Of all the places that I have stayed, this was by far the best!

The villa was new and well designed. The room we stayed in was comfortable and cozy, and the location was good. But the best thing was perhaps the people there. Both the owner and the housekeeper were sweet and super helpful! I must show some respect here, for even though the whole town was experiencing severe difficulties due to COVID-19 and international travelling restraints, and they could keep very little staff, the place was spotless!

Needless to say, we were all happy during our stay there! We will definitely return next time we visit Hoi An!

Nice rooms, big comfortable bed, quite area, nice balcony. The hotel owner is very helpful and friendly. We will come back again.

My mom and me really enjoyed the stay there. When we arrived they gave us a welcome drink and answered us every question to hoi an. They gave us really helpful Tipps what to do, where to eat and that we can use their bicycles.The people who are working there are so friendly and attentive.
 The rooms are beautiful and really clean. Breakfast is included (fruits, egg, coffee, juice, muesli, noodles).

We have to mention that we had a problem with our flight and they helped us and called the airline and managed the details.

It would be our first choice to stay, when we would come back to hoi an.

We absolutely loved our stay here, every member of staff went out of their way to be helpful and make us feel welcome. The room was light airy clean and spacious and had a great en-suite. The breakfast offered so many options and a huge amount of food to set you up for the day! 15 minute walk into the bustling town centre. Would highly recommend staying here - blissful!

Wow what a beautiful boutique Zen is! We stayed 4 nights and truly loved it. The styling is the best we saw in Vietnam, the bedroom was so relaxing and the bed (mattress, pillows, duvet) made for a perfect nights sleep. Breakfast was a delicious and colourful feast which we looked forward to each day. Good WiFi connection and we used the free bicycles to cycle to the coconut baskets. Nice 20 minute walk into the old town area. Perfect location, you won’t regret staying here. Seemed like a family business and we were always greeted but them.

Beautiful hotel. Large rooms. Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help. Vy and Will made our stat so enjoyable. We decided to stay 2 more days. Close walk to Town centre. No elevator but staff brought luggage to room. Small hotel with only 3 floors. Breakfast was very good. Embraced the Pho for breakfast.

Room tip: Standard is fine but we got upgraded to slightly bigger

Amazing stay. Clean rooms with a beautiful zen-like design, nice bathrooms, and the breakfast was amazing. Service is impeccable, as we got a lot of recommendations on what to do in Hoi An! The location is a bit further from ancient town (15 min walk) but they provide free bikes for you! Overall very relaxing and perfect.

Liked · The best place in my whole trip. Delicious breakfast, friendly and helpful staffs, impressive style and decoration which is natural, simple and fresh, not busy in the breakfast as in the hotels or resorts. In my room, the bed is very comfortable and bathroom is nice and large with beautiful marble on the walls and wood on the ceiling. Another good things here is I was offered two glass bottles of water filled from reverse osmosis system for free per day, free bicycles. Pool is nice but I didn't use as I had not much time. It was so clean. This is the second time I stayed at Zen Villa, sure that I will come back. Someone would like to look for a small and quiet place for stay in Hoi An, it will be good choice for you.

We spent two nights (so sad, we wanted to stay more!) in this beautiful place!

Vy, Our host, was extremely professional, friendly and caring :) she took time to explain us all the activities and recommended places for dinner. She really made us feel at home, and helped us book different activities (such as cooking tour, which we recommend!). We could leave our luggages on our last day after the check out, and she organized transport to our next destination.
 Vy also saw from my passport that it was my birthday and left a very cute welcome surprise on our bed!
 Thank you so much Vy for making our stay so special!

On top of this, the house is very nice and quiet, just 5min by bike from the old town and 15to the beach. Everything is sparkling clean and the breakfast is very good too!
 We can only recommend :)

Liked · Zen was a great place to stay in Hoi An. Clean and nice design, the bed was comfortable and large. They fill up glass bottles with American stomach safe water everyday. The included breakfast is VERY good, they give you pancakes and a bunch of fruit to start, and then your choice of eggs/ omelette/ daily type of pho. They even had a vegetarian pho which was amazing. The staff was extremely helpful and even gave us a map of the city and explained the best things to do, as well as gave us brochures of several day trips. The location is a little bit out of old town but still not a far walk, only about 15 minutes. It’s quiet, although there were some roosters calling in the morning, but nothing bad. They also booked a ride to the airport for us. Special thanks to Will for all the help during our stay, we hope to come back someday!

Disliked · Location was a bit out of old town, although it isn’t a long walk at all!

This place feels like little paradise! It even looks better than on the pictures. With only a small amounts of rooms it holds a very personal atmosphere with warm and welcoming staff. The breakfast is the best I had,it includes always a selection of fresh fruits, natural juices, local fresh teas and coffee, you can also order fresh eggs, bacon, pancakes or local specialties, always freshly prepared. I can highly recommend to take one of the hotels bikes and have a ride through the nearby rice fields . Also the personal mediation class was a unique experience! The city center is walk-in distance!

Zen Boutique Villa is absolutely everything you want in a boutique hotel. Both the rooms and service are impeccable. The attention to detail from light switches, to bedding, from the swimming pool to breakfast go far beyond anything we expected. It is just outside from the craziness of the old town offering much needed peace and quiet. Do yourselves a favor, you’ll thank me!!

We love our stay in Zen, such a memorable holiday. Location is not far from center, 5 minutes walking but right near beautiful rice fields. It is quiet and fresh. The best things here is breakfast. So amazing! We had vegetable noodle soups and also eggs with very good homemade jam and yogurt. Staffs were very helpful and friendly. We sure will come back and recommend to our friends. Thank you very much Zen

We loved our stay here. It is on a pretty quiet street. The rooms are huge, with very comfortable beds. We found the staff to be very helpful, especially Will at the reception desk. The breakfast was very good, and varied a bit each day. The bikes are in good condition, which we used to go to the beach and ride around the rice fields.

We had a very nice moment at Zen boutique villa. The room was clean and very beautiful. The employes are so kind, especially Vy that help us to book a flight we were not able to book by ourself. I would surelly go back there and suggest you to stay there if you visite Hoi An.

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel. The breakfast is very good and the service excellent. It’s a walking distance to the night market and other attractions in the old town. I would highly recommend this hotel while in Hoi An.

We started here for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon tour of South East Asia. The staff were so welcoming and helpful during our stay. Our room was clean with a huge bed and had everything we needed. We had laundry done here also which was very reasonably priced and a quick service too. Breakfast was good, a bit samey but they did make a special vegetarian cau Lao for my husband which he really enjoyed. Location wise it’s a short walk to the old town of Hoi An but away from any noise. We didn’t really use the pool but our feet appreciated a quick dunk after a day sight seeing in the heat. We took the hotel bicycles to the beach one day, my only thing would be to say these could do with being better maintained. Would stay again if back in Hoi An.
