I first came to Hoi An Hotel with an Intrepid group in 2001, and despite having a cheaper room across from the school, loved the place so much that I came back with my friend, in a Superior room which with taxes came to over $90 a night.
Positives: Hoi An is still a charming town, and Hoi An Hotel is well located with lovely well kept grounds. The room and the breakfast compare with the 3 star hotels we have stayed in VietNam at much cheaper rates.
Negatives: Room: a lot of noise! In the Charm Wing near the dining areas and kitchen etc. It is 6 am and we can hear the staff calling out to each other. Also the Hotel has had 3 wedding receptions in the last 2 days, complete with MC and amplified music. They do stop by 8 pm but yesterday there was loud music in the middle of the day and instead of a siesta I just got a headache. At this point I must add that the wooden shutters and sliding doors do not insulate from noise, including the squeaky electric cart coming to pick up luggage!
They have an inventory of what is in the room. I was concerned that the 945,000 dong kimonos were nowhere to be found and that we were going to be charged for them. Queried this, were told “they don’t have them in this wing”… but they are still on the inventory, along with the cups, glasses, etc… and a warning that we get charged with anything lost or removed
A lot of ants in the room, at one point all over this laptop. When we arrived there was still sand on the floor which got on our feet and in the bed.
Bathroom: poor water pressure in the shower and small and thin towels.
Reception staff: about 6 and 7, not friendly, I felt I was disturbing them with my query.
Internet: very spasmodic, have had better in the Central Highlands and in Hoi An Old Town.
We are planning a return visit to Hoi An but doubt we will stay here.
