Unlike many European and South American countries, Vietnam does not feature a central square where most tourist attractions and accommodations are clustered. Instead, these options are dispersed across various districts. For instance, in Hanoi, the Old Quarter is home to numerous historical accommodations, while the areas surrounding West Lake boast hotels and hostels offering stunning views of Hanoi's largest lake.
Expect to pay at least $8 for budget accommodations and upwards of $200 for luxury stays. Many hostels and hotels operate with specific check-in and check-out times, so it’s wise to verify these details beforehand to avoid any unexpected charges. Numerous establishments provide city tours or excursions to nearby attractions. However, it's advisable to shop around and seek recommendations from seasoned travelers to steer clear of potential scams. Luggage storage is typically available at most places.
For added security, be sure to lock your luggage when leaving it at the hostel. The details of accommodation addresses and contact information can be found on each city’s page.
