Da Nang's BEST Studio: HUGE Window, Street Views! (Deluxe)

Da Nang's BEST Studio: HUGE Window, Street Views! (Deluxe)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Da Nang's BEST Studio: HUGE Window, Street Views! (Deluxe) experience. Forget the polished travel brochures, this is the real deal, warts and all. And let me tell you, after my whirlwind stay, I'm still trying to piece it all together!
First Impressions: The Window (and the Street Noise!)
Alright, let's get the obvious out of the way: that HUGE WINDOW is the star. Seriously, it's practically a panoramic postcard. Looking out on the chaotic, vibrant streets of Da Nang is an absolute experience. You can practically smell the pho wafting up from the street vendors below. And speaking of below… the motorbikes! Okay, so the street noise is… present. It's part of the charm, I guess. Brings you right into the heart of Da Nang. Think of it as a free, 24/7 soundtrack of Vietnamese life. Just, maybe pack some earplugs. Or embrace the chaos! (I tried… mostly got used to it.)
Accessibility & Safety: Can You Handle It? (I Really Hope So!)
Now, I'm not mobility-impaired, but I did take a peek at their accessibility features. Based on what I saw, they claim to be wheelchair-friendly. The elevator is there, thank goodness! (Stairs in the Da Nang heat? No, thank you!) HOWEVER, always triple-check with the hotel directly to confirm specifics. They have facilities for disabled guests, but the devil is in the details, right? Important: I'd also strongly recommend getting a room on a high floor for a better view (and hopefully less street noise).
In terms of safety, they've got the essentials covered:
- CCTV everywhere! (It's comforting, albeit a little Big Brother-ish)
- 24-hour security: Front desk is always manned.
- Smoke alarms, fire extinguishers: The usual suspects.
Cleanliness (and OCD-Approved!)
Okay, I'm a bit of a clean freak. Sue me. But the room was spotless. Like, seriously, gleaming. They advertise Anti-viral cleaning products, Rooms sanitized between stays, and professional-grade sanitizing services. Which, in the age of… well, you know… is a huge deal. Seeing the staff diligently disinfecting everything in the common areas (daily disinfection in common areas). I felt safe, which is a win. Hand sanitizer? Everywhere. They even offer Room sanitization opt-out available if that's your thing, but I didn't dare.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Breakfast!)
Let's talk fuel. There's a decent selection of dining options:
- Restaurant(s): Several, offering Asian cuisine, International cuisine, even a Vegetarian restaurant, it's good to have options.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Ah, the buffet! Asian breakfast, Western breakfast… basically, carbs and caffeine heaven. Be warned, the buffet can get a little chaotic in the morning rush. But hey, that's part of the fun, right? And if you're a late riser, they offer Breakfast service in your room.
- Room service [24-hour]: Perfect for those late-night pho cravings.
- Coffee shop: For your caffeine fix.
The Amenities: The Good, The Great, The Meh
Alright, let's break down the perks:
- Pool with view: This is the money shot! The pool is stunning, with amazing views of the city. Definitely a highlight.
- Fitness center: Didn't try it. Too busy eating pho.
- Spa/sauna: I did hit the Spa/sauna, the Steamroom, and the Foot bath. Heavenly! A fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring. Get yourself a Body scrub, Body wrap, go wild!
- Wi-Fi [free]: And it actually works! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms and in the Wi-Fi in public areas. That's a win in my book.
- Air conditioning: Essential. Da Nang is HOT.
- Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Ironing service: All there, ready and waiting.
- Gift/souvenir shop: For those last-minute presents you inevitably forget to buy.
- On-site event hosting: I’m not sure what kind of event I’d host, but hey, you could!
- Convenience store: snacks and drinks.
What About the Room Itself? The Inside Scoop!
Okay, let's get granular! The Deluxe room is, well, deluxe. Spacious, modern, and yes, that HUGE WINDOW is still the absolute highlight.
The Good:
- Air conditioning: (Again, essential!)
- Blackout curtains: You need these! (For noise, obviously.)
- Safe: For your valuables.
- Coffee/tea maker: Caffeine, hooray!!!!
- Mini bar: Stocked with essential… things!
- Bathrobes & Slippers: Fancy fancy!
- Free bottled water: Hydration is key!
- Daily housekeeping: Excellent!
- Internet access – wireless: Reliable!
- Additional toilet: That's a plus!
The Not-So-Good (Minor Quibbles):
- The soundproofing, while adequate, isn't perfect. Some street noise will seep in.
- The lighting can be a bit… clinical. Could use some more ambient lamps.
- The toiletries were basic, but I had my own stuff, so whatever.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax, and Things to Avoid (My Two Cents)
- Must-Dos:
- Explore the Marble Mountains.
- Hit My Khe Beach (gorgeous!).
- Wander through the colorful streets.
- Eat ALL the pho.
- Visit the Dragon Bridge at night (it breathes fire!).
- Relax:
- Get a massage at the spa (trust me!).
- Lounge by the pool.
- Enjoy a cocktail at the poolside bar.
- Avoid:
- Getting lost in the narrow alleyways at night (alone).
- Eating street food from questionable vendors (unless your stomach is made of steel).
The Service: Helpful, but Not Always Seamless
The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. The Concierge was a lifesaver when it came to finding restaurants and arranging transport. They all seemed well-trained in safety protocols.

Escape to Sweden: STF Hostel Mariestad - Your Unforgettable Adventure Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because this ain't your average perfectly-packaged travel itinerary. This is my trip to Da Nang, Vietnam, Deluxe Studio with a Street View (big window, baby!), and trust me, it's going to be a wild ride. Prepare yourselves for a beautiful mess.
Da Nang Debauchery: A Mostly Structured Chaos
Day 1: Arrival and Street Food Salvation (aka: OMG I'm in Vietnam!)
Morning (Roughly): Arrive at Da Nang International Airport (DAD). Jet lag? You betcha. Feeling like a confused panda? Also, yes. Finding that pre-booked transfer (fingers crossed it's actually there…) and getting whisked away to the Deluxe Studio, Street View. Think: unpacking, gawking at the window view (hopefully the street life is as vibrant as advertised!), and a quick power nap to combat the travel coma.
Afternoon (Probably): Okay. Officially awake. Now comes the critical mission: locate a decent street food stall. I'm talking the real deal. Not the tourist traps with the English menus and the suspiciously smiley staff. I'm talking, "where do the locals eat?" kind of food. My go-to street food test: Banh Mi. I'm searching for crusty bread, a perfect balance of herbs, and a meat that is a flavour bomb. I'm likely to wander around a bit, get lost, sweat a lot, and probably accidentally order something I have no idea what it is. But that's part of the fun, right? Right?!
Evening (Maybe): Sunset stroll along My Khe Beach. Or maybe not. Depends on how full my belly is and how much energy I have after the Banh Mi mission. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll definitely try to see it. I'm sure it's glorious. Then it's back to the room. Maybe I should order a beer from the supermarket and watch the sunset go down from my big window!
Quirky observation: The scooter traffic. Oh. My. God. It's organized chaos. I'm probably going to spend half my time just trying to figure out what to.
Emotional reaction: The moment I step out of the airport, it hits me: This is real. I'm actually in Vietnam. Pure, unadulterated excitement mixed with a healthy dose of "what have I gotten myself into?" But mostly excitement!
Day 2: Marble Mountains & Dragon Bridge (or, the Day I Realized I Hate Heights)
Morning (Early, if I'm lucky): Time to explore the Marble Mountains. I saw some pictures, they looked epic. Climbing, caves, temples…sounds amazing. Getting there might involve a Grab (ride-hailing app) or, if I'm feeling brave, trying out a local bus. I'm seriously hoping the hike isn't too strenuous. And I'm absolutely, positively NOT going to try to climb every single mountain. My legs will hate me.
Imperfection alert: Okay, I'm already anticipating a moment of frustration when I realize I didn't pack enough water or sunscreen. That's just how I roll.
Afternoon (Hopefully not too burnt): Lunch near the Marble Mountains, hopefully at a place that serves a good Pho. (A girl needs to eat!) Then onward--to the Dragon Bridge. I'm not sure if I will feel like watching the bridge breathe fire and water. But if it's near sunset, I believe I should go. I hate that I'm doing this, but it is a must.
Emotional ramblings: It makes me so excited just thinking about walking around Da Nang and seeing all the interesting sights and sounds!
Evening (Bridge time): The Dragon Bridge show! I have heard it is awesome. Fire and water? What's not to like? I'm prepared to be a little bit underwhelmed. I hate that I'm starting out so negative! But I can't help it. I have to see it. And I hope it does something unexpected and amazing! It's a whole thing.
Doubling down on the emotional rollercoaster: Okay, so I think I'm kind of feeling the love/hate. I'm excited to check this out, but I'm also a bit dreading it. I hate crowds, and I hate the feeling of being "forced" to do something. But then I will go, and I will probably be surprised and happy. I love being wrong.
Day 3: Hoi An Day Trip & Tailoring Troubles (and maybe a little shopping)
Morning (Departure Time TBD): Time for the obligatory trip to Hoi An. This is where things start getting a lot more unstructured. I will hire a driver or get a motorbike. Hoi An is beautiful. But I'm not a huge fan of the crowds. So plan the day's schedule to avoid the tourist groups.
Afternoon (Chop-chop!): Shopping for tailor-made clothes. The stories of tailor shops are pretty crazy. I have never done this before. This is going to be an adventure. But I am nervous about getting ripped off. I'm also going to have to commit. I'm pretty indecisive! I will also try to visit the old town. It's so peaceful!
Anecdote: Okay, so the last time I tried to navigate a foreign tailor, I ended up with trousers that were three sizes too small. The memory is still fresh and painful. Let's hope I can make sense of fabric and sizing!
Evening (A little too late): Dinner in Hoi An and then head back to Da Nang. I'm sure it will be amazing.
Late Night (if I'm not too exhausted): Back in Da Nang, I will probably wander to a night market. Maybe I will treat myself with a massage.
Day 4: Beach Vibe & Farewell Pho (and the inevitable "I don't want to leave!")
Morning (Lazy, mostly): Sleep in! Finally! Then a relaxed morning at My Khe Beach. Maybe some sunbathing (but with plenty of sunscreen this time, damn it!). I need to chill.
Opinionated language: Honestly, the beach is a must-do. You can't go to Da Nang without spending time at the beach. End of discussion.
Afternoon (Food coma potential): One last epic Pho lunch. Gotta find the best damn Pho in town! And then, maybe, just maybe, I'll hit up a cooking class?
Messy structure: Okay, here's where the itinerary starts to blur. The truth is, at this point, I'll probably be exhausted from all the sight-seeing and indecisiveness. There will be a lot of wandering.
Evening (The bittersweet goodbye): Packing. Sigh. One last sunset from my big window. Then a final, reflective, moment of staring out the window, thinking about all the things I experienced. Trying to remember all the sights and sounds. This is going to be hard!
Day 5: Departure (Sniff, sniff…)
- Morning: Wake up. Get ready. Head to the airport. Feeling sad!
- Emotional reaction: The whole trip will come to an end. I can't help but hope I will be able to come back. Then I will come back!
- Quirky observation: I will have learned some Vietnamese (probably only "hello," "thank you," and "more beer"). I will also probably have acquired a ridiculous pile of souvenirs that I will regret buying later.
- Opinionated ending All the beautiful memories will be something to treasure!
And that, my friends, is my Da Nang itinerary. A work in progress. A chaotic, imperfect, utterly human adventure. Wish me luck! And who knows, maybe I'll actually stick to some of this. Or maybe I'll just end up eating Banh Mi and watching the scooters go by. Either way, it's going to be a blast.
Phu Quoc Island Sleep Paradise: Unwind & Explore Vietnam's Gem
Da Nang's BEST Studio: HUGE Window, Street Views! (Deluxe) - FAQ (Maybe)
Okay, Seriously, Is That Window REALLY as HUGE as They Say?!
Dude. The window. Oh. My. GOD. Yes. It's practically the entire *side* of the room. Like, it makes you feel like you're floating in a gigantic picture frame. I swear, the first time I walked in, I just stood there, mouth agape, for a good five minutes. My jaw actually hurt. It's ridiculously massive. Bigger than my entire apartment back home (which, admittedly, isn't saying much).
But here's the thing: it also means… *sun*. Brutal, glorious, skin-scorching sun. So be prepared to close the blinds if you're not a vampire (or want to avoid looking like a lobster). I tried to get a picture of the sunrise once, but then I fell back asleep. Definitely worth it though, for the view of the street below.
What's the Deal with the "Street Views?" Is it Cool? Are you Constantly Being Watched?!
Alright, listen up. The "street views" are a mixed bag. On one hand, breathtaking. You get a front-row seat to Da Nang life. Motorbikes zipping by, vendors hawking their stuff, kids playing... it's the real deal. It's vibrant, it's noisy, it's everything you want from a Vietnamese city.
BUT…and this is a big BUT…you DO feel a bit like you're in a goldfish bowl. Especially if you're on a lower floor. You're basically on stage. One morning, I was, uh, let's just say *less than presentable*. And I saw this little kid pointing and laughing. Mortifying. Consider it a minor trade-off for the amazing people-watching opportunities and the delicious food stalls you can see (and smell!) from above.
Deluxe?! What Makes This Place So "Deluxe"?! (And is it actually worth the extra cash?)
Okay, "Deluxe." Let's break this down, shall we? I mean, I'm not a gold-plated-toothbrush kind of guy, but I do appreciate a decent shower and a bed that doesn't try to murder me in my sleep.
The "deluxe" features are… variable. The marketing photos are *always* a lie, let's just get that out of the way. They show you a plush couch. Expect a slightly-worn, but still comfy, couch. The air conditioning? Works, which considering the humidity is a HUGE win. The toiletries? Well, the tiny shampoo bottles are *adorable* and the water pressure in the shower is actually GOOD. I even got a small balcony! Granted, the view from it wasn't the *best*… it looked primarily at the neighboring building's fire escape. But still, balcony!
Is it worth the extra money? Honestly? Probably. The peace of mind of knowing you're probably not going to get a bed bug infestation is worth the extra bit. Plus, that window. That damn window.
The Wi-Fi… Because We All Need It. Spill the Beans!
Ah, the internet. The lifeblood of modern existence. The Wi-Fi at the Da Nang Deluxe? OKAY! (Finally, something that wasn't completely ridiculous) It was surprisingly reliable. Streaming? No problem. Video calls? Smoother than they have any right to be. The only downside? Once, some guy on the street was trying to connect to it since it wasn't password protected, but the front desk staff were on it. They were absolutely lovely.
What About Noise?! Is it Loud?! I Need My Sleep!
Welcome to Vietnam, where silence is a myth. Okay, okay, to be fair, the studio *itself* is pretty well insulated. But Da Nang is alive, 24/7! Motorbikes roar. Street vendors shout. Karaoke blasts (and I mean *BLASTS*) at all hours. I'm a light sleeper, so I brought earplugs. And they saved my sanity. You *will* hear the city. Embrace it. Or invest in some seriously heavy-duty ear protection.
Tell me about the location! Walkability? Food? Culture?
The location is key. Da Nang is basically a sprawling city. This studio? Smack-dab in a decent area. You can walk to some great food. Like, *amazing* pho places. Like, you-will-dream-about-the-pho-for-weeks-after amazing. I once ate pho *three times* in one day. Judge away!
Walkability? Decent. You won't be hoofing it everywhere, but you're close enough to grab a taxi or a motorbike taxi (which is my preferred way to go, although it does give my mother anxiety.) The beach is a taxi ride away, which is a bummer, but the trade off for the food around is WORTH IT. The local market? Paradise. Just be prepared to haggle. (I was terrible, but it was fun trying.)
Any Hidden Fees or Sneaky Surprises I Should Know About?!
Alright, so, the whole "hidden fee" thing. Always a concern. Honestly? I was bracing myself. But! Aside from a minor charge for a laundry service (which was really, really cheap!), nothing major. You get a free bottle of water per day. WIN! No sneaky "resort fees" or demands to pay extra for the AC. (Though I'm sure this could change. Always ask!) Just look at the fine print when you book. But honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great deal.
The Staff?! Helpful? Friendly? Egotistical?
The staff. Okay. I have feelings. They were... enthusiastic. They *tried* very hard. Some spoke decent English, others less so, but they were always smiling and eager to help. They're not going to be your best friends (probably), but they’re there. They were super helpful about booking taxis, and I really appreciated that. They also seemed genuinely happy to see you, and that's a nice feeling when you're a thousand miles from home.
