Phuoc An Hotel (DMZ Guest House)
Not overly appealing

Description
Despite the fact that the DMZ Cafe is sort of a hip place for backpackers to hangout, the associated hotel isn't such an appealing place to stay. We found the rooms clean but antiseptic, and the staff obnoxiously over-eager. Most of the rooms have decent baths with tubs, fridges, TV -- but no cable. The basic doubles are quite plain and have small beds. The rooms up on the fourth floor are a bit better, with some views of the river if you squint real hard. Wait until all the really good places fill up before you choose to stay here. They'll be expecting you.

Halo
10A/66 Le Loi St,Hue
The Halo is another great choice on Sidestreet 66 and even edges out its neighbour, the Cahn Tien, which is no slouch in the quality department. The upper floors have excellent rooms that sleep up to four people, with air-con, satellite cable TV, big tubs in the nice tile bathrooms, and pretty... more
Canh Tien
9/66 Le Loi St, Hue
This is a great little place tucked away at the end of 'budget alley' off Le Loi Street. It's not the cheapest of the lot, but the rooms offer a lot more for the money. The less-expensive rooms are fan only and a bit cramped, but that's partly because the beds are nice and big, and they still... more
Hoang Huong Guest House
46/2 Le Loi St, Hue
This friendly place is run by a mother and daughter (the hotel is named after Mom) who speak English well and do an exceptional job keeping the joint humming. Even though it's a budget guesthouse, they go all out to attend to the needs of those staying here, and they're incredibly scrupulous about... more
Mimosa Guest House
12/66 Le Loi St, Hue
This is the place to head if all you care about is saving money. The cheapest rooms are fan singles which guests jokingly refer to as 'prison cells.' Not the worst prison imaginable. Like a nice Swedish prison, or maybe a college dorm room. The doubles here have extra beds, making them triples, but... more
Bao Minh Hotel
8/66 Le Loi St, Hue
The rooms here are a bit cramped, in part because they all have tables and fridges packed into the room whether there's room for them or not. On the plus side, the decor is quite pleasant, the bathrooms have tubs, and all the rooms feature optional air-con at a very reasonable price. The more... more
Van Xuan
10 Pham Ngu Lao, Hue
We were greeted by a very unclean smell in the lobby of this place, and a spry old Vietnamese guy who didn't speak any English. We thought the rooms were not all that great -- a bit cramped, a bit shabby. Still, the place remains popular, perhaps because of the long exterior balconies, lined with... more
Thanh Thuy's Guest House
6/66 Le Loi, Hue
This shining little diamond of a place offers, hands down, the best value for money for budget accommodation is Hue -- and probably in Vietnam. It has just four small rooms, but they're all beautiful and unbelievably cheap. The two street-facing rooms have excellent balconies, and are wonderfully... more
