Hotel warning – our experience. Hoi An: AIRA Boutique HotelJust wanted to share our experience in case it helps other travelers.We stayed at a beachfront hotel (paid about $136/night) and were quite disappointed. The location is good, but it’s not very quiet – there’s a restaurant next door with drunk guests and barking dogs, and a karaoke beach bar in front.The biggest issue was the hotel maintenance and service. The pool area is very run down: muddy/sandy deck, dirty and broken chairs, and pool houses with deteriorated palm roofs where blue plastic is visible underneath. Every morning we had to ask staff to clean the chairs, which should really be done before guests arrive.Service was also disappointing. When we raised our concerns, the hotel first offered to pay the transfer to our next hotel, but after learning we were going to Hue they changed it to only paying half ($29). Considering the price we paid per night, this felt quite unreasonable.Our attic room was spacious but dark, no beach view (blocked by buildings), and we initially had no hot water until asking them to turn it on.I’ve traveled a lot across Asia and honestly this was below the standard of most hotels in this price range. The room cleaning staff were kind, but overall we felt our concerns were not taken seriously by management.Just something to keep in mind if you’re looking for accommodation in the area.Best,

Agoda next time
I stayed in 3 star boutique hotels during my trip.was very statisified wit their service and overall cleanliness.👍
Next door is under half the price and so much better.
This is helpful as I am planning a trip there. Thank you for sharing!
Highly recommend the Sunrise Palace Hotel in Hoi An. Beautiful, serene hotel with a fantastic, friendly staff!
The issue is this hotel prides itself on being the only 4 star hotel in the village so many people book it for this reason . Hotel ratings are not accurate in Vietnam. It is one of the older places to stay in the an bang village and likely needing maintenance. There is nothing wrong with choosing one of the violas – B&B style. Most are very good and have lovely staff.
3.5m VND per night?
All the hotels we have stayed in Hoi An have been extremely excellent but you do always get one best advice find a good travel agent to to the work for you we are next out here for 21 days counting the months down till we are back
