PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW TO CHECK THAT WE’RE THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU!

SnapStay Hoi An is your cosy, one-stop, home away from home in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hoi An Ancient Town. Located just 150m from the Old Town and right along one of Hoi An’s local food streets, we’re a social, laid-back hostel, co-working café and community hub for independent travellers, solo backpackers, flashpackers and groups of friends looking for good people, good conversations and an authentic Vietnamese experience.

We know solo travel can be life-changing, but it can also be lonely at times. That’s why we’re all about bringing people together and creating an environment where connections happen naturally. Whether you’re joining our Vietnamese language classes, Banh Mi Party, SnapStay Quiz, Board Games Night, Karaoke Night, Family Dinners or simply hanging out in our common spaces, there are plenty of ways to meet fellow travellers and make new friends.

Think social, not rowdy. We enjoy having fun together, but we’re not the place for partying until sunrise every night. Our guests tend to be independent travellers who enjoy meeting people, sharing experiences and having a few good drinks or laughs, while still appreciating a comfortable place to relax and get a good night’s sleep.

We also understand that not every traveller is looking for the same thing. If you’re feeling travel-weary, looking for a quiet retreat or simply not in the mood to meet and mingle, maybe give us a miss! ;P Socialising is a big part of the SnapStay experience, so if you’re keen to connect with fellow travellers, you’re much more likely to feel at home here.

Come for Hoi An.
Snap. Stay. Connect.
Leave with a few good stories and hopefully some new friends.

Could not recommend this hostel enough for any solo or group travellers. The accommodation was clean, spacious and peaceful and the staff were amazing, kind and welcoming and answered any questions about Hoi An. Ernest was the best host I have had in Vietnam and brought all the good vibes with him! The atmosphere is ideal for anyone who wants a chill hostel but still wants to socialise and meet some lovely people! Would definitely book with SnapStay again if I return to Hoi An!!

I just left Snapstay hoi an and i already miss it, its really an amazing place. Where you'll make friends the moment you step in the building. The owner Ernest and the rest of the staff is incredibly helpful, with amazing tips on what to eat in the neighbourhood and great inside knowledge about how to travel further after you leave. He clearly has a lot of passion for his hostel and bringing people together, everything is organised very well, super clean, comfy beds, good showers good air-conditioning, GRE
