover up all the marks on the walls. Overall? I'd give it 3 stars because of the friendly staff. But I wouldn't stay here again because the bed and its springs killed my back.

I dont know why its ranked a 2* .....
This hotel, just the condition of it, is at least a 4 start hotel anywhere in europe or north america. What makes it a 5 start in our opinion is the staff. Best service and staff we have experienced in Asia. The hotel room has a newly renovated and beautiful bathroom, large bedrooms and very comfortable beds. Wifi, tv, ect... All work prefectly. Free breakfast included, also amazing, buffet style + eggs made to order. Overall, 5* plus and would recommend to everyone who needs a place to stay in Hue. You will not regret it.

The hotel is located in a good area. The streets behind the hotel are filled with restaurants and bars as well as shops and travel agencies. Short walk from the river which is very nice after sunset with a market. The room was very clean and hot water plenty. The hotel has an elevator. Service was good and staff quite helpful and social. We booked a day tour at the hotel with a very reasonable price. The tour included almost all the sights and the tour leader was also nice. We took the bus from Hoi An to Hue, and the bus station was across the river so we took a taxi and got to the hotel in like 10 minutes. I was not very happy with the breakfast but it was my personal opinion. The buffet included rice and noodles as well as some dumplings and fruit. They would also make you fried/boiled eggs if you wanted.

Convenient Location and Great Breakfast
I stayed here four nights as I explored the areas sights. The location was very central. It was a short walk to the riverfront and Cham Sculpture Museum. Lots of food choices nearby, bother Vietnamese and western. Room was small but comfortable and clean. Hot water was plentiful and hot. Staff was helpful and friendly. Made to order breakfast, both western and Vietnamese was included. I only opted for the Vietnamese. It was so fresh and delicious each morning. Great value for the cost.

Central location, very helpful staff. Overall happy with the stay. Might help to ask for a room with a real window. Mine only had a window to the hall - and that also meant the inconsiderate people up extra early blabbing in the hallway made it impossible to sleep.
