Travel Guide: Stay House, Can Tho (Vinh Long Region)

Introduction

Nestled in the heart of Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho—the bustling capital of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta—Stay House offers travelers a quiet, comfortable home base for exploring the winding waterways, floating markets, and lush countryside of the Vinh Long and wider Mekong region. Far from the chaotic crowds of central Can Tho’s tourist strip but within easy reach of all the area’s top attractions, this cozy, pet-friendly boutique accommodation balances affordability, convenience, and warm Vietnamese hospitality, making it ideal for solo backpackers, family travelers, and even visitors bringing their four-legged companions along for the adventure.

Hotel Overview

All rooms are fitted with air conditioning, crisp linens, a closet, bedside charging outlets, and a flat-screen TV with satellite and cable channels.

The front desk speaks both English and Vietnamese, making check-in and local recommendations seamless for international travelers.

Local Attractions

No trip to this region is complete without a visit to Cái Răng Floating Market, just a 15-minute drive from Stay House. This is the Mekong Delta’s most iconic floating market, where vendors sell everything from fresh tropical fruit to hot noodle soup from wooden boat decks, and visitors can hire a small rowboat to weave between colorful merchant vessels and sample local street food right on the water.

For a slower pace, head 30 minutes north to Vinh Long Ancient Town, a charming riverside settlement dotted with 19th-century Sino-Vietnamese shophouses, peaceful Buddhist pagodas, and quiet back canals perfect for kayaking. The town is also famous for its handmade coconut candy workshops, where you can watch traditional production and sample sweet, fresh treats straight from the kitchen.

Closer to the hotel, Ninh Kieu Waterfront Park is a 10-minute drive away, a scenic public promenade along the Hau River ideal for sunset walks, street food snacking, and watching local fishermen cast their nets at dawn.

Travel Tips

Book your room directly through the hotel’s official channels to lock in the best rates, especially during peak dry season (November to April), when Mekong Delta tourism is at its busiest. If you plan to explore floating markets early in the morning, confirm your wake-up call at check-in to avoid missing the best of the market activity before midday.

Since Stay House is pet-friendly, it’s perfect for travelers bringing dogs or cats on their Vietnam trip—just note that you’ll need to keep pets leashed in common areas out of respect for other guests. If you don’t have a car, the front desk can help book affordable Grab rides or organize a private Mekong Delta tour that picks you up directly from the hotel entrance. For day trips to Vinh Long, arrange a round-trip car service through the hotel for a hassle-free experience, rather than hagg
