Vietnam Hotels: Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I stay in Vietnam?
Most travelers split their stay between Hanoi (Old Quarter or Hoan Kiem), one night in Ha Long Bay or Ninh Binh, a beach stop in Da Nang, and District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City. This north-to-south route covers Vietnam’s highlights in 8–10 days.
What are the best hotels in Hanoi?
For a 5-star base, Grand Vista Hotel Hanoi is a strong choice, while Sky Gem Central Hotel offers good 4-star value. Hotels near the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake are best for first-time visitors because the main sights, restaurants and night markets are within walking distance.
Where is the best area to stay in Ho Chi Minh City?
District 1 is the best area for most visitors: Ben Thanh Market, Nguyen Hue walking street and the main museums are nearby. Recommended hotels include New World Hotel Saigon (5-star) and The Odys Boutique Hotel (4-star boutique).
Is it better to stay overnight in Ha Long Bay?
Yes, if your schedule allows. Ha Long Bay is about 2.5–3 hours by road from Hanoi, so an overnight stay in a bay hotel or on a cruise lets you enjoy sunset and sunrise over the karsts without a long same-day return.
Which Vietnamese city is best for a beach hotel?
Da Nang is the most convenient beach city, with long sandy beaches, modern hotels such as Yarra Ocean Suites Danang and easy access to Hoi An. Nha Trang and Phu Quoc are also popular beach destinations, and we can arrange hotels there on request.
How much does a hotel in Vietnam cost?
Vietnam offers excellent value compared with most of Asia. Hotel prices vary by city, season and star rating; the easiest way to compare is a complete Vietnam tour package, which runs from about €635 to €1,685 per person for 8–13 days including hotels and transfers.
What is the best time to visit Vietnam?
March to May and September to November generally offer the most comfortable weather across the country. Northern Vietnam is cool in winter, central Vietnam has its rainy season in autumn, and the south is warm all year.
How many days do I need in Vietnam?
Eight to ten days is enough for Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. Allow 12–13 days if you want to add Ninh Binh, a beach stay or a side trip to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat.
Can I book hotels in Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Sapa or Mui Ne?
