An Thuong area — the backpacker zone

The An Thuong area (sometimes called “Western Street” by expats) near My Khe Beach is the main backpacker and digital nomad zone. The streets have a concentration of international restaurants, cafes with wifi, convenience stores, and budget accommodation. My Khe Beach is 5–15 minutes walk from most An Thuong hostels.

Budget alternatives to hostels

Da Nang has many budget guesthouses with private rooms in the ₫250,000–400,000 ($10–16) range — clean rooms with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. If you prefer privacy over the dorm social experience, these represent excellent value.

The streets one block back from the main An Thuong hotel strip have significantly lower prices for the same beach proximity. Family-run guesthouses on these back streets are often newer and better maintained than their prices suggest, as they compete with the hostels for budget travellers.
