Lodging in Hoi An
Hi: I'll be spending 4 days in Hoi An - and am a bit overwhelmed with my combined lack of knowledge of the town, and the abundance of lodging choices.
I would appreciate any recommendations regarding location - I tend to like to be centrally located, (and realize Hoi An is small), i.e. what area of town would be ideal to select.
I can go from there from TripAdvisor ratings, but any personal hotel choices would be appreciated as well.
Thanks

I had a big long reply typed up, but my browser crashed while clicking around on Google maps.
Basically, if you're there for Old Town, I suggest staying near/in there. I stayed near the Anantara and the distance was fine, but some people might not like the dark walk home. There's a big variety of places and prices. Check booking.com, agoda.com and tripadvisor for pictures and reviews.
Also, for an even better experience, try to be there during a full moon.

I stayed at the Lantana Hoi An for $90 for 2 nights. It was a very nice clean boutique hotel about 5 minutes walk away from the old town. The breakfast was amazing and service was great as well. Room and bathroom are modern but the AC needs a little fixing (I like my sleeping room temperature around 19C/66F). They offer a private pickup and dropoff at DAD airport for about $20 which is worth it considering DAD is quite far away from Hoi An.

I've stayed in several places, and the best so far is a little 3* homestay/hotel in the center called Riverside Impression Homestay (they have a site) - very comfy, relaxing, small pool, garden with bonsai and orchid. I want to return!
What time of year, that's important (fall is the stormy season on the Central Coast!)
I paid $37. in 2015

November? It might be completely flooded that time. I would suggest NOT to stay at islands, but rather stay somewhere inland.

If you decide to give a shot, ask for the rom named Metal which is in the back.

I'm going the last week of November.
I made a reservation at the Lantana Hoi An, thanks for the advice. It's changeable, so if any other amazing recommendations come thru I can cancel.
Thanks for the great info!
