The owner of this property, his family and staff were super warm and caring. They went out of their way to ensure our needs were met. I loved them and eas so sad to leave. The location is great. A short bike ride away from the beach and old city Hoi An. We will definitely be back for anorher stay.

Good location, great staff
From start to finish it was an amazing stay. We were greeted by Dung, she was fantastic the whole time really friendly and helpful. The room was nice with everything you’d expect. The hotel was in the centre of Hoi An about 20-25 mins walk from old town and 30-35 mins cycling to the beach. They have free bikes and mopeds you can rent. All in all the best hotel so far in our trip. Thanks Dung.

Nice place but changes can be made
Room is very nice, clean and comfortable. The staff in the morning/afternoon were very helpful, the woman in particular. Breakfast was nice. Apart from these advantages the neighbourhood is noisy, the dog that lives in the hotel will keep you awake at night and wake you up in the morning with its awful bark. We weren't informed that the front door and gate would be locked around 11/12pm. Night duty worker speaks little English and spends most his time with his girlfriend or on the phone to his girlfriend.

A great stay with a great host! They were able to help me find a tailor that created amazing dresses and they even helped me arrange to ship it home. If you're going to pay for extras make sure you have cash as they don't really like to accept visa. Overall an amazing stay!

Quiet, clean, friendly
Exceptional service. Breakfast was fresh - had the omelet each day. Free bikes made in and out of centre and to the beach easy and fun. Transport from/to Danang was reasonably priced and smooth in late model SUVs. Given the room rate, sevice, and ambience this is a TOP-RATE hotel.

Exceptional value
The room we stayed in at Golden Bell Homestay was clean, spacious and offered all the home comforts you could want in a place to stay. The air con worked well, the bed was spacious and comfortable, there was a good safe and the mini bar was reasonably priced. Golden Bell homestay is located in a relatively quiet area of Hoi An and access is provided to free bikes if you want to peddle into town (10min) or cycle to the beach (20min). The walk into town is only 25min and we did this often, although I understand some people would consider this a long walk. The breakfast in the morning was nice with the offer of eggs and Pho Bo made on request. The staff are really nice and speak good English. In summary Golden Bell homestay was one of the best places we have stayed in a 3 month trip so far.

Lovely stay.
We stayed at the Golden Bell Homestay for 3 nights in April 2016 and really enjoyed our stay. The homestay is very clean and comfortable and we found the neighbourhood to be ideal as it was a nice and quiet place to relax at the end of the day, but close enough to cycle to Hoi An town or to the beach. The best feature is the staff who are all extremely friendly, helpful and professional. We would stay here again.

20 minutes to town
It's at least a twenty minute walk to town which is where you'll spend most if not all your time. There are guest houses that are much closer and cost the same amount with better complimentary breakfasts ( I found one That I'll stay in when I return called vanganh guest house).

Amazing guesthouse centrally located
Beautifully maintained guesthouse close to old town Hoi An. The rooms were well maintained and super clean, well decorated. We were given free access to the hotel's bicycles and used them to access all of Hoi An. The hotel also coordinated a taxi and all excursions at market value. It was a wonderful experience and I would stay here again!

A gem of a B&B
We absolutely loved The Golden Bell. The owners and staff were very kind, and we were loaned decent shopper bikes to get around Hoi An and to the beautiful local beaches. Both were around a 10-minute cycle ride away, so very easy to get to. The mini bar is priced very reasonably, so you don't have to worry about traipsing around with rapidly warming drinks, as they're in the fridge for a similar price. The breakfast was excellent, and their driver was also very good. We can't wait to go back!

Definitely recommend
Our flight time was changed but they stayrd up to let us into the hotel late. Free bicycles which is great. The homestay is a bit out of the centre but not far on a bike just make sure you have a good map to get back. Rooms were fab. We had out own balcony. Really good value for money.

Small home stay with nice staff.
Small home stay with nice staff (which I expect are the owners). The home stay is not far from the city centre and they are allowing you use of bikes for free. So first night took to the left and in 10 minutes I was in the old town. 2nd day took to the right and in 25 minutes I was at the beach still biking. The room was clean and equipped with everything you need. Breakfast not extravagance but again everything you need. Very good value for money.

Lovely hotel with really friendly staff. Felt very welcome and looked after during my stay. The hotel is in a perfect location for either the ancient city or the beach and with free bikes it is easy to get around. I would definitely recommend staying here.

保存区からは離れてますが、おすすめです
ホイアンの町からは少し離れており、徒歩ではいけません。天候がよければ無料のレンタサイクルがありますが、私はタクシー利用でした。 シャワーは温水を出しっぱなしにすると、お湯が出なくなるので、こまめにお湯を止めての使用をお勧めします。 この2点以外は文句なし。おすすめの宿です。朝ごはんもバランスよくおいしく頂きました。

安い、清潔、広い部屋
コンチネンタルの朝食付きで、コストパフォーマンスは良かったです。アメニティもあるし、スタッフも親切でいいホテルです。 ホイアン中心地とビーチのちょうど中間位置にあり、自転車を無料で貸してくれるのでどこへ行くにも便利でした。 近所に徒歩で行けるようなコンビニのような店はないので、何か必要なものがあったらホイアンからの帰りに買っておくと良いです。部屋に置いてあるお菓子や飲み物は町で売ってる金額と比べると高いです。 ホテルからメールで空港からのピックアップのお誘いが2回来ました。頼むと15ドルのようです。私は行きは時間があったので、タクシーと徒歩とローカルバスとバイクタクシーを使って行きました。安いけど時間がかかってめんどくさいです。帰りは(ホテルからダナン空港)仲良くなったスタッフのおかげで110.000VND(=約630円)でミニバスをチャーターしてもらいました。

Nettes homestay etwas außerhalb
Schönes homestay mit gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Zimmer sind sehr geräumig und modern eingerichtet. Frühstück ist überdurchschnittlich für den Preis. Die Angestellten sind mehr als freundlich und haben für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt gesorgt. Zwei negative Punkte sollte man jedoch beachten: 1. Das Hotel liegt außerhalb zwischen Altstadt und Strand. Dies ist zwar primär nicht schlimm, da das Hotel kostenlos Fahrräder zur Verfügung stellt, jedoch führt der Weg über die normalen, viel befahrenen Straßen und ist besonders in der Dunkelheit nicht ungefährlich. 2. Wer Erholung sucht und ausschlafen möchte, sollte sich lieber nach einer anderen Unterkunft umsehen. Das Haus ist sehr hellhörig und viele Zimmer (wie auch unseres) grenzen an einen Innenhof in dem gefrühstückt wird und ab 6 Uhr morgens der Hund der Chefin zu bellen beginnt...

Tolles Homestay, toller Service!
Hoi An ist einfach nur ein Traum! Ein ganz tolles Städtchen! Das Golden Bell ist eine super Adresse um alles kennenzulernen! Es gibt kostenlose Leihräder mit denen man ca. 10 Min. in die Stadt oder zum Strand braucht - das Golden Bell liegt direkt in der Mitte. Außerdem haben wir alle Touren direkt dort gebucht, z.B. Eine Biking Tour durchs Land (14km), einen Ausflug nach My Son (um 5h morgens) und ein privates Auto mit Fahrer um von Hoi An nach Hue zu kommen (60$) mit Zwischenstops in Marble Mountain etc. Alles richtig klasse! Haben auch direkt ne Nacht verlängert. Und Frühstück war auch toll wie schon alle geschrieben haben!

ホイアン中心部からは少し離れていますが自転車を無料で貸してくれるので逆に隅々まで周ることができました。 様々なツアーの申込みもできますし、可愛い犬もいて癒やされました。スタッフはいつも親切で夕食にまぜてもらったり、部屋もきれいで居心地がよく、2泊の予定がその後フエに行き、戻ってきてからもう1泊しました。
