Serene Palace in the ancient Nguyen kingdom of Hue is, indeed, a charming little palace of serenity. Offering convenience, personalised care and a safe, quiet 'home away from home', this little gem of a hotel is staffed by a hand-picked team of gracious, genuine people. The management team, lead by the beautiful Amy, exude professionalism and decency. Located in a quiet, quirky little lane just behind the business of Hue's night life, Serene Palace is walking distance to shops, restaurants and the jewel in Hue's crown - the ancient citadel. If you need support, advice or basic information regarding Hue's highlights and how to get around (e.g. visiting the 3 famous royal tombs), the management team will gladly help you out. The highly affordable rooms are quiet, very comfortable and clean. I enjoyed the jet spa bath :) Breakfast is nutritious, hygienic and fresh. Serene Palace offered me the very best in Vietnamese graciousness and hospitality. My only regret is that I did not stay longer at Serene Palace in Hue ... 3 nights was insufficient to fully enjoy all that Hue has to offer. Thankyou to Amy and all of the Serene Palace team.
