Harmony Homestay

We wish we spent a whole week here! The owners are very very sweet. We even had our wedding clothes made here during our stay, and she did a great job making sure we were happy with how they turned out. We really couldn’t ask for a better location. Everything is in walking distance, but just far enough away from bars that it wasn’t noisy at night. All the food we had at all the restaurants on this street was incredible. The room was very spacious and clean. They also brought us new towels and emptied our trash daily. The bed could have been a bit more comfortable, but we slept just fine. Also, this is not the fault of the Homestay at all, but their neighbors have a chicken that was pretty obnoxious… but it’s not in their control of course.

Location 10 star! Cleanliness 10 star! I'm relatively happy there. For 20 USD a night, it's a standard homestay. Love the daily cleaning and towel change. Love it's basically center old town. Love that it's steps away from the river. It's 10/10 for a tourist and budget friendly. Hot water is about 10 seconds wait only and it lasts FOREVER!!! it's not finished in 2 minutes like some others and the temperature felt like 90 degree Celsius even , you can cook yourself, which allows for a various of adjustment for your liking. This is rare. Some places have only warm water. Not hot. Easy to get cups and plates from owner if you buy fruits etc. hospitality is good. Can leave bags after check out also. I will be returning in the future if again visiting hoi an. Oh. That hot water kettle in the room is super. It's quality definitely. Not cheap aluminum. And also. All the fixtures inside the room, from sink to toilet to shower heads, everything is super quality and new. Not cheap crap. The facility is almost Hotel quality but in a humble delivery... You cannot find careless cheap crap in the room...? Here are a few drawback... 1. No trash can inside the room. Only bathroom 2. Queen bed with patio is definitely extremely noisy. My windows are closed 24/7 and still feel like I'm sleeping on the street 3. Patio is shared with another room, so they smoke there. Hence, my windows remained closed 24/7. I recommend other rooms without patio. They have so very nice windows with trees but without streets 4. It's really odd sometimes to go up and down the stairs with the old man staring at you by his TV who never speaks ? 5. Everything here is 30%-200% more expensive than next door or street rates. 6. If laundry is 30k per kg, it be 50k here. And outside laundry is delivered in very professional fashion, folded and packed like a dry cleaner in flat pack. But laundry here is not completely folded and packed neatly. It's just kind of thrown together in a big bag like trash. 7. Tailor prices here is 200% higher than other shops in the area. What would be 20 USD, it'd be 50 USD here. So basically, you live here and enjoy no special benefits but special costs instead. I believe that the shop owner should practice the opposite principles. She should charge street prices + 10-20% off if you live there instead of jacking up extraordinarily. The owner's daughter lives in Pennsylvania USA, so I understand she knows the western cost of living and wants to support her daughter by making good money. However, it goes both ways. If a simple H&M dress is 20 USD, no one would come to Vietnam to pay 50 USD for that simple plain overall dress. It should have been 10 USD just for a tailor tourist experience in a south Asia country. Basically there's no considerations for the people she's catering to. It's telling but seemingly understandable... Especially a traditional tailor set of vietnamese outfit for women are so much more complicated and it's only 20 USD... So. She's not being realistic at all...

The hotel was super well located and the owner was very nice and helpful. A little noisy at night because of some neighbours.

A fridge in the room would have made the visit more comfortable. The photos implied a balcony.

Good

Superb

Good location, and owner is super friendly. The room is nice and big. There is a loud rooster

Very nice and helpful host. Nice and clean room. Good neighborhood. Not far from market.

We booked for 1 night but we felt in love with Hoian and the home stay, so we decided to stay longer. Very kind people and the rooms are amazing!

Very appreciative of the early check in, super clean rooms and comfy beds. The host was very helpful and kind. Lots of great coffee shops, restaurants, spas etc nearby. We loved the proximity to The Lantern Lady! Would d we finitely stay here again

A clean, quiet and friendly homestay A little far from the centre

Above a tailor shop which we made use of after strong bargaining Very happy with the clothes they made and laundry they did. Liked the area, close to the market and away from the busiest tourist areas but not too far to interesting sights and the river. The lampshade making down an alley to the left of the hotel was brilliant. The most patient nice lady. The towels were useless and thin

The location is perfect close to the city center and restaurants and coffee shops. Very nice and helpful owners. I had some problem with shower which was eighter hot or cold. They might need a new mixer. There were some noise from the street but I was not disturbed. There are also rooms on the back side.

The noise from the street can be a little loud, so if you're sensitive to that, it's something to be aware of when booking.

Nice clean room, good localisation, very nice and helpful host.

Exceptional

Good facilities, full hot water, friendly host, great central location, easy to eat and drink, coffee, there is a tailor downstairs that makes very nice clothes. I will definitely come back

The hosts were very warm and welcoming. There is also a tailor shop downstairs (they’ve been in business for 30yrs). So you can easily get some clothes made very quickly. Shower was a bit cold, but not a big deal when the weather is warm

Location is good. Room is spacious. The old man opened our door without knocking. Very uncomfortable situation.

Lovely home stay with nice couple at the edge the old town of Hoi An- beautiful room with balcony facing a lively street ! They don’t do breakfast in house but there are great places nearby
