Choose your Vietnam stay by the shape of the trip

A Vietnam hotel search can lead to a city break, a coastal stay or an island holiday. Choose that setting before comparing individual rooms. For a short visit from the Philippines, one destination can provide a full itinerary; for a longer journey, book accommodation for each part of the route.

Compare northern, southern and coastal bases

Hanoi hotels are a starting point for a northern city stay. Choose a base around the city outings you want to make, then use the Hanoi destination guide to narrow the neighbourhood. Treat other northern destinations as their own accommodation decisions when they form a separate part of the holiday.

Ho Chi Minh City accommodation suits a southern city visit. Plan the days around the part of the city you want to explore or the people you are visiting. The country's two major city bases serve different itineraries, so compare them as destination choices before comparing their hotel rooms.

Da Nang stays combine a city setting with a coastline that includes My Khe Beach. Decide whether beach time or city outings lead your visit, then compare the hotel's actual location. For an island-focused leg, Phu Quoc accommodation offers a separate choice rather than another Da Nang neighbourhood.

Settle the location before the room shortlist

A city hotel works for a trip with regular outings, while a stay chosen for its coastal setting may put more of the holiday at the property. Once you choose the destination, compare room layout, included services and guest reviews there. For a multi-stop itinerary, give each destination its own dates so that the accommodation follows the trip you actually want to take.
