Ancient Hue Garden Houses

Excellent Stay with Attentive Service My recent stay at this hotel was very enjoyable. The hotel itself is nice, with a lovely pool that was perfect for relaxing. The service was also excellent; all the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. I particularly appreciated that the staff went out of their way to assist me with some sightseeing information in Hue, which made exploring the city much easier. The on-site restaurant felt like a typical fine dining establishment with a good atmosphere. We booked for two nights and were pleasantly surprised to receive a free afternoon tea. Breakfast was excellent, as it's served à la carte with the ability to order unlimited items. A major plus for car owners is the availability of a parking slot right in front of the hotel. However, it's worth noting the hotel's location is on a small street. While there's technically enough room for two cars to pass, you do need to navigate carefully. Overall, the wonderful service and amenities made this a fantastic choice for my trip. I would recommend it!

I visited the hotel to enjoy some cocktails and was truly impressed. The drinks were well-mixed, beautifully presented, and had a refined taste. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always made me feel comfortable. The atmosphere was elegant and quiet, making it a perfect place to relax and have conversations. It was a wonderful experience and I will definitely come back.🥰🥂

I've never been to a better hotel, everything was just fine!|Very friendly and absolutely helpful staff. There were some minor issues, which were solved immediately. Wonderful, big rooms, clean pools and beautiful gardens around the villas! Good food in the vietnamese restaurant (the french restaurant we did'nt try)

One of the most relaxing stays we've had in Vietnam! The beds are like sleeping on a cloud, with beautifully designed rooms. Incredibly attentive staff who are always happy to help, great spa services and set in a beautiful, quiet location away from the centre, while only being a short taxi ride from any attractions. My only feedback would be similar to other reviews, in that the food in the Vietnamese restaurant is priced quite high for Vietnam vs portion size. There are many great local restaurants nearby which are far more affordable. My food was also cold at one of the breakfasts but this only happened once, so could be a one off. Otherwise I can't fault it and would recommend to anyone!

One of the absolute highlights of our trip to Vietnam was joining the cooking class at Ancient Garden House in Hue. From the very beginning, the whole team welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by traditional architecture and lush greenery, which made the atmosphere even more special. The chefs and instructors were incredibly skilled, patient and always ready to explain every step in detail. They guided us with so much enthusiasm, making the class both educational and fun. We learned how to prepare authentic Hue dishes, discovering new techniques and flavors that we would have never been able to experience otherwise. What really stood out was the kindness and availability of the staff — they were attentive to every need, answered all of our questions and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. It didn’t feel like a tourist activity, but more like being welcomed into a family kitchen. Cooking together, tasting the dishes we created and sharing this experience with other travelers was unforgettable. This class gave us not only delicious food, but also wonderful memories that will stay with us long after the trip. If you are visiting Hue, do not miss this experience — it is by far one of the best things we have done in Vietnam! Luca

Wow!! We finished our 3 night stay at Ancient Hue garden houses this morning and are already missing it. ||||This place is simply perfect. We stayed in 2 connecting rooms in the Gustave Eiffel villa and it was everything we hoped for. ||The rooms were beautifully decorated with charming French Indochine style and spotlessly clean. Definitely the most clean and well kept rooms we have stayed in out of all our Vietnam trip. ||||The staff were so friendly and helpful from everyone we crossed paths with and the breakfast choice was fantastic. So much nicer than a buffet style breakfast at most hotels. ||||It is such a charming boutique style property but with 5 star service and amenities. ||||We will definitely be back again in the future. ||||Thank you to everyone who made our stay so memorable, especially Son.

We stayed for 2 nights in June. we had one room in the old-style part of the hotel for us and one room in the French-style part of the hotel for our adult children (as they can't do twin beds in the old-style rooms). Both rooms were spacious, clean, had lovely bathrooms.||The hotel had two lovely swimming pools - one in each part of the hotel and neither were busy.||Breakfast was all ordered (i.e. not a buffet) but you could order over and over if you wanted more of anything, and it was all very tasty. We didn't eat dinner in the hotel but they had complimentary afternoon tea - which was a lovely break in the day.||The location is excellent - located centrally in the area of the main sites. Grabs were easy to get.||We did the local sites ourselves and then hired a car+driver (arranged ourselves although the hotel offered) for an afternoon to go around the sites that were further afield (the three main tombs and the abandoned water park).||The hotel team were very friendly and helpful.||This was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in and we would definitely stay there again.

Ancient Hue is both a restaurant and cultural space, set in a beautiful garden house. The dishes are inspired by royal cuisine, presented artistically and full of flavor. Dining here felt like enjoying history and art together. It was unforgettable, and I’ll definitely encourage my friends to try this restaurant.
