Great location to stay in hoi a walking distance to the main attractions and night market. Very convenient. Breakfast was very good ,really love it .we had an early flight and they prepared breakfast for us in a bag to go.The only cons I have would be the noise at night as the hotel is close to some night clubs. The music will kinda stop around 0030, we had a room on the front side that’s why we can hear the noise however if you are on the north side I believe it would be better, beside that it’s a nice hotel -will come back for sure but will ask for north side rooms ,

Room felt very humid and mold on walls. Bath towels were very worn and old. Would not recommend this place. It is price higher than others around town. Bed sheets had stains.

Will be next level once the hotel is finished

The room was great, the staff were very friendly the only real issue with the hotel was that it was still under development. This didn't detract from the level of service provided by the staff.

Short Stay

Location : Good and within walking distance to Ancient Town and Night Market. The room was quite dark. Old wardrobe and room fixing are not convenience position. The breakfast provide good choice of local and western foods. The mini swimming pool is too near the walkway and reception areas. It is too slippery dangerous.

Yes, a worthwhile place to stay in Hoi An

Golden River is centrally located, about 15 meters off the main road along the river.
There is a small indoor pool which looked inviting.
Golden River is clean and comfortable, with good wifi, but the highlight is the staff.
Warm and friendly ladies that smile and have a laugh all day.
My friend fell ill and they looked after him as if he was family.
Recommended.

Budget Hotel

Cods
Hotel room is old, our aircond was really warm, staff is friendly but wanted to hold our passport for a day, which we declined, we prepaid the room anyway, they can't explain why they needed to hold the passports, it seems it's a norm practice but some hotels can keep photocopies instead so please prepare photocopies in case. The bed was hard, so those who need softer bed you might want to reconsider.

Pros
Breakfast was made to order, their cau lao isnt bad to bo honest. Staff are friendly overall.

Summary
It's a budget hotel, so don't expect much. Hoi An is hot this time around, air conditioning is really important.

Very near to night market

As it is near the night market and just a corner from the busy road full with restaurants, pubs, spa centres, expect the noise level to be up till late hours and don't expect a river view as the rooms are not directly facing the river view.

Comfortable and excellent value for money.

Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is great, and although its furniture and fittings are a little old, they are well maintained and comfortable. The cost of a stay at this hotel is very low and is excellent value for money. Our tariff included breakfast; the food was good and served with a smile. The only thing missing is that that there are no tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms.

The hotel is in a good location

The hotel is about a 2 minute walk from Ancient Town, very close to the river which flows through Hoi An. A slight disadvantage is that you might be a little too close to the action at night, when all the tourists come out to either participate in floating candles down the river to make wishes, eat street food or go to open air beer gardens. The music is extremely loud and a combination of 90s pop and Vietnamese songs sung not very well, sometimes combined with beautiful Vietnamese traditional music. This generally starts at 6:00 pm and ends at 10:00pm. Otherwise the hotel room is very serviceable with a good bathroom and a nice balcony, the bed is comfortable and room service provides clean sheets and towels regularly. If you need anything, you just ask the ladies who clean the rooms and they easily provide whatever you need. The ladies at the front desk are very nice, very efficient and will book tours for you, call taxis, make phone calls and give advice with quite good English and French. Breakfast provided is excellent, you order from a menu, such things as eggs with Vietnamese French bread, muesli, fresh fruit, pancakes, noodle soup, coffee, tea, juice, etc. and the ladies in the kitchen are super helpful. The pool is nice and the air conditioning works. Your balconies either face the street or the back of the building. Across the street is bicycle and motorcycle rental with the sweetest Vietnamese family you will ever want to meet. Good BBQ restaurant corner.

Just right + warm Vietnamese hospitality :)

Just wonderful, it's a low key hotel with all the comforts. Hoi An its self is quite at night (after 12) but it's been one of my favourite places to visit and the location was spot on, 5mins to the night market, 10mins to the ancient village. Hotel organised me a sunset tour of the MySon temple ruins - a must see!

Nice week in Hoi An

Hoi An is very touristy but still fun and well worth visiting. The Golden River is well situated near the night market, Chinese bridge and the many bars and restaurants. Yet by being on the island across from the Chinese bridge and a couple of blocks down it is a little more quiet. Clean and comfortable with a good included breakfast and even a small indoor pool.

Beliggenheden, at hotellet ligger i en sidegade, ved en kæmpe Party Gade med højt musik til kl. 03.00, hvorefter larm fra oprydning, medførte at vi måtte flytte efter en nat, uden søvn, selvom vi havde betalt for 3 overnatninger - da værelserne på ingen måde er lydisoleret, den eneste grund til at hotellet for stjerner, er pga det venlige og hjælpsomme personale

We were disappointed by our stay but it think it’s because the hotel didn’t correspond to what we were looking for. It’s noisy inside and outside till late and not ideal with a young child. We had a suffocating room with no window and no pressure in the shower. It’s a nice youth hostel but not suited for families

Mutter und Tochter in Hoi An.

Das Hotel liegt nur wenige Geminuten von der tollen und beeindruckenden Altstadt Hoi Ans entfernt. Dafür gibt es einen absoluten Pluspunkt. Service an der Rezeption mit Tourbuchung und Tipps und Warnhinweisen gibt auch einen Pluspunkt. Minuspunkte gibt es für die Sauberkeit der Zimmer. Ich hatte das Gefühl in benutzen Bettlagen zu schlafen, auch nach der Bitte diese zu wechseln, wurde es nicht getan. Der Pool wurde auch nicht gereinigt, es lag auch am nächsten Tag ein komischer Schimmer darüber. Frühstück inbegriffen bedeutet hier, 1 Getränk und 1 Essen pro Person. Also wer gerne einen Kaffee und einen Saft und von einem Brötchen nicht satt wird, zahlt drauf. Das sollte dringend in der Beschreibung des Hotels geändert werden!! Alles in allem....Top Lage und Tourentipps! Rest stark ausbaufähig!

המחיר נמוך, המלון בהתאם

לטאות בכל מקום, השירות לוקה בחסר, ארוחת הבוקר מצומצמת מאוד.
המיקום מצויין, החדרים גדולים, אך אצלנו בחדר היה ריח של עובש ועובש, קצת רטיבות.
