Da Nang is a vibrant coastal city in Vietnam, and it was my favourite destination in this beautiful country. Much more relaxed than the other cities in South East Asia, Da Nang is known for its sandy beaches, pagodas, marble mountains and the iconic Bà Nà hills.
It also has plenty of cool places to eat and drink, and I found it a hub for good vegan food. With this fantastic destination, you need a hotel that has charm, comfort, and convenience.
For me, Tashi Ocean Hotel & Apartment Da Nang ticked all the boxes when I stayed here. I found the hotel through Booking.com, which I found super reliable and easy to use while travelling throughout Vietnam.
My stay at this stylish aparthotel was exceptionally good value, costing around £17 per night.
