Nha Trang has over 200 hotels to choose from, from basic to sumptuous, and new ones are sprouting up all the time. Unsurprisingly, the most expensive are on Tran Phu, the waterfront boulevard. Yet a cluster of a dozen brand new minihotels has recently spawned in a laneway on Tran Phu Street, all offering similar air-conditioned rooms for around US$ 15 . Most budget rooms offer hot water, private bathrooms, fridges and TVs, although air-con may be extra. In comparison, good-value midrange options are harder to find.
