Arriving in Dalat from Ho Chi Minh City was as different as night is to day. At 1500ft above sea level Dalat is much cooler and certainly far less congested/noisy/polluted. The Dalat Palace Hotel is prominently positioned, overlooking a massive lake. The architecture is French Colonial and every attempt has been made to retain an almost 'art deco' style. This... More

We stayed in the Dalat Palace hotel for our holiday for 2 nights. Some of the staff were properly snooty, we got a few scathing looks from a few of them, not what we were expecting from Vietnamese hospitality from what we had experienced throughout the rest of Vietnam, especially at Hotels at a fraction of the price. having said...

Take a trip back to yesteryear at this grand old hotel. A couple of modern touches such as an extremely comfortable bed with good pillow menu, and magnifying make up mirror for those of us who may be a little vision challenged were appreciated. The claw bath with hand held shower were a bit of a challenge and after soaking... More

Depending your expectations, this old lady has still got a lot to say... Yes bathrooms are not state of the art but they are huge! We loved the extra comfort of the bed and the old charm of the room, remind me my grand-ma house! We also arrived late, almost 9.30pm (which is very late in Vietnam) and they nicely... More

Service is generally excellent (bar a few slight English problems). Breakfasts are very good, but the food at the signature Le Rabellais restaurant for dinner is average and over priced. Small problems such as no ac, antique plumbing shower arrangeemts in the bathroom for the bath/shower can be annoying often resulting in water on the floor. Ambience and location are... More

Following check in with great staff whose English is ok, we where stunned that there is no elevator. So only 2 floors, but if anyone has issues with climbing stairs in regards to health reasons, we suggest to give this hotel a wide berth and find someplace else. Then there are no showers in the luxury suites, ok for some... More

First impression of Dalat and the palace was WOW! The reception area, beautiful staircase and the look of the room was fantastic. It is as unique as we expected. Its a good location with a staircase directly to the lake. The staff speak 'ok' english. Everyone very polite. Negative points which i personally regard as very important...lack of hot water... More

The old charm and beauty of the property is genuine but the age of the facilities in the room need a re-fresh.. Simple things such as stand for the shower or a fridge that works would be nice. Time for Hertitage to step out of the Accor shadow and spend some cash to put the property on the map again... More

Detail of restoration amazing which of course meant no aircon but it really is a beautiful hotel. Very original which is the idea even down to the noisy 1930s style fan and the telephone with a dial. Don't tell me you don't need aircon because 'it's Dalat' - the room was too hot and we needed that noisy fan. Had... More
