Cute hostel, lovely staff, great free breakfast. But the location was not it.. be better then me and do your research on where the nice beaches are. If your stay here, you still have to get a grab or walk at least 25min to the nice part of the beach. About a 10min drive to Oldtown. (Or a 1h walk)

Dao is one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met, she gave me such good advice and really made my Hoi An stop. Location by the river is beautiful, easy to get a Grab into Old Town.

We want to thank the family for their lovely hospitality. They were never anything but warm and kind. The facilities were definitely simple but very clean, and there were no complaints with the location. Thanks for having us! We would stay again :)

Das Frühstück war immer super und die Menschen sind richtig lieb! Aber die Sauberkeit in den Badezimmern war nicht die beste und ich fande es nicht schön, dass eine Schildkröte in einer großen Vase ohne Tageslicht vor dem Hostel gehalten wird. Die Eigentümerin hatte dafür kein Verständnis.

Translated to English

The breakfast was always great and the people are really nice! but the cleanliness in the bathrooms was not the best and I don't think it's nice that a turtle is kept in a big vase without daylight in front of the hostel. the owner had no understanding of this.

Dieses Hostel war wirklich süß und entspannt. Dao hat uns ( sind zu zweit angereist) so warm begrüßt und uns geholfen und viele Empfehlungen für Aktivitäten oder sonstiges gegeben. Wenn man was ruhiges sucht, ist dieses Hostel keine schlechte Wahl! Ich persönlich empfand es als garnicht schlimm nicht so viele Kontakte zu Mitreisenden zu knüpfen. Auch wurde uns Frühstück serviert. Es war nicht viel aber vollkommen ausreichend! Hab mich bisschen wie zuhause gefühlt. Danke für die coo...

Translated to English

This hostel was really sweet and relaxed. Dao welcomed us (we were both angry) so warmly and helped us and gave us many recommendations for activities or other. If you were looking for activities or other, this hostel is not a bad choice! Ich personally felt it as garnicht schlecht not to make so many contacts with fellow travelers. Also breakfast was served to us. It was not much but completely sufficient!

It was close to the beach which was very nice, a little further from old town but doable through grab When we arrived early in the morning we were able to do an early check in and they offered us breakfast, however after checking out we realized that it wasn’t included in the price of the stay. Even though it wasn’t much it would have been nice to know beforehand.

Really nice property with a very scenic view from the balcony. The room was super clean and spacious, it was on the very quite side of the town, with a views of the river. The sunset from the room is ethereal. After biking through the Vietnam we wanted a chilled & relaxed place and it met the right checks. The host is lovely and she shared lot of local recommendations. Though I felt with what we paid the facilities or options could have been a little better if we compare with neighboring stays.

We stayed here for 3 nights after being in Hoi An to enjoy the beach and have some r&r after the busy old town! An Bang beach was good and there were many restaurants surrounding. The room was lovely, as was the breakfast and the owner was so kind and accommodating. Definitely worth every penny spent. Would recommend this home stay to anyone! Even though we were out of Hoi A busy part, it’s so accessible to get there and cheap too.

Stayed in the dorm. Rooms were big and well airconditioned. Bathroom could use a bit of care. Breakfast was amazing! You get an egg dish + banana pancakes + fresh fruit and beverage, sometimes even a yoghurt. The host speaks english and was very helpful with any inquiries. They organize activities like cooking or bus transfer.

Ons verblijf hier was geweldig! Het personeel is onwijs vriendelijk, heerlijk ontbijt en hadden een kamer met prachrig uitzicht op de rivier. De locatie zit wat verder uit het centrum, wat het juist heel rusitg maakt. Het strand en leuke restaurantjes zitten op loopafstand.

We loved staying here. The owner Dao is the sweetest, most helpful lady. She gave us all the good tips and ticks for Hoi An. We were also right next to the beach, just 5 minutes walking. Our room had the balcony overlooking the river which meant we saw some really beautiful sunsets. We ended up extending our stay.

We absolutely loved our stay here. We booked 3 nights but ended up staying 10. Dao and her family are really nice and helpful, they make it feel like home. Besides that the rooms are very clean and the breakfast is amazing. The location is very peaceful since it’s next to the river and close to the beach. There is also a fishing tour that they offer, which is a cool experience. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for everything, hope to see you again! :)

Wir haben die letzten drei Tage im Coral Riverside verbracht und waren einfach nur begeistert. Die Lage ist sehr gut, man ist sehr nah am Strand und nicht zu weit weg von der Stadt. Das Hostel ist super ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Hostelbesitzerin Dao.

This was such a lovely hostel !!! I cannot say enough nice things about the host, she was truly so kind and attentive. The breakfast was delicious as well. The location is not near the center buts it such a lovely, peaceful area. It’s in a less touristy area as well so it feels like a more authentic experience. It was also a quick walk to the beach as well! Truly a great experience i definitely recommend staying here!
