TL;DR
Hotels in Nha Trang typically collect a $50 cash deposit at check-in as a hold for minibar items (water, snacks). If nothing is used, the full amount is refunded at checkout.
The $50 deposit is not part of the room rate — it only covers minibar consumption, not other in-room food orders.
You can use the deposit partially — staff track consumed minibar items on a paper checklist and deduct the amount when you check out.
At check-in, one hotel collected a $50 cash deposit specifically for the minibar (e.g., 2 types of cookies and water). If nothing is consumed, the full amount is refunded at checkout.
