“The best place to stay in Hoi An. We stayed for 5 nights and had the best time at this boutique hotel. The rooms are very nice, the bed is extremely comfortable, and we had a nice view of the sunset. The swimming pool area is really nice as well. Breakfast was amazing with lots of options. They have free bicycles which is great because you can get to the city center in 10 mins and also go to the beach through the rice fields (aprox 40 mins). They also have some shuttle options which are complementary. The staff was great! Front desk staff really helpful and friendly. Especially Katy who checked us in and Vi who helped us with a situation we had during our stay. Very personalized stay as well. Recommend staying for at least 3/4 nights for getting the best out of town/beach nearby/and a day chilling in the hotel. I wanted to leave this comment on Booking but I couldn’t. Thank you!!”

“We absolutely fell in love with this hotel, it was truly amazing. |We had been travelling Vietnam and this was our last hotel and I'm so pleased it was.|From the minute we arrived we were greeted by Katy and Hannah who were super friendly and helpful and this remained throughout our stay here.|The hotel is small but perfectly situated alongside the river which makes it such a serene and peaceful place to stay. |Our room was fabulous very clean, light and airy with a super view of the river. The bed was very comfortable. Air con worked well as did the WiFi.|The pool was a welcome treat in the afternoon when the heat was too much, we very much enjoyed a leisurely swim with a cheeky cocktail in hand !|The breakfast was great, and so were the dinners and lunch we enjoyed, cooked very well and delicious.|The hotel is situated a little outside the ancient town the free shuttle came in handy ,but also a grab taxi cost about £1.|We were truly sad to leave, as we met some super people, we have spoken highly of the hotel to our family and friends and hope to return soon .”

“We absolutely loved our stay.The location is great, extremely quiet and out of the way but not too far into the old town at all. There are free bicycles available if you don’t fancy walking.Stephanie, Katy and all the rest of the hotel staff were always friendly and helpful and really made us feel welcome the whole time. Breakfast is really good quality and again, all staff are more than welcoming and helpful for any requirements. The hotel is beautiful and amazing value for money, we stayed in a junior suite and it was exactly what we expected and loved every minute.We booked the Hoi An Memories show and a trip to Marble mountain through reception and it was a very smooth process and prices were very reasonable. We would highly recommend staying here and will not hesitate to book again when we next visit Hoi An.”

Kate Festival 2026 (Lễ Hội Katê): The Cham People's Biggest Festival, and Its Link to Mỹ Sơn near Hội An
Katê is the most important festival of Vietnam's Cham people — three days of temple-tower rituals, costume processions, Ginăng drums and Saranai horns, held each year on the first day of the seventh Cham month (usually late September to early October; 2026 expected around early October). It happens at the Cham towers of Ninh Thuận and Khánh Hòa, far to the south — but its roots are the same Champa civilisation that built Mỹ Sơn near Hội An. This guide explains Katê, flags the approximate 2026 date honestly, and ties it to the Cham heritage on our own doorstep.
Vietnam National Day 2026 (Quốc Khánh, 2 September) in Hội An & Đà Nẵng: What's Open, What's On, and the Honest Crowd Guide
Vietnam's National Day — Quốc khánh, 2 September — falls on a Wednesday in 2026, anchoring a five-day public-holiday window from 29 August to 2 September. It is the year's biggest domestic-travel surge, and Hội An and Đà Nẵng both fill up. This is the practical, honest guide: the verified dates and the official day-swap, what's open and what's closed, the Đà Nẵng boat racing and fireworks, transport realities, and the quiet riverside way to enjoy the holiday rather than fight it.
Lễ Vu Lan 2026 in Hội An (Vietnam's Filial-Piety Festival): The Date, the Rose-Pinning Ritual & How It's Observed on the Thu Bồn
Lễ Vu Lan — Vietnam's Buddhist festival of filial piety, báo hiếu — falls on the full moon of the seventh lunar month, which is Thursday, 27 August 2026. This is the honest, source-checked guide to what the day means, the bông hồng cài áo rose-pinning ritual (red rose for a living mother, white for one who has passed), the floating-candle hoa đăng releases, and how the day is observed at Hội An's old pagodas and along the Thu Bồn — written from a riverside hotel a few minutes from the Old Town.
Where to See Boat Racing (Đua Thuyền) in Central Vietnam — and Why It's Not on the "Dragon Boat Festival"
Vietnam does have thrilling long-boat racing — drums, hundreds of rowers, whole villages on the riverbank. It just doesn't happen on Tết Đoan Ngọ, the day English speakers call the "Dragon Boat Festival." Vietnamese đua thuyền and bơi trải races run on their own calendars, with the biggest tied to National Day on 2 September. Here's where boat racing actually happens in central Vietnam, when, and how it differs from the festival the name leads you to expect.
Tết Đoan Ngọ Explained: Vietnam's Mid-Year Festival, the Rượu Nếp Tradition, and How It's Marked in Central Vietnam
On the 5th day of the 5th lunar month — Friday 19 June in 2026 — Vietnamese families wake to fermented sticky rice eaten before breakfast, bowls of sour summer fruit, and a noon offering to drive out the year's "pests." This is Tết Đoan Ngọ, the mid-year cleansing festival, and it looks nothing like the dragon-boat races the name suggests abroad. Here is what the day means, the rượu nếp ritual at its centre, and the distinctly central-Vietnam version of it you'll find around Hội An.
Dragon Boat Festival in Vietnam 2026: What It Actually Is (Tết Đoan Ngọ), the Date, and the China-vs-Vietnam Confusion Explained
Searching for the "Dragon Boat Festival in Vietnam" leads most travellers to the wrong picture. The date — the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, which falls on Friday 19 June in 2026 — is shared with China's Duanwu, but in Vietnam the day is Tết Đoan Ngọ, the mid-year "pest-killing" festival of fermented sticky rice and seasonal fruit, not a day of dragon-boat racing. This is the honest, source-checked version: what the day really is in Vietnam, the verified 2026 date, where the dragon-boat idea comes from, and where you actually see boat racing here.
