Ngo Homestay Hoi An — Hotel in Hội An

A lucky find for our stay in Hoi An! We loved being right in the heart of the night market of Hoi An and with a 5 minute walk across the island to the main area of the town. Loan, pictured with us in the middle, called us a taxi from where we ate lunch to the homestay to help us avoid trying to find the location while lugging around our backpacks. Owned by a sweet and hospitable family, my boyfriend and I were happily greeted when we arrived with green tea and an intro to the city. We loved the big breakfast and the use of the perfect little pool. This homestay has 2 buildings just one block apart, so even if you stay in the location without the pool (like we did), all you have to do is walk 1-2 minutes to the other building and it was no inconvenience at all! A great plus is that we wanted to do a day trip to Hue and one of the staff arranged it with just one phone call for the very next morning. This was after we went and tried to book it through a recommended hostel/travel agency previously recommended to us but they looked at us like we were crazy when we told them we wanted to do a day trip to Hue, where as in this homestay they said of course we can arrange it! So just because they may appear to be a small homestay, they actually had better resources than a bigger hostel! We loved the great quality rooms and didn't mind sharing a bathroom with another couple staying on the top floor if it meant paying a bit less. We took advantage of the cheap bike rentals as well as the laundry service. Definitely would come back, thank you to this lovely family for enhancing our Hoi An...

Ngo House Villa aka Ngo Homestay Hoi An. Room 305 - small loft room at the top of the stairs with a tiny balcony.

Loan is very friendly, nice and easy to talk to. Location is awesome and close to Old Town. The building and room feels clean and comfortable. The bed and the bedding was fantastic and all of the amenities a guy could ask for.

The loft room is a bit cheaper to rent and below is why. There is a ventilation drum/shaft that's incomplete and it is open directly to the outside. You can actually see that it's incomplete and the sky by standing on the bed and look into the cement opening. Noticed it when it started raining last night and I heard loud dripping from the ventilation drum. I also noticed a lot of mosquitos in the room and I can just assume that it's because of the unrestricted big hole in the ventilation shaft..

Also, every time someone is using water, a pump or generator is started and it feels like the sound is very close. Sadly it woke me up every time the pump started...

Wonderful experience start to finish! Upon arrival we were greeted with tea, and fruit while they helped us set up any tours or excursions we were considering doing while in Hoi An. She set up the tours for us as best she could according to the weather as it was due to rain our entire trip. Although she did her best a little rain was unavoidable. We were given advice on a couple of preferred tailors to visit, and even though we wound up going elsewhere it was a great addition having so many local recommendations.

When we finally saw our room we were blown away with how clean and cozy it was! Arguably the best stay we had on our entire trip to Vietnam! They even invited us for a complimentary breakfast on our last day before leaving! The chartered cars were on time and very good drivers. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Hoi An. They are within walking distance of old town but far enough away from the noise and crowds to get a good...
