The Property — Hòa Bình 2
Hòa Bình 2 is a no-frills three-star in central Long Xuyên, directly opposite the main market. The lobby feels functional and clean, with tiled floors, a few plastic sofas and a reception desk that moves quickly. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a solid base near the river and market action rather than any design flourishes.
Chronicles of Long Xuyen
Long Xuyên began as a small Khmer settlement on the Hậu River and grew into a commercial hub under French colonial rule. The city’s architecture mixes low-rise shophouses, a few French-era villas and utilitarian concrete blocks. It remains the capital of An Giang Province and a gateway to the Mekong Delta's floating markets and rice plains. Today its identity is strongly tied to the river trade, Buddhism and the nearby Châu Đốc pilgrimage centres.
Best Time to Visit
Full Long Xuyen guide →Best months
December and January: dry season, cooler temperatures (24-32°C), low rainfall, no major floods. February is also good, with little rain and the Tết atmosphere.
Peak / festival surge
January (Tết Nguyên Đán): hotels fill with local families and returning overseas Vietnamese, prices double and markets get chaotic. The Lunar New Year celebrations drive peak demand.
Budget shoulder season
March and November: still relatively dry (March) or recovering from rainy season (November), hotel prices drop 30-50%, fewer visitors, decent weather for river trips.
Weather & packing
July sits in the wet season — expect heavy downpours most afternoons and humidity near 85%. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and waterproof sandals, not bulky boots.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hòa Bình 2, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the middle floors (3rd or 4th) facing away from the street. This balances lift accessibility with minimal street noise, as the hotel doesn't have a lift and upper floors involve stairs.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (reception/lobby noise) and any rooms directly above the main entrance where late-night scooter traffic and conversations carry. Also skip top-floor rooms (5th or 6th) due to heat, noise from the roof, and stairs.
Best views
Side view overlooking the neighbourhood (likely rice fields or small streets) rather than main road — better than staring at passing trucks.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest here, being far enough from street level but not top-floor hot.
🔊 Noise notes
Long Xuyen's Tran Hung Dao Street is a main drag with motorbikes from dawn past midnight. Expect horns, traffic drag racing, and market hawking near Cho Long Xuyen. The hotel has no soundproofing at 3-star level.
Insider tips
1. Book a high floor (3 or 4) and bring earplugs — the street noise is constant. 2. Check in early to choose your room; no lift means stairs, so negotiate a rate for a quieter back-facing room if available.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
