Hoi An Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Hoi An Old Town is a Unesco World Heritage site. Our hotel was a bit away so we used the free bikes and headed 2 km to the beach. The beach was polluted, lots of cigarette butts wash up to shore probably from the fisherman. We only stayed for about an hour and then went back to the hotel to swim. We kept the bikes and headed to the Old Town, eve...

Well, we were meant to leave Hoi An this morning, but after returning from another of Mr Tung's wonderful meals I was woken at 1.00 am to Davey saying 'Helllllllllloooooooo" to the toilet bowel..... PS Goodbye was happening in a pretty violent way too! This had been going on for a couple of hours apparently but he did not wake me (and in my defe...

We arrived in Hoi An and the bus dropped us at a hotel that cost ten dollars for the room so ended up staying there. We planned to get clothes made up there as it is the tailoring capital of Vietnam. I got a suit made in Peace Clothing and Sarah got a top made there and a coat made elsewhere. We bumped into the Irish couple we met in Da Lat, Mar...

Aujourd'hui est notre dernier jour avec Mo et Quyen, et je suis toute tristoune... Le paysage qui defile me fait momentanement oublier tout ca. Decidemment, cette piste Ho Chi Minh est fabuleuse. On a amasse une telle quantite d'informations en une semaine, c'est incroyable. J'ai envie de vous transmettre tout ce que Mo et Quyen nous ont appris ...

It is raining this morning. It rains all day. We have breakfast here at the hotel, do a bit of laundry, work on the computer and then watch a movie on TV. It is in English with subtitles. There are two movie channels and then about 4 news chanels in English. Out across the street for lunch, the puddles are now rivers running down the edges. Back...

We had a 5 day holiday so we decided to head north to Danang and Hoi Anh. We flew into Danang and took a taxi to Hoi Anh (240,000vnd). We had booked a room with Dai Long guest house for $20 a night since it was a national holiday. We arrived around noon and decided to head to the riverside and have lunch. We enjoyed a few local dishes....Cau Lau...

I met Morgan an hour after lunch and we slid through the streets to get a cut throat shave at a derelict looking barber shop I'd seen on the first day in Hoi An. Peering through the window I watched a local getting getting a good scrape, the barber turned around and smiled. His eyes pointed in two different directions. It was then that I swore t...

Thank god some lady in Hanoi convinced us we should not rush through HoiAn. This rivals Sapa as my favorite place so far. HoiAn is close to the sea, China Beach is about 20 miles north. It is a beautiful, quiet town with 19th century architecture as it was spared the destruction of the war. I am so glad we had 3 days here and planned nothing, it...

Hoi An in the rain I woke up to the sound of rain hammering down outside my window. Great, but it's the first real rain of my trip so I've been really lucky thus far. I didn't have the greatest sleep because everything was damp and yukky. I don't know if this is just because of the flooding in Hoi An or if it's due to the rainy season in Central...

Hoi An was an easy four-hour bus ride from Hue. It was a little funny though. We were told the bus would pick us up at our guesthouse, which was great news because it meant we didn't have to carry our packs to a bus station. The downfall was that we were among the first passengers to be picked up so it took an hour to round up the rest. Then, ju...
