Among the sea of mini-hotels lining Bui Thi Xuan, this is one of the better choices for backpackers. Although not exactly modern and definitely not freshly painted, all rooms have cable TV and some higher up have a fantastic balcony which wraps around the front and side of the building. Bathrooms havetubs. Thanh Dong would be a great place for a large group of friends, with a few rooms able to cater to six people sharing three double beds for just US$15. In fact, on any kind of sharing basis the rooms are fantastic backpacker value. Be wary of the aggressive dog lashed to a post in the garden when entering. The rooms range in price depending on how many people are staying in them.
