Simple restaurant with excellent food, friendly service and very reasonable prices.

The BoBo Cafes found in other Vietnamese cities have nothing to do with the orignal in Hoi An - they are owned and run by different people who have 'borrowed' (SE Asian-style) the name!

Also, for a decent and inexpensive Hoi An tailor's shop try 'Mr Xe' at the bottom of the same road.

Bo Bo Cafe: 18 Le Loi Street, Hoi An
Mr Xe: 71 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Hoi An

This is the kind of hotel that backpackers stumble upon in their dreams and I myself discovered almost entirely by accident.

For a very affordable price, you get the kind of accommodation many hardened Asia travellers have almost forgotten existed.

The all-but brand-new rooms are beautifully set out with carved ebony furniture and the bathroom alone is worth the charge.

That’s before you taste the food. Hoi An is not only Vietnam’s best-preserved old town but one of its culinary capitals too.

If you tire of the hotel restaurant, check out Tien’s just across the road for an even better choice of cheap but sumptuous Vietnamese fare.

Hoi An is a great place to get clothes made to measure. Choose something from the local designs on display, take along something you'd like copied or a photograph (shops usually keep a selection of Next catalogues and fashion magazines for inspiration!) and choose your fabric.

By the next day and for a few US dollars (I had a silk dress made for $12 and a suit for $20) you can get a whole new wardrobe made to measure, including shoes.

And if you overdo the shopping and run out of space in your bags, the local post office are experts in shipping parcels home.

There are over 100 tailors shops all around town - hotels and guesthouses can usually give recommendations.
