If you are a budget traveller. This is it. We got the best price for all our tours booked through the owner. I still remember that night on our return journey from Mt Fansipan, after 14 hrs of exhausting trekking, there he was outside of his hotel, appearing before us when our van arrived to check all the 4 of...

The staff was very accomadating with anything they could help me with such as the owner getting me train tickets, arranging a tour etc... That part was fine. They have a menu at the front door but no restraunt, they do make you breakfast though. The rooms were very swampy smelling, couldn't put my finger on it till the last... More

I had a room with a balcony and a wonderful view. The beds were large and comfortable and there were two chairs, a small table and a large wardrobe. The hotel provided excellent assistance in getting from the station in Lao Cai to Sa Pa and back and also arranges local tours and treks. The staff are very willing but... More

We chose this hotel based on the suggestion it had good views and flexible check in times, which worked well for us. Unfortunately the town was so foggy that we couldn't see anything from our room, so it is hard say whether it delivered on that front. For the price the room was fine butyou are likely to find better.... More

What can I say?? This family run hotel was so dirty. Damp walls, blood splattered on wall above my bed! The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years and a family that just were totally not interested. Do yourself a favour, don't stay!

even for the cheap price you should get more. We had heard not to expect much from accomodation in the far north so our expectations where not crushed too much on arrival. The room was a decent size but it needed a really good clean (and this would not happen during our stay) because of the altitude all the outside... More

Like others have said a good quiet location a few minutes walk away from the centre of Sapa. We also checked in early after the night train got us in at 7am so was handy to sleep before heading out. Great views over the mountains - once the fog had gone. Room large but slightly damp when the fog rolled... More

Some of the reviews on this hotel are far from the experience I had when staying at the hotel. Firstly the only negative I have is that it was very cold. We stopped in the winter and it was cold, so we bought extra layers and wrapped up for bed. There is no central heating anywhere in the north so... More
