Countryside Garden Homestay

Tolles zimmer mit Balkon, da ließ es sich auch bei Regen aushalten.meine Wäsche wurde gewaschen. Ein kleines Wahlfrühstück und obst gabs. Und Fahrräder.

Der Regen!

le rapport qualité prix était plutôt bon , l'emplacement en dehors de la ville, mais la chambre donnait sur la route donc un peu bruyante avec les voitures qui passait.

Nous avions réservé 2 nuits sur Booking mais quelques heures plus tard nous avons averti le site et le propriétaire que finalement nous restions qu'une seule nuit . Arrivé sur place le propriétaire nous a fait régler 50% de la 2 ème nuit ce que nous n'avons pas trouvé très commercial . L'accueil était très indifférent de sa part , pas de sourire ni de bonjour le lendemain et obligé d'aller le chercher pour avoir le petit déjeuner.

This is a wonderful place to stay while in Hoi An. The setting is quiet yet close to the busy part of Hoi An. We used bicycles so it was easy for us to ride over the bridge to Old Town and also explore the Hoi An area. The owners are friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was a nice choice of eggs, pancakes, coffee and tea. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had a small refrigerator. We enjoyed the balcony overlooking the koi pond and flower garden. I recommend staying here if you prefer quietness but want to be close to the sites.

Everything was great.

My room was spacious, with high ceilings. There was a large double-bed (firm but very comfortable), a fridge (around twice the volume of the usual mini-bar size), a bedside cabinet, and a kind of half-sized wardrobe. The air-con worked perfectly and noiselessly. There was also a modern flat screen TV, though I didn’t use it. The en-suite was also very roomy. Water pressure was very high and there was hot water if you wanted it. I also had a pleasant balcony overlooking the koi carp fish pond, which, with its babbling waterfall, made for a very pleasant atmosphere. Everything was very clean and the room was cleaned regularly and supplied with fresh towels and linen. \ The included breakfast was basic but adequate, though drinks were extra. The dining area, next to the fish pond, was peaceful. I made good use of the free bicycles. They are a bit old and cranky but quite adequate for cycling to and around Hoi An or visiting the beach. (Do, though, check the brakes before setting off!) The owner is a lovely man, very friendly and helpful. His daughter does a lot of the domestic work and she too is very pleasant to deal with. How you rate the location is a highly subjective matter. For me, it was very good. There’s little traffic or noise (though, dawn is greeted by nearby cockerels). It’s about a ten minute gently (and pleasant) cycle ride into the Old Town. (I often left my bike parked outside Winmart on the Cam Nam side of the bridge, and then continued on foot.) Alternatively, just a minute or so from the Homestay is a big, new bridge (surprisingly quiet) that offers a kind of backway into the Old Town or, going in the other direction a twenty minute ride to the beach. That said, Cam Nam itself offers some gentle and relaxing cycling and walking with hidden nooks and crannies to explore. In summary, clean, comfortable accommodation that, while basic, offers exceptional value for money. Highly recommended.

Although the room description said it had a kettle, it didn’t. I asked the owner’s daughter about having one but the best she could offer was for me to get boiling water from downstairs. (Given how cheap kettles are and how much they can improve the quality of a stay, I find their absence mystifying and a false economy. Also, shortly before the end of my visit, another member of the owner’s family complained to me about the noise I was making! I should mention, I am, by nature a quiet, considerate person. She occupied the room beneath mine and was being disturbed by the sound of my moving furniture: basically, pulling up / adjusting my chair when sitting at the desk. The chairs were without felt-type pads on their feet and the floor is of a hard marble-type.. Any movement resulted in a screeching sound. For me, this was a problem with the furniture, not me! It made me uncomfortable and self-conscious whenever sitting at the desk. I solved the problem by standing the chair on a towel.
