Where to Stay in Da Nang – A Guide to Hotels, Hostels, and Homestays

To make it a bit easier for you to find a place to stay that matches your budget and expectations and helps you make the most of your time in one of Vietnam’s most popular beach towns, we have put together a list of the best hotels, hostels, and other accommodations in Da Nang. Give it a read to find the perfect place for your traveling style and make your time in Vietnam even more fun and special.

Hotels vs. Homestays in Da Nang

Da Nang being one of the country’s most popular seaside destinations, it’s hardly a surprise that there are countless accommodation options. From fancy hotels and resorts to budget hostels and cute homestays, the city offers a bit of everything. Which one is best for you depends on how you like to travel and how much you’d like to/can spend.

If you are looking to chill out by a pool or on a private beach and want to take advantage of facilities like a gym and spa, a hotel or upscale resort is a great option for you. Alternatively, if you want to spend more time exploring the city and do some outdoor activities, a budget hotel or hostel might be better as you won’t be there much. Hostels are also great if you want to meet people to join your day trips or share travel stories with.

Finally, homestays are a wonderful option if you are on a budget or simply would like to spend some quality time with locals. In Vietnam, many people rent out spare rooms to guests, giving you the chance to experience their way of life. Depending on the type of homestay, you might have the chance to share meals with your host or have them take you on a tour of their favorite places in and around the city. What better way to get to know a place and ditch the beaten track than on the back of your host’s motorbike?

When booking a homestay, pay attention though. Since there are no standards or regulations, accommodation styles and quality vary widely from one place to the next. Some hosts might only rent out one room in their house to 1-3 travelers at a time. Others might have several rooms available, turning their homestay into a family-run bed and breakfast.

Another tip: be aware that houses will probably be a lot more basic than hostels or hotels. Be mindful and respectful of that. For example, rooms without A/C or small, shared bathrooms are not uncommon. This information is all available when you book though, so none of it should come as a surprise when you arrive. If there are some unexpected shortcomings in the place you booked, you can always cancel and find another one. That’s the advantage of a place like Da Nang, you have countless backup options.

What to Watch Out For

There are plenty of things to do in Da Nang to keep you busy for several days. From outdoor activities like hiking and exploring temples to bingeing on delicious seafood and other local specialties, there’s something for everyone.

While there are plenty of places you can get to easily, be it by taxi or on a rented bike, popular destinations like the Hai Van Pass or a day-trip to Hoi An will take some more planning. To make sure it all goes smoothly and you can enjoy your trip, research any tours or transportation you use carefully.

Read reviews on TripAdvisor or Facebook, check travel blogs, and talk to fellow explorers for recommendations. That way you’ll find out about genuine, established tour operators you can trust and large-scale tour resellers who are only after your money and not interested in providing a meaningful experience.

Remember that bigger is not always better. Especially the large companies often offer impersonal tours that are more geared toward volume rather than quality time spent. Just imagine being herded onto a bus with 30 other people or getting only a few minutes at a stunning viewpoint… Doesn’t sound like fun, does it? If you’re worried about the quality of your tour, Onetrip does offer a few individualized tours in Da Nang and they are worth checking out.

In addition, getting from the airport to your place of stay is yet another thing to worry about while you’re traveling. There are many forms of transportation such as bus, taxi, or private car. If you would like to book a private car, arrange it in advance with a driver waiting for you at the airport: Klook is for you.
