Description
This place earns marks for one reason only -- it's in a great location right in the old town, across the street from the Tam Tam Garden. That and the entrance gate suggest a charming old guesthouse lies on the other side -- but the rooms are some of the shoddiest in town. They're big, but completely worn-out Chinese style rooms with the kind of seedy atmosphere you might normally put up with for US$3-4 elsewhere in Asia. Far, far better rooms are available for the same price up along Hai Ba Trung, which isn't all that far away. But, since it's one of your only Heritage Town options, you might give it look.

Dai Long Hotel
19 Hai Ba Trung St, Hoi An
When we finished surveying the Dai Long, the very friendly hostess told us that she knew we'd be back, and it was easy to see why. This popular backpacker haunt has great value rooms if you're willing to spend US$10, as well as some reasonable options if you're wanting to spend a little less. The... more
Nhi Trung
13 Hai Ba Trung St, Hoi An
The large air-con rooms here come with TV, fridge and balconies overlooking the road (for those who get in first). The Nhi Trung has upped its rates in recent years, making it not the great value it once was, but still the guesthouse remains a decent fall-back option if the Dai Long up the street... more
Thanh Binh 2 Hotel
Hai Ba Trung St, Hoi An
As with the other Thanh Binh Hotels, this is a very Chinese-style spot with heavy wooden furniture, super-low beds and an in-house tailor. For the money it's not bad value, particularly as you get to use the pool at the nearby Thanh Binh 3. If you're a non-swimmer, however, then other hotels in the... more
Minh A Guest House
02 Nguyen Tai Hoc, Hoi An
This is the only old merchant house that we know of that has been turned into a guesthouse, providing a very unique opportunity to actually sleep and eat in the kind of place that people usually take tours of. It's over 100 years old, and is in the same style as the other old houses in town --... more
An Phu Hotel
30 Nguyen Duy Hieu, Hoi An
This huge, ornate building looks like it could house more than its 62 rooms. It's a popular, bustling place -- we found the rooms to be okay value, given the proximity to the old town and it's not too terribly far from Cua Dai beach. The cheapest rooms don't have exterior windows and look a bit... more
