Description
Just behind the Ke Bang Hotel is a surprisingly good and cheap alternative, the Nam Long. They've invested in some road signs to help you find the place, but that's not reflected in the budget prices -- the rooms here are just as good as what you'll get in the budget range elsewhere, but they also come with good cable and WiFi access. The beds look a little like they belong in a convent, and the mattresses are on the firm side, but we stayed here and slept quite well. Staff are friendly, but speak little English. It's convenient to the Nhat Le Bridge -- it's about fifteen minutes from here on foot to the sand, and about ten minutes to the central market, to the south.

Nam Long Hotel -

The Nam Long was my home for about two months while working at a local NGO. The family that owns Nam Long took very good care of me. When they learned I was being overcharged for a bike rental, they lent me one of theirs for very little. They let me keep some food in their fridge and made me feel like family, offering me tea whenever I was sitting in the lobby. The wi-fi was pretty fast and reliable, the location great, and there was ac. I think they're more expensive, but since the prices are all pretty budget, get a room with a balcony. If you need to get some things from a shop, there are two nearby that have good selection, fair prices, and friendly service. Leaving Nam Long, turn left, then left again onto the beach road, and the first shop on your left is a great small shop for snacks and water bottles. Leaving Nam Long and turning right, walk to the main road, turn left, and the shop next to the dress shop has a larger selection of essentials from shampoo to notebooks.

We noticed that some western business travellers had singled this place out for a stay, and after we checked it out we could see why. The rooms are clean and spacious, some come with balconies, and the location, on a quite side street just behind the Huong Quynh, makes it a strong choice. There's a... more

We'd recommend not staying on the main road -- the nights are relatively quiet, but you'll be awakened at about 07:00 when the trucks start passing through town honking their horns like crazy. The road itself is a hassle to cross because of all the mixed traffic. But if you do wind up on Highway... more

Nhat Le Beach, Dong Hoi
This place is just on the far side of the Nhat Le bridge, making it some of the closest accommodation to the decent beach there. In fact, other than the four-star Sun Spa nearby, we were unable to find any other place to stay at all. We can't really rave about the accommodation here, but it's basic... more
