5 Best Hotels in Mekong Delta, Vietnam

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 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.

This simple, rustic lodging offers the chance to experience Mekong island life, where guests can lounge on the overwater riverside deck, rent a bicycle or motorbike to explore An Binh islet, eat fresh fruit from the garden or a home-cooked set dinner (which earns high praise from guests), or do one of the tours and boat trips on offer. The simple, clean rooms constructed of bamboo boast air-conditioning and private bathrooms. The owner can arrange for pick up by boat or motorbike, whether you are coming from the direction of Ho Chi Minh City or Vinh Long.

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.

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.
