If youโ€™re on a budget, this is perfect. Well placed for all the things in Da Nang. They are super helpful with anything you want. Laundry was done very quickly. They also rent out scooters which means you can have so much more freedom. For what you pay, this is great.

Mattresst was 25 years old at least. Springs sigfing into me all night. No water in the shower or taps overnight. Sheets dirty and stained.

Only stayed a night but glad I booked a river view room...it's so pretty in the day and especially at night with a full view of Dragon Bridge. Room was spacious and comfortable, no big complaints. This place seemed a better value than other nearby places. At checkout they said I used two bottles of water from the fridge but evidently were never stocked...they didn't charge me in the end. Location of this place is hard to beat...so much walkability.

Perfect location, right on the river. I booked a river view room and wow, what a treat in day and night. The window was a little dirty though. It's an older property but is a decent value compared to other riverfront properties. Just stayed a night but the place was fine and would stay again.

Nettes kleines privates Hotel in zentraler Lage am Han river. Vom Inhaber bis zum Angestellten sind alle sehr nett, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Da ich mich wie bei Freunden sehr wohl gefรผhlt habe, sehe ich รผber kleinere Kritikpunkte am Zimmer gern hinweg. Diese sind nicht einmal erwรคhnenswert. Fรผr mich steht fest: wenn Danang, dann auf jeden Fall wieder dieses Hotel, weil man sich bei Freunden einfach immer wohl fรผhlt ;)
