Escape to Paradise: OYO 1168 Elly's Home Awaits in Da Nang!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Da Nang dreamland that is Escape to Paradise: OYO 1168 Elly's Home Awaits. This isn't just a hotel review; it's a full-blown confession about my stay, warts and all. And trust me, I've got some thoughts. Let's get started!
First Impressions: The Arrival Shambles
Okay, let's be real. Finding this place was a quest. Da Nang traffic is a beast. But finally, we pull up to Elly's Home and… well, it's not the sprawling beachfront estate I'd conjured in my mind. It's more… cozy. And you know what? That's okay! It's clean, the exterior is welcoming, and there's a definite "homely" vibe.
Accessibility (with a Sigh)
This is where things get a little wonky. While not specified, and relying on my own observations, Elly's Home does have an Elevator. I didn't specifically look for wheelchair accessibility in the rooms or public areas, but the presence of one in the building suggests a potential level of accommodations. It is important to call the hotel to confirm the specifics.
The Rooms: Where the Magic (and the Minor Quirks) Happen
We opted for a non-smoking room – essential for this sensitive sniffer – and were greeted by… well, a perfectly decent room. Think clean lines, a comfy bed (yes, the 'extra long bed' description on the booking site is actually true!), and all the essentials. Air conditioning was a blessing in the Da Nang heat. The blackout curtains are a game-changer for sleep-ins and getting a good night's sleep. The free Wi-Fi blasted into every corner, and the in-room coffee/tea maker was a lifesaver, especially considering I'm a recovering zombie.
Now, for the quirks. The bathroom was a little… compact. And the shower, while functional, was more of a "gentle drizzle of optimism" than a power wash. Also, my partner couldn't find the hair dryer, and it took a little while of searching. But, hey, they provided slippers! Daily housekeeping was efficient and kept things tidy.
Internet Access & the Digital Life
The rooms are listed as having Wi-Fi [free] and Internet access – wireless. My laptop stayed connected from the start, and the connection never dropped and was perfect for all my work-related emails through Internet.
Cleanliness and Safety: Breathe Easy(ish)
Okay, let's delve into the serious stuff. Elly's Home seems to take cleaning seriously. It's reassuring, since the world is a little germ-conscious anymore. The presence of hand sanitizers, hand sanitizer, and the clear commitment to daily disinfection in common areas gave me a good feeling. They also have professional-grade sanitizing services. They are practicing Physical distancing of at least 1 meter. And also is good for the guests to be able to Room sanitization opt-out available.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food!
Let's get to the important stuff: food! Elly's Home has a restaurant, and it offers a variety of options. The buffet breakfast was decent – your usual continental stuff, with some Asian options thrown in (Asian breakfast). I'm not an early riser, and it always got me up and going. I can also order from Breakfast in room. There's also a Coffee shop for your caffeine fix and a Snack bar to get your munchies. Although I can't comment on the specialty restaurants, I can say I enjoyed the bottled water, and I can't wait to try out the Happy hour.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Chilling Out
Now, this is where Elly's Home really shines. They have a Swimming pool [outdoor]! And it's gorgeous. There's a Pool with view and the pool itself is clean; the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. I unfortunately did not make use of any of the other available activities, but I did hear about a Massage and Spa and Steamroom available for pampering.
Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easier
Okay, the little things that make a stay great. Elly's Home has a pretty impressive list of services. Daily housekeeping was punctual and unobtrusive. There's a Concierge on hand to tackle all your questions, and they also have 24-hour Front desk. You can avail yourself of Laundry service and Ironing service. They also have a Doorman to assist with any requests.
Getting Around: Mobility Adventures
Elly's Home offers Airport transfer – DO IT! It's worth its weight in gold to have someone navigate you through the Da Nang chaos. They also have Car park [free of charge] and Taxi service.
For the Kids: Family Friendly
While I didn't travel with children, the Family/child friendly rating is in full effect. There is a Babysitting service for the parents to have a chance to go out, and a Kids meal option in the restaurant.
The Verdict: Should You Escape to Elly's?
Okay, the honest truth? Elly's Home isn't perfect. It's got its quirks. But it's also charming. It's clean, comfortable, and the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. It’s a great base for a Da Nang adventure.
My Emotional Reaction (and this is where I get REAL)
On a scale of 1 to "I'm never leaving," I'd give Elly's Home a solid 8. The pool alone is worth it! And honestly, the little imperfections? They add to the charm. This place gives you a feeling of being cared for. It’s a great combination: a place that is clean and comfortable yet authentic and welcoming.

Electra Kefalonia: Your Dream Kefalonian Escape Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This is my attempt at a travel plan for a trip to Da Nang, Vietnam. Specifically, if I were staying at OYO 1168 Elly's Home 2. Don't expect things to be perfectly linear. This is gonna be as real as a bowl of pho in the middle of a heatwave.
Day 1: Landing, Luggage, and a Little Regret (Maybe?)
Morning (Arrive, Settle, and Sigh):
- 7:00 AM: Arrived at Da Nang International Airport. The humidity hits you like a warm, sweaty hug. I forgot my deodorant. Great.
- 7:45 AM: Taxi ride to OYO 1168 Elly's Home 2. Crossing my fingers it's clean. My biggest fear: bedbugs. I swear, I'd sooner sleep on the airport floor.
- 8:30 AM: Check-in time. hopefully. After a flight of 20 hours, I'm already dying for a shower. Hopefully, the home looks similar to the pictures posted on the internet.
- 9:00 AM: Finally in the room! Okay, it's…fine. Bit small. AC is blasting (thank GOD). Okay. I'm going to take a quick shower.
Mid-day (Exploring the Nearby Chaos):
- 10:00 AM: Okay, showered. Feeling a little human again. Time to hit the streets. First impressions: Scooter mania! It's like a swarm of bees, buzzing everywhere. I'm too chicken to rent one. I take a deep breath and walk to find a local food place.
- 11:00 AM: Found a tiny place nearby, looks like it's family-run. Ordered the "Bun Cha." My taste buds are in heaven. I'm already sweating again, but I don't care. This is amazing!
- 12:00 AM: Walking around the area and try to see the famous Dragon Bridge.
- 12:30 PM: Decided to call it a rest day. Head back to the room after seeing the bridge, it's HOT, and I'm already starting to feel the jet lag.
Evening (Food Coma & Early Night):
- 6:00 PM: Woke up from a glorious nap. The AC in that room? A lifesaver.
- 7:00 PM: Ordered some food on Grab (the app, genius!). Trying to be adventurous, so I went for something I don't recognize.
- 8:00 PM: Food arrived! It's… interesting. Textures I'm not sure about. I take some pictures, post them on my socials. Hope I don't get food poisoning.
- 9:00 PM: Absolutely wiped. Jet lag is a beast. TV time and trying to decipher the Vietnamese subtitles. Fail.
- 10:00 PM: Lights out. Sleep. Please, please, please let me sleep.
Day 2: Beach Bliss, Burning Feet, and a Magical Sunset (Probably)
Morning (Sun & Sand):
- 8:00 AM: Wide awake! Partly from the excitement, partly from the traffic noise.

Mid-day (Hoi An, the Disaster):
- 2:00 PM: Attempted to go to Hoi An. That was a terrible idea and I regret it. The place is beautiful, the color is very interesting! The heat and crowd are overwhelming. I decided that I need to go back, and I don't want to stay long in the place.

Coorg's Hidden Gem: Uncover the Luxury of Al Wesal International Hotel
So, Elly's Home... Sounds Charming. Is it *Actually* Charming, or Just Instagram-Charming?
Okay, confession time. I saw those pictures online and thought, "Oh, another perfectly curated Airbnb." The reality? Well, *mostly* charming, in a lived-in, slightly-off-kilter kind of way. Think your cool aunt's house, not a sterile hotel room. The pictures *do* capture the vibe, thankfully! It’s got that quirky charm, you know? Cushions everywhere, maybe a slightly wonky lampshade. I actually loved that. So, yes, it's charming, but in a way that feels real, like someone actually *lives* there and isn't just trying to sell you something. I almost tripped over a flip-flop near the door – probably Elly's. Now *that's* charm, right?
Location, Location, Location! How's the Da Nang Vibe from Elly's? Is it a Death March to the Beach?
Honestly, the location is pretty solid. It's not *beachfront*, let's be clear. But it's a manageable walk, or a super-cheap Grab ride. And honestly, that's kinda the *point*. See, if you're right on the beach, you're basically paying extra for the privilege of getting sand everywhere. Elly's is tucked away, which is a HUGE plus. Less noise, less tourist mayhem – and the feeling of being a bit of a local. Getting to the beach? Easy peasy. Walked it once, mostly hopped on a scooter or ordered a Grab. Five, maybe ten minutes tops. Plus, the local street food situation around the accommodation? *Chef's kiss*. My stomach is still recovering from all the deliciousness.
Rooms – Are They Spacious, or Do You Need to Suck in Your Stomach to Get Around? (Be Honest!)
Okay, so *spacious* is a relative term, right? It ain't a ballroom. But it wasn't claustrophobic either. I’d say… efficiently designed. You're not gonna be doing cartwheels (unless you, like, really want to, and then go for it, just... carefully). The bed was comfy though, and that’s what really mattered to me after a long day exploring My Khe beach. I’m a sucker for a good mattress and a cool room. I slept like a baby. I actually wish I had taken some pictures of the room. Damnnit!
The Internet – Crucial for me. Is it Reliable or Will I Spend My Whole Trip Fighting Lag?
Alright, internet. This is important, because, let's be honest, we're all addicted. It was… good. Not *blazing* fast, like you'd get in a hyper-modern tech hub, but totally usable. Zoom calls worked (thank goodness!), streaming was smooth, and I could happily upload all my Instagram stories of glorious sunrises over the Da Nang beaches. There was one minor blip – a brief outage during a particularly epic thunderstorm. But hey, that's life! Embrace the chaos. And it was back up in like, five minutes. So, yeah, reliable enough for me.
Cleanliness - The Devil's in the Details.. Does the Room *Feel* Clean?
Okay, confession number two: I'm a bit of a clean freak. I walked in expecting to find *something* to complain about. But honestly? I couldn't fault it. It was spotless. The bathroom sparkled, the sheets smelled fresh, and there was absolutely zero evidence of the previous guests (unless, you know, they, too, enjoyed a good book in bed). Just a tiny bit of dust on a high shelf, like, barely noticeable. I might have been a little too hyper-observant, but it’s an important thing! It felt like a proper clean, and I appreciated it.
What About the Staff? Are They Actually Helpful, or Just Robotically Polite?
The staff were lovely. Seriously. Helpful, friendly, and *genuinely* seemed to care. I had a problem with my air conditioning at one point. It wasn't a HUGE deal, but it was getting a bit stuffy. Within minutes, someone was at my door with a fix. They were accommodating and were just generally great. They were also super helpful with recommendations for local restaurants – the *best* pho I’ve ever tasted, thanks to their tip!
Noise Levels - Can You Actually Sleep, or Will Roosters/Motorbikes/Partying Tourists Be Your Alarm Clock?
Okay, this is *Vietnam*. There's going to be noise. But Elly's is surprisingly quiet. It's tucked away, which I mentioned before, but the construction nearby, with it's constant *ba-boom*, and the occasional motorbike revving its engine was there. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. I'm not, and I had no problem. My room was in the back, which probably helped. But even so, it wasn't ridiculously loud. I slept really well, considering! The A/C was there to also drown out the noise and the heavy curtains definitely helped prevent a dawn wakeup call. Ahh, sleep.
Value for Money - Would You Stay Again? Is It Worth the Price tag?
Absolutely. Without a doubt. For the price, it's a fantastic deal. You get a clean, comfortable room in a good location, with friendly service… and, most importantly, charm! I’ve stayed in places that cost three times as much and were half as good. Would I stay again? In a heartbeat. I was already looking at dates to go back before I even left the room! I had a wonderful time and I would certainly recommend it to anyone. If you're looking for a no frills, easy going stay, look no further!
The One Thing That Bugged You – Be Honest Now!
Okay, if I *had* to nitpick… the lighting in the bathroom could have been better. A bit dim. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it made shaving a bit of a challenge. But hey, a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things! That's really the only thing, and I'm being *really* picky here. Oh, and *maybe* more power outlets near the bed, but again, a minor complaint and easily solved with an extension cord. Seriously, that’s it.
