What to consider before choosing the best hotel in Hoi An?

This way you can simply pop out of your hotel to explore the town any time you like.
Added bonus here, after a busy few hours of sight-seeing, you are only a short walk away from your hotel and the pool.
2. Transport and Access to the Hoi An Old Town
Majority of the Hoi An best hotels are within a walking distance from the Old Town. However, if you choose to stay a bit further, you can always hire a scooter (about $7 USD per day), and make your way in and out of the Old Town with ease.
Please note that access within the Old Town by a scooter is time limited. Afternoons are for foot traffic only.
Don't worry here. There are plenty of parking spaces close to all of the entrances.

Tickets to the Old Town set you back only about $7 USD per person and you can use it for the whole duration of your stay.

1. Anantara Hoi An Resort Review
- One of the Best Hoi An Hotels Near Old Town-
Very elegant and conveniently located close to the Old Town, this is a beautiful and the most popular resort in Hoi An.
This resort represents a 1920's Colonial Style decor, provides you with superb river views, beautiful gardens and of course a magnificent pool!
This is the best accommodation in Hoi An Old Town by far!
The resort offers 6 different types of rooms, including Deluxe River View Rooms and Anantara Riverview Suites.
The resort is one of the best family hotels Hoi An
has to offer, but it is also brilliant for couples holidays too.
This is a very peaceful and luxurious resort, and in my pick as one of the best resorts in Hoi An.

This hotel is located within a five minute walk to the Old Town and close to all of the Hoi An's attractions.
The rooms are very comfortable, spacious and very stylish.
The staff is super friendly, buffet breakfast is delicious and cocktails are equally awesome!
If you choose to stay in this hotel, you can relax by the pool on one of the very comfy pool side lounges, or you can choose to get a massage at the spa located on the ground level.
When we stayed here on our last trip to Hoi An, we chose a room that was on a higher level, so we could avoid the noise from the street.
Also, we would recommend that you request a room is quiet as there is a bus parking lot next to some of the rooms.
The view from our patio was pretty sad (weeds and rubbish), so maybe request a room with a view on the pool.

3. Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort and Spa Review
Welcome to our personal favourite resort in Hoi An! We have personally stayed here twice now and loved it both times!
Definately one of the best Hoi An accommodation options if you don't mind staying by the beach.
Some of the best features of this resort are:
- the amazing and super relaxing beach-front facing pool,
- the delicious buffet breakfasts
- awesome Japanese decorated ocean view suites with their own Jacuzzi's and the outdoor showers.
Now, this is holidaying in style!
Of course, there are more choices of accommodation here, such as the smaller couples and family suites, and garden view rooms as well.
This resort is suitable for both, honeymooners and family holiday makers as well.
The buffet breakfast is to die for, the cocktails are delicious and the general blissful vibe will ensure that all your senses will be satisfied!

4. Hoi An Central Boutique Hotel and Spa Review
Although the name suggests that this hotel is situated in a central location of Hoi An, it is not as central to the Old Town as we would imagine.
It will take you approximately 15 minutes to walk to the Old Town, which in the typical Hoi An heat, is not that fun.
I would suggest for you to hire a scooter and commute to the Old Town like a local.
The Rooms in this hotel are super stylish, spacious and very comfortable. All of the rooms come with their own balcony and nicely stocked up bar fridge.
Our recommendation here, is to grab one of the Grand Deluxe rooms or a Signature Suite, because why not have the best!

5. River Suites Hoi An Review
If you are looking for a quiet little hotel that faces the river and is also located very close to the Old Town, then this hotel is a great pick for you.
We have personally stayed here for a few nights and we loved it!
This is my pick of the best cheap hotel in Hoi An Old Town!
Although it is a very small hotel, the rooms are quite spacious and come with their own free standing bath tub.
And if you feel like a little more relaxation, there is a pool here as well.
The pool is attached to the breakfast area, so it is not the most private spot to lounge at.
We still enjoyed it anyways!

La Residencia is a great, Spanish-inspired boutique hotel located only a stone through from the Old Town.
The rooms are super cozy with all the bells and whistles including a four-posted bed. The room decor takes you back to Vietnamese 1920's, which adds a bit of class and sophistication.
This hotel offers great Junior Suites as well as large Residence Suites too. Most of those have great city views, whilst some have partial river views as well.
It is best to request higher level rooms, in order to minimize the city noise.
The pool is located in the building's basement. In comparison to the other hotel choices, this one is a bit of a let down.

7. Hoi An River Town Hotel Review
This hotel is a great option for those travelers that enjoy beautiful sunsets, great pool times and of course the river views.
There is a great selection of rooms to suit both, couples and families. There are super cozy Executive River View Suites as well as interconnecting very comfy Deluxe rooms.
When you travel with kids, it is very important to keep your little ones close.
With the interconnecting rooms, this becomes not an issue. You can simply concentrate on relaxation, whilst ensuring a peace of mind.

8. Lasenta Boutique Hotel Hoi An Review
If you love a 5-Star treatment and a bit of luxury, but have it all for a price of 3-Star hotel, than this is the best hotel near Hoi An Old Town for you!
This hotel comes with tonnes of luxuries, such as an amazing pool, delicious food and of course relaxing setting with panoramic views.
If you would rather face the town, then of course you have that option too, but I would be asking you, why?
This hotel is located slightly away from the Old Town and I would recommend to use a scooter hire option to commute between the two. This way you will save yourself the hustle of walking too far.
You are on holidays after all, you are allowed to be a little lazy.

9. Hoi An Historic Hotel Review
This is a very modern and highly recommended of hotels in Hoi An Old Town.
There are tonnes of things to do here, including a session at the beauty room or a spa, enjoying a class of Tai Chi or taking advantage of the sizable sports gym.
Alternatively, if you are in any way like us, you can enjoy a swim in a large pool.
Choosing a room here is easy. If you want to save money, choose the Superior or a Deluxe room.
Alternatively, if you want to splurge out a little, than spoil yourself to a Grand Deluxe or straight to the Grand Suite (featured in the photo above) instead.

10. Little Beach Hoi An Boutique Hotel and Spa Review
If you are looking for a great beach resort with all the bells and whistles and still with a 4-Star price tag, than this is your best pick.
This resort is located at Cua Dai beach, which means that it is not a walking distance away from the Hoi An Old Town.
However, the cultural center of Hoi An can be easily reached by a shuttle bus or a scooter.
This hotel is suitable for both couples and family travelers. You can choose from a romantic Suite Room, spacious Ocean Deluxe Room or a Family Suite, just to mention a few.
Whichever you choose, all come with very comfy beds and fully stocked up bar fridge.

11. Vinh Hung Emerald Resort Review
If you are looking for a bit of a cozy hideaway from the business of the Old Town, then you can choose to stay here.
This little river side resort is still close to the center of Hoi An, but far enough away to have a bit more of a Village feel to it.
Most of the apartments have their own balconies which are facing towards the sizable pool.
This is a compact and very affordable little river side resort and it is suitable for both couples and families alike.

12. Hoi An Sincerity Hotel and Spa Review
Do you want a cheap hotel in Hoi An Old Town, than here it is!
This hotel has it all and for a fraction of the price of some of the other hotels here.
Yes, it will take you a 10 minute hike to get to the Old Town, but once at the hotel you will have it all under one roof.
Whether you choose to stay at the Deluxe Roow with a balcony, Suite Room or a Hotel Suite Balcony Room, rest assured that you are still going to save money here.
Added bonus here, the hotel also has their own pool, spa, bar, restaurant and a fitness center as well.

13. Hoi an Beach Resort Review
Great family resort with easy access to the beach and the river.
This resort's best features are the pool, great kids' club, activities and games room and of course the Deluxe Rooms with their own large balconies.
This resort offers two main types of rooms, such as the Deluxe Garden View Rooms and the Superior Rooms as well. Deluxe rooms, although older, offer better views and a full-sized tub. Our choice here!
Hoi An Beach Resort is located 6-km drive from the Hoi An Old Town.
You can hire a bicycle to ride to town, but we would recommend to choose a scooter instead. It is a faster way of transport and you will get a bit more breeze on the way, which helps in Vietnamese heat.

14. Vinh Hung Riverside Resort Review
Only a short walk away or a complimentary boat ride to and from the Old Town and you find yourself on a absolute river front at this funky resort.
The main features of this resort are of course the river front views, River View Suites and the River Front Bungalows.
Yes, it's all about river relaxation here!
The grounds of this charming river front resort are very well looked after and there are plenty of river front lounges to relax at as well.
Alternatively, you can choose to relax in a Sauna or in a hot tub.

15. Almanity Wellness Resort and Spa Review
This resort is all about being eco-friendly incorporating all the aspects of a wellness center. This resort offers inclusive daily 60 minute Spa Treatment, daily Yoga classes and unlimited access to the steam room and sauna.
During your stay you will not only be able to enjoy the traditional Vietnamese cuisine, but also you will explore four other international show kitchens.
And on top of that, you will be provided with Jazz performances at the resort's Blue Bottle Bar.
The rooms in this resort are all about relaxation and comfort. Paying a high price tag for the rooms, you should expect the best!
Apart from the usual, Standard, Deluxe and Classic rooms, you can spoil yourself to some special rooms like My Mind Room, My Energy Room, My Heart or My Soul Room.
Well, the choice is yours here, but all sound quite inviting to me.

16. Lantana Hoi An Boutique Hotel Review
Talk about a boutique hotel near Hoi An Old Town. This is definitely one of those little gems.
Although the pool is an indoor one, which might not suit most of the travelers, the rooms themselves are very stylish, modern and very comfortable.
You can choose from Superior or Twin Rooms with city views or river views.
Alternatively you can spoil yourself to Deluxe Room or if you are travelling as a family, you can choose the Family Connecting Room as well.
Regardless, you will have all the bells and whistles and with an affordable price tag.

Bonus: Tropical Beach Hoi An Resort Review
Although this is not the best resort in the Hoi An, we have stayed here recently and we really enjoyed it.
This resort has a bit older style rooms and not as cozy as the above 16 on the list.
However, the staff here was very friendly, the pool and the beach front area was super relaxing, and the cocktails were delicious.
If you choose to stay here, please make sure to book one of the rooms with the ocean view. Garden views are not that flash.
