Can Tho has a good range of accommodation, primarily clustered around the river at Hai Ba Trung St which has become the tourist strip. Floating market and Mekong Delta boat tours depart from here. Every hotel/guesthouse can arrange Mekong Delta tours—and they will ask you, sometimes repeatedly. Can Tho lacks ultra budget accommodation. Backpackers travelling on a tight budget will struggle to find decent accommodation under US$8.
It’s hard not to fall for the classic elegance of Victoria Can Tho, especially when you compare it to the big banquet/conference centre Vietnamese hotels that have appeared on Can Tho’s waterfront. Located on a quiet chunk of property on the river north of the tourist strip, accessible by road bridge or the pedestrian-only bridge and path that edges the river, Victoria is Can Tho’s...

Located a couple blocks from the riverside, Hau Giang (not to be confused with Hau Giang 2) is a reasonably priced mid-range option in Can Tho. The staff are friendly and eager, and we were welcomed with a glass of cold fruit juice, even though we were not a guest and simply dropped in anonymously to check out the room. The 52 rooms are bland, functional city hotel-type rooms that are used... Read our full review of Hau Giang.

Minh Vuong Hotel makes budget travel a civilised affair, with rooms that are clean and tidy, the little details thought out right down to the cute wee rubbish bin. The compact rooms are well organised and it comes as no surprise that for a time the owner worked in Japan. In addition to being brightly lit, the rooms have quiet air-con, a desk, mirror, fan, flatscreen TV, fresh clean linens and... Read our full review of Minh Vuong Hotel.

Centrally located Anh Dao Mekong Hotel is just 350m from the river, a convenient spot on a street lined with similar skinny local hotels that run to the river/tourist pier. Compared to the lot, Anh Dao Mekong is a decent pick among them and the building goes deep, stretching further back than expected. The decor won’t win any style awards as everything is rather mismatched but it ticks all... Read our full review of Anh Dao Mekong Hotel.

Though not directly on the riverfront like Thanh Thuy Hotel, the Ruby CT Hotel is pretty darn close and the convenient location steps to the river, pier, night market and local market is the main selling point. Ruby CT Hotel is a typical skinny Vietnamese hotel with long, narrow rooms, and the entry level (cheapest) rooms are windowless. However, it is a lot brighter and cohesively decorated...

It doesn’t take long guests to feel what a formidable woman Ms Ha, proprietor of Thanh Ha Guesthouse, is. She runs the ship and the ship is run tight, her spartan rooms are spotless, clinical and well maintained. The tile gleams, and there’s plenty of it as in the tile even goes up the walls—There’s a certain hospital ward charm about it. ###14045 Still, it’s all a backpacker...

When it comes to location, Thanh Thuy’s riverfront situation in the heart of Can Tho’s tourist centre can’t be beat. The accommodation sports stark local hotel-calibre rooms, and you are paying for that location—a premium if you want a room with river view—but there are a few positives as well. ###14048 Guests can look forward to white tile floors, glossy white tiles up half of...

Formerly the Golf Hotel, TTC Hotel sits at the northern end of Hai Ba Trung’s riverside promenade. While we don’t normally feature large generic hotels unless we find reason to, in this case we found reason to thanks to the views, location and swimming pool. The rooms of TTC Hotel are what you would expect of a solid three-star hotel. Rooms have cream walls, ebony furniture and purple... Read our full review of TTC Hotel.

Accommodation outside of Can Tho city offers relaxation in the countryside, but you won’t be heading into the big smoke every evening.
Located 10 km from Can Tho city centre, Nguyen Shack is a rustic backpacker retreat turning what’s normally a quick Mekong Delta pit stop into a relaxing holiday. Surrounded by farmland and built along a river, Nguyen Shack takes full advantage of the water as the main lounge/dining sala and all accommodation have deck space, hammocks and river views, a Southeast Asia backpacker’s holy...
