Wake to the river.

No alarm — just light through linen curtains and the sound of water.

Breakfast by the water.

A slow morning on the terrace. Nowhere to be. Nothing to fix.

The spa. The pool.

A book you have been carrying for weeks finally gets opened.

The afternoon dissolves.

Blackout curtains drawn. Riverside quiet. Natural materials against your skin. Rest.

Cycle to the Ancient Town.

Lanterns, phở, the night market — ten minutes away, a world apart. Return before nine.

The turndown ritual begins.

Lemongrass on the pillow. Aromatherapy at the temples. The river outside. Sleep.

“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!!”

“I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Nghe Prana Hotel & Spa Hoi An. What truly set this apart was outstanding guest relations team guided by Hana. I was staying in another hotel in ancient town and cycling around Hoi An looking for a better hotel. This hotel is located right on the serene Thu Bon River in Cam Nam with perfect peaceful island vibe. From the moment I arrived, Hana helped us to arrange for room preference with good rate. She helped us to ensure our safety and arrange trasportation during night tour in Ancient town. A special thank you to Hana, who is above and beyond by helping us with last minute walk in room booking with her dedication, special care, warm attitude and quick problem solving made us feel incredibly valued. The room were comfortable and location was perfect. We will definitely return because of outstanding hospitality!”

“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 .”
