Golden Sea Hotel

Golden Sea Hotel is an average 3 star style hotel with good breakfast daily. The location is good location to enjoy both down town and China Sea public beach. They offer rental of motor bikes daily use. They also offer long stay term rates.

Location and room were okay. Front desk service was unpleasant. I booked at last minute. Clerk said sale staff was off due to holiday so couldn't check online system for my booking, ask asked repeatedly how much I paid Expedia for the room. I insisted on getting a room because I had paid. Clerk called sale staff then handed me the phone. Sale staff asked repeatedly how much I paid Expedia. After I said $35, sale staff said no standard room available, and I would need to be upgraded to a VIP room for an additional charge of $15! I said I was not happy. Sale staff said it was a discount. I didn't want to argue anymore and agreed to pay another $15 to end the negotiation. Clerks were pushy and not honest (people were off, system was closed due to holiday). It was 2PM on Sat. April 16, 2016.

From the outside it appeared to be more impressive but like other reviewers have mentioned, it is tired. The room is spacious and the cable has quite a few English speaking channels. The decor was dated however and the rooms were 'musty'. Breakfast offered quite a few options and the staff both in the restaurant and at the front desk were (for the most part) extremely helpful and pleasant. Myself and my husband ended up moving to another hotel as the bathroom had a very bad smell when we flushed the toilets or even used the sink. As well as that lingering musty smell that proved to be too much. Hope this helps

In the center of Danang city. Golden sea is hotel 3*. The hotel environment and the food was good. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. If you want a place to work and have a business trip, this is one of the best for sure.

Large and clean room, strong wifi. Not many choices for buffet breakfast but i think food is fresh and quite delicious . I stayed in October so the price is cheap. The location is a bit far from beach. But i think it's ok for a short trip or business trip.

Room excellent size, but hotel seemed to lack sparkle, location good to access beach and city by moped. Breakfast not good if you don't eat Vietnamese, although there was bread and a toaster. Housekeeping also pestered us to clean room early, when we were still in it!!!!!!!! Not a bad price but wouldnt stay again.......

Pro: The room is spacious and quite decent with good location in Danang (close to the beach). Friendly staff. Con: Dirty towels, the bathroom deserves some maintenance. This is the first time in my life that I saw a cockroach in a hotel room, on the sink, waving its antenna at me. Took the housekeeper more than 5 minutes to the room before she could chase it out and spray it to death.

Stayed at this hotel with family due to recommendation from a friend. Things were going okay until we went back to the hotel after a day at the beach on our second afternoon there and found ALL of our belongings at the front desk. Upon questioning, the staff informed us that we had booked 2 nights only. We argued that this was a mistake because we booked 3 days! This miscommunication and confusion aside, the staff was completely rude about it! My parents speak Vietnamese thankfully and said that instead of apologizing, the lady stated "you have too many things." Furthermore, the girls at the front desk smirked and laughed as we went through all of our things making sure our valuables (money, passport, etc.) were accounted for. Being from America, I understand that I grew up used to certain customer service and standards but this should be common courtesy and knowledge! I am warning ALL travelers... do NOT stay at this hotel. You will be treated poorly and your belongings are at risk!

Stayed here 3 nights in December 2012. Good location, ok area, close to the sea. On arrival I was taken to a room without external window - was told this was 'standard' room. Paid 70.- for 3 nights/1 person. The room was damp and dark. Had to pay to 'upgrade' to a room with window. Spacious and nice room. Reception service was the worst I've ever had (I travel quite a lot - different parts of the world). Her English was worse than my grandchildren's (7 & 8 -just started to learn English). Asked for a grocery shop (to buy water ..) and was directed to the beach. Ask for public bus to Hoi An and Hue. Was told it wasn't possible. Had to take a private car for an insane price. Asked which route the driver would take - she couldn't answer. Said the driver didn't know English, so I would need to take her with me as guide - she hardly knew English - so wouldn't help much. Decided to drop it. Upon walking into the city of Da Nang the next day it appeared there were an express bus leaving for Hoi An (also for Hue), which was a fraction of the price. On my return, I boarded a local bus, which was quite alright and cost next to nothing. Don't like people who deliberately lies to me, so for this reason I would never go back.

Good points: Location - on Pham Van Dong street which is jst minutes away from the beach and the city. The room was spacious as well as the bed. Everything was clean and tidy. There are motorbikes for 150,000vnd/24 hours. Bad points: The staff especially the receptionists were far from friendly. It seemed like they didn't like to talk and smile much to guests.
