Accommodation budget once you land in Hoi An:
| Area | Tier | Typical nightly rate | Why stay here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ancient Town edge | Budget | $15–40/night | Guesthouses and small hotels just outside the pedestrian core, close enough to walk in for the evening but away from the tour-group crush. |
| Cam Nam / riverside | Mid-range | $45–110/night | Across the river from the Ancient Town, quieter and greener, with boutique hotels and easy bicycle access to both the town and the rice fields. |
| An Bang Beach | Luxury | $120–350/night | Beachfront resorts fifteen minutes northeast of town, for travellers who want sea and pool time alongside the heritage sightseeing. |
Top things to do in Hoi An:
- Ancient Town and the Japanese Covered Bridge: The UNESCO-listed core, best walked in the early morning or after dark. A ticket covers entry to a set of heritage houses and assembly halls.
- Lantern-lit riverfront evenings: The Thu Bon riverfront fills with lanterns and boats each night — the image most people arrive with, and it holds up.
- Tailoring: Hoi An's tailors will make garments to measure within a few days. Allow time for a fitting rather than ordering on the last evening.
- An Bang Beach: The nearest beach, a short bicycle or taxi ride from town, with beach bars and calm water outside the storm months.
