Chronicles of Nha Trang
Nha Trang has a rich history dating back to the 3rd century AD, when it was a major trading port during the Cham period. The city's strategic location on the South China Sea made it a crucial stop for merchants and sailors. In the 19th century, Nha Trang became a French colonial outpost, and the city's architecture reflects this heritage, with many French-era buildings still standing today. In the 20th century, Nha Trang developed into a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its beautiful beaches and vibrant cultural scene. Today, Nha Trang is a thriving city with a unique blend of traditional and modern culture.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Viễn Đông Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor. These are high enough to reduce street noise but still within easy walking distance via the stairs if the lift is busy. Rooms on these floors also tend to receive better natural light and have a sense of space.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor and the 1st floor. Ground floor rooms are directly adjacent to the lobby and street, so you’ll hear foot traffic, reception calls, and motorbike noise. First-floor rooms often face the side alley or service areas, which can be noisy during deliveries.
Best views
The best view is from higher floors facing the main street. You’ll see Nha Trang’s palm-fringed streets and possibly a sliver of the coastline if the hotel is oriented that way. Lower floors just look onto other buildings or the adjacent road.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest. They sit above the main street-level bustle and are removed from ground-floor service entrances and the lift lobby's foot traffic.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in Nha Trang, so expect traffic noise—especially motorbikes—during the day. Morning and early evening are busiest. There may also be noise from a nearby market or street food vendors if you’re on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. If you’re sensitive to motorbike noise, ask for a room with windows on the courtyard side (rather than the street). 2. Check in after 2pm to avoid the rush and bag a quieter room—the reception team are usually more flexible then.
- 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
