Travel Guide: Khách sạn Trường Long, Ninh Thuận

Vietnam’s lesser-known south-central coast, anchored by the sunny province of Ninh Thuận, draws travelers craving empty golden beaches, unspoiled Cham cultural heritage, and slow, laid-back days far from the crowds of Da Nang or Nha Trang. Tucked in the heart of Phan Rang–Tháp Chàm, the province’s bustling capital, Khách sạn Trường Long is a comfortable, no-fuss base for exploring everything this underrated region has to offer. Whether you’re a road-tripper cruising the coastal highway or a cultural traveler eager to dive into Cham history, this affordable, convenient hotel checks all the boxes for a relaxing Ninh Thuận getaway.

Hotel Overview

Khách sạn Trường Long is located at Nguyễn Tri Phương Lô 8 Khu K1, Phan Rang, placing you within walking distance of local markets, street food stalls, and the main bus terminal for easy day trips across the province. The hotel caters to both leisure and budget travelers with straightforward, practical amenities designed for comfort. All rooms come with air conditioning to beat Ninh Thuận’s famously warm, dry climate, and complimentary WiFi is available across the entire property, perfect for planning your daily adventures or sharing photos of the coast. If you’re traveling by car or motorbike, the hotel offers free, unreserved private parking on-site, with no need to book a spot in advance. For those flying into Phan Rang’s Cam Ranh International Airport, the hotel offers paid airport shuttle service to simplify your arrival and departure. Staff communicate in Vietnamese, so having a translation app handy can help with any special requests, but the team is consistently helpful and welcoming to international guests. A small sunlit terrace is also available for relaxing over morning coffee or watching the city come alive at the end of the day.

Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within easy reach of the hotel: First, Po Klong Garai Cham Temple Towers, just 5 kilometers from the city center, is a 13th-century UNESCO-recognized religious complex that showcases the ingenuity of the ancient Cham civilization. Set against a backdrop of low, grassy hills, the red brick towers are still used for annual Cham festivals, and the site offers sweeping views of the surrounding valley. Second, Ninh Chữ Beach, 10 minutes from the hotel by car, is a quiet stretch of pale golden sand lapped by clear turquoise waters. Unlike Vietnam’s more crowded tourist beaches, you’ll often have large sections of the shore to yourself, with local seafood shacks serving fresh grilled squid and coconut water for just a few dollars. Third, Vĩnh Hy Bay, a 45-minute drive north of Phan Rang, is a sheltered fjord-like cove ringed by rugged limestone cliffs and crystal-clear water. You can take a small boat tour to explore hidden coves, visit floating oyster farms, and hike to a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the bay.

Travel Tips

Ninh Thuận is dry and sunny most of the year, but the best time to visit is between December and April, when temperatures are milder and humidity is lower. Always carry sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water when exploring outdoor sites, as the sun can be intense year-round. The hotel’s central location makes it easy to rent a motorbike locally for around $5 a day, which is the most flexible way to explore scattered attractions around the province. If you don’t want to drive, local shared taxis and private tour operators can be arranged through the hotel for a reasonable fee. When dining nearby, don’t miss trying bánh canh hẹ Ninh Thuận, a local rice noodle soup with chives, and fresh grilled goat meat, a regional specialty sold at
