Thanh Tra Hotel

Tra Vinh


Staying here is a balancing act – get stuck on the lowest floors and adjacent motorbike-workshop noise becomes a morning problem; too high and the shuffle of breakfast chairs will disturb late risers. Go for a high (but not highest) floor though and you have a large, decent, tiled room in an excellent location near the market and river with included Vietnamese breakfast.
