About

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.

I ended up extending 3 times. Not because of the comfy room or the nice facilities but the outstanding vibe of this hostel. All thanks to the hard working angel of the house Ernest. He has workshops, game nights, trivia night and makes sure that no one is left behind. He makes all your wishes come true. In Addition, cool roof top, perfect Location, very clean and safe! This is the perfect description of a “SOCIAL HOSTELS” (no party in the hostel, after the evening event they take you to clubs)

Unreal hostel for every reason. Ernest, the owner is always on hand for anything you need. He goes above and beyond any chance he can get. He himself is a backpacker so the whole hostel is adapted to what backpackers need and you can really tell. Super comfy big beds and the people you meet are like family. Super social but not party which is the perfect balance. I extended twice as I didn’t want to leave and everyone else I met did too. You have to go here. The reviews are this high for areason

The best hostel I've ever stayed in. Ernest and the team were so friendly, as were always organising events. They also can organise excursions (I went diving at the Cham Islands). The rooms are clean and well looked after with good storage, there's a pool on the top floor and the common room always has people hanging out. Great vibes.
