Shining Riverside Hoi An Boutique & Spa

We have just spent 8 nights here and absolutely loved it.It was modern and clean and had the most amazing pool,which we used a lot! What makes this place though is the staff.From the front desk/reception staff through to the dining room/bar staff(especially Trang)nothing was ever too much trouble and they were just all so lovely and friendly and wanted to help you.

We absolutely loved our stay at shining riverside. It was our favourite place to stay throughout our whole trip. It was a little out of town, which we actually enjoyed. We loved jumping on a free rental bike and biking into the main part of town. It a really easy route when you’ve done it once. Being out of of the main centre made it really peaceful and quiet and felt like a resort. The pool area was amazing! And we loved to be able come back mid day for a cool off when it got too hot and then get ready to go again when it cooled down a bit. The room we had was huge compared to the others we stayed in which made it easy to open our suitcases and spread out a bit. The room was beautiful and clean and had a balcony looking over the pool. Free breakfast is a major bonus so we could just stroll downstairs, fuel up and then plan the day. The staff were amazing and really helpful! Bina at reception was incredibly helpful and felt left a friend, she would message me on WhatsApp advising me on things to do for the day, booking taxis, and checking how we slept. Was very cute! :) We used the gym, it was a bit basic… but we really didn’t have the energy or motivation to commit in the heat and after our big days so not a biggy. We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone that wants a little oasis. ☀️🇻🇳

the staff were so friendly. the pool was lovely and the location was great. We were close to lots of great restaurants and a short drive from old town. the room was clean and comfortable and we had an amazing view.

We loved our stay at Shinning riverside, the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly, always eager to help. The room was spacious, very clean and with a lovely view (and we were kindly upgraded for free!). We enjoyed the bikes, often biking to an bang beach which was a lovely ride through the rice fields and on cycle lanes (about 20mins). The breakfast was nice but nothing mind blowing. The pool was very big, although we didn’t use it too much as there was lots of children at the time we were there. The location is really great, some of the best restaurants in hoi an are a minutes walk away - the restaurants further into old town don’t have great reviews. Finally the walk into town isn’t too bad, takes about 20minutes along the river, but you can get a £2 grab or taxi fairly easily. We would 100% return to shinning riverside if we come back to hoi an which is an amazing location to visit.

Breakfast was excellent, there were a couple of minor issues with our room and these were attended to immediately- we couldn’t fault the wonderful staff who were so friendly and obliging. The pool was very refreshing with very comfortable poolside furniture. The location was approx 2klm from the old town and an easy bike ride or cheap taxi ride.
