Nem's House Hội An

Very central with friendly staff.

Very central location in old town with very friendly staff.

Room was nice & locations was great just a short walk to everywhere

Could do with a dust around the ceilings

The location of this homestay is excellent, as it's a bit more relaxed and less jam-packed, but still within 10 minutes of the heart of the super-packed/touristy Ancient Town area. The general price range / value for the area (other listings were significantly more expensive in Hoi An). The staff member who was in contact with me over WhatsApp was very prompt in her responses, even helping get me set up with a bicycle for rent less than 12 hours from when I wanted to have a 7am rental.

Unfortunately, every other homestay I've been at so far in Vietnam was a lot more clean – for example, there were visible, dusty cobwebs in every corner of the ceilings of the room, and upon entering my room I had to kill 5 mosquitos within the first 30 minutes. Every time I returned to the room I needed to kill more mosquitos. I realized they must be coming in through the hallway vent, so my suggestion is to turn on the bathroom vent while you're in the room - that way, it limits them getting inside while you are resting. The room is also a bit small and the location of some of the furnishing isn't the most ideal for what travelers would need for putting their suitcase etc, but I moved the side table around and was able to make it work. Overall, it's still a good value given the prices of other homestays in the area but I might have chosen to go with a slightly more expensive option for a slightly bigger / cleaner experience.
