Where to stay in Nha Trang

Nha Trang, the capital beach city of Vietnam, sees new and new hotels, resorts, guesthouses. The competitiveness is hard and thats really good for budget travellers

With about 10USD, you can stay in a nice guesthouse with beautiful room, A/C, Tivi, fridge, located in the center of city

Pay about 20USD, you see yourself in a 2-star hotel with nice design room, lift

With 40USD up, you will stay in a 3-star hotel with beautiful room, most with breakfast, some offer free gym and baby swimming pool...

Most guesthouses, 2 and 3-star hotels are located on Hung Vuong street and its alley; Tue Tinh street; Nguyen Thien Thuat street; Tran Quang Khai street. Among these streets, Hung Vuong and its alley as well as Tran Phu street are the best places to look for nice guesthouses and standard hotels.

Please note that in Nha Trang city, most 3-star hotels have swimming pool but they are just the baby ones for looking not really for swimming. Thats quite funny as the hotels built the pool on the top floor to get the called 3-star standard!

Tran Phu, the main street of the city running along Nha Trang beach has many standard hotels as well as 4 and 5-star hotels

Some 5-star resorts are strategically located on beautiful island or on the hill with private beaches such as Vinpearl Land resort and Mia resort

Nha Trang sees a lot of Vietnamese tourists in holidays. Room rate soars and most of the hotels are full. Its good to book room in advance if you come at those times

The research was done on 26th and 27th May 2012. Its the low season in Nha Trang. So expect to pay more in high season (especially for 3 and 4-star hotels which run businesss according to season)

Overview: Great location with private beach; beautiful design villas; artful decoration; swimming pool; friendly staff

Bonus or Minus?: good for relaxation but its quite far from Nha Trang city (25 minutes driving to Tran Phu street of Nha Trang city). Staying here means you are far away from the world but have to use most services of the resort. The private beach is not really good for swimming
