Description
The long-running Vinh Phuoc has a popular travel agent and traveller cafe on the ground floor. The rooms are a little worn and overpriced but it is nevertheless a reasonable choice if you're after a basic fan room. If you're keen on air-con, the Trung Nguyen down the road is far better value. The verandas are shared between two rooms, so make sure you keep the door locked if you don't know your neighbours. The higher you go, the quieter the room gets.

all rooms have doors with frosted glass - see-through!
cockroaches on the restaurant floor on their way to the kitchen. Don't pay more than $ 6 for a fan room!


Fine. -

We just stayed here one night and for one night, it was fine. It was cheap ($6 for fan double) and reasonably clean for the price, but also pretty rundown. I wouldn't really recommend it.

FYI - if you're leaving Chau Doc by bus, you'll save some money on the ticket by just showing up at the bus station, rather than buying a ticket through a travel agent.


Ok -

We stayed here as a stop between Cambodia and Phu Quoc Island. It was reasonably priced, and the rooms were fine.


Good Enough -

Vinh Phuoc was an ok place to stay. It is getting a bit run down and dirty, but the hot water in our room was great. We also found an unsecured wireless connection. Great for moving on to other parts Vietnam as there is a boatload of travel info in the main lobby. There are much better restaurants than the one downstairs.

Trung Nguyen Hotel
86 Bach Dang St, Chau Doc
Better than clean, the new Trung Nguyen Hotel is a sparkling addition to Chau Doc, with friendly staff that liven up an otherwise soulless lobby that doubles as a Western Union office. The rooms have good views of the market and the balconies are ideal for people watching. The rooms, while a little... more



Guesthouse Number 6
6 Phan Van Vang St, Chau Doc
This newest addition to Chau Doc's accommodation offerings has been painted an incredibly bright blue throughout: floors, walls and ceilings have all been daubed. Watch your head as you climb the narrow and tight staircase that winds up through Number 6's many floors. The rooms are standard fare,... more



Thuan Loi Hotel
18 Tran Hung Dao St, Chau Doc
If you're arriving on the speedboat from Phnom Penh, chances are you'll be dropped at the waterfront restaurant of this hotel. Being the only riverfront hotel in town aside from the Victoria, if you want to watch the river scene from your room on a budget, this is your only real option. The air-con... more



Hang Chau 2 Hotel
10 Nguyen Van Thoai St, Chau Doc
This popular traveller guesthouse has affordable rooms, but newer options are now in town. The room we were shown was stale and stuffy, though the ashtray with six million butts in it may have contributed to the atmosphere. The mattresses are super-soft and the warm-water bathrooms aged but fairly... more



Hoa Hung Motel
5 Quang Trung St, Chau Doc
While mainly aimed at Asian tourists and travelling businessmen, the Hoa Hung is a friendly spot with rather kitsch but clean rooms and a popular cafe on the ground floor. While not worth putting at the top of your list, if you're looking for a comfortable hotel off the tourist trail, you could do... more



Tai Ngan Hotel
11 Nguyen Huu Canh St, Chau Doc
Set next door to the almost classy Song Sao Hotel, the Tai Ngan is a passable budget option with basic but clean rooms. The mattresses are super bouncy but the bathrooms are grimy. For the money, it isn't too bad. A little bit of Engish is spoken and there is a money changing office next door. If... more
