Hoi An Chic Green Retreat

Hoi An Chic, which now calls itself Hoi An Chic Green Retreat, is a small hotel on Nguyen Trai Street in Hoi An Dong, surrounded by green rice fields. It sits between the Ancient Town and the beaches, which suits travellers who want a quieter, rural setting without giving up easy access to either.

The rooms are designed for couples, friends and families, with five categories: Garden View Double, Garden View Twin, Countryside Double, Countryside Grand Double and a Family Room. The countryside rooms face the fields, and the family room is a practical option for parents travelling with children, while the garden-view rooms look over the hotel's own planting.

The rooftop swimming pool is a highlight, set above the surrounding fields, and the hotel's restaurant and cafe sit beside the rice fields, so breakfast and lunch come with a rural outlook. For more choice in the evening, the hotel notes that bars and restaurants are a short walk away on Cua Dai Road.

Getting around is straightforward. The hotel offers complimentary bicycles and a complimentary shuttle service, which together cover trips into the old town and out to the coast. By the hotel's own figures it is about 3 km from the local produce market, 2.5 km from Cua Dai Beach and the beach it calls Hidden Beach, and 3.5 km from An Bang Beach. Those distances make the beaches an easy cycle ride, and the produce market is close enough for a morning visit.

This is a good-value base for travellers who prefer a peaceful setting and are happy to cycle or take the shuttle into town. It works well for couples and families on a moderate budget, and for anyone planning to split their time between the heritage sites and the beaches.

Reservations can be made directly through the hotel's dedicated reservation line or by email, both published on its website. If you plan to rely on the shuttle, ask about its schedule when you book so you can plan evenings in the old town around it. The main hotel line, +84 235 3926 799, handles general enquiries.
