Best Hostels in Da Nang | The Vietnam Guides

Da Nang’s hostel scene is less backpacker-dense than Hoi An or Hanoi but has strong options, particularly in the An Thuong area near My Khe Beach. The city’s central location between Hoi An (30 minutes south) and Hue (2.5 hours north) makes it a good base for exploring central Vietnam on a budget.

Best hostels

Lighthouse Danang Hostel (An Thuong, 2 minutes from My Khe Beach): Located on An Thuong 2 Street, directly in the heart of Da Nang’s main backpacker zone. A 2-minute walk from My Khe Beach makes this one of the most convenient beach-access hostels in the city. Clean dorms with privacy curtains and comfortable mattresses. The An Thuong location puts restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and the beach within easy walking distance. Dorm beds from approximately ₫180,000 ($7.20). Private rooms from approximately ₫450,000 ($18) as of 2026.

ROM Casa Hostel Da Nang (An Thuong, steps from beach): Distinctive hostel built from repurposed shipping containers at An Thuong 4 Street — a short walk from My Khe Beach. The container design is unusual in Vietnam’s hostel scene and the common areas are well set up for socialising. The beach proximity is the main draw: guests can walk to the water in under 5 minutes. Dorm beds from approximately ₫180,000 ($7.20), with average nightly rates around ₫200,000 ($8) as of 2026.

The Backpacker Hostel & Spa (An Thuong, 600m from beach): The most facility-rich hostel in the An Thuong area. Outdoor swimming pool, rooftop bar, and spa facilities are unusual at this price point. The hostel offers free bicycle hire (limited stock), a free welcome drink at the rooftop bar from 16:00–17:00, and a free shuttle to nightlife venues. Good choice if you want the social infrastructure of a larger hostel with beach access. Dorm beds from approximately ₫375,000 ($15) as of 2026 — higher than smaller hostels, but the pool and included perks offset this.

City Hostel Danang (city centre, 3 minutes from Han River): Central Da Nang location, 3 minutes walk from the Han River and Han Market. Well positioned for the Dragon Bridge fire shows on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 21:00 — the bridge is 1 km away on foot. The city-centre location is less convenient for the beach (approximately 20 minutes by Grab) but much better for museums, markets, and restaurants. Dorm beds from approximately ₫125,000 ($5) as of 2026. Scooter rental available in-house.

Seahorse Hotel & Hostel by Haviland (Hai Chau district, city centre): Located at 29 Yen Bai Street in Hai Chau district, 8 minutes from My Khe Beach and a short walk from cafes and spas. The hostel has a rooftop pool with city views — a notable feature for a city-centre property. Dorm beds available from approximately ₫200,000 ($8). The atmosphere is slightly more hotel-like than social compared to the An Thuong hostels, which suits travellers who prefer quieter, cleaner accommodation over party vibes. As of 2026.

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.

The area is well connected by Grab to the city centre (approximately ₫30,000–50,000 / $1.20–2 by Grab car, 10–15 minutes) and to Hoi An (approximately ₫150,000–200,000 / $6–8 by Grab car, 30 minutes).

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.

For stays of one week or more, short-term apartment rentals through local agencies or social media groups start from approximately ₫5,000,000–8,000,000 ($200–320) per month for a studio with kitchen, wifi, and air conditioning.
