Viral Post: Finding a hotel room cheaper than a cup of coffee might sound impossible, but one Indian traveller made it happen in Vietnam, and the internet can’t stop talking about it. In a post going viral on social media, the man shared screenshots of his booking at Leaf Hotel Phu Quoc, where he got a Superior Double or Twin room for just Rs 159.02, and yes, that included all taxes and fees. The original cost was over Rs 578, but after a massive 75% discount, the final amount dropped to just Rs 144.56, with taxes adding only Rs 14.46.
The hotel offers basic comforts like free Wi-Fi, parking, 24-hour check-in, luggage storage, and either a queen bed or two singles, all packed into an 18-square-metre room suitable for two adults. The traveller also pointed out that the booking was paid in Vietnamese Dong, just 48,000 VND, with VAT already included.
