Experience of the stay
On my first night of a solo 6-day, 5-night trip to Da Nang, I stayed at Wink Hotel, which I had wanted to try with its "24-hour stay" option. The concept of "24-hour stay" means that check-out time is 24 hours after check-in, which is straightforward.
I planned to arrive in Da Nang around 3 PM and had a hotel check-in time of 2 PM the next day, so this seemed perfect for my first night.
Wink Hotel is quite affordable among the places I found to stay in Da Nang. I've heard tales of Vietnamese hotels being cheap but poor quality, so I wasn't expecting much... but it was fantastic!!!
[Highlights]
- Clean: The cleaning service is impeccable, and the facilities are new. Even if you’re used to Japan's clean hotels, you'll feel comfortable staying here.
- Great view: Be sure to turn off the lights in your room and enjoy the city view!
- Breakfast included: Quite rare for HafH, there’s a live kitchen where you can enjoy omelets and pho.
- Close to major sightseeing areas: The pink church (Da Nang Cathedral) is only about a 3-minute walk from the hotel, and it's convenient to reach other tourist sites as well.
- Modern decor: The interior feels contemporary yet has a hint of Vietnamese flair, adding to the excitement of being abroad.
I stayed at around seven hotels in Da Nang, but this was one I would highly recommend for its balanced soft and hard aspects.
With check-out being 24 hours after check-in, you can adjust your check-in time to keep the room available until your flight on the last day, allowing for a relaxing stop while sightseeing.
I would love to return to this accommodation!
[For those considering a stay]
There are two Wink Hotels in Da Nang: this one, called "Danang Centre," and the other is named "Danang Riverside." If it's your first time in Da Nang and you're looking for convenience, I recommend "Danang Centre," as it's within walking distance of Han Market and Dragon Bridge!
Experiences during the trip

Da Nang Cathedral, just a 3-minute walk from the hotel. It's stunning both day and night! Pink and adorable!

The large market called "Han Market," within walking distance from the hotel. You can find everything from food to apparel, accessories, and custom-made Ao Dai! Negotiating prices is also a fun experience, so definitely check it out.

Right after exiting Han Market towards the Han River, you will find the Vietnamese restaurant "An THOI." A Michelin-starred restaurant in 2024, always with a queue. Everything is delicious, and I ended up visiting twice during my stay. The Banh Xeo was unbelievably good!!! During peak times, you may wait for about 30 minutes to an hour, but if you're staying at Wink Hotel, you must try this place. The mango smoothie is also delicious.

A restaurant called "Bikini Bottom Express" is about a 5-minute walk from Wink Hotel. You can enjoy American-style dishes like hamburgers and cheese melt sandwiches. On my first day, I rushed in feeling famished, and the ample servings of fries, cheeseburger, and pineapple juice fully replenished my energy. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of the burger, but it was around 800 yen for those three items, a great price in Vietnam. It's a popular spot with no misses; I recommend it when you want a non-Vietnamese option.
