TL;DR
In Da Nang, hotel security deposits vary by property: travelers reported figures around 1 million VND per day or about US$400 for an 11-night stay. It is typically refunded at checkout if there is no damage or extra room charges.
Pullman Da Nang confirmed officially that the deposit is 1,000,000 VND per night, accepted only in Vietnamese dong (not USD); the reception can exchange currency up to a maximum of $200.
According to the newest report, one Da Nang hotel may ask for a deposit of about 1,000,000 VND per day. For longer stays, it is best to confirm this directly with the hotel, since the total becomes significant over a week or more.
One reported resort property asked for a US$400 deposit for an 11-night stay on top of the package price. This suggests that in Da Nang, deposits can be substantial rather than nominal, especially at resort hotels.
For Prince Hotel Da Nang, travelers specifically wanted to know both the deposit amount for 11 nights and how the refund works. The practical takeaway is to ask every Da Nang hotel two things before arrival: the exact deposit amount and whether it is returned immediately at checkout if the room is fine.
