Where to Stay in Hoi An, Vietnam: Ngan Phu Villa

When you’re in a town as laid back as Hoi An, you’ll need a hotel to match. Ngan Phu Villa, with its garden setting and easygoing vibe, is that kind of place.

At the behest of many travelers, we decided to spend the longest stretch of our two-week Vietnam trip in Hoi An. As always, we needed a place that was intimate and inexpensive. We look for places to stay that are nice enough but cheap enough so we could be out and about without feeling pressured to “enjoy the room”. It’s for that reason why we often go with BnBs over large concrete hotels and Ngan Phu Villa, a boutique resort that we found off AirBnB, fit us nicely.

Ngan Phu Villa is located in an alley just off the main road. Hoi An is about 45 minutes from Da Nang so if you’re arriving at Da Nang International Airport, then it’s best to arrange for airport transfers with Ngan Phu Villa. We paid VND 300,000 each way which is about USD 13 at the time of this writing.
