Do hotels in Da Nang require a security deposit and can you avoid paying it?

The deposit can be avoided by paying for your stay upfront at check-in — hotels in Da Nang typically offer this option at the front desk.

Hotel security deposits in Da Nang are often charged specifically to cover the paid minibar in the room. Declining the minibar service means no deposit is required.

Deposit amounts can be substantial — around 1 million VND per night, which for a two-week stay adds up to roughly 13 million VND (approximately $500). Always clarify deposit terms before check-in.

If the deposit is paid in USD, the refund may be returned in Vietnamese dong. Clarify the refund currency at check-in to avoid scrambling to exchange money before your flight home.
