The hype
Travelers rave about the staff (specifically Lily and Luna) and the breakfast spread, but often wish it was slightly closer to the lantern-lit streets.
Grand Sunrise Palace Hoi An
$70-150/ nuit
Réservez si You want a 5-star 'Indochine' aesthetic and a rooftop pool without the chaotic noise (or price tag) of the Old Town center.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Stunning rooftop pool with views of the rice paddies and city
- Exceptional breakfast buffet with both Western and Vietnamese stations
- Free shuttle service that bridges the 2km gap to the Ancient Town
En bref : It calls itself a 'Palace' and mostly looks the part, but the location is a 30-minute walk from the action and the 'adults-only' marketing is confusingly contradicted by a kids' club.
Évalué par @jiannacapri: I honestly thought the price was a typo. For $60, I got a stunning Indochine suite, a massive soaking tub, and the most peaceful mornings cycling through rice paddies. It’s a total hidden gem in Hoi An.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'soundproof' windows struggle against the Cua Dai street traffic during rush hour, and some 'luxury' touches like towels can feel a bit worn.
- You don't mind cycling 10-15 minutes to get to the main sights
- You want a modern, clean pool area to escape the humidity
- You appreciate a high-end breakfast included in the rate
Propreté et entretien
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and diligent. Most guests report spotless floors and crisp sheets.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally excellent, though a few recent reviews noted minor water leaks or worn grout in specific rooms.
- Maintenance: Good, but showing slight signs of wear (peeling paint on balconies, older towels) typical of the humid climate.
- Linens & towels: Clean but sometimes described as 'tired' or 'scratchy' rather than plush luxury.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of lemongrass and ginger; rooms are generally fresh with no lingering smoke issues.

Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is it really adults-only?
No. Despite some OTA tags, they have a kids' club, children's pool, and family suites. It is very much family-friendly.
How far is the Old Town?
It's about 2.5km. A 30-minute walk (hot!), 10-minute bike ride, or 5-minute taxi/shuttle.
Is the pool heated?
No. It's an outdoor pool that relies on the Vietnamese sun. It can be brisk in the winter months (Dec-Feb).
Does the room actually have a fireplace?
Some listings claim this, but it's typically a decorative electric console, not a wood-burning hearth. Don't pack firewood.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, for most rates. It's a highlight with a mix of Western pastry stations and made-to-order Pho/Egg stations.
Can I walk to the beach?
It's about 2.5km to Cua Dai Beach or An Bang Beach. Not a quick stroll; take the bike or shuttle.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Ask for a room ending in odd numbers on the upper floors for the best chance of a rice paddy view.
- ✨
The 'Afternoon Tea' voucher often given to long-stay guests is basic but a nice break from the heat.
- ✨
The spa runs 'Happy Hour' promotions that are often cheaper than booking in advance online.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Fireplace' listed in rooms is a bizarre decorative electric unit that adds zero heat but lots of confusion.
💡The gym is functional but small—don't expect a full CrossFit box.
💡You might hear roosters in the early morning from the neighboring local houses (part of the charm?).
💡The 'City View' is often just a view of the street and other buildings; 'Pool View' is superior.
💡The shuttle bus fills up fast in peak season—book your return trip when you book your departure.
