ChiPa Homestay

Loved almost everything. The room was spacious and well furnished. the area was local, and the community was great. It's located close to the airport, but you don't hear the planes. Laundry facilities are great, easy and cheap. Great big kitchen close to restaurants and one of the best sushi places ever. Communcation was effortless and all enquiries were handled immediately using WhatsApp.

There was a communal kitchen, but the stove was damaged, and it was not possible to cook in house, not that we needed it, but if you rely on cooking your own meals this will be an issue.

Great value for money. Clean small room ideal for a short over night stay. Good communication via WhatsApp but no one to greet on check in desk. Convenient for the city and the airport

Unsure about security - no one on front desk and open front door - but maybe that is OK in Vietnam.

Easy check-in and check-out. Location is more local and not too close to the beach but you can take grab. Also it's walking distance from the airport which is a plus for some people. Upon arrival we were surprised at how accurate the photos of the room were, which is sometimes not the case on Booking. Spacious room with a lot of windows and a comfortable bed. Being sensitive to smells, I was relieved to finally have a room with zero damp smell in Vietnam! Everything was very clean and the whole homestay is aired out. I personally loved the bathroom and the shower a lot, it was very spacious, there was enough hot water and the water pressure was strong. Self-service laundry for a very cheap price. People complain about the sounds from the temple nearby but for us it was nice - it didn't go on for long in the evening and actually it was pretty soothing and relaxing to listen to. Great place to stay!

During the last night we heard people packing and leaving the homestay I guess, being really noisy from 12 to 3am, banging their luggage, running down the stairs, yelling, etc. It's not the fault of the homestay but if stricter rules were inforced for guests to be quiet at night, I feel like then it would be a perfect homestay.

Super cute, cozy & well-lit room. The bed was spacious and the furniture/interior felt welcoming so I was very happy with my room. I slept very well and had a very satisfactory stay. I paid by card, so I had to contact the property and arrange a time to have someone come to process my card payment, but it all went very smoothly. They also have laundry machines and provide detergent (which you pay for, but it was cheap) for those who want to use them. Filtered water is also free, as long as you have your own water bottles.

A couple points that might bother some people (but I was okay with): - There were little bagworms on the walls of my room. I personally didn't mind since they don't really move and they're harmless, and they're basically everywhere in the area due to the humidity. - It was difficult to sleep in because 1) my curtains were a bit see-through, and while the window was high up so people can't see inside, it's not possible to block out the morning sun and 2) the location is across the street from a temple so it gets a bit noisy in the morning. - The hot water stopped coming out after about 10 minutes, which was enough for me but maybe not for some people who want to take longer showers. - There is no elevator, and I was on the top floor (the 4th floor) so I wouldn't say it's accessible.
