In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Ha An Hotel Hoi An sits on Phan Boi Chau Street, a row of faded mustard-yellow French colonial buildings, and a small wooden door opens onto a garden courtyard with a big old frangipani at its center. The whole place feels like stepping into a colonial house from the 1920s. The Superior Garden View runs about 25 sqm from roughly $40 a night, fitted out in dark teak colonial furniture with brass lamps, a cast-iron ceiling fan, a king bed in ivory linens, and cream curtains. The bathroom keeps its old mint-green tiles with a rain shower and a small ceramic basin, and the toiletries carry a light pandan scent. The balcony looks straight down onto the courtyard greenery.
Food and amenities
The courtyard is the heart of the place — wooden tables and rattan chairs under the frangipani, a good corner to read with morning coffee and birdsong. Buffet breakfast is served right there: beef pho, banh xeo, fried eggs, fresh tropical fruit, and strong black Vietnamese coffee. Two small dining spots serve classic Vietnamese plates, and a little spa in the side building does a decent 60-minute foot massage for about $16. The free bikes get you almost anywhere worth reaching.
Location and getting there
Phan Boi Chau is the French colonial strip on the eastern edge of the Old Town, so the core, the Japanese Bridge, and the well-known Yaly tailor shop are only about a 6-minute walk away, past old timber houses and lanterns lit every evening. Da Nang International Airport is roughly 28 km out, about a 45-minute drive. This is an old favorite that has aged well — over 1,800 Tripadvisor reviews average around 4.6/5.
Things to know before booking
It's an older building, so rooms feel more period than polished — that's the trade for the colonial atmosphere. At 3-star level there is no large pool, just the courtyard and the small spa. And because the location and reputation pull steady demand, rooms fill fast in high season, so book well ahead.
Our take
Ha An Hotel Hoi An suits couples and travelers who want to soak up French colonial charm in the middle of the Old Town from around $40 a night. It quietly holds a 8.9/10 real-guest score while drawing far less attention than the newer resorts most visitors book — character and courtyard over modern gloss and big facilities.

Insider Tips
- Take morning coffee in the garden courtyard under the frangipani before the day heats up.
- Grab one of the free bikes and ride the Old Town lanes rather than walking in the midday sun.
- Walk over to the Yaly tailor shop nearby and order a suit or dress early so it's ready before you leave.
