The Worst Hotel Experience - Valencia Hotel Da Nang Beach Hotel
General Spaces
Valencia Hotel Da Nang Beach Hotel is, without a doubt, the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Let’s start with the general spaces. The elevator looks like it hasn’t been maintained since it was installed 20 years ago. It’s covered in scratches, rust, and spilled liquids. The hotel has a corridor-style floor plan, with some areas having windows and others completely lacking them. The corridors are dimly lit (I have no idea how it will look on night), except for the far ends where windows are present. However, the windows offer a view of a garbage dump, which is far from pleasant.
The corridors themselves are extremely narrow, barely allowing a single adult man with one suitcase to pass through. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo of the room lock, but it looked just as worn-out as the metal plates on the corridor floors.
The Room
Moving on to the personal space—the room itself. My room had a window, but it opened into the corridor where everyone passes by, offering zero privacy. The walls were paper-thin, and I could hear every conversation happening in the hallway.
Everything in the room was as worn-out as the elevator, from the kettle to the bed. Scratches and scuffs were everywhere. The cleaning was superficial at best; it seemed like the floors were mopped once, and that was it. Everything else was dirty. The fridge and trash bin were filthy, as shown in the photos. The toilet was even worse—there were remnants of the previous guest’s waste, which is simply unacceptable. It’s shocking that the staff doesn’t perform basic checks.
The bed was extremely hard and creaked loudly with every movement. The only redeeming feature was the bed linen, which appeared clean. However, I suspect this is only because the hotel primarily caters to local couples looking for short-term stays.
Additional Issues
Don’t be stingy like I was—pay a little extra and stay in a proper hotel with decent conditions.
The entire booking process felt like a scam. Upon arrival, I was asked to pay an additional from platform fee equal to the booking price, which was a complete surprise. The photos on booking platforms are nothing but designer renderings. In reality, everything looks completely different. If you want to cancel your stay, you’ll have to pay the same amount again, and you won’t get a single penny refunded.
#### Final Decision
After spending just 2-3 hours in this hotel, I couldn’t bear it any longer. I immediately searched for and booked a proper hotel with decent conditions and left Valencia Hotel as soon as possible.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, this hotel is a complete scam and a nightmare to stay in. Save yourself the trouble and book a better place. Valencia Hotel Da Nang Beach Hotel is a prime example of how deceptive marketing can ruin a traveler’s experience. Avoid it at all costs.
