7 Best Hotels in Mekong Delta, Vietnam

With spacious, clean rooms, some English spoken, and a good central location, this five-story hotel, diagonally across the road from the Long Xuyen Hotel, has all the basics covered. Rooms have pine furniture, a writing desk, fridge, kettle, and even a bathtub in the bathroom. The location is great, close to the Co-Op supermarket and the Catholic church.

At this little setup 8 km (5 miles) from My Tho run by a lovely husband-and-wife team, Khoi and Oanh, you'll choose between simple wooden or solid bungalows, both with air-conditioning and an outdated en suite outdoor bathroom, but the big attraction here is the minihobby farm, which is home to chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese, dogs, and cats. Oanh supervises the kitchen, which turns out fabulous Vietnamese home cooking. It's very popular with Vietnamese families on weekends, when Khoi organizes a full itinerary of kids' activities, including tug-of-war, sack races, and fishing (the old-fashioned way, in the water with a bamboo basket).

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.

Opened in 2023, this hotel unleashes French flair, and the decorative details—large French windows and Parisian-style café on the ground floor—all make for a more memorable stay than a generic Vietnamese hotel.

Typical of the singular large hotel found in most provincial towns in Vietnam, this one boasts a prime location and generic city hotel rooms with little sitting areas and marble-tiled bathrooms, as well worn down facilities and a feeling that it is well past its glory days. Still, it's an easy pick and the receptionist try to be helpful. Outside of busy periods, you can confidently walk up without a booking and get a room.

Opened in 2022, this hotel has a touch more comfort than an average budget hotel, since rooms have practical details such as desk, mini-refrigerator, bathrooms with countertops, and as an added bonus, a decent-size swimming pool with a few loungers.

Two blocks back from the river, Visuha aims for a generic city hotel feel with large rooms in a neutral palette, in-built furnishings, comfortable beds, and modern bathrooms that include makeup mirrors and glass shower stalls.
