Within walking distance of the aforementioned scented Song Huong the Asia Hotel is family owned and run and a very cheery place to overnight. Smarter and swisher hotels there maybe in Vietnam but for straightforward honest comfort and a central location in Hue the nine storey 3 year old Asia Hotel which was the proud 2007 & 2008 winner in the Affordable Hotel category of the Hotel Club competition in Hong Kong.There's a modest complement of just 60 rooms including dozen suites. Upgrade to an Asia Suite for a hot tub though they're all well proportioned and fittet out. The international flavoured breakfast buffet is laid out in the Panorama Club while the sizeable la Caramel lays on Vietnamese as well as some European specialities. But they are both trumped by the Poolside Bar with views over the city up to Ngu Binh mountain out to da Vien island and of course across the Perfum River.
