Nam Long
Great value, with WiFi
What we say: 
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.

Our guide found this hotel for us for a 2-month stay (mid december 2009- end february 2010)... and this was the best experience in Vietnam!! Like bunnychip9 and mstevens say, the Nam Long Hotel became our home & family, one of a most welcoming and wonderful kind. A treasure to cherish in a new country. Location, location, location. This is a great place to stay in Dong Hoi, within a short walking distance from the Nhat Le river, the beach, the highway, the post office, a Vietcombank ATM facing the post office, restaurants, cafes, even a small market!! Not only will you enjoy the bright, clean rooms (all with A/C and wi-fi, we had a queen-size bed, small fridge, TV) in a quiet street, plus an unbeatable value for quality and price, but you will most appreciate the lovely family owner. The couple speak very good English and are always ready to help, for organizing your trip to the Phong Nha Ke Bang caves for example, or book transportation for your next adventures, or send a fax or rent motorbikes or whatever... Just ask! Plus they have a brilliant team. They all make a difference. Such wonderful memories are linked to them like the Têt holidays, the share of meals and laughs. Thank you very very much Sy, Nga & family!! Love always.

Outstanding
We picked out Nam Long after reading the reviews here on Travelfish...and we were not disappointed. We arrived late in the night from Hue, and we were given rooms high up. I forget now which floor! They could change the curtains from that awful green and liven it up but I can't fault the room! We paid $8 and it was spotlessly clean. Two clean beds, TV, even a small fridge, and the most wonderful, welcoming family as your host! The people are what make Nam Long special - and travel is not about staying in nice, posh 5-star joints but about the people you meet. Warm hospitality, and great location (the beach was just a walk away), with all amenities...you can't go wrong here.

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.
