11 Best Hotels in Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Anh Nguyet has spacious carpeted rooms with air-conditioning, TV, refrigerator, writing desk, a small sitting area, not-too-hard beds, and slightly grimy bay windows; the staff speak some English. The bathrooms, most with tubs, are looking a little tired. Reception staff can help organize car with driver and boat hire and bus or air tickets.

Close to the market and the first guesthouse across the bridge from the ferry terminal, this basic hotel has large, neat rooms (thanks to a 2024 refresh) with not-too-hard beds and bathrooms with shower cubicles rather than the usual Vietnamese splash room. The riverview rooms have a small balcony and may be worth the upgrade to make the most out of your likely brief stay in Ha Tien. Very little English is spoken here, but staff will still try their best to extend classic Mekong Delta hospitality. Like most accommodation in Ha Tien, the rate is slightly higher on weekends.

The central location and attractive price are the main reasons to choose this hotel, which occupies two wings in a complex that also includes a wedding reception venue, a karaoke bar, and an interesting little outdoor café that specializes in pizza. The rooms are basic, but spacious and clean. However, the lack of English can make a stay here a challenge, especially if you run into one of the more unhelpful staff members.

Small and serviceable, with heavy wooden furniture, Vietnamese-style bathrooms, and a central location, this is nevertheless a generic hotel often used by Vietnamese businessmen (who tend to smoke a lot); do ask to see (and smell) a room before you check in.

The accommodation is basic and the garden is wildly decorated, but at Happy Family, the river views from the hammock are second to none, the staff are welcoming and cheerful, and languid days can be filled boating or cycling around this peaceful spot.

In a central location, this hotel has clean, simple, and functional rooms that are actually pretty comfortable, with Vietnamese-style splash bathrooms. The furniture is solid-looking wood and the air-conditioning works well, which is all you can really ask for at this price. The hotel is behind the Co-Op Mart supermarket and the only two fast-food outlets in town, and a block from the Catholic church.

This family-run contender is fighting above its price range with large, clean, well-appointed rooms, comfortable beds, bathrooms with solar-heated water, and friendly, helpful staff. A pool table, dart board, and honor-system bar adds to the appeal. Ms. Thanh Can and her staff are also happy to help organize tours and tickets for onward travel.

The big selling point of this generic Vietnamese hotel is the large rooms, which has the mod-cons you'd expect, including air-conditioning, a flat-screen TV, kettle, mini-refrigerator, a writing desk, and somewhat oddly laid-out bathrooms. In addition to the pool, there's a café, a karaoke floor, and a wedding reception venue.

Although 750 meters outside the center, this English-speaking family-run guesthouse is the most traveler-friendly option in Ha Tien since they rent bicycles and motorbikes (including automatics), they can arrange Phu Quoc ferry tickets and bus tickets to Cambodia, and the clean, bright, modern rooms have a few warm decorative touches to make for a comfortable stay.

A basic but immaculate family-owned hotel right in the center of Sa Dec, this is an inexpensive place to stay for a night. The proprietor speaks enough English to help you plan onward travel. Rooms are large and, for the price, well-appointed, though some will find the beds a bit firm. There's Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Although breakfast is not included in the room rate, there are plenty of food options nearby.

Most of the suitable hotels in Soc Trang lie outside its center, so it's worth considering Thien An, located in the outskirts of town, for its large swimming pool (complete with dolphin fountains) and clean modern rooms; the pricier pool view rooms have nicer finishings and glass door windows, allowing for lots of natural light.
