    If they had a pool table somewhere to help create a recreational environment that would be bonus. I noticed there is also A Backpackers bar close by and I wonder if they are affiliated. If so the opportunities to partner and service the hostel guests at this sister business would be great

    The hostel was everything advertised. It added to my experience in Danang and ultimately Vietnam.

    No lights nearby bed, bathrooms weren’t clean (one had a roof that leaked the whole time so was always damp) pool is not at all how it looks on pictures, bar closed early.

    Beds were big and comfy in my room, bar upstairs was nice, could hire push bike for free

    Bathrooms could do with a major clean, and area around a little iffy but not unsafe

    It was clean beds, bathroom was a bit dodgy with a leaking ceiling. The hostel has good activities and free buses to major things and really helped with booking tours. Location is about 10 mins walk to the beach, that was lovely, although area around it is a bit naff. Lovely place to meet other travellers overall

    Unfortunately I had a couple nights of disturbed sleep as people came in around 2-3am and turned all the lights on. There was also construction work going on during the day so was hard to rest after a long journey. I appreciate this was not the hostels fault, especially as construction works can be essential.

    The property was close to the beach so was easy to walk to with a few food places around to eat at. It was a good hostel if you liked socialising, they offer a free welcome drink and organise evening activities. The rooms and bathrooms were cleaned each day. The rooftop is nice and the food they provided was cheap and pretty good. The staff were all helpful and friendly.

    there is no plug for the hairdryer in the bathroom and i didn’t want to use it in the bedroom because my roommates could be sleeping so sometimes i had to not dry it

    you get so much for what you pay that i even question how they make money. Free towels, a drink every day, free grabs, a nice rooftop and pool.. very good! not a party hostel but definitely social

    Could have done with lights in the beds, and a little out of the way but they do have a shuttle.

    Comfy beds, really big. The welcome drink and happy hours were a nice touch. The nightly activities helped socialise with other guests.

    My stay at this hostel in Da Nang was pretty average. The bed was big and comfortable, and having a locker with a key was convenient. However, the room felt quite small and cramped—my upper dorm bed was so close to the next one that even a quiet call was disruptive. There was no separate light for the upper bunks, and the bathroom was smaller than expected. I had assumed a 4-bed dorm would have a private bathroom, but it didn’t. The shower gel was also empty. Additionally, the tour they offered was slightly overpriced and not very well-organized. Overall, it was okay but could have been better for the price.

    One major disappointment was the swimming pool—it was empty during my stay, which was unexpected. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and the spa services were a nice touch. If they improve the facilities, this could be a much better experience.

    Here’s a more b The Backpacker & Spa has a social atmosphere and a convenient location near the beach, but my stay had a few downsides. The rooms are quite small, which can feel a bit cramped, especially for a hostel. The common areas could be more comfortable, as they don’t really invite you to relax or socialize for long.

    The location is not great and there aren’t many food places or marts nearby but the neighborhood has a nice local feel to it so it’s not too bad. Just know that you will be needing to book Grabs to get to places.

    The beds are super comfortable and they give you a clean towel each day. The rooftop area was nice and the staff was fantastic! Everyday they have some activities and after that there is a free ride to the dragon bridge night market and/or the bar area! the staff Neda, Tu, Nhi, Kieu and Tai were all sooo lovely, friendly, and super helpful!
