“Pretty good, but a good walk from the Old Town. Good breakfast.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Located off the busy street but within walking distance of the Old Town,we enjoyed our stay at Ancient House.  We didn't make use of the hotel amenities (except for the free buffet breakfast), but there is a pool table in the common area, and two computers with Internet (and some how they've managed to get facebook on them which was awesome, seeing as Facebook is completely restricted in Vietnam.  The rooms were large, but not as welcoming as I assumed they would be.  There is a big old TV, large bathroom with tub and separate shower and two sinks.  There are mosquito nets around the beds and I would recommend that you use them (my dad didn't and he got eaten alive).  Breakfast was great: a Pho station, omelette station, fresh fruit, cereal, cold cuts, cheeses, yogurts, a few hot food items and best of all: fresh baked breads (lovely little croissants, and better yet, fresh baked baguettes that I crave!).  The hotel staff was okay: I arrived in Hoi An by motor bike and when I got there I was given a few bad looks and that kind of set the mood for the next few days of my stay.  Other than that I cant fault Ancient House.

“Ideal location.”

I can highly recommend this hotel. The staff were wonderful and hapy t help in any way. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I particularly liked the little flower and fruit gifts that were left each day in our room. We made good use of the free bicycles to ride the short distance to the beach and the old town. An easy walk to the restaurants and shops of Hoi An and if you don't feel like walking they provide a free shuttle bus as well. Good breakfasts. I would stay here again.

Room Tip: ASk for a garden view room near the pool.

“In need of some TLC, lovely staff!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

This hotel was basic and functional, the staff were helpful and assisted when asked, trying their best to help out.

Within the rooms, it was very damp, this is due to the climate in Hoi An, however there was a drip onto one of the beds that proved to ‘dampen’ the experience of staying here with a drop of water falling about every 20 minutes onto the pillow. Were this drip in any other place in the room I doubt we would have noticed however it did affect the quality of sleep.

Overview nothing majorly wrong, just a little rough around the edges, you get what you pay for!

“Pleasant stay at Ancient House”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This is a hotel that has managed to keep some of its character. The rooms we had were large and comfortable, good bathrooms and well appointed. They had laptops with free wifi for checking mail, and a slight feel otherwise of colonial chic..
Great pool and nice garden, friendly and good value Spa. Bar has snooker table and a nice place to watch the street and life going by. Restaurant open sided with fans, food was fine but better in town, which is only a ten minute drive and the hotel runs a shuttle bus.

Room Tip: Get one overlooking the pool as the oputside rooms look over adjoining properties
