British tourists complain about hotel scam
British tourists complain to Hanoi authorities about hotel scam
The three British tourists at Hanoi Tourism Department.
Three British tourists have complained to Hanoi tourism authorities that they were cheated by a man who took them from the gate of a hotel they had booked into to another one by lying to them.
Bradley Spillman, Jonathan Bearman and Matthew Taylor, all 21, told officials at the Hanoi Tourism Department Thursday that they had booked rooms at Hanoi Old Town Hotel, 95 Hang Chieu.
On Wednesday they arrived at the hotel from airport by taxi when a man who introduced himself as the “manager” of the hotel jumped into the vehicle.
He said the hotel’s water system was broken and he would take them to another branch of the hotel at 9 Nguyen Truong To Street, Ba Dinh District.
They booked into the new hotel, called Hai Nam, when they received an email from the Hanoi Old Town Hotel asking why they did not turned up.
Meanwhile, the man sold some tours to them, and after learning he had scammed them, they wanted the money back. But he only made a partial refund.
They told department officials they wanted their money back and the man and the hotel to be punished.
On Thursday Vu Cong Huy, deputy chief inspector of the department, said they were investigating the case together with Ba Dinh District authorities.
Do Dinh Hong, Director of Hanoi's Tourism Department, said the authorities will "seriously address any violation" to "maintain the good image of Vietnam's tourism."

5-star hotel shaped into traditional musical instrument
Southern province to have 5-star hotel shaped into traditional Vietnamese musical instrument

A Vietnamese firm has secured the green light from officials in southern Vietnam to build a five-star hotel in the shape of a musical instrument used in don ca tai tu, a form of traditional Vietnamese music recognized by UNESCO.
Construction of the Bao Toan hotel will start next month in Bac Lieu City, which is the capital of the Mekong Delta province of Bac Lieu, the cradle of don ca tai tu, according to Ngo Xuan Pha, chairman of Bao Toan Automobile JSC, the developer of the project.
Don ca tai tu is a genre of chamber music in the traditional music of southern Vietnam.
The architectural design of the 5-star hotel has been approved by the provincial Party Committee and People's Committee, Pha told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Saturday.
Upon completion, the hotel will have 16 stories and be 50 meters in height.
According to the developer, the proposed hotel will cost some VND140 billion (US$6.3 million) and include five floors designed in the shape of a boat carrying the main part of the project that is shaped into the don kim, a two-cord musical instrument used in don ca tai tu.
The hotel will have two elevator systems designed as the two ‘strings’ of the don kim with the top end to feature an observatory and a coffee lounge.
Don ca tai tu was recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity in early 2014, according to the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
The Vietnamese music genre was selected as one of the 11 new inscriptions on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity at the 8th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Heritage, held in Azerbaijan on December 5, 2013.
Stemming from the Hue court music and folk music of the southern region, don ca tai tu has been developing since the 19th century, changing according to local taste. It thrived in the early 20th century and remains crucial to the country’s traditional culture.
The music is typically performed at festivals, death anniversary rituals, and celebrations by farmer-artists.
