RHM Hotel Da Nang: Your Dream Vietnamese Getaway Awaits!
RHM Hotel Da Nang: My (Slightly Disorganized, Utterly Honest) Vietnamese Dream – Or Was It?
Okay, so Da Nang. Vietnam. Picture it: sunshine, beaches, food that makes your tastebuds sing. And the RHM Hotel Da Nang? Well, that's where the adventure begins, or at least, where it's supposed to begin. Let's dive in, shall we? Buckle up; it's going to be a ride.
First Impressions & Accessibility (Or Lack Thereof, Sometimes):
Right off the bat, let’s be real: I'm not a "wheelchair user," so my "accessibility" experience is… limited. But I did notice the elevator (Elevator), which is HUGE, even if it felt like it was from a slightly older movie. They do claim to have "Facilities for disabled guests," so I'm hoping they've got ramps and the works – important for anyone who does need it. Someone tell me in the comments!
Getting Connected & Staying Connected:
Wi-Fi in all rooms! Awesome. And it is free, which is always a win. I’m a digital nomad at heart, so the free Internet Access and Free Wi-Fi in the rooms are crucial. I need to stay online, you know? I had to check my emails. The Internet [LAN] option is also super nice, although I only tested the Wi-Fi. The connection was decent, which kept me from losing my mind while uploading photos of sunsets.
Cleanliness & COVID-Era Concerns:
Listen, I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I was obsessed with cleanliness during my trip. Good news: The RHM Hotel Da Nang seems to take it seriously – Hand sanitizer everywhere, and I saw the staff disinfecting stuff. The Daily disinfection in common areas and Rooms sanitized between stays are reassuring. I also noticed they use Anti-viral cleaning products, and the presence of a Doctor/nurse on call is a plus for peace of mind. But here's the thing: I really wanted to see them use the Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. I missed seeing this in action, but I hope it's true.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Oh My! (And My Stomach):
Okay, food is paramount. My stomach is a demanding master. Let's start with breakfast. They tout Breakfast [buffet]. I love a buffet – but here's the thing: sometimes they can feel so… massive you don't know where to start. I opted for the Asian breakfast, and the phở was divine. Honestly, I dreamt about the pho. Absolutely incredible. The Asian cuisine in restaurant seems legit and available. I also tried the Western breakfast one morning and found the eggs a little… bland. They do offer Alternative meal arrangement, which is good for picky eaters like, well, me sometimes. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was always good, and I appreciated the option of a Bottle of water.
The Restaurant, Bar, Poolside bar & Coffee shop are all great. I was desperate for a snack one afternoon and headed to the Snack bar. The spring rolls were PERFECT.
Ways to Relax (And Maybe Regret):
This is where things get… interesting. I'm not a huge "spa person," but the Spa sounded amazing… and Body scrub and Body wrap options tempted me. I ended up going for the Massage. It was… intense. Let's just say the masseuse had strong hands. Afterward, I felt like I'd been run over by a truck. Not a gentle, relaxing truck. A very firm truck. But, I guess it worked? The Sauna sounded super tempting, but I was too chicken. They have a Swimming pool (outdoor) that looked perfect for a dip, but I was never in the mood.
Things to Do & See (Beyond My Hotel Room):
The RHM Hotel Da Nang acts as a base for exploring! Things to do, like visiting the Marble Mountains or Hai Van Pass, are very close. The hotel’s got a Concierge which helps!
Services & Conveniences - The Nitty Gritty:
Okay, so, the Front desk [24-hour] is clutch. Especially when jet lag hits you at 3 AM. They have the essentials: Laundry service & Dry cleaning, Currency exchange, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes. The Car park [free of charge] is always a bonus, and the Air conditioning in public area & Air conditioning in your room? Essential in Vietnam.
My Room - A Tale of Two Halves:
My room… Let's break it down. Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobe, bathtub, black-out curtains, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box, internet access – wireless, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar, mirror, non-smoking, private bathroom, refrigerator, safety/security feature, satellite/cable channels, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, smoke detector, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, wake-up service, and Wi-Fi [free]. Phew! Okay, where do I start? The Blackout curtains were a lifesaver. I loved waking up in complete darkness and the separate shower/bathtub was great. The Mini bar was tempting, but I was sticking to the free bottled water. On-demand movies – I never had the chance to enjoy it. The Sofa was good for crashing on, and the desk was fine for working.
The Bed? AMAZING. The Extra long bed was a gift from the gods!
The Imperfections (Because Life Isn't Perfect):
Okay, here's where I get real. The hotel isn't perfect. The design is a bit… generic. It lacks a certain 'wow' factor. And, there were a few tiny hiccups, like a sluggish elevator one morning, but nothing a few minutes of waiting couldn't fix.
The Quirky Observations:
- The sheer variety of breakfast options was overwhelming, like a buffet explosion.
- The staff spoke English, but they occasionally got lost in translation, which led to some funny moments.
- The view from my window? Mostly other buildings.
- Never assume the hotel is close to the beach! Always check the distance before you arrive.
Who is RHM Hotel Danang Best For?:
- For those who value cleanliness,
- For those who want a good (and free) Wi-Fi connection,
- For those who want a convenient place to explore Da Nang,
- For those who would be happy with the basics and a clean setup.
My Conclusion (With a Side of FOMO):
Overall? RHM Hotel Da Nang is a solid choice. It’s not the most stylish place I’ve ever stayed, but it’s comfortable, clean, and well-located. It offers a good base for exploring the city. If things like "personality" and "luxury" are high on your list? Might not be your first pick, but if you're like me -- you want a good, clean place to crash at, then it's worth it.
And now, my (slightly desperate) call to action…
STOP SCROLLING!

Kolkata's Hidden Gem: Hotel O New Silver Inn - Unbeatable Luxury!Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly-clipped, beige-toned travel itinerary. We're going to the RHM Hotel in Da Nang, Vietnam, and trust me, it's going to get real. Think of this as a chaotic love letter to travel, with all the smudges, coffee stains, and moments of pure, unadulterated joy included.
RHM Hotel Da Nang: A Messy, Magnificent Adventure
Day 1: Arrival & Jet Lagged Delirium
- 14:00 - Arrival at Da Nang International Airport (DAD). The plane landed and immediately I got that all-too-familiar mix of excitement and "oh dear god, did I pack enough snacks?" panic. Immigration was surprisingly smooth, which, knowing my luck, means I'm probably jinxing myself for later.
- 14:45 - Pre-Arranged transfer to RHM Hotel. Uber or Grab, can't remember! (Note to self: write things down immediately next time, brain-fog is a cruel mistess) The hotel looked good from the photos, or maybe the exhaustion.
- 15:30 - Check-in Disaster (and minor victory!): Ah, the front desk! A smile, a welcome drink (delicious!), and then… the room key. Nope. Didn't work. Twice. Third time's the charm! The room: decent, a bit more 'functional' than 'fabulous'. But the view… oh, the view. Beach and city, a glorious mess of color. And then I collapsed onto the bed.
- 16:00 - Nap Attempt #1 (Failed): Okay, jet lag is real. One wrong move, and I'm face-first in the pillow. I tried to sleep… I swear I did! But my brain was a washing machine on spin cycle. Frustration!
- 17:00 - Forced Exploratory Walk: Okay, must go in the world and get food (the first rule of jetlag), so out I go, despite the internal struggle to crawl back in bed. The streets burst with traffic and scooters, the smell of street food (that I must try!) in the air, and little kids laughing. This is why I travel.
- 18:00 - First Mango Sticky Rice: I stumble upon a tiny street-side stall and order mango sticky rice. The taste is like pure, concentrated sunshine. Maybe I spoke Vietnamese (I did not). Maybe the food whispered in my soul. All I know is that I ate every single grain.
- 19:00 - Dinner & Early Night: A small restaurant down the road, the owner's daughter kept laughing while I asked for the menu, even with the help of google translate. Still, it made me grin. I had… something. I think it was chicken and rice. Whatever it was, it felt like pure joy after the day's travel. And then, lights out! (Before 21:00, it was a miracle!).
Day 2: Beach Bliss & Motorcycle Mayhem
- 07:00 - Sunrise Interrupted: I woke up early, damn jet lag! And I was greeted with an incredible sunrise painting the sky. I spent what felt like an eternity just staring.
- 08:00 - Breakfast Struggle: The hotel buffet was…adequate. The coffee, though, was strong enough to revive the dead.
- 09:00 - Beach Time (The Good Part): My Khe beach! Soft sand, warm water, waves that roll in and don't remind me of the ocean back home (where the water is freezing! Why do people like it?). I spent a long time there, and ended up getting a little too much sun.
- 12:00 - Lunch & Beach Hangover: I stumbled back to the hotel for lunch (and to avoid further sunburn). The restaurant was so busy, so I ended up with another plate of that chicken and rice thing.
- 14:00 - Motorcycle Hire (The Bad Part): So me and my friend, we rented a motorbike. Great plan, yes? NO. I am a terrible driver. I almost ran over a dog. I may have taken a detour through a small group of kids. It was a near death experience. I would have rather stayed at the beach.
- 15:00 - Marble Mountain (And Regret): We drove to Marble Mountain. It was beautiful, yes. But stairs. So. Many. Stairs. I was definitely not prepared, and I’m pretty sure I cursed under my breath more than once.
- 17:00 - Motorcycle Return & Existential Crisis: I barely made it back in one piece.
- 18:00 - Massage (Savior): After all that stress, a massage was essential. My masseuse worked miracles.
- 20:00 - Street Food Fiesta: I don’t remember what I ordered, but I ate it. And it was glorious.
Day 3: Culture, Chaos & Conclusion (Sooner Than You Think!)
- 08:00 - Hoi An Bound: Today, we are off to Hoi An. The hotel arranged a car and driver. I could not go through another day on that death machine.
- 09:00 - Road Trip Antics: The drive was bumpy, like the road was trying to shake us off.
- 10:00 - Hoi An Ancient Town: Hoi An is beautiful. Colourful lanterns, tailor shops, and the smell of a hundred different spices. I want to buy everything.
- 12:00 - Lunch in Hoi An: I'm pretty sure I had a bĂ¡nh mì. It was so good.
- 13:00 - Tailoring Debacle: The tailor shops. So many tailor shops. And the pressure to buy a suit. I am bad at this. But I got a shirt, at least.
- 15:00 - Back to Da Nang: The drive back was silent. I was exhausted.
- 16:00 - Hotel Relaxation: Time to prepare for the flight home.
- 17:00 - Last Sunset:
- 18:00 - Dinner & Packing Meltdown: Packing is the worst.
- 20:00 - Goodbye, Vietnam: Airport, flight, a mix of sadness at leaving and pure relief to go home.
Final Thoughts:
Okay, so maybe this isn't the most polished travel plan. But that's the point, right? It's real. Messy. Unpredictable. And, for me, utterly unforgettable. Vietnam, and the RHM Hotel in Da Nang, you were amazing, even when I was exhausted. I'll be back. (Maybe I'll even learn how to ride a motorbike properly and then I get to visit the beach!)
