8.4from 310 ratings

A converted merchant house on the quiet edge of the old town, with pod-style dorm beds and a courtyard bar that empties out by 11pm — mostly. The free bikes get you to An Bàng beach in fifteen minutes. The dorms nearest the courtyard hear every round of card games, so ask for the upstairs rooms if you actually plan to sleep.

Why it earns the score
Pod bunks with real curtains and AC at a price that leaves money for tailoring.

Nine dollars, AC, pod curtains, two minutes to lanterns

Good: Real curtains and cold AC at nine dollars left my budget intact for a tailored suit, and the free bikes made An Bàng beach a fifteen-minute decision.
Bad: The courtyard card games run right up to the 11pm line and occasionally through it — the upstairs dorms are the only ones I'd rebook.
Verdict: Budget solos should book upstairs and spend the savings at the tailor; anyone needing silence by ten should take a homestay out in Cẩm Thanh.
