The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Danang Backpackers Hostel boasts the biggest dorm in the world -- whether this is true or not, they still have a lot to be proud of, as they do go out of their way to be the most outstanding hostel of their area in every single way.
The Location
When coming to stay in Da Nang, you have to make a crucial choice -- are you more interested in enjoying the beach, would you like to base yourself strategically to explore Hoi An and the Marble Mountains, or will you spend most of your time in the city of Da Nang? The location of Danang Backpackers favours the latter plans. The hostel is in between the Song Han and Dragon bridges, with the downtown touristy area on one side and the airport on the other. It is also near street-food stalls, restaurants, and supermarkets.
Rooms and Bathrooms
Here, you will have a wide choice of room types! The cheapest option is an incredibly massive room of the hostel, which sleeps about thirty people. Surprisingly though, it is still private and quiet enough for a good night's sleep, but try to be as far away from the entrance door as possible, as the light from the corridor does shine through! Under your bed you have a locker, which is needed in such a huge room. The bathrooms are on the first floor and there are many of them; they are simple but comfortable enough.
Common Spaces
The hostel has a big area for chilling both on the ground floor and the rooftop. The rooftop has a bar, half of which is indoors and half of which is outdoors. You get your breakfast here in the morning upon presenting the voucher you got at check in, so make sure not to lose it! The choice is somewhat more creative than at other hostels -- for example, one option is peanut butter pancakes and another one is bacon pancakes. There is also a space for movie nights and jamming sessions.
Summary
Danang Backpackers is a pretty decent hostel, and for the price, you get a lot more than at other hostels. The only downside is that they insist on holding on to your passport the entire time you spend with them, even if you specifically ask them to make an exception.
