Accommodation

Where to stay — hostels to beach resorts

Vietnam offers some of Asia’s best value beds at every budget.

가이드 & 아티클

Typical price per night for a double room.

Spotless dorms, family homestays in Sapa & Mai Chau, and breakfast that beats most hotels.

Pools, rooftop bars and old-town boutiques in Hoi An & Hanoi — the sweet spot for most travelers.

World-class resorts on Da Nang, Phu Quoc & Nha Trang beaches — often a fraction of Western prices.

Where to base yourself in the cities you’ll actually visit.

Walk to street food, the lake and night markets. Lively and central — light sleepers go one street back.

Stay in town for lanterns, or by An Bang Beach for the best of both — 10 minutes apart by bike.

Long sandy beach, rooftop pools and a great base for day-trips to Hoi An and the Marble Mountains.

District 1 for the buzz and sights; District 3 for leafier streets and local cafés a short ride away.

Book ahead in peak

Tet, summer & Christmas fill fast on the coast — reserve 2–4 weeks out.

Passport at check-in

Hotels register guests with local police — keep your passport & E-visa handy on arrival.

Cards mostly fine

Hotels take cards; homestays may be cash-only. Carry some VND just in case.

Once your stay is booked, compare E-visa tiers with TVK — fast, with 24/7 support.
