Hoi An Ancient House Resort And Spa

My 17-year-old son and I absolutely love Hoi An Ancient House & Spa — it’s full of authentic Vietnamese charm and feels like a little oasis away from the bustle of the ancient town. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated in traditional style, and surrounded by lush tropical gardens that make it peaceful and private. The pool area is beautiful, with plenty of umbrellas and sun lounges, and it never feels crowded — a perfect place to relax after exploring. It’s about a 25-minute walk to the ancient town, which we actually love because it means you can enjoy the quiet side of Hoi A while still being close to all the action. There are plenty of local restaurants and mini marts nearby and the free bikes make getting around super easy. The hotel also runs a regular shuttle to both the ancient town and the beach, which is really convenient. The staff are what make this place truly special. Nothing is ever too much trouble — everyone is warm and welcoming. A special mention to Anh on reception for being so lovely and helpful, and to Minh, who always greeted us with the biggest smile. Minh gave us great advice, helped us whenever we needed anything, and his positive energy was infectious. One of the highlights of our stay was the free traditional rice noodle workshop, hosted by Minh. It was held by the pool and included a visit to the 200-year-old ancient house on the property where the noodles are made — fascinating to see how they’re produced and to learn that they’re still distributed to local restaurants in Hoi An today. We’ve stayed here twice now — both times for 10 days — and honestly wouldn’t stay anywhere else when we return to Hoi An. It’s a truly special place.
