Hotels in Nha Trang - Prices and Reviews

Our bus pulled into Nha Trang just as the sun was setting and dropped us off at a hotel a few blocks off the water. We had found an excellent deal at the Novotel ($45 a night -- a MASSIVE discount), so were looking forward to living a life of luxury for a few days. We got to the hotel just as Ma and Pa were returning from the beach -- perfect ti...

We boarded an overnight sleeper bus in Hoi An on an evening when the thunderclouds threatened overhead and the sky turned black at around 4 PM. We said goodbye to our nice and wonderful guesthouse owners in Hoi An (Hoang Trinh Guesthouse) and hit the road to Nha Trang. The bus ride was supposed to be from around 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, so we settled...

We had to check out of the hotel by 12pm and then had day-use rooms up until 9pm. In the morning, I went for a walk along the beach after breakfast before coming back to pack up my room. It is so hot! I then spent a couple of hours sitting out by the pool, which was very relaxing. Met up with Roz and Linda at 1pm to do some sightseeing around th...

The three of us checked out of the hotel around 10ish and caught a cab to the train station. The train was the perfect way to travel long time. My bunk was perfect and i had plenty of room to stretch and didn`t have the non stop sound of a bus horn ringing in my ears. The train arrived in Nha Trang about 9.15pm and we found a cheap hotel. The be...

After dinner last night we stopped for Italian ice cream and sat with a couple from Kamloops. We heard about their travel in Vietnam and their winters spent touring Mexico. We also learned some a new phrase Không, cảm õn (sounds like home, cam un) which means no, thank you. The street hawkers don't like it but they stop nagging at you to b...

Hue was an old style Vietnam city, with not too much to offer apart from its market and Ancient Citadel. We managed to spend the morning at these, grabbing some Sugar Cane juice on route . The market was mainly full of Fruit n Veg, and was extremely colourful We then decided to head of down the coast with a stop of at Danang. We were trying to m...

After a very rainy 3 days in Hoi An we decidied to try head South to try and escape the Typhoons..... 11 hours later after another overnight leg on the open tour bus we arrived in Nha Trang at 7.30 am. The move South was the right decision as we were greated by blue sky and baking sunshine - and after over 2 months without a beach we were seriou...

When we think of monkeys, we usually imagine these smiling cute little buggers that you tend to see on the Hallmark greeting cards. I'm here to tell you that this is blatant misrepresentation, and in actuality monkeys are vicious, fearless animals that must be treated accordingy. But more on that later. Our final days in Dalat were spent eating ...

This town reminds us of surfers paradise. It is an overrated and overcrowded beach town and thus only stayed there one night. We went to the beach had a small look at town then spent our last evening with the Israeli lads, eating fantastic Turkish cuisine and smoking Shisha for our first time! The next morning we jumped on a 6 hour bus ride to D...

The bus journey from Saigon/Ho Chi Minh to Nha Trang took most of the day and served as a good introduction to Vietnamese driving habits. The problem is that you have vehicles of five different speeds all trying to use one lane of road; bicycles, slow motorbikes, fast motorbikes, buses and a few cars. So everyone is trying to overtake the vehicl...
