Miss Ten Homestay

Forty metres from the bicycle lanes threading into Hoi An's Ancient Town buffer zone, Miss Ten Homestay on Nguyễn Phúc Tần keeps the tile-floor, garden-terrace character of a family-run An Hoi peninsula address. Upper floors are stairs-only, which keeps the building at neighbourhood scale.

Cooking classes and walking tours are arranged in-house — useful given that the surrounding streets hold some of the town's less-toured tailor workshops and lantern makers. The tour desk also sells public transit tickets for the 30-minute coastal run to Da Nang.

Family rooms, a shared kitchen, and a convenience store on site make longer stays practical. The airport shuttle removes the need to negotiate a taxi for the 30-kilometre transfer from Da Nang International.
