Flora Hotel Review: Affordable in the Heart of Da Nang

For my trip to Da Nang I stayed at the Flora Hotel. The hotel has a convenient location and it’s not bad for its price. The rooms are relatively small but very comfortable. A La Carte Beach Hotel Da Nang, which is also in Da Nang, was a pretty hotel that we have previously reviewed. However, A La Carte can be a little on the expensive side. If you are on a budget, but still want a clean and comfortable hotel with some convenient facilities then read on for our review of the Flora Hotel.

About Flora Hotel

This is a 3-star hotel, but rooms are comfortable, there are a lot of them, and the hotel is located in the center of Da Nang. The hotel is quiet even though it is in the city center. Breakfast is included in the room price and it is around $30 USD per night.

Where Is It

Flora Hotel is in the city center, close to many of Da Nang’s main attractions, great food spots and convenient transport links, including the airport.

Attractions Nearby

If you like to stroll around and hop in taxis for short distances, this hotel is a good one for you.

• Cham Museum – 1 km (10–15 minute walk)
• Dragon Bridge – 1.3 km
• Song Han Bridge – 1.9 km
• Da Nang International Airport – 2 km (10 minute drive)
  • The hotel reception also provided airport shuttle transfer for 75,000 VND and it took about 10 minutes to reach the hotel.
• My Khe Beach – 5 km
  • Taxi to the beach cost 70,000 VND and took about 20 minutes. We didn’t want to take a taxi back to the hotel, so we enjoyed a long 2 hours walk back. We strolled through some quiet and very lively streets, while enjoying the sea breeze and awesome sunsets.

There are plenty of attractions and places to visit within easy reach of the hotel. If you are into museums, beaches, and night bars then this is a great central location.

Room Review

I was in a standard double room. The room itself is small, but I thought it was cozy and clean. I especially like how it was decorated with colorful dotted furniture in Tiffany blue shades. It gives a sense of a cute and funky boutique hotel. The sound insulation is surprisingly good for a hotel that is located along one of the busiest Da Nang roads. I didn’t hear a single car passing by after closing the windows.

One downside of the bathroom is the glass door. The toilet bowl is not completely isolated from the shower in this layout. So be careful when showering not to splash water on the bathroom floor.

Room Highlights:

• Air-conditioning
• Bed is very comfortable
• Good water pressure
• Windows that keep the traffic noise outside
• Delightful modern decor

Breakfast on Rooftop Terrace

Flora Hotel offers free breakfast on the rooftop terrace. There is not a huge variety of items, but you will get what you need to start your day, and I do mean start because you have a great view of the city from the terrace. So breakfast options were: eggs, toast, various kinds of noodles, and Vietnamese coffee.

Sitting on the balcony and drinking a hot cup of coffee while overlooking Da Nang’s city skyscrapers and the bay beyond was by far one of the highlights of my visit. I was lucky, it was raining, so the air was very cold, but very nice in the morning.

Who Is This Hotel For

This hotel is best for:

• Budget travelers who want to find a good deal in the city center
• Solo travelers and couples
• People staying for short term in Da Nang
• Those who like to walk to attractions
• Who like local style breakfast with a great view

Who Might Not Enjoy This Hotel

The hotel is very affordable, but there are still a few downsides. This might not be a hotel for you if you:

• Are traveling in a large family group or have a lot of luggage as the room is quite small
• Are not a fan of mixed toilet and shower bathrooms
• Are used to international buffet breakfasts

Getting to Flora Hotel

Address: Flora Hotel, 103 Nguyễn Văn Linh, Thanh Khê District, Hải Châu, Da Nang, Vietnam

Final Thoughts

For those who are visiting Da Nang, a very clean, conveniently located, and affordable hotel like this is difficult to beat. With the price around $30 USD per night, and breakfast included, you get access to most of the city’s main attractions, friendly and helpful staff, and a cozy breakfast corner on the rooftop terrace to start your day.

I would definitely consider Floral hotel for my future stay in Da Nang, especially if I want to take a city break or overnight stopover there. But if you choose to stay in Flora Hotel make sure to lower your expectations a bit with regards to the rooms and facilities.
