Nalani Homestay & Hostel Hoi An

Small and cozy place. Amazing staff. Quite location.

Tout est parfait. C'est extrêmement propre, incroyable!!! Emplacement top!!! Homestay très calme. L'établissement est tenu par 3 femmes adorables, souriantes et très aidantes pour tout vos besoins. Réfrigérateur et cuisine a disposition A ne pas rater

Rien. Tout est parfait

The place is very intimate. Only solo travelers were there. Easy to connect to the staff and to the other guests. It’s not packed with people. Located in a quiet area. 10 min walk to the beach. The private room was spacious and clean. Lan the owner and Mai the volunteer were lovely.

Nalani is a little slice of paradise just a stone’s throw from the beautiful An Bang Beach. The people who run the place are brilliant, and the accommodation itself is just as good. The rooms are spotless and perfect, the pool is stunning, and the location is ideal for the beach (a 2-minute walk) and the town centre (10 minutes by motorbike). Highly recommended!

We had the best time here! The staff, the vibe, the location, the room, and the breakfast were just amazing. Would 100% recommend!

I absolutely loved my stay there : it's such a beautiful place and I met so many nice people, thank you 🌼

So clean and comfortable

Nothing

Man wurde freundlich behandelt. Hatte einige Schwierigkeiten bei der Anreise. Mein Gepäck blieb in Hong Kong zurück und kam am Abend komplett nass zu mir. Ich durfte spät abends in der Unterkunft meine Wäsche machen. Meine Kreditkarte funktionierte nicht und die Inhaberin hat angeboten, mir Geld auazuleihe. Toll war auch der Pool den man spät abends noch benutzen durfte.

Es war nicht ganz so nah am Strand wie erhofft aber dort gab es keine Alternativen ausser Hotels. Es ist aber zu Fuss gut zu erreichen, einfach nicht innerhalb von 5 Minuten.

We had the best stay here. It's small, simple but clean, comfortable and so friendly. We loved hanging out in the downstairs areas, following our creating curiosity, cooling off in the pool and chatting to Lan, Mai and the other guests.

Lovely small property with the best part being the hosts:) Also a great value!

Very nice staff :) And its truly a amazing property, with dorms with a balcony. Nice neighborhood, close to the beach. Free towl provided.

No free water refill.

La piscine et le petit déjeuner . La propreté des chambres. Le fait qu’il n’y ait que 4 lits dans le dortoir ça laisse beaucoup de place.

Rien.

The staff were amazing. They were genuinely interested in you & very personable. Wonderful breakfast! I’m an older solo female traveler & appreciated the property was comfortable for all age groups. Not a party hostel, but very social. I liked the residential neighborhood. It’s so close to the beach & a short walk restaurants if you prefer to stay close. I took grab rides to Old Town, but glad to return to a more calm atmosphere.

Lot of space in the room, very clean

Nalani Hostel was one of my favourite hostels during my Vietnam Trip. Very chill place with great people around. It’s a good location for people who need a break from the Oldtown and want to be closer to the beach (plus the lovely green fields around Hoi An). You can still rent a bicycle/scooter or a grab for small money to get into town in 10min. Short walk to Shops/Restaurants and great coffee shop around the corner. Would come again!

Nada :)

Ich war knapp drei Wochen im Nalani Hostel und habe die Zeit dort sehr geliebt. Ganz spontan konnte ich als Volunteer im Hostel mitarbeiten und mich sowohl im Hostelbetrieb als auch kreativ austoben, das hat die Erfahrung für mich noch besonderer gemacht. In dieser Zeit habe ich unglaublich viele tolle Menschen kennengelernt und mich von Anfang an willkommen gefühlt. Lan und Martin waren immer super nett, hilfsbereit und offen. Nach so langer Zeit hat sich das Hostel für mich wirklich wie ein Zuhause angefühlt. Ich bin sehr dankbar für diese besondere Erfahrung und werde die Zeit dort definitiv in schöner Erinnerung behalten. Wenn ich nochmal in Hoi An bin, komme ich nochmal vorbei! Danke! 💕✨

Perfect place if you a solo traveler

ארוחת בוקר, הצוות

בריכה קטנה

The best hostel I've stayed in while traveling. The owners are the most kind and I can't say enough positive things about staying here. I chose the location by the beach because old town is very noisy. The street they are located on makes you feel right at home. Lan and Martin are the best. I hope to stay again one day and maintain their friendship.

Nothing. It's not a party hostel.

Quiet area but walking distance to beach and restaurants. Very friendly owners and overall pleasant atmosphere

I stayed at Nalani Homestay for almost 3 weeks, and honestly… it felt like home. Everything here is done with care and intention. The place is very clean, the breakfast is delicious, and having free coffee, tea, and drinking water available all day is such a nice touch. The pool is perfect for relaxing, especially after a long day exploring. The location is ideal — quiet and peaceful, yet very close to everything: the Vegetable Village, Hoi An Old Town, and just a few minutes from the beach. There are also restaurants and small shops nearby, and the area is beautiful for walks, especially at sunset. You can even do SUP on the lake, which was a great experience. But what truly makes this place special is the people. The hosts are absolutely amazing — kind, warm, and genuinely supportive. They create such a good energy that naturally attracts beautiful people. During my stay, there were family dinners, themed parties, and real connections between guests. It’s not just accommodation, it’s a community. You have both dorms and private rooms, all at very good prices, making it accessible for any type of traveler. After spending 3 weeks here, I can confidently say this place is something special. 10/10, highly recommended — and I would come back anytime.

nice staff, family business which is very well looked after! the beach is just 5 min away!

it is near the beach but the city center is pretty far away, you’ll always beed a grab

The hostel is on a great location if looking for a beach stay. The facilities were nice, clean, and functional.

Staff seemed to be quite lost with things. First of all, there was no one at the reception when I arrived, the bed I had booked was missing the blanket and towel even though the receptionist told me ''they're supposed to be there''. She assured me the sheets were changed for me e.g. but the missing items made me wonder if it truly was.. Secondly the dorm rooms do not lock. Not even the female dorm's door which is kinda questionable. Also, there was another girl who checked in the same day and was told my bed was hers (all the other beds in the dorm were already occupied). That created a good amount of confusion and took a while for the staff to figure out what had happened - apparently the owner of the hostel had accidentally shown her a wrong (my) bed even tho it wasn't even the room type she had originally booked. Nothing major, but quite a few odd things happening all at once giving a very unorganized vibe.

Very relaxed hostel, great place to meet people.

Everything was very clean! The staff was very helpful! And perfect location to go the to beach and in to town.

Tolles Hostel. Alle freundlich. Top Standort. Wirklich empfehlenswert

- quick and easy Check in - very friendly, open and helpful hosts - Perfect Balance between privacy and socialising - they pay a lot attention to cleanliness - really close to the beach

Seeehr sauber, sehr freundliche Gastgeber und professionell! Leichte und ehrliche kommunikation! und sher schön alles! Es ist schöner als in Fotos! Man hat sich willkommen gefühlt! Nach einer großen Entäuschung (ich habe 250m entfernt initial eine andere Unterkunft gebucht, Wanderlust - diese sieht sehr gut in Fotos, ist aber nicht) konnte ich alles endlich genießen!

---

It's a rather calm (think of chilling outside and talking to some music rather than party hostel) but super social hostel, due to the layout of the common areas. This is my second time staying here, and it always feels like staying with an old friend or family member thanks to Lan and Martin's way of interacting with all their guests. On rainy days they share activities to do, in the evenings they are sharing their plans so guests are welcome to join in. One morning they felt like hummus and here we are, enjoying home made hummus. Facilities are super clean, and the private rooms are huge and have the biggest and best working desks I have had in all of Vietnam, so also perfect for digital nomads.

Wish I had more time in Vietnam to spend here

Nice place with pool and breakfast, close to a few nice local neighbourhoods with good bars and food.

Nothing to not like!

Bon emplacement pour aller à la plage ou du côté de la rivière. Nécessite d'être véhicule pour aller au centre-ville. Ils louent sinon des vélos ( lisez bien ce n'est pas offert comme d'autres hôtels aux alentours). Petit déjeuner avec un pancake à la banane très bon. Très grande chambre confortable avec une grande baie vitree qui donne sur la route. Petit balcon.

Les odeurs de ceux qui fumaient sur la terrasse. Le bruit de quelques avions.

Das ganze Hostel hat einen sehr angenehmen familiären Flair und man fühlt sich extrem gut aufgehoben☀️ Super Platz um einfach mal den Stress hinter sich zu lassen und zu entspannen. Am liebsten würde man einchecken und einfach nie wieder weg🌻

I liked everything. I spent over 2 weeks and considering returning. The staff were great and very helpful. I highly recommend Nalani to anyone

Das Team ist einfach der Wahnsinn. Man kommt an und hat sofort das Gefühl Zuhause zu sein. Ich bin nochmal eine Nacht länger geblieben weil ich mich durch die Gäste und die Atmosphäre so wohl gefühlt habe. Danke für alles!

I had the best time here. The social environment was top tier, staff was super helpful and friendly, room was affordable and comfortable, I was so sad to leave. I would stay again in a heartbeat

Fantastic, social and clean hostel. The staff are accommodating and helpful and all the other guest i encountered were respectful. The hostel has everything you could need during your stay, including a great breakfast. Martin (host) even arranged shuttle for me to get to Da Nang airport at 7am. Wish I extended my stay.

I got to sing karaoke for the first time at Lan's birthday party... 🙈

Pool is fantastic, bike rental is cheap and super handy, washing is cheap and super helpful, bathroom is clean, good water pressure, beds were comfy enough for a couple of blokes in their 20’s. Martin and is partner are super chill and respectful, gave us a bunch of amazing recommendations and their WhatsApp channel has a bunch of great resources for thinks to do and see while in Hoi An. Will definitely be coming back to stay here the next time im in town.

Nothing, our stay was fantastic

Very helpful staff, good clean room.

הצוות האווירה המיקום החדר הנקי והנעים הכל היה באמת מושלם

宿泊したドミトリーのベッドがバンクベッドではなく、セパレートのトイレとシャワーも清潔でとても過ごしやすかった

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben uns direkt wohl gefühlt. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und praktisch eingerichtet mit sehr gemütlichen Betten. Alles wirkt sehr neu und mit Liebe zum Detail. Unsere Badekleidung konnten wir auf dem Balkon trocknen, einer der Balkone hatte Blick auf den Pool. Der Pool war super sauber und rund um die Uhr geöffnet. Wir durften die Küche mitbenutzen, was total praktisch war. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Als wir spontan eine Schnorcheltour für den nächsten Tag buchen wollten und alles ausgebucht war, wurde für uns eine Lösung mit einem anderen Anbieter gefunden. Dafür waren wir super dankbar! Der Strand ist nur 5 Gehminuten entfernt, wunderschön und sehr ruhig. Rechts und links sieht man in weiterer Entfernung viele Sonnenschirme und viele Menschen. Getränke und eine Handvoll Sonnenliegen gibt's aber auch an dem Strandabschnitt nahe des Hostels. Die Menschen, die in dem Hostel arbeiten waren alle ausgesprochen hilfbereit und freundlich.

Excellent staff. I extended my stay by 2 nights. Quiet area but walkable to beach and can easily get a Grab into the old town. They even rang a doctor for me when I was sick. Would have stayed longer if I didn’t have to get a flight out of HCHC

Service & facilities

Matrass where a little bit hard

Nice, calm location, close to the beach and (for me an absolute plus) not in the center Really clean kitchen and common area Super social, although there weren't a lot of people The owner Lan is so helpful, welcoming and warm. I was arriving in the morning with a nightbus and could already check-in to catch some sleep The 4 people dorm had a bathroom in the room with separate toilet and shower area Enough space for backpacks in the room and really comfy beds

everything

I stayed at Nalani Hostel for 5 nights during my backpacking trip through Vietnam, and it was easily one of the best hostels I’ve experienced. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by cozy coffee places and great restaurants. From the moment you arrive, Lan (the owner) makes you feel right at home with her warm welcome. The room was spacious and had its own bathroom. Both the room and bathroom were exceptionally clean, just like the rest of the hostel. The beds were comfortable and offered a bit of privacy, which was perfect for relaxing after long days exploring. There’s also fast Wi-Fi, and you can grab snacks and drinks on an honor system—such a nice touch. Every morning there are multiple breakfast options, all of which were delicious. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help with anything, whether it was arranging trips to Monkey Mountain in Da Nang or booking a shuttle bus to Hue. I’d give Nalani a full 5 stars and I’m already planning to come back in a few weeks for a second stay. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Hoi An!

Everything is great! 11/10. Location is a short walk to the beach, coffee shops and restaurants or quick grab ride into the old city. Scooter and bicycle rentals available. Super clean and comfortable bed and very well designed facilities with pool. Delicious breakfasts and very good coffee. Hosts are 11/10 with friendly welcome and a home away from home vibe. Super chilled, relaxing and friendly oasis. Ideal refuge to recharge.

Absolutely nothing.

Amazing place, will be back!

Great stay at Nalani thanks to Martin and Lan. Awesome breakfast each morning, lunch is also available for purchase (great tuna sandwich) and Martin even made pizza for dinner during our stay. Location is great - few minutes walk to the beach, 10ish to cafes/restaurants and a 5min scooter/grab ride into old town. Loved the private room with balcony overlooking the pool. We extended our stay twice

Nothing to report

Incredible, social hostel, lovely private room! I also stayed at the other highly rated hostel around the corner and felt this one was so much better, and cheaper! Would 100% stay here again if I’m in the area again! Couldn’t recommend it more.

It was perfect

Fantastic location close to the beach, friendly and helpful staff Martin and Lan make breakfast and recommend activities and places to check out, great value for comfortable accommodations, pool is great for cooling down after a hot day at the beach, turned my 3-day stay into 2 weeks!

Beds are a bit hard, but I like a firmer mattress. Some bugs here and there but things were kept clean daily.

It is like visiting an old friend. Totally feel like home.

Nothing

The friendly cool atmosphere without the noisy party hostels and still be able to socialize. The pool is nice to jump in to relax whenever you want. I like as well the breakfast it is really done with love.

Really calm, cozy and clean place. The hostel owners, Lan and Martin, speak good English and German and were of great help for organizing all of our needs. E.g. my luggage got lost at the airport of Beijin and Lan helped me getting it right back into the hostel. Also they organized our motorbike trip to Hue which was so great. Besides that they offered a lot more good information for activities and vegetarian restaurants nearby and gave a good introduction to Vietnamese commons in general.

- Very nice and helpful hosts, helped me with organizing an easy rider for the Hai Van pass - Great breakfast included - Nice common area and pool area - Good location close to the beach (but beware that it’s ~1h walk/10 minute drive to Hoi An old town) - They let me check in early when I arrived around 7 am with the night bus :) - Every room (also dorms) has their own bathroom

- Stayed in the 4 bed female dorm and it smelled a bit musty - The curtains didn’t cover the beds completely - Other than that all great!

Friendly staff and travellers! Great location and a nice quiet place to chill and wind down when travelling.

Very much enjoyed our weeklong stay here. Staff was very attentive. Room was clean and the accomodations were bright and cheerful. Great access to An Bang beach. I also enjoyed being away from downtown Hoi An, but was close enough to easily access it when we wanted to Also great value for the money. I highly recommend Nalani Homestay

Great egg breakfast, and coffee. Cool hang out areas, loved my dorm (4 bed female with attached bathroom) my bathroom was great, water was hot and the toilet and shower were separated which was nice. AMAZING COFFEE SHOP ON THE BLOCK NEXT TO THIS PLACE (Sunny’s)!!

Honestly I liked everything. The location is about 10 min scooter drive from the center but I did that on purpose. With a scooter the distance was great.

Great manager, great availability of trips, snacks, bikes/motor. Best to visit when great weather as next to beach

N/A

Great hosts, loads of activities to book, easy to mingle with other travellers, easy to make requests, bathroom is clean and spacious
