Local Attractions

Three unmissable nearby attractions make this location ideal:

• Hoi An Ancient Town: Just 10 minutes by bike from the hostel, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its colorful lantern-lit streets, well-preserved 16th-century merchant houses, Japanese Covered Bridge, and riverside street food stalls. Don’t miss the weekly full moon lantern festival, where the town turns off electric lights and glows with thousands of handmade silk lanterns.
• An Bang Beach: A 15-minute bike ride from the hostel, this soft golden-sand beach is one of central Vietnam’s most beloved coastal spots, with calm shallow waters perfect for swimming, and beach shacks serving fresh grilled seafood at budget-friendly prices.
• Cam Kim Island: A short 5-minute ferry ride from the ancient town, this quiet rural island is home to traditional coconut boat tours, organic vegetable farms, and artisan coconut candy workshops, offering a peaceful glimpse into local Vietnamese life away from the tourist crowds.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (June to August) to secure your preferred room type, especially if you’re traveling with family. Take advantage of the hostel’s on-site cooking class to learn how to make iconic Vietnamese dishes like pho and banh xeo to take home with you. If you plan to explore the area by bike, confirm the rental pricing in advance, as bike hire and guided cycling tours incur an extra fee. Finally, arrange your airport transfer through the front desk for a hassle-free arrival, as this is cheaper and more reliable than hailing a cab on arrival at Da Nang International Airport, which is roughly 45 minutes from the property.
