We stayed at the Victoria Hoi An after 5 days in Hanoi. We were so happy we booked a hotel on the beach, as Hoi An was a nice sunny change and a slower pace than the craziness of Hanoi, so we were happy to just chill by the pool and beach and slow down for a bit before heading in to Saigon, which we'd heard was even CRAZIER than Hanoi. The hotel was comfortable and beachy (we were given an upgrade to a beach-front room because they had the rooms free- so our room was like a gorgeous hut- air conditioned and with tranquility of the waves crashing during the night.)
The hotel organises a shuttle bus to ferry into the Old Town during the day and evening. At first when we looked at the shuttle bus hours, we thought they were a bit infrequent, but then we realised that there's not that much to do in the Old Town, so if you plan your days and the bus you want to catch to and from the hotel, its actually a really good free service. We did try walking the 5km from the hotel to the main town one day, but in the 30 degree heat- and with people hasselling you to buy stuff all along the way- it's much better to catch the bus. Or a taxi.

This hotel complex has gotten a bit long in the tooth....
The brick flooring outdoor really requires a change as well as the various fishponds need an urgent cleaning! The entire setting however of this resort is certainly an attraction as its right by the sea allthough the beach is quite narrow due to the strong current of the sea.

The breakfast buffet is really an attraction and nicely presented.

The pool side has probably been renovated lately at least the floor seamed quite contemporary. But if you look for the details and a top class hotel this might not be the perfect hideaway for you...Unless they consider a total renovation, I would probably favor other hotels nearby for the future.

Nice hotel but a little bit dated. Located out of town. Good pool and spa. Loved the food that we ate around the pool. The rice paper rolls and pho were delicious. Great cocktails. Breakfast was really good, lots of variety. Loved the girls working at breakfast so happy and friendly especially Hiep (hope that is the correct spelling). Only things we were disappointed in were the bed (really hard) and the shower. You have to step into the shower as it was over the spa and wide open. The staff were really helpful and nice and the shuttle runs into town on a regular basis. Can't wait to go back to Hoi An. The food is sensational. If the Victoria were to undergo an update would stay there again for sure.
