The Thien Nga Hotel is a great midrange option, providing far more style and comfort than other similarly priced hotels in the area. Rooms are stylish and clean, with white sheets on wooden beds, and ethnic minority textiles draped on the walls. Balconies have potted palms, and are a great spot to grab a minute of relaxation after a day haggling with Hoi An's tailors. If you can, snag a room in the back, where you can have a view over the neighbouring rice fields. There's a pool out back, and breakfast and free WiFi are included. For the rates, the rooms are a steal. Recommended.

Thien Nga Hotel reviews

Read 3 opinions from Travelfish readers

Lovely room, not the bed staff - 27th March, 2009
We moved to this hotel from the Hai Au (who had a tour group coming in and was full) and stayed for three nights. The location was good, the pool was nice and the room was very nice (a the back, quiet, lovely view) but the staff was not very helpful. While they claim to have wi-fi, there signal isn't strong enough to actually work anywhere other than just next to the router. When I tried to stay in the lobby to make a skype call at night, one of the staff people yelled at me to go upstairs...not the most welcoming bunch. If you are going to Hoi An, it's not a bad place to stay but we'd recommend the Hai Au Hotel at 576 Cua Dai Street.

Pass on Long Life - 20th January, 2010
While the staff truly is sweet and helpful, it doesn't make up for janky rooms. Door handle falling off, moldy walls by the A/C unit, super noisy minibar fridge that wasn't cold, no t.p. (however not uncommon in VN) and no trash bin. The theme? Long Life Hotels need to get the basics straight before going for all the ''extras'' like beautifully folded towels, flowers on the bed spa bathtubs, free combs and toothbrushes etc. There are better options right around the area for the same price. When I checked out of the hotel and told them very kindly that I didn't care for the room, they gave me a wallet as a gift. huh??. Never had that happen before :/ Hoi An is quite cool and worth a stop for sure.

unsatisfying experience - 3rd January, 2010
Friendly voice over the phone upon booking; velvet gloves were gone upon arriving. Bathroom walls mouldy. Great view from balcony in the back yes, but noisy with hundreds of frogs singing away for lightsleepers. Woke up during the night from bedbugs. Ants all over the floor. When discussed the problem with staff and asked for another room. They said sorry can't help you and showed us the door. No, I didn't have a bad attitude. I've been living in Asia for 7 years, I know about the ''face'' policies. Anyway, location is a little far from ''action'', although close to the incredible Cafe 43 restaurant. For 30U$, there are other options. We moved into the An Huy hotel after one night for 28 bucks. Great helpful staff, nice rooms, although some without proper window, alittle on the humid side, but charming. Much better location. Don't rent room 104; try to go for the 2nd floor. Book well in advance.
