Dong Hoi guesthouses and hotels

There are numerous hotels along the main drag through town, all of which suffer a bit in quality due to the loud, honking trucks passing by all day long. North of the Nhat Le bridge, along the west bank of the river, there's a good variety of accommodation and very little traffic, making it a quiet alternative to Highway 1, though it may be harder to find services and places to eat nearby.
