Where to exchange currency for the best rate in Nha Trang — hotel, reception, or gold/jewelry shops?

TL;DR
Hotel exchange rates are usually a bit worse (around 2550–2607 VND per unit), but the difference is small (~$3-4). Jewelry/gold shops near hotels typically offer better rates; ask at reception if there's no shop nearby.
What the community said
One traveler exchanged money right at the hotel front desk, got a decent rate, and mentioned a nearby jewelry shop with good rates too — convenient enough for package tourists who don't want to spend time searching around.

Right after arrival, exchanged money at the hotel at a rate of 2550 VND, didn't bother looking for a better rate since the difference was only about $3.

Another traveler exchanged currency right upon arrival at the hotel at a rate of 2607 VND and asked if that was a fair rate — the gap compared to street exchangers is usually minor.
