While there are a lot of mini-hotels in town, the standard isn’t particularly high – but then neither are the prices. Being local-style establishments, you’re unlikely to get a top sheet or duvet cover on your bed. At the time of research a flash, architecturally interesting hotel (rumoured to be five-star) was being constructed on the waterfront.
Right in the middle of the main drag, this mini-hotel offers good-value rooms and a lift. Opt for one of the corner ones, with expansive views of the river and coast. It also hires bikes (per day 80,000d) and motorbikes (per day 200,000d).
Set in the new part of town near the bridge, this large hotel is one of the better all-rounders. Cheaper rooms are small and windowless but are brimming with amenities. It’s worth paying extra for those with the river views and smarter bathrooms.
This smart mini-hotel is a good deal, offering a window and air-con in every room. The well-tended rooms include a TV and fridge, plus hot water, and the service is friendly.
OK, so it looked like it was in the middle of a building site when we visited, but once the riverfront park is finished, this place will have a prime location.
Like a guesthouse on steroids, this is one of the old timers by Ha Tien standards. A huge place, it has expanded into two connected wings. Rooms are well finished in wood and pricier options have nicely tiled bathrooms and river views.
In the new part of town, this hotel has 33 spacious rooms, complete with satellite TV and minibar, plus some with a large bathtub. Good value.
Not too long ago this was Ha Tien’s grandest hotel, as evidenced by its spacious rooms, wide corridors, marbled bathrooms (with tubs) and in-house restaurant.
Smart mini-hotel in the newer part of town with generously proportioned rooms.
A cheap guesthouse on the main street. Rooms are basic but good value, with air-con and hot water.
The name of this hotel, run by the military, translates as Bunker Hotel – not necessarily the ideal marketing ruse.
Friendly and family-run, this smart, six-level hotel was the newest kid on the block when we visited and hence in the best nick of them all.
