Overview

If budget is the deciding factor, the backpacker quarter around Hung Vuong, Nguyen Thien Thuat and Biet Thu streets is where to look. It's a few blocks packed with small hotels, hostels and guesthouses, from roughly 200,000₫ for a dorm bed to 700,000₫ for a double with a window.

The real advantage isn't only the price but the position: about three minutes' walk from Tran Phu beach, and right in among the food, the sidewalk coffee, the motorbike rentals and the island-tour desks. You won't need a vehicle for anything.

This is a district rather than a hotel, so this page has no pin and no room count. How to use it: walk Hung Vuong, Nguyen Thien Thuat and Biet Thu and compare a few places on the spot — in the October-to-December low season you can usually turn up, while the summer peak and public holidays want booking.

One thing to weigh when picking a room here: the quarter is noisy late, because it is where the eating and drinking happens. If you sleep lightly, ask for a high floor away from the street — the same advice applies at La Mer at 6D Hung Vuong, inside the same area.

  • From around 200,000₫ a night

Practical tips
