Hoi An Vietnam part 2

I was lucky to find a great hotel on AGODA.com for my stay in Hoi An. It met the most important, criteria.....cheap hahaha errr I mean value for money! A two night stay was only going to cost RM328 in a superior room. The hotel......Ancient House Resort.
It's called Ancient House because a 200 year old house is located within the hotel compound. More about that later.

The back of the hotel is on the banks of a river. Cua Dai beach is 3km down the road. You could take a hotel bicycle to get there or the hotel shuttle that will drop you off at a beach restaurant.

The town centre is 1.5km in the opposite direction.

The rooms are laid out around a lush garden with the pool in the centre. My room was on the first floor.

The rooms from the hotel lobby


Lush greenery all over the hotel
The lobby is up the stairs
   The "wow" moment came the minute I stepped into the room


The room was tastefully decorated with a colonial style. The four posted bed took pride of place. There were flowers from the garden and a nice touch were some local cakes and fruits.

The TV has satellite channels but you could also buy some DVD's and use the DVD player that comes with the room.
The bathroom was just great too
Breakfast was simple and wonderful, a mix of local and western food. Loved it!
The restaurant where breakfast is served



 The friendly staff were always happy to explain about the local food served. I stuffed my face each morning!

At the back of the hotel is a 200 year old house and rice paper noodles are made there. A lovely lady took the time to explain the whole process to me. A tourist attraction right in the hotel.











This little charming hotel is 5 star in my book!
