TL;DR
Reputable hotels in Nha Trang always show the exchange rate on a calculator before you hand over cash, and some give a printed receipt — double-check the math yourself, no rush. A fair rate is around 26,000+ VND per USD or higher.
Just walk up to the hotel reception, show your dollars, and they'll type the exchange rate into a calculator for you — you don't even need to speak.
Exchanging is straightforward: they'll display the total in dong on a calculator before you commit. Just recount the final amount yourself carefully — it's your money.
Some hotels print out the exchange rate for you to sign after showing it on a calculator first. These places know what they're doing and prefer guests exchange money with them rather than going elsewhere.
