At first, everything went smoothly — the hosts were kind and even offered a discount of 100,000 VND per night if I paid in cash for a longer stay. The apartment is clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable, though the kitchen lacks basics like a knife.
However, the experience quickly turned disappointing. I work online on European time, and it was impossible to sleep properly due to loud music and someone talking in a micro from the school next door (6:50–8:00 a.m. and 3:00–5:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday), plus hammer noise on Sunday mornings. Even with earplugs and closed windows, the noise was unbearable.
The area itself is also far from ideal — the building is right next to a busy road with constant traffic noise, making the whole neighborhood feel hectic and unpleasant. Definitely not the kind of place where you can relax.
Hygiene was another issue: I found black hairs on the floor and in the bathroom every single day, even right after the cleaner had been. One night, a mouse even tried to enter the bedroom from the balcony — it took a long time and a lot of effort to get it back outside. These kinds of experiences made me feel like the place wasn’t being properly maintained.
Worst of all, on the day I left, the owner confronted me angrily, demanding that I pay for two 50cl bottles of water that were in the fridge when I arrived. I had assumed, as is common in Asia, that they were complimentary — especially since I was given 2 50cl free bottles every 4 days during cleaning. There was no sign or mention that these particular ones were chargeable. When I asked for written proof, he became verbally aggressive and started shouting at me. His tone was intimidating, and I ended up leaving in tears. During the argument, he told me, “Europeans are all rich, so you should pay” — a deeply inappropriate and offensive comment.
I paid more than 300euros for 15 sleepless nights, unreliable internet, and poor hygiene — yet I’m still giving 2 stars for the apartment’s interior design. But if you value peace, professionalism, and cleanliness, I strongly suggest...
Read moreThis place true to it's namesake, a newly built boutique hotel with about 8 units, parked in a great location, and an elevator to get you to your room. Everything is accurately described in the listing and beyond my expectations. Mrs. Hue runs a wonderful place here in Da Nang with the hospitality of a saint. The accommodation is brand new offering unparalleled cleanliness in addition to the constant upkeep by everyone working there. Aircon is new and cold, without smell; bathroom is wonderfully clean with hot shower. Bed is comfortable and soft, and the sheets are changed daily, as well as towels. Fresh fruit in your fridge complimentary, alcohol and water for purchase as well at reasonable pricing. Toiletries also included. The location is good, just off the main street; a few blocks from the beach in one direction, and a few more to the dragon bridge and downtown in the other. A few blocks away are a couple convenient stores near the beach. Mrs. Hue and her husband, are incredibly helpful if you have any issues or questions in planning, getting around, tourist and local food suggestions. The staff in addition are welcoming, and kind despite more of a language barrier. The value is incredible here and my best experience in Vietnam. I was told there is more to come, as they just opened, including a bar on the top floor and more frequent events/bbqs. Ah, they also offer free pickup/dropoff to the airport as well which is about 20 minutes away. All of this, with breakfast included, of which is delicious and plentiful cooked fresh by Mrs. Hue herself or the staff... You're foolish not to book this place. I'll be traveling all over Vietnam, and likely return to Da Nang - there is no doubt I'll stay here again. I trust there will be no better service in Vietnam, than...
