Hoi An Travel Lodge Hotel

Rooms and decor

Hoi An Travel Lodge Hotel on Nguyen Truong To street is a plain white four-storey colonial-style block that reads cleaner and newer than its price tag, which makes sense — it opened in 2015. The Deluxe rooms run about 28 sqm and start near $23 a night. They feel fresh, with soft king beds, crisp pressed white linen, and modern cream-and-grey walls. The white-tiled bathroom has a decent-pressure rain shower, and the amenities are all there: body wash, shampoo, four towels, cold air-con, a flat-screen TV with international channels, fast Wi-Fi, and a kettle with free refillable tea and coffee.

Food and amenities

Here is the part that surprises guests: at a budget 3-star rate, the top floor hides a rooftop indoor pool under a soft-lit glass roof, the water warm enough to swim through a rain shower, with a sauna and steam room alongside. The in-house spa does a 60-minute foot massage for around 350,000 VND (about $14) — better quality than the price implies. The ground-floor restaurant serves a small but complete breakfast buffet: pho, banh mi, fried eggs, fruit, and strong black Vietnamese coffee.

Location and getting there

The address sits on the northwest edge of the Old Town, and that is the whole point — it is only about 0.4 km, a 5-10 minute walk, into the lantern district, past orange-red lights, old wooden-house lanes, and the nearby Japanese Covered Bridge. The famous Banh Mi Phuong is roughly an 8-minute walk. The hotel rents cheap bikes for easy rides to the in-town pagodas and the morning market, and runs a paid transfer to Da Nang International Airport, about 28 km north. It earns roughly 4.7/5 on Tripadvisor across 400-plus reviews — a fair reason it makes the list.

Things to know before booking

This is a 3-star, so set expectations: the facilities are well-kept but basic, with no rooftop bar and no full gym, and the lobby is functional rather than a scene. You are on the edge of the Old Town, not inside the lantern core, so the last stretch to the river is on foot. And rates climb in high season while the cheapest rooms sell out fast, so the $23 floor only holds if you book early.

Our take

Hoi An Travel Lodge Hotel is the right call for backpackers, value-minded couples, and travelers who want a clean room a short walk from the Old Town starting near $23 a night. At 8.8/10, it is a value pick that real guests stand behind.
