The Memory – Danang in review

It’s time to walk you through the doors of the best hostel Da Nang has to offer.

Let’s say hi to the staff, marvel at the skylight and wander up to see your very own stone bathtub.

The design will make your jaw drop.

There’s no time to waste. The Memory – Danang is a 5 Star Hostel in Da Nang, Vietnam because…

1. Sustainability with Da Nang in mind

Have a look around and witness the inspiration built on local handicraft villages.

It’s a wonderful example of a hostel honoring the diligence and craftsmanship of Vietnamese artisans.

The Memory support villages such as Hot Hai (grind stone village), Kim Bong (wood village), Non Nuoc (marble village) and Thanh Ha (pottery village).

These sustainable materials used around the building truly reflect traditional culture of Da Nang and wider areas of Vietnam.

Superb!

Also, the open green space of the hostel allow for natural wind from the sea to flow through.

That brings in a natural cooling (supported by tiled and stone walls) and avoids the heavy use of air-conditioning.

2. Nature-Inspired Design

Honestly, resting in a place with lungs full of fresh air is something to get excited about.

No matter where you decide to stand in The Memory, the design of the place will knock your socks off.

Every room lets in natural light along with a fresh breeze.

That’s why there happens to be so many lush plants and trees around the place — they thrive here!

Old-fashioned handmade tiles cover most of the rounded walls and really add a warming contrast to the greenery.

Tip: look out over the balcony of any private room for an awesome perspective of the hostel.

Beautiful stone bathrooms include a deep bath tub under a waterfall shower.

Yes please.

We love the cosy dorm rooms of 4, 6 and 8-beds. For that added privacy just draw your curtain and enjoy the shelf space with plug included.
