티모시 홈스테이 - 후에(Timothy Homestay Hue)

Huế city is always in my bucket list to visit… Finally I got a chance to visit it this time after my Ho Chi Minh City trip. I was so lucky to found a place felt like home named Timothy Homestay at last minute decision. The location is quite far from airport however welcoming us by a warm smile from the owner Mr Kỳ and Ms Ngọc made all worth it. We arrived to the Homestay quite late but they were patiently and smiling waiting for us… During our two day stay, they genuinely cared and wanted us to have a happy, safe experience in Hue. The Homestay itself is a beautifully decorated mansion, reasonable price, breakfast included, bicycle for free to discover the city… The room was clean and comfortable, the bed was a little hard but we did not mind this. On top of that we were treated to amazing meals, drinks where the food was plentiful, tasty and delicious. If you are looking for a cool Homestay with very friendly people in a quiet area. I would recommend you this place.

When we read the other reviews about how fabulous this place is we felt we were in a parallel universe. The homestay photos on TripAdviser & *********** don’t reflect current situation. Lovely welcoming hosts. Style idea (Parisian) good and probably was nice when first built. Cheap laundry service (no ironing). Clean (but poorly maintained). Communal areas OK, carpets quite worn but the room we had was very poor - damp on ceiling, rock hard beds, cups but no kettle, hole in the bathroom wall where a window should be, wall paper stuck together with cello tape. Small bathroom basically a wet room with hand held shower. Located 15 minute drive (1 hour walk) from central Hue, in a residential area with no facilities. We’re regular travellers in Asia and the accommodation was more basic than many hostels we’ve stayed in. We wouldn't stay again.

Hit The staff were friendly and kind. The room was clean and the laundry service was great Miss The location was at least 3-4km out of town and you would need a moped to get around. We hired a moped from Timothy's which was an expensive rate for the age of the bike but had to get air put in the tyres. This was commented on by local Vietnamese. The room we stayed in lacked facilities of a fridge and hairdryer . The bed was extremely hard which made it difficult to sleep. They forgot to service the room one day and provide water.

Lieu tenu et géré par un couple très charmant et aux petits soins, les plus minutieux. La femme, Ngọc, n’a pas hésité à me conduire en personne manger le meilleur bún bò Huế de la ville, du chè pour le dessert et suggéré des adresses où l’on mange excellemment bien pour pas cher du tout. Ils ont à cœur d’offrir une expérience unique, authentique et humaine du séjour, c’est indéniable. Ngọc m’a également emmenée dans un très bon institut de beauté pour un décrassage dans les règles de l’art après un long trajet en moto, et m’a préparé un délicieux petit déjeuner qui m’a rappelé les attentions de ma propre famille. Je leur en suis énormément reconnaissante, et recommande chaleureusement leur établissement, les yeux fermés.
