DK's Backpacker Hotel

“Nice Place Away From the Tourist Trap(s)”

It’s a classic older hotel with a lot of potential. I stayed for a week and asked for a quiet room with strong Wi‑Fi for work. I was shown several rooms and let pick one. If you can, ask to see the available rooms first because each one is slightly different in what it includes. Most rooms were comfortable and the Wi‑Fi met my needs. Hugo, the daytime desk clerk, was a gem and took great care of me, while Long, the night manager, kept the vibe upbeat with music during the nightly happy hour. Breakfasts were okay, and everything needed in Hoi An was a short walk away. As an older hotel, it needs a lot of work, and they were busy doing that during my stay – they were replacing the flooring in all rooms, which meant I had to move into three different rooms. The rooms and bathrooms aren’t as bright and fresh as the photos on Booking suggest. They’re aware that the old photo shows a mounted TV in a room (there are none) and that the pool water is stagnant and unusable. The pretentious will find plenty to complain about, but I’d stay here again anytime I return to Hoi An.

“Bueno”

The front desk staff were very friendly and attentive, always ready to help with any questions. They handed me a complimentary beer on arrival and the breakfast was excellent. The rooms were well lit and the air conditioning worked nicely. On the downside, the housekeeping staff were awful. The cleaning lady was rude and didn't knock before entering to leave items or clean. I had extended my stay by one night, but because she didn't speak English she didn't understand that I had added a night, and the front desk didn't inform her. Since I hadn't checked out yet, I left my belongings in the room and the cleaner wanted to call the police.

Convenient location and the staff were very kind and helpful, and considering the price I think it’s great. The equipment is a bit old, but when the air conditioner leaked water they dealt with it right away, which was impressive.

Everything was fine, and whenever you order breakfast they always bring you fruit. They advertised a pool, but when we arrived it was half empty, the water was stagnant and dirty, and we couldn’t use it.

“Great value for money and location”

Excellent value for money. The location is great and the free beer happy hours are fantastic. The room was spacious with open views outside. It wasn’t a huge issue, but housekeeping didn’t tidy my room during my 5‑night stay even though I had a sign on the door (maybe they missed it). Breakfast could use some improvement.
