Dong Ha guesthouses and hotels

On the plus side, Dong Ha is a great place to get away from the crowds. The Vietnamese don't vacation here, and foreign visitors blow right past it. Not surprisingly, this means a pretty lacklustre selection in terms of accommodation. But some places are better than others, and choosing wisely will make your short stay here a bit more pleasant.
