Hue
Guesthouses, hotels and resorts
South bank
The south bank of the Perfume River is home to 'Sidestreet 66 Le Loi,' which is a cul-de-sac where most backpackers head directly upon arrival. The touts are at their worst here and along Pham Ngu Lao between the DMZ Bar on Le Loi and the Why Not Bar at the end of the street. Several new buildings were being constructed on Sidestreet 66 Le Loi when we passed through in late 2007. Construction often starts as early as 07:00 and lasts until 17:00 daily. The Hoang Huong is the only place on the whole street where you're likely to find peace and quite. All construction is targeted for completion by February 2008 at the latest. But, you know how it goes...

Unbelievable value

Bao Minh Hotel
A bit cramped
8/66 Le Loi St, Hue
T: (054) 829 953; F: (054) 829 956The rooms here are a bit cramped, in part because they all have tables and fridges packed into the room whether there's room for them or not. On the plus side, the decor is quite pleasant, the ... Read the full review of Bao Minh Hotel.

Phuoc An Hotel (DMZ Guest House)
Not overly appealing
60 Le Loi - 1A Pham Ngu Lao St, Hue
T: (054) 826 831;Despite the fact that the DMZ Cafe is sort of a hip place for backpackers to hangout, the associated hotel isn't such an appealing place to stay. We found the rooms clean but antiseptic, and the ... Read the full review of Phuoc An Hotel (DMZ Guest House).

Green Hotel
A giant green government-owned monster
02 Le Loi St, Hue
T: (054) 822 153; F: (054) 024 527Some guidebooks still direct readers to the Le Loi Hotel near the train station, but if they venture to the old address, they'll find it's been demolished and replaced by a humongous, green, ... Read the full review of Green Hotel.

A great, hidden away spot
138 Nguyen Sing Cung, Hue

Hong Thien Guest House
A flop-house for foreigners
124 Le Loi, Hue
T: (054) 837 399; F: (054) 831 035This flop-house for foreigners, on Le Loi around the corner from Nguyen Cong Tru, is a decent place to save money on a room if you're not too picky. There are some space issues (lack of) and light ... Read the full review of Hong Thien Guest House.

Doesn't measure up
26 Pham Ngu Lao, Hue

North Bank, Citadel
Very few westerners head to these cheap places near the Citadel, but why the heck not? The location is a short walk from acres of fresh-cut grass, crossed by placid moats and stony ramparts. And the cyclo guys are all hanging out on the other side of the river! Paradise. A lot of places in this area aren't licensed to accept foreigners, but all the places we list said they were.

Ngoc Phu
Very local
62 Tran Huy Lieu, Hue
T: (054) 512 557;You can't beat the location -- right on the moat overlooking one of the outer ramparts of the Citadel. But there are rarely tourists in this neighbourhood, which makes it part of the attraction. Most ... Read the full review of Ngoc Phu.
