Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Van Thuy, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request

The hotel's location in Kon Tum, a city surrounded by hills and forests, means that street noise is likely to be minimal, but higher floors will still provide a more peaceful experience. Additionally, the elevator only goes up to the 3rd floor, so being on a higher floor means you'll have a shorter wait or no wait at all.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance ( likely to be on the ground floor) as there may be a higher volume of staff and delivery traffic during the day.
Best views
