Located in central Vietnam, Hoi An is a charming city, a magnet for lovers of authentic culture, a well-preserved Ancient Town which is famous for the outstanding mix of French colonial, Chinese and Japanese architecture. But where to stay in Hoi An is still a question that receives a lot of visitor’s concerns, especially from those who come to Hoi An old town for the first time. If you haven’t made up your mind yet, here are some suggestions to stay in Hoi An for you.

Best Area to Stay in Hoi An

For convenience, there are two main areas to stay in this UNESCO World Heritage Site which are at the beach and in town. Whether you like to stay near the historical sites in town to explore the night market and nightlife or relax on the breathtaking beaches of Hoi An, the answer depends on your travel style and interests.

Near the Beach

If you love the beach, Hoi An is an enticing destination for you. The beach here is relatively unspoiled by development, making it a perfect option for you to soak up the sun, swim or enjoy other seaside activities.

The best time for the beach is from February to July. You can stay in a hotel or a resort with beachfront or near one of the most popular beaches in Hoi An such as An Bang Beach, Cua Dai Beach, My Khe Beach, Binh Minh Beach, Ha My Beach or Coconut Beach…

In Central Town

Unlike most of the places in Vietnam, Hoi An Old Town in the city center is a friendly ancient street, an interesting place to walk around, admire the amazing architecture, sample the local food, wander the riverside market, or just to buy some clothes tailored.

This is also one of the must-come places in Vietnam. Though Hoi An has both dry season and rainy season, you can visit the town year around. Particularly on the 14th day of every lunar month, there is a Lantern Festival and the old town will mesmerize you with colourful lanterns, lively gatherings and ceremonies.

Comparison

Staying at the beach or in town has its own advantage and disadvantage. Below is some helpful information for your consideration:

Place	Advantage	Disadvantage
Beach	Accommodation at the beach is bigger, often with large pools and have more facilities. The beach offers a very different experience than staying in the town.	There are limited restaurant options by beach resorts.
Town	There are a lot of tourist spots in town. Take a taxi, moto-taxi, or shuttle from the beach resorts or get back to the hotel on foot is easier. It’s more convenient to have an outing, whether it is the day or not. Everything from restaurants to shops is within short walking distance. Hotels in town are also cheaper.	You need to rent a bicycle/motorbike to get to the sea from the town. Hotels in town are smaller.
