Our top 10 places to stay in and around Phan Thiet
Cheap local guesthouse
We went to inspect Sydney Hotel and this hotel caught our eye.
Sydney Hotel is long in the tooth and for the same rate, you can get a newer, brighter and bigger room at Nguyen Khang Hotel just across the street.
Rooms here boast tall ceilings, a drinking water dispenser, air-con, fan, fridge, table, chairs and some rooms have a balcony. Bathrooms are clean tiled affairs with hot water. There’s not a stitch of English spoken and even intuitive dealings such as inquiring about the room and rate seemed to confuse. This place won’t break a backpacker budget – it’s a great deal for a private room. The cheap white and blue local bus also passes this way – there’s a stop right in front of the hotel. Bus #1 “Tien Lio – Mui Ne – Hon Rom” heads through the Mui Ne’s tourist strip via Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street, travelling all the way to Hon Rom and Suoi Nuoc Beach.
