Our tip - where we stayed
Below we add our personal tip for the beautiful and affordable accommodation where we spent our stay in Hoi An.
Loc Phat Hoi An Homestay
This very nice family-run guesthouse is located about 1.5 km from the historic centre of Hoi An, which is easily accessible on foot.
There are plenty of nice restaurants nearby, and the LK02 line, which goes to the sea or to Da Nang, also stops right on the corner.
The rooms themselves have windows facing the beautiful gardens where you can sit out, and in the mornings the hotel also hosts a group yoga session. Scooters are available for rent, and the owners are also happy to arrange tours and other activities.
