Can you smoke on the hotel room balcony in Nha Trang?

According to recent reviews, some Nha Trang hotels have tightened rules — guests aren't even allowed to dry clothes on the balcony, let alone smoke there.

Almost every hotel has a separate smoking area with tables and chairs near the building entrance.

Tip from smoking travelers: if there's no ashtray on the balcony, an empty beer bottle works as a substitute.

Some hotels have separate designated smoking balconies on each floor, while smoking on the room's own balcony is usually against the rules (though guests sometimes do it discreetly).

Example: V Nha Trang hotel markets itself as non-smoking — there are no smoking rooms, and a balcony where smoking is allowed exists only in premium/executive-class rooms.

In practice, most Nha Trang hotels turn a blind eye to smoking on the room balcony. To confirm the exact policy of a specific hotel, message them directly via the 'Ask a question' feature on Trip.com before booking.
