We had a 2 night stay in Magnolia Homestay in Hoi An between 16-18 January, which was the last stop of our 6 week trip across East Asia where we stayed in c.20 hotels. I can easily say that Magnolia Homestay has been one of the highlights due to the extremely friendly and helpful family who run this 5-room homestay. Ngoc, the daughter, speaks very good English so had no issues with our requests or questions.
The homestay is c.20-25 min by walk to old town and c.7-10 min by bikes provided free of charge by the homestay. On arrival, we were welcomed with fresh fruits and comprehensive information about things to do in Hoi An and recommended restaurants. We had the room at the top floor, which was on par with 3/4 star hotels we stayed in - clean, spacious, good wifi reception, water & toiletries refreshed daily.
Breakfast is included where you get a free drink, an omelette/eggs or traditional soups and a plate of fruits.
The family was genuinely friendly and helpful. They invited us for a free dinner with other guests which we unfortunately had to decline due to our other reservations, gave small parting gifts on our departure followed by hugs, made fresh green tea with honey & ginger and lemon syrup one night for my wife's sore throat..
We enjoyed the stay and definitely recommend Magnolia, and a visit to Hoi An town which is simply beautiful..
