Hotels in Vietnam

Whether you want bright lights and shopping in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, or prefer the beauty of nature in Da Nang and Nha Trang with white sandy beaches and mountains, there are hotels in Vietnam to suit your budget. Fly into Hanoi and take a bus at the airport for the city centre. Consider staying at the Hanoi Royal Palace Hotel 2 in the Old Quarter. Bus travel is one of the public transport options in Vietnam's main cities – tickets are easily affordable and can be purchased at your hotel or a travel agency. Use a combination of train and bus when travelling to places between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi – some remote attractions, such as Hoi An, are only reachable by bus from nearby larger towns. Train tickets are also easily affordable, and can be bought at the station or online.

Vietnam has attractions for every taste and budget, and there are cheap hotels in Vietnam where you can base yourself to explore the sights. The ancient village of Hoi An is not to be missed – located in central Vietnam this UNESCO heritage site is brimming with history, local restaurants and is a short trip away from rice paddies and the beaches. Stay at Ally Beach Boutique Hotel Hoian, a short drive from the Hoi An Ancient Town. In Da Nang, visit the Golden Bridge – located in the Sun World Ba Na Hills amusement park, so you’ll need to pay the small entrance fee for the park to walk on this bridge. There are many temples and pagodas in Vietnam and one that is free to visit is the mosaicked Buddhist shrine of Linh Phuoc Pagoda, a short train ride from Da Lat.

Nightlife in Vietnam extends beyond the traditional nightclub vibes and embraces late night dining at restaurants, night markets and dancing the night away at a beach disco bar on one of the islands like Phu Quoc. For clubbing, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi both offer a range of options from laid-back bars and cafes to upmarket clubs. Book hotels in Vietnam with your budget in mind – stay at the Eden Garden Hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City – this area, popular with backpackers and budget travellers, has a lively nightlife with a selection of bars and clubs. Foodies have their pick of cuisine from food stalls and bustling food markets selling local delicacies, to traditional restaurants. Some famous dishes include Bun Cha (meatballs), Pho Noodles – a soup made with chicken, beef or pork and noodles and Banh Mi, which are Vietnamese sandwiches. Consider which Vietnam hotels to stay in so you can sample the variations on the popular dishes as you travel outside the main cities.

If you are on the quest for art galleries, Hanoi with its Art Vietnam Gallery and Ho Chi Minh City with the Fine Arts Museum have a good range of opportunities for art lovers. Traditional dance is an important art form in the country and you can experience this in the mountainous region around Sapa. Immerse yourself in some of the history of the country and venture to Hue, which used to be the capital city in Vietnam. Visit the Royal Palace of the Imperial City in Hue, wandering through the monuments and temples, as well as popping into the museum and royal rooms within the palace. Stay at the Soleil Boutique in Hue to be within easy walking distance of the Imperial City. A short drive outside Hue, along the Perfume River, continue your historical journey with a visit to the Hon Chen Temple in Ngoc Ho Village.
