There are so many places to stay in Hoi An that figuring out which hotel to choose can take hours. Lucky for you, we’ve already spent ages doing the research and staying in lots of different places in the city. These are the places we would recommend for every budget.

Best Hostels in Hoi An
Tipi Hostel
Rating 8.8, $9 single bed in dorm, $18 double room, breakfast included
We stayed here and liked it. This friendly hostel is in a great location just steps from Minh Hien, our favourite vegetarian restaurant in town. This hostel is a great place for meeting backpackers and other travellers and is my pick for one of the best hostels in Hoi An.
My only complaint was the lack of privacy in the dorm room, which just had three single beds squeezed in side-by-side. I would have preferred a little more space or a few curtains to divide the room a bit!

Vinstar Hotel
Rating 9.7, $17 double room, great breakfast included
We stayed here and loved it! We discovered the Vinstar because it was in the same neighbourhood as The Volar, where we stayed for almost a week. I knew immediately that I wanted to stay at the Vinstar for a night, just to try it out. I’m so glad we did!
This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in Vietnam. Spotlessly clean, super quiet, comfy beds in friendly rooms, and with the best rental bicycles in town, the Vinstar is a notch above other places in this price range.
The family who owns the Vinstar are exceptionally warm, friendly, and helpful, too. Oh, and breakfast was delicious!
It’s about a 15-minute walk / 7-minute bike ride from the Ancient Town but there are great restaurants nearby, including the popular Claypot Restaurant and one of our new favourites, Rom Bistro.

Homestay Volar
Rating 9.3, $21 double room, good breakfast included
We stayed here and really liked it! On our most recent trip to Hoi An, where I’m currently writing this, we decided to rent an apartment and stay for two months. While searching for our home, we stayed at the Volar for a week – it started to feel a little like home.
The staff here are super-friendly and fluent in English, so we always felt really welcome when we returned. It’s not really a homestay, but after a few days it did feel like home! They also went above and beyond, receiving some packages for us, even after we’d already checked out!
Our room had a balcony overlooking the pool, was extra-large, very clean, and with a nice comfy bed. It’s on a quiet street, so there wasn’t even any need for earplugs at night!
It’s about a 15-minute walk / 7-minute bike ride from the Ancient Town but there are lots of good places to eat nearby, including the popular Rosies Cafe and the delicious Rom Bistro.
