Hoi An sadly is over-run with organised very persistent (mostly) children hawking postcards etc. to the point it will drive tourists away - you can't even have a meal in peace. I saw some ugly scenes where diners eventually lost their patience. You could have a very nice holiday in Hoi An by making the Hoi An Hotel your base and escaping to and spending time around the lovely swimming pool - fortifying your resistance to those kids...

Stayed at Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort - Hoi An, Vietnam.

We decided to have some clothes made - however once the tailor had our business they were not interested in making any alternations. We had to argue with them to make simple alterations, and even then they were not done correctly. This wasted most of our time in Hoi An, and we did not get time to do much sightseeing. Also, be careful when invited to visit someone's home - they will try and sell you something!

Hoi An is quite touristy. In fact, it's like a European resort with a Vietnamese staff. Most of the post card kids are aggressive and some are malicious. If you have been to Angkor Wat, don't bother to go to My Son.

Hoi An is a great destination but is becoming a bit touristy. The postcard selling children are very persistent and we saw one incident of aggressive behaviour from one of these sellers. We would recommend Des Amis and Yellow River restaurants - both have fantastic food that we didn't find in other parts of Vietnam (try the "white roses"). We took two tours with Seventeen Tour Company (across the road from Hoi An Hotel) and would recommend them. They offer inexpensive and well organised tours. The tour to My Son with boat return is highly recommended.
