Đồng Hới (Quảng Bình) hotels & accommodations

Staff here are friendly & helpful. Room service was quick. Good breakfast & bar in foyer. Hotel clean & spacious. The beach across the road could be really good if someone cleaned it up. Dong Hoi doesn't seem like it's got a hub? Unbelievable how they have rebuilt the city after being totally destroyed by the war. Stayed here because of Phong Nha national park, which w...

The hotel room was great, but had a lot of wasted space (stayed in a king, but was mistakenly given a queen deluxe first, much better space and cheaper) staff on reception were friendly and spoke broken english, but the rest of the staff did not speak english at all. Buffet breakfast was adequate but not fantastic and the hotel is located no where near anything (althou...

This hotel is just opened in June, so the villa still under construction though, the hotel room is very nice. The price is very reasonable. The pool is big and have some kids playground next to the pool. Even they have shower booth on the corner of the pool. That is very convenient and family friendly. So that my daughter could enjoy the playground with me and my son c...

Sun Spa Resort was more than I expected. The location was near the center of the city and it was so convenient. The scenery here was fantastic. The private beach was so beautiful and blue water. The staff was super friendly and hospitable. We loved swimming pools which were so big next to the beach. Services were good. Food served at restaurant was delicious and diver...

The whole resort was amazing. Our Sea view bungalow was so clean and comfortable with lovely views. The pool area was great and had it to ourselves most of the day but the beach was something else. Stunning and once again all to ourselves. The only small criticism is not much to do in the evening in Dong Hoi itself as not on the tourist map yet and very little English ...

I stayed at this hotel for one night on transit backhome from Da Nang. Hotel gained my choice as i once stayed at Muong Thanh Ha Tinh hotel on the way to Danang. Muong Thanh hotel is one of the best local hotel brand amongst their class with affordable price, friend staff and good condition of room. You always feel worth at each dong you spend at this hotel. One minus ...

The room was very comfortable & clean with fantastic views over the river. A great place from which to do day tours to the awesome Phong Nha Caves. The breakfast is very Vietnamese & would be nice to have some cereal for Western tourists. But we would highly recommend this hotel in Dong Hoi

The Riverside Hotel, Dong Hoi is a relatively new hotel built in French Colonial Style, which seems a little out of place with its surroundings, but it is very clean, spacious and the staff extremely helpful and attentive. We only stayed one night in Dong Hoi and found the hotel central enough for us to walk most places for a look around this part of the city. The bea...

We stayed in four of the villas and they were beautiful. The rooms were new, huge with great bathroom. There are free wifi, a restaurant, bar, pool, and billiards table; a big lake with kayaks to keep you entertained. The restaurant has many food choices and they are delicious and reasonable . We did have lunches and dinners during the vacation here because its a bit f...

Great rooms, comfortable, good views of sea, river, and or city. very nice swinnimg pool on the roof 17th floor, also a nice lounge there with great views day and night, friendly staff in the lounge. Very good breakfast buffet with helpful staff. It's a new hotel, so expect some minor problems with information, etc. and it is far from other facilities such as restrau...

While more expensive than most of the places we stayed at in Vietnam, Victory Road Villas is worth every cent. We enjoyed dinner overlooking the river, great recommendations and support with logistics, and even Netflix for evening entertainment. The dinner menu is Western/Continental food. It would be great if Victory Road Villas offered some Vietnamese cuisine as well...

My solotrip was amazing with my stay in CKC Thien Duong Hotel. My room was river view and it was totally very nice. Just 1 thing for your consideration, there were only 2 choices for your breakfast (noddles or eggs & bread) but for it's not a big deal because I really enjoyed the new built room with nice view, good facilities and friendly & helpful staffs. Thank you ...

We booked 2 rooms for 4 ppl. The room is a little small but still comfortable for 2 ppl and with that price it is much better than our expectation. They provide almost everything for your needs: hair-dryer, electric fan though got AC, hangers, free shampoo and shower gel. Since we were going out a lot, this place is the best choice with super reasonable price.

Good location, opposite with Nhat Le Beach. Only one problem is check in time 14:00PM. Need to pay half day fee if you want to check in in the morning. Vị trí đẹp, đối diện biển Nhật Lệ, nhân viên thân thiện. Chỉ có một vấn đề về thời gian check in 14:00 và không nhiệt tình lắm trong việc hỗ trợ lấy phòng sớm, lấy sớm trả thêm phí nửa ngày. Ngoài ra sáng và tối có nhiề...

This is a wonderful, basic hotel in Dong Hoi. Spartan, but has everything you need for the price. If you need fancy artwork or a separate dining room, this isn't for you. But it suited me fine and judging by other comments many other people too. The front desk is helpful and, while they don't all speak good English, they will refer you to a person who does. The manag...

I have liked all the hotels/ Homestays in Vietnam but this fantastic. Attractive room on stilts all built out of wood. Good quality linen. Amazing food- best in Vietnam. A short cycle ride out of Phong Nha. Mrs Ai and her staff could not have been more helpful.

This place has all the good things about a hotel and all the good things about a home stay in one location. The woman and her husband who run this place are incredible. She cooked the most amazing and plentiful vegetarian dinner for us. So good. Breakfast was also awesome. On our second and last day, we had to leave really really early and the husband rushed out an...

I was very happy with the staff - a super friendly and helpful girl :) Sorry I forgot her name ~~ There are many good choices for your breakfast and they are all good ^^ But comparing with other hotels/ homestay in Phong Nha, this hotel price is a little bit higher because I am solotraveler, no share cost haha. If you want to fully have the river view room, please make...

From the moment I booked, I received a personal message from Lynh to confirm the booking and make sure everything will be fine when I arrive. I ended up showing up much later, and missed her when I arrived. She came to my room later to welcome me properly. I had booked a tour with a different company prior to coming here, but she still gave good information about my ...

This place is the perfect hotel to stay at in Dong Hoi. I stayed here twice while in Dong Hoi between trips to Phong Nha. I was so happy to come back the second time. After spending the night in the jungle and trekking for a couple of days I needed something comfortable and Gemani Hotel was exactly that. The bed is huge, the AC is strong, and the staff is amazing. The ...

This lovely homestay was one of the highlights of my trip to Dong Hoi! This homestay reflects well the character of its owner Sarah: a cheering, friendly and welcoming young lady, who works hard to make her guests happy. I was impressed by her friendliness, taking me to enjoy the beach and join her group of friends for an interesting talk. She has also made great impro...

I booked a stay for 2 nights at Nam Long Hotel in Dong Hoi. I really enjoyed my time there and was very impressed with the clean room given to me. The girls at the front desk were very nice and friendly. The hotel staff also provided me with bicycles to get around town free of charge. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay in Dong...

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and cleaned daily, water bottles appeared daily :) The reception staff were as helpful as possible, considering language difficulties - They found us a motorbike to rent for our trip to the caves. Our only complaint is the fridge that hummed, but didnt work :( Our first hotel this trip with an Elevator :)

We stayed at the sunshine hotel in order to see the caves in the national park. There's very little in Dong Hoi itself, and there is not really a centre to the town, it's just spread out along a few kilometers of main road. There is a pretty good beach a 20 minute walk from the hotel and there are a few vietnamese restaurants beside it. The owner is lovely and speaks...

nice beach, clean swimming pool, clean room. Generally, everything is clean but sometimes there are some butterflies. simple breakfast. This is on contruction, therefore, it is noisy - sometimes - around the swimming pool. The location is quite good for family relaxation. it is about 6kms far from the airport and the centre of Dong Hoi city (the distance written on ...

It’s my 2nd time in Dong Hoi so I decided to stay somewhere different to last time. This didn’t disappoint. The family who own the place are the nicest people I’ve met in Vietnam, always willing to help, friendly welcome and great service. The rooms are clean as are the bathrooms. There’s a great balcony overlooking a lovely quiet street. There’s free breakfast in the ...

Owners were lovely and really looked after us. Arrived at 5am andthey let us into our room early and theycame to our rescue when a bike we went I to town on went missing, I got a ride back on a scooter. Lovely, quiet location out of town along the river Son but a quick bike ride into town. Enjoyed playing volleyball with the family and patting the friendly cows that w...

The room was clean but the beds were really bad. You could feel all of the springs. Also, the shower and the toilet were in the same room so when you showered, water would get on the toilet and sink. There was a rude encounter with one of the staff members, but we also had good experiences with other staff members there. Honestly can't complain too much, it is very che...

The owners of the hoster are very friendly. They really make you feel comforteble and will help you with everything you ask them. The childeren of the owners do speak English. This is very unique cause so far I know no one in Dong Hoi could understand any English. It's a nice stay but the quality of the rooms is a little awfull. Everything is clean but it looks a bi...

I backpacked together with my wife for the whole of Vietnam and this hotel has to be the one that left the deepest memory for me. Our train reached dong hoi at about 5am and kind folks there allowed us to check in early in the wee hours without extra charges or complains. This was also during the Vietnam New Year period so they extended their celebration to us and of...

We had a pleasant stay at Dozy Hostel. The room was spacious, nice and clean. They have a balcony on each floor, which is great place to hang out and enjoy the shadow, when the sun's getting too much. The location is great, as it is not directly down to the more busy main road, but is located a few blocks back in a more cozy and "local" area. Last but not least, are th...

To be precise, the place doesn't really feel like a proper hotel, more like a large personal house that has more rooms that can fit customers. However, they charged hotel prices for room service, so I'll have to keep rating it as a proper hotel. Facilities are ok but nothing really to write home about. The rooms are nice and big, the beds comfortable and large, but the...

The staff was insisting on keeping my passport, when i refused and suggested he made a copy, he got rude. The young guy with a cheap sports car was so rude, i got uncomfortable and said I dont want to stay there anymore. He refunded me around 80% of the paid price, so thats a plus. Not recommended, unless u like to argue with some local macho-type during your travels....

luxe hotel was specifically chosen due to the hotel close proximity to nhật lệ beach. nhật lệ beach is a just 15 minuted walk away. rooms are clean and spacious. the room given had a great view – looking towards nhật lệ river emptying into the south china sea and facing the sunrise. the hotel staffs are very friendly and speak good english. conversing english with ...

We went Dong Hoi to travel to the Nha Phrang National Park and had a spare day which was spent mostly hanging around as we could find nothing in Dong Hoi of interest.

The Hotel was fantastic, very grand and a few minutes' taxi ride from the train station. We stayed in the hotel from 01/11/2019 to 03/11/2019. I was given a room on the 14th floor, our friends had an issue with their room which the staff were more than happy to accommodate a move. Netflix on the Smart TVs within the room was a nice touch (you will need your own login)....

Real reviews for hotels
LOVE the beach in Dong Hoi. We took the city bus from Phong Nha to Dong Hoi at 8am. Arrived at 9:30 or so.
It is not beautiful, but it is a good base for the caves and National Parks. It is also very friendly and easy to walk around.
Small place with restaurants and bars in very short supply. Most things have shut up by 9pm and the streets are deserted.
Small city, friendly Easy to find a hotel, rent a bike Food is delicious but hard to find an eating house at night.
Very sparse town. No real centre to it. Very little english spoken. Lack of restaurants. Good base to visit the caves and national park.
