For me, it's a minimum of two-night stay and just in case you are wondering if there is any hotel at Bana Hills; there's only one and it's under the Mercure brand under Accor group! Today, I shall start by stepping into Hotel De Paris; for our check-in process!
Despite its mercure name, there were a total of seven buildings in the collection, and they came with seven different hotel names! Day visitors would be surprised to know that the facade for the European buildings actually served a practical purpose.
Let's have some self-serviced infused water, while waiting for our key. Honestly, the lobby was crowded with people and pretty small for a hotel with a total of 461 rooms spread out.
Thank god it wasn't raining; although we had the help from the hotel porter who was tasked to bring us to the building assigned to us, and diligently pulled our two pieces of 28-inch luggage along the uneven stone flooring. Of course, a small tip was necessary.
Arrival at Hotel De Strasbourg; which was located at the base of the Spiritual Zone of Sun World Bana Hills, and within the French Village although not exactly "village centre".
Corridor seemed alright.
Not creepy like some hotels.
Room 7104
Located on basement one of the building, it's actually the first out of four levels of Hotel De Strasbourg and given there were three of us; we had to go with the slightly pricier family deluxe room.
Photographs of the hotel room for your reference; with a queen sized and single bed, a small television, and a ceiling fan with no carpet flooring. Oh well, just a place to sleep.
Do you like paintings in your hotel room? I am actually okay if they show sceneries or even abstract art; and less alright when it comes to portraits and facial expressions would be something.
Other amenities; bottled mineral water was provided but hardly sufficient to make the recommended liquid intake for a hotel. If you need more, I would recommend D-Mart - The Convenience Mart, located next to Hotel De Toulouse.
p.s. not much view also.
Washroom might seem alright at first with two sinks. Problem was that this would be the only place with mirrors when it should be common to have at least an extra vanity mirror in the living section.
Another issue was that the doors were only reserved for the shower area and the toilet, and the latter didn't even have a shelf to put my bottles of anti-dandruff shampoo and sensitive facial foam! Space for the two enclosed areas was also small; even I found it hard to change clothes in the shower cubicle!
Swimming Pool
Housed at La Piscine (not exactly easy to find but always ask the staff for directions, this would likely be one of the most beautiful indoor pools I have been, although the design was a bit tacky. Nevertheless, kids would likely have a great time here.
Fitness Centre
You can choose to sign in.
Opening from 6.00am till 9.00pm, equipment was basic but sufficient for my needs. I am bit puzzled as to why I didn't choose to jog outdoors since Sun World Bana Hills were not crowded in the early morning when the sun rays were still comfortable for the skin.
Buffet Breakfast
=====
Transport service provided by the hotel; prices were actually not unreasonable and we eventually opted for a one way trip from Bana Hills to Minh Toan SAFI Ocean Hotel at Da Nang City.
