@joewilke3092 I like the monalisa also. I stayed there a few times. I just uploaded a new hotel video earlier today. The budget is a little higher but there is some good choices. Check out this video if you get a chance. ua-cam.com/video/ETdcGr4UA9A/v-deo.htmlsi=djOGWPmyziMX2Ukh
Wow. I really, really appreciate the words. I honestly try as hard as I can to give th most detailed, helpful I fo I can. Once again thanks a bunch. 👍👍
I love your hotel reviews. Did you work at a hotel before starting youtube? :) Cause you’re a professional & very detailed at covering all aspects. It’d be good to know if these short term weekly/monthly stays require big security deposits. Overall, excellent job! 👍👍 Looking forward to more videos~
Appreciate the compliment. But no I've never worked at a hotel in my life. I guess maybe I've stayed at a lot of places before and I know what to look for. Or at least what's important to me to look for when checking out a hotel. More videos will be coming out shortly. 👍
There is tons and tons of choices here just in this neighborhood alone. I think I'm going to do a couple more similar videos like this at different price points.
Great video, I love your apartment reviews! Do you know if price are different in February/March, if not could you ask them next time you do apartment reviews so we can have an idea? Thanks!
Prices definitely go up once you get past the rainy season. Currently right now (September until January) Is the official rainy season. January is Vietnamese New Year and the weather starts clearing up also during that time. So prices will go up. But the city of Da Nang is very affordable either way. There's lots of apartments located in the same complex that I'm in. But they all have different owners. I found mine through posting an ad on Facebook expat group which I find to be the best way to find apartment rentals.
Appreciate the compliment. I have stayed in Monalisa before. The others I haven't stayed in personally. But they're all great value especially between $10 and $20
@@teacherrichard2081 Thanks I appreciate it. This was just a few of the many many hotels in this area. If I get enough interest I will go check out a little bit more luxurious hotels as well.
@@Willtravelz Will, please do a video on opening a bank account in Nam. I was told by an ex-pat that only a passport and phone number is needed for Sacombank but the hotel called them and 3 others and they all said I need a one-year visa (which is a residency visa?) Tired of conflicting information. Someone needs to set the rules in stone. It will be a very popular vid cos all the others on YT are very old and out of date. TY
just wanted to mention how to fool proof keeping ur valuables safe. when using a safe at the apartment/hotel always use a locked bag inside the safe.Dont just put your cash in a la natural. have a special bag withers own lock that u put in the safe. that way you will not get fleeced.
Thanks, Will. I will definitely check out the Mona Lisa on my next trip to DaNang. I stayed in a different place last time that cost more and was not as nice.
I've stayed at the first one in the one bedroom and the studio that's why I really wanted to show you guys that one since I personally stayed there before.
@@DanielAdisi-ps6wq you read my mind very soon I'm going to do a more higher Budget hotel. So be on the lookout for that that's probably going to be my next hotel style video. 👍👍
Pandora included electricity. And when I checked the price in agoda I believe it was slightly cheaper than in person price. Agoda had it at $14 a night.
Great Video. I am looking for a place for longer time (1 or 2 months). At the moment i am in Charming Beauty Hotel, very nice! But prices are going to increase next month haha😃
Great vid. Gets me going in the right direction. Will be booking a consult after I narrow down a few others I've been looking at for a comparison. Still need that "Coming to Da Nang" checklist though to make sure I don't leave anything important at home.😂
I'm trying to work around the clock. The channel and all the editing has me racing around the clock. 🤣 I'm actually going to try to get out a new video very shortly about a little more higher priced hotels also.
@@Willtravelz yeah keep putting in that work. It's paying off already even though it's not where you need it to be. Get more of these vids out regularly and you'll see the fruits of your labor start to compound even more. Look where you were a month ago and where you're at now. Subs and views start to increase much more the bigger you get. Will be booking my flight tonight. I'm so close I can taste Bahn Mis right now.
I think you can kind of see on the one video where the construction was outside down the road a bit, when I shut the door a lot of the noise disappeared. So I think as long as you make sure there's no construction outside your building a really close by you should be good.
Thanks for your video, I will definitely take a closer look at Mona Lisa Apartments when I return to Da Nang for 5 weeks next summer! I'm curious when you say that you prefer an Asian style bathroom. Don't you get annoyed that everything gets wet when you take a shower?
@@laussrensen4541 I live in an apartment. So for me I don't have a house cleaner. So for myself personally I enjoy the Asian style shower when I live in an apartment.
@@Willtravelz Since this wil bee kind of a holiday with only a few hours work every day, I would prefer a weekly cleaning. BTW. I would very much like to stay in the building you live in, since there's a chance of getting an apartment on a high floor, and also the building has shops, cafés etc. Where would I have to look for that?
@@laussrensen4541 I found this apartment going through Facebook expats danang group. I made a post saying I wanted to rent here with my requirements my price and my dates. Once you post that landlords and owners will usually message you and then set up times to come check it out. I'm lucky I've been dealing with the same landlord for on and off the past year.
@@Travelistul The rainy season which is right now is usually the cheapest time. The rainy season ends right around January and that's when prices start to pick up. Especially because that's near Vietnamese New Year.
Electricity overall is pretty cheap here. For example I have a two bedroom two bathroom apartment and I pay roughly $50 to no more than $70 a month. And that's with one air conditioner going on 24 hours a day. So I would roughly assume probably around $50 for a smaller hotel size per month.
I stayed in Pandora a few months ok, it was pretty good. I'm surprised you didn't consider the Grand Sea View hotel, I stayed there for 6 weeks, probably the best hotel I've stayed in so far. My next hotel is called Yen Ve, I'm staying there for 28 nights soon, just over 5 million vnd.
I had a huge list of places the problem is the video would have probably been 2 hours long. 🤣 I will be doing a couple more hotel videos in the near future. I've actually stayed at yen ve. I stayed at the balcony one bedroom at yen ve. It was my first ever hotel that I stayed at here danang last year.
Pretty much all of them had it. I was at Mona Lisa the first one before and that's included. The rest I either asked on or off camera. But it's pretty standard here in Da Nang.
@@eicisback it's called kin kin. But they just moved about 15 minutes away walking distance. Also they have a second restaurant that's across the river also.
Here is how I would rank the 4 hotels.
1) Monalisa hotel and apartment
2) Amunra Ocean Hotel
3)Sea Swan Apartment and hotel
4) Pandora Boutique Hotel
🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@risk2reward189 thank you. Big thumbs up to you. Appreciate it.

I like the sea swan for the balcony monalisa doesn’t have one for that price
You are better at detailing hotels than most I have seen. Will be visiting Da Nang for 3 months in March 2025. Thanks for that info.
Wow. I really, really appreciate the words. I honestly try as hard as I can to give th most detailed, helpful I fo I can. Once again thanks a bunch. 👍👍
Oh.. I stayed at Mona Lisa. I had the studio apt. It was 👍 really perfect. We paid 17 dollars a night for it.
They actually had the one bedroom available when I went there and did the video shockingly.

Thanks for the video. Fun to know the prices
Yes it's definitely helpful to know what you should be paying before you get here. It gives you a good idea of what you can get for your budget.
Fantastic video showcasing some great options! Would definitely like to see the luxury hotels as well at some point. 👍
What's up Leo. I'm definitely going to do the pricier hotels in the very near future keep an eye out for them.
Thank you Will, great information. Im planning a visit for next year. Your videos are very helpful.

Thanks for watching.
Thanx mate, coming over March next year, very helpful, what is that app you are using for exchange rate?
looks a better one than I use
It's called currency plus. Should be on playstore.

I've stayed at the Mona Lisa before a few times. It's definitely a good place to stay especially at that price.

@@camarados yea even though da nang is very cheap it seems prices are starting to go up.
@@Willtravelz yes its still cheap ofcourse. But you always want the best deal for your money :)
@camarados 100 percent I agree with you. Exactly why I'm debating about moving out of my 2 bedroom to a 1 bedroom.
Good! You should review this hotel where I am now, it's good for the price. But no deals for long term
@camarados that's the downside most people I know what long-term deals. Is it in thuong neighborhood? What is the price per day?
Hope you can ask. About weekly rent too please ?
Pretty sure weekly rent would just be multiplied by 7. But maybe a slightly better deal.

@@Willtravelz nice…wondering if in January prices will go up?!?
@@Travelistul The rainy season which is right now is usually the cheapest time. The rainy season ends right around January and that's when prices start to pick up. Especially because that's near Vietnamese New Year.
If you just want too book a day while I apartment search do I have to pay the $50 usd deposit like any other hotel in the US?
I don't think so but I'm not sure. If you book it on agoda I haven't really been asked to pay a deposit in most situations.
You'd be hard pressed to find a clothes washer in a hotel in the US. Props.
@@KabobHope true true.
Indoor pool is good in the rainy weather okay 👍
Value for money ❤
Yep definitely. 👍
A balcony is a must, the 3rd hotel apartment is the best
I love balconies too. Almost all the places I stay and I always try to get a balcony.
In USD how much do you think the electricity bill would be Will?
Electricity overall is pretty cheap here. For example I have a two bedroom two bathroom apartment and I pay roughly $50 to no more than $70 a month. And that's with one air conditioner going on 24 hours a day. So I would roughly assume probably around $50 for a smaller hotel size per month.
Do you trust the safes ?
Probably. I never use them. But I woupd probably use them if I had to. But necessarily wouldn't make a point to use them.
Can't wait to move in December ! Goodbye NYC
It will be a big price difference for sure.
