This is the start of the apartment series. Don’t forget to subscribe. www.youtube.com/@socialsamy?sub_confirmation=1 I will review all options with all budgets in upcoming apartment reviews. But let me know would you stay here ?
my Opinion on the first one: it is expensive bc I compare always the average income and the cost of living of the region and around 900 USD is over the Edge... Yes it looks nice and it seems the Quality is pretty good but at the end of the day it just a room. If you rent a apartment you can hire someone to clean and I would bet its below 900 USD. I would say living in Da Nang shouldn't cost around 200 -500 USD per month for an apartment, depends on your needs... Do you agree?
Love your You tube videos Samy. You do an awesome job with great presentation and informative details. Would like to see a video on expat community, with even some interviews. What day to day life looks like for middle aged retirees in Danang. Even covering medical insurance plans retirees can purchase in Vietnam and their details Thanks, keep up the good work and enjoy your getaway to Thailand 😊
the next video will be a video about a hospital and the procedure of me getting blood count done. The video after will be pros and cons interviewing 16 people :) (still editing this one) Very good point I will do my research on those topics!
There are no retirement visas for anyone in Vietnam! Medical insurance? Stay home if you are worried, you can handle most things in Vietnam out-of-pocket.
Haha 🙏 Yeah I don’t get it tho but it’s highly requested and it’s always fully booked both places. But I will cover all from super cheap to the expensive and between
@@socialsamy that’s strange really. I would assume the place targets foreigners specifically. And I guess many well off foreigners don’t really compare prices that much.
Hey Samy! Love your vids, very detailed and entertaining. Will you be able to review Estrella Boutique Hotel as well as the GunP Barbershop? Appreciate you!
Thats funny I just talked with my friend Kenny about it he stayed there and told me to make a review there! Yes I will! Stay tuned! For GunP I have him on this video th-cam.com/video/op5KSt4BNQA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WXIRyKsrRQmkv8oE
Great video. Thanks. Like most people I think the high budget is not why most people come to Vietnam / Danang. I'm not even sure how most people would be climbing into that bathtub / ice bath thing every day in the second apartment block - looked dangerous! 😀
Sammy you’re killing me. 😂 Let’s get back to apartments from $200-500 max. You never go across the river for apartments. I’m sure they’re way less expensive.
Don’t worry I cover all price points. Those were the most requested ones :) so I started with them. Oh check my last videos I’m often there, but yes no hotel or apartment tours yet. Coming soon! Price wise you can get cheap apartments everywhere you don’t need to leave the beach area.
Both too expensive, even though the first had nice decor and second had nice pool. I bet you didnt like those glass separators between bedroom and living room 😊 Thanks for a great video, looking forward to more! 🙏
Still haven’t seen any apartments/condos in Vietnam with Bangkok level of quality and finish.. even the 1k+ usd a month apartments in Vietnam pale in comparison to the 600 usd condos in Bangkok. Hope the quality/price ratio improves in the future 👏🏻
Yes Da Nang is not comparable but that’s normal 1/10 of bkk and it’s basically a small beach city. I saw very Bangkok like condos myself (friends) in Saigon. But then if you want the best value you should go to Kuala Lumpur
Hi :) more optimus for families to rent please :) and maby some video about what treenages can do in Da Nang I ‚ll be realy gratefull 🙏 Have a nice day Samy For you and your Girfrien ❤
Funny enough my German eyes read it all like you meant it 😂 I know that I have the same if I have German keyboard on :) Ok I will work on that video and do some research!
I stayed in eco green which you could see from first hotel. Stayed for a few nights initially and ending up booking 30 more nights. Has small standing room balcony and sea view. It's simple but cosy imo in a good location if you want a hotel experience (no kitchen etc) + with a 30 day booking discount (book direct) it cost around 411k per night / just under $17 without breakfast option. Staff are super friendly and it has cafe downstairs which has quality food but higher price than avg. Aircon was silent. Occasional noise from grand sea view hotel but mostly fine. I saw you drinking coffee one time close to there and I really regret not saying hello, I wasn't feeling social, next time I will. And I'll be looking for an apartment.
I was thinking about staying at Taiyo Apartment for a while, to give it a try. It seems new and modern which I like. But maybe there are other modern apartments with better prices in the area?
I think for daily hotel usage, the price isn't bad for the first hotel. But long term, it is somewhat expensive and I could find better value elsewhere for long term than that first one
@@fettzbetzslotchannel4499 yup but guess what they only had one room available to show. I did only see Korean guests inside tho maybe they just willing to pay more :)
@@socialsamy I was born in Saigon in 1970 (yes I am old) and I came to the U.S. when I was 6 months old and have never been back, so now its time to come visit and consider retiring and moving there so I will scout it out.
Hallo Samy, wir waren schon im Livie. Es ist sehr schön, aber für den Preis zu Teuer und Ohne Frühstück. Das bekomme ich in An Thuong viel günstiger. Was auch nicht sehr schön ist, direkt am Livie wird gebaut, da fangen die um 7 Uhr am Morgen an zu Malochen.
@@indochinamicha ja das mit dem Lärm ist immer so ne Sache man weis nie wann die irgendwo anfangen das apartment building daneben das sie gebaut haben ist aber fertig jetzt :))
@@mememe1111-n9g they don’t have this closed street nightmarket anymore. They stopped having the walking street tho. But I think it’s still noisy from there
Sending out your laundry in Vietnam is so cheap why bother doing it yourself, very few have dryers. I think king sized beds are a waste of space in these small rooms, and hey I want my woman close to me, a double or queen bed is fine. Nice apartments good video, but if I could afford those prices I might choose another destination!
When I was alone I also did that but with two it can be annoying carrying the cloths to the laundry mat all time and bed sheets etc. Yup I think it’s just too small for the price.
Der Schuppen ist ja teurer als viele schönere Hotels 🤔 Ich finde das sind total unrealistische Preise. Selbst bei Airbnb, was ja als eher teuer gilt, findet man genügend stylische Unterkünfte für ca 350 bis 450 Euro pro Monat.
Thank you Sammy for documenting the high end apartments. Yes they are expensive but I guess since it’s in the tourist zone. I saw another TH-camr showing a living space for 600$. I am sure the information he provided is wrong Hope to see some budget friendly places to live on a monthly budget Thanks again for the information Here is that link th-cam.com/video/tW2GTEPGwak/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kWF-fAVSiCHykjNv
I will cover all prices segments. I started with those because I read these places in my comments :) It’s actually true sometimes those apartments in the video are in that price segments. Really depends on each condo. Some friends stayed there they said it’s outdated. I will however definitely check it out and get you a non bias review. Places in that area are always cheaper :)
Thanks Sammy The beauty of your videos are “it’s on the point” short sweet and gives all the valuable information. (One stop shop 😅 ) Keep up the great work
These places are really nice and new so people can expect to pay a few hundred dollars more. Yes there are much cheaper places but than again lessor quality. I would be interested in really nice river view quiet area and willing to pay. Thank you for taking the time to share these videos.
@@Calichris2 I don’t think so they really don’t care. The short term is the bread winner for them I believe. Before they were finished I had a tour there with my friend who wanted to move there maybe. They asked for 14m VND so they now raised the price now 😃

100% agree with you. You could rent a room and buy all new custom furniture hire a person to clean and be cheaper in the long run

Interesting maybe I should include that to a review as well soon!

It’s tough to find modern in this area due to high demand but I will cover them all!
@@socialsamy Thanks Samy. Enjoy your travels
@@swearworks thank you I arrived yesterday but I wanna be back already 😭
Went to Da Nang last Dec, we are back in Nov as I fell in love with it, Liebe Gruesse an DAD..
Awesome! You should try out March that’s the best month 😍
Liebe Grüße zurück
For those prices, I'll just stay in America :D
😂😂😂
Thanks a lot, i think they are a bit pricey
I think so too :)
Very nice place but way over priced. Thanks Samy!
I think it would make more sense if it’s at least double the size :)
I think for daily hotel usage, the price isn't bad for the first hotel. But long term, it is somewhat expensive and I could find better value elsewhere for long term than that first one
Yup I felt the same it’s a nice hotel but less of a long term thing
The second hotel is definitely overpriced and is not as modernized as the first one
@@fettzbetzslotchannel4499 yup but guess what they only had one room available to show. I did only see Korean guests inside tho maybe they just willing to pay more :)

DJ Khaled reviewing apartments in Da Nang. Love it!
Another one 🥹
I got the 🔑 🔑 🔑
Do these hotels require that you leave your passport with them as a deposit or collateral?
No they make a photo or scan your passport. If you book without agoda they might take a deposit
For 20 million vnd per month can get better in Da Nang
I think so too yet this place is very very popular 😃
Tayo was my first hotel in DN. Stayed for a month. Lovely BUT the night market downstairs and few bars around made it impossible to sleep 😢
@@mememe1111-n9g they don’t have this closed street nightmarket anymore. They stopped having the walking street tho. But I think it’s still noisy from there

Ja ich verstehe es auch nicht. Aber beide Schuppen sind sehr sehr beliebt. Und kenne sogar deutsche die in beiden gewohnt haben🤷♂️
Jesus that's expensive
Yup but still very popular :)
Wow way too overpriced you can rent a large house with this budget!
Yup for one of those room even a pool villa
Thank you Sammy for documenting the high end apartments.
Yes they are expensive but I guess since it’s in the tourist zone.

@@Paul-rx6wz appreciate that Paul thank you 🙏
neither of these first two should be above 10 million.
Yeah I feel like they are both more like hotels. But people actually life
There long term aswell
Thanks Samy, another informative vid.
Both overpriced imho.
Always look forward to your videos mate 💯👍🇦🇺
@@XPATJAK thank you mate 🙏 yeah too small for this price
These places are really nice and new so people can expect to pay a few hundred dollars more. Yes there are much cheaper places but than again lessor quality.
I would be interested in really nice river view quiet area and willing to pay.
Thank you for taking the time to share these videos.
Yes the build quality is great but for both I feel the space is way to small it’s all cramped up that would be my deal breaker for long term.
Too expensive.
Yesss! Stay tuned the next ones will be better value but I will also show all price points in my videos
Too expensive. Not really value for money.
Stay tuned I’ll review more with better value soon !
Seems overpriced, some of those rooms are fake apartments with glass dividers not actually rooms.
Exactly fake 1br - studios with a glass door I talk about that in my Q&A video how so many places do that
@@socialsamy do you think you could negotiate a better price?
@@Calichris2 I don’t think so they really don’t care.
The short term is the bread winner for them I believe.
Before they were finished I had a tour there with my friend who wanted to move there maybe.
They asked for 14m VND so they now raised the price now 😃
@@socialsamy can’t hurt to try if you’re staying long term 👍
@@Calichris2 I asked she said no :)
It's not the price that counts...
It's the presentation !
Of course we know it's expensive... thanks to Samy.
Of course we know it's expensive... thanks to Samy... What a weird comment! 😒
