Én Retreat Hoi An
$15-35/ yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want a budget-friendly, rice-paddy sanctuary away from the Old Town tourist crush and are comfortable riding a scooter or bicycle.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Serene views of lush rice paddies right from the balcony
- A sparkling, self-cleaning pool that feels like a private oasis
- Genuine local village vibe in Cam Thanh, far from the tailor-shop touts
Pikakatsaus: A charmingly rustic budget retreat that delivers silence and scenery, provided you don't mind a 10-minute Grab ride to civilization and the occasional ant invasion.
Arvioinut @GodovNerds: I arrived here in total survival mode, but this room completely reset me. The stone tub overlooking the garden was the main event—I spent hours soaking there. It felt earthy, calm, and exactly like the tropical sanctuary I needed after a chaotic travel day.

FAQ & Piilotut vinkit
Kaikki mitä haluat todella tietää ennen varaamista.
Is it walkable to the Old Town?
No. It is a 3km distance, which is a sweaty 45-minute walk. You need wheels.
Is there a pool?
Yes, a clean, well-maintained outdoor pool that is the highlight of the property.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, usually included. It's a simple à la carte menu (eggs, pancakes, pho) chosen the night before.
Are there restaurants nearby?
A few local gems are within walking distance, but the main dining hub is in town.
Can I rent a scooter at the hotel?
Yes, but proceed with caution. Reviews cite strict late fees and rudeness. We recommend renting from a reputable shop in town.
Is it quiet?
Very. It is set back from the main roads, surrounded by fields.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- ✨
Walk 10 minutes to 'The Field Restaurant' for a stunning eco-dining experience on a bamboo raft.
- ✨
Don't pay the hotel for 'instant noodles' in the room; buy them at the local mini-mart for 1/3 the price.
- ✨
Ask for a room *away* from the neighbor's house to avoid awkward bathroom eye contact.
