What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed value concerns — While many guests find the hotel good value, some ratings suggest that expectations for the price point aren't always met.
  • Potential overbooking issues — At least one guest was moved to a sister property upon arrival due to overbooking, which can be inconvenient if you expect to stay at the White Lion itself.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be an issue for very late arrivals.

“We arrived late and the hotel was full, so they moved us to their sister property, Sen Viet Hotel. Despite the inconvenience, the White Lion staff were very accommodating, even accompanying us to Sen Viet to ensure everything went smoothly. Rooms were clean and the location was great with many restaurants and shops nearby.”
