Our room in this hostel was very spacious, but not too clean. For the money we paid it was ok, nothing special. The woman at the reception was very friendly and she can arrange transport from Lao Cai train station that drops you off in front of the hostel.

We stayed at this hostel for 2 nights when we arrived in Sapa. Large room had TV and hot shower. Wifi was poor in room but good downstairs. Washing facility was poor and we ended up doing most of it, including the drying ourselves. But when you take it all in to acount the price of $10 was very good... More

We stayed one night at this hostel. We had a little trouble finding it, and based off of business cards and signs in the lobby, I think it used to be called The Prince Hotel. Maybe that would've helped us. If you take the bus/minivan for 60,000d per person, then you walk downhill past a big grassy square from where... More

The family was very hospitable. I had know complaints to speak of considering the cost. The value for dollar here was average. They could definately use some new towels that seemed soiled but were probly clean no less. In December it can be a bit chilly and there is no heat in the hotel. An good stay.

We had a great time staying here. The rooms are good value given the price, with T.V, Hot water, WI-FI and a very comfortable bed. It could get quite cold at night but an extra blanket was provided on request, also had electric blankets available and a small heater could be rented for $2, we found it fine with the... More

This is a basic hotel. Don't expect to stay in a super deluxe hotel. It's rather old but the prices are also low. So it's definitely worth the money. The rooms are very moisture, but that's because of the fog in Sapa. The family that runs this hotel is very nice, with a very funny little kid. You can get... More

We were looking for a cheap room, with a double bed, internet and some services. They propose tours around Sapa and very good sleeping bus to go to Hanoi. Easy, with a good English, we recommand them !

I stayed here with my partner and a friend for one night during a 5 day motorbike trip through north-west Vietnam. We were warmly welcomed by the owners who helped us park our bikes in a safe place and helped us with map directions upon leaving. However as warm as their hospitality we woke up with red spots all over... More
