Most guesthouses and hotels in Hoi An are within easy walking distance of the central historic quarter but relatively few are within its immediate confines, and these ones are very overpriced. While central Hoi An is home to some tasteful options for midrange tourists, backpackers seeking to pay US$7-10 will need to bunk down a good 10-minute walk from the river. The town already sees too many package tours and prices reflect this -- in low season you may be able to bargain your lodgings down a little, but in high season, you'll struggle.
