TL;DR

For a longer stay with cafés, shops and city life, base yourself in Da Nang: Hoi An is around 40–50 minutes away. A budget accommodation option in Da Nang is Bibi’s Home at 55 Lưu Quý Kỳ, Hòa Cường.

If you want nightlife and everyday convenience, stay in Da Nang and visit Hoi An as a day trip. The journey between the two typically takes 40–50 minutes by taxi or motorbike, while Da Nang has more services for a longer stay.

Check the immediate neighborhood, not just the hotel itself. A practical location has spas, mini-marts, fruit stalls and cafés within walking distance; some more isolated hotel zones, such as around Nam An, can be dominated by construction.
