For those of you coming from out of town, there are many options for accommodation. After some research it seems like the Opera Hotel will be the best choice. It is located directly across the street from the SSIS campus and this will simplify the transportation arrangement. However, the prices are slightly higher than hotels a kilometer or so away (and what I quoted in my previous email).

It is a small hotel and the rooms rates are listed below (all are inclusive of breakfast). You will need to correspond with the hotel directly at res@hotelopera.asia to finalize the booking.

- 02 Standard Queen: VND730.000 per room per night​ (aprox. US $35)​

- 04 Superior Queen: VND820.000 per night per night​ (aprox. US $39)​​

- 01 Deluxe Queen: VND920.000 per night​ (aprox. US $44)​​

- 04 Junior Suite: VND1.100.000 per room per night​ (aprox. US $52)​​

If you need help with booking the room please don't hesitate to contact me.
