Dien Bien Phu

Dien Bien Phu

Dien Bien Phu sees a steady flow of tourists and travellers passing through and there's an adequate selection of places to choose from. Be aware that many hotels are not licensed to take foreigners, even some very decent-looking guest houses. If someone starts shaking their head and waving you away as you approach, try another place. All the places we list do take foreigners.

T: (023) 810 043; F: (023) 810 713
There's a whole class of hotels in Vietnam, built before Doi Moi, that reflect a very kitschy, uniquely Vietnamese sensibility, and this place is a prime example of the genre. The fundamentals of the ... Muong Thanh Hotel complete profile

No, not that kind of party, the political kind. This place is set along the river down a steep slope just before the bridge to the bus station along Tran Dinh Ninh Road. The sign just reads Nha ... Dien Bien Party Hotel complete profile

Hai Yen Guest House - A bit depressing
House 108, Thanh Binh Ward (along the right side of the bus station), Dien Bien Phu
