Eldora Hotel

Our travel agent booked us this hotel, and it is gorgeous! Everything was clean and the rooms are very spacious with great decor. Location is awesome. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I love that they let you borrow umbrellas for those raining days. Their breakfast buffet, so good! Would love to stay here again if we visited Hue again!

Such a beautiful hotel to stay when you’re in Hue. The room was incredible (see the video), breakfast was excellent and a lot of choice. The swimming pool is huge and they have a magnificent terrace. Special thanks to Nghĩa who made our stay unforgettable!

We stayed at this hotel during our recent trip to Vietnam. The accommodation was very lush and comfortable. The hotel had a restaurant attached and it was here that we met the lovely young waitress Hang. She is such an asset to this hotel as her English is exceptional and she made us feel very welcome. The buffet breakfast was beautiful as was the meal that we ate in the restaurant.

Nice European design hotel. Room is big and clean. Breakfast options is a lot and great. Only draw back is the noise isolation is not good, can hear the wind sound from the room.

Centrally located and walking distance to many restaurants and shops. We took a day trip to palaces, mausaleums, and several other places. We were with Gate 1 tour group, so don't know about prices of hotel and breakfast, as those items were included in price of trip. This is the largest bathroom we've had on this trip, but the shower was in same partition as toilet with no curtain or divider, so after a shower, one has to use the towel to clean the water up from the floor. Also, we were told by our tour guide that the hot water is very hot but didn't tell us about the hot water pipe, where one can burn themselves if they accidentally touch it while trying to turn the handle. He also told us the shower and bath floor is very slippery when wet and they have shower mats and rubber slippers to use, but one must be careful. Not sure why it was designed this way Our room had no view except to see a wall 5 feet away, tho the bed was firm and comfortable, just like we like it! The buffet bkfst had a large selection of offerings, but unfortunately most were not to our tastes like previous hotels had, and what we did eat was not hot (pancakes/waffles), nor cold - cut fruits, juices and milk (for cereal), tho they did have ice to put in the glass b4 getting the juice, but only 2 selections. There was a heat lamp to keep some of the food warm, but it wasn't turned on. Service was good as far as front desk and restaurant staff, which is all that we needed.

Beautiful rooms and friendly staff. The noise isolation in the rooms are not perfect but in the higher floors it is not a problem. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet a lot. We felt the location was good enough to have a walk close to the river in the evenings.

We spent 5 nights at the Eldora as the mid point of 12 week tour of SE Asia. On arrival the reception team were most welcoming and friendly. We were given two room entry cards (always a good sign) and then escorted to our room where we were taken through all of the controls and facilities , including a warning that the hot water runs very hot (which was true no matter what the time of day or night). The room was beautifully furnished with large twin beds, comfortable pillows, a table, two chairs, a well stocked mini bar, complimentary water replenished daily and plenty of storage space. The bathroom had both a walk in shower and roll top bath. Great for a luxurious soak after a day of walking around the city. In addition there was a large safe in the room, just perfect as I was travelling with a MacBook and camera. We only took breakfast in the restaurant as we had already planned dinners out. The staff were very friendly and attentive making sure we wanted for nothing. The food was plentiful and varied, covering every dietary requirement. Omelettes were freshly prepared, the danish pastries were delicious and the coffee sting and hot. Reception provided an umbrella on the evening it was raining. They also arranged an English speaking driver and car to take us around 3 of the Emperor’s Tombs on one day. Even with the entry costs and tip at the end of the tour this worked out much cheaper than a group tour booked locally or online. This meant we could go around the tombs (and they are much more than just one building) at our own pace, enjoying the environment too. Reception mentioned that our driver Nin had limited English which we were happy to accept, but he actually spoke very good English, telling us about the sites visited, the countryside we passed through and also about his family and Vietnamese life, particularly during the time of Covid and the impact that has had on tourism. A big thank you to everyone that made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. Apologies I didn’t get the names of individuals to post here but you all did a fantastic job.

This hotel is exceptional and a great choice for travellers visiting the imperial city of Hue. From the front desk through the spa and the rooms, luxury is not the only trait that shines but also elegance. The design reminds me of the Plaza hotel in New York. On the other hand, I’d like to suggest ways to improve: it is a bit uncomfortable that the bathroom is only separated by a see-through (and hear-through) curtain, which makes the experience somewhat unpleasant. Though the breakfast was lovely, a factor that reduced my enjoyment was the background music. It was a nice relaxing tune, but the problem stems from the constant repetition of the 5-minute song.
