Sapa hotels & places to stay

We experienced some of the best Vietnamese accommodations and hospitality during our trip to Sapa. Our plan was to book three different hotels in several different areas around Sapa. First night in Sapa stayed at Pao’s. . . second night at another more rustic hotel. . . third night – Back to Pao’s! Front office manager (Mr. Thang) – went out of his way to make our stay memorable. He was supported by friendly and capable front line staff including Mr. Dat and Mr. Duong. All of the staff could speak English well and couldn’t have done anything more to make our trip there easy and special. During our check-out, Mr. Thang handed us his card and let us know if there was anything he could do. . . to let him know. After one night in a different hotel, we came running back to Pao’s. We were greeted with upgraded room and warm welcome from all the staff – that treated us like returning VIPs. In addition to the competent, professional and friendly staff at the front desk – I also want to

Nice 5 star hotel in Sapa. Very clean and tidy. Nice view of the mountain specially when partially cloudy. Staff are extremely helpful. May be I should put the comment for the tour. The tour is booked from the hotel for a full day private tour 43$ per person. The tour stated 9.15 am , lunch stated at 1.25 pm. Then the tour ended after lunch about 2.15.pm. With no activities after lunch. It looks like a half day tour with lunch. And the lunch is poor quality. I think the management are keen to know this comment for guest better service This comment is also passed to the reception front desk.

We stayed 2 nights at Sapa Horizon Hotel. They were previously named as Sapa Paradise View Hotel but renamed as Sapa Horizon Hotel after their renovation. Our initial choice was another hotel nearer the lake. However, as that hotel did not offer non-smoking room on non-smoking floor, we chose to stay with Sapa Horizon Hotel instead. Since both of us have sinus, this is an important criteria for us. We were so glad to stay with Sapa Horizon Hotel and here are why we highly recommend this hotel to visitors to Sapa Town. 1. Responsive. Prior to booking, we made some clarifications about the room before making our decision. David was so quick to answer all my emails. I even asked him about the flooding condition in Northern Vietnam the night before our flight. He gave us an update before we flew to Vietnam. It was comforting to know that we had someone to count on in Vietnam, especially when we couldn't speak the language. 2. Friendly and service excellence. After a few days in Sapa, we came to realise that friendliness and service excellence were not a given in Sapa. At Sapa Horizon Hotel, we were always greeted with a friendly smile by staff who are ever ready to help us. Mr Kim even offered us a free room to shower after our trekking tour, even after we had checked out from their hotel! 3. Quiet. I'm a very light sleeper and I usually don't sleep well in hotels if I can hear noise from the road or even from next door. Our room in Sapa Horizon Hotel was so quiet; I was able to sleep right through on both nights. Mr Kim said their renovation included double glazed windows which completely cut off noise from the streets. 4. Comfort, food and more. The bed was really comfortable. The firmness was just right for us. The hotel provides international channels including HBO. The breakfast buffet has more than 20 varieties of food choices! It may not be of Michelin Star standard, but good enough to fuel us up for the day. To David, Mr Kim and staff, Thank you for yo

We spend 2 nights in Sapa town before going to Topas Eco Lodge an what a difference. Weather even seemed clearer here which means alot in this area. The view in Sapa (when clear) was great, this place was overwhelming. The location is simply unique as the resort is designed to get the best out of it all. We had some amazing lunch at their outdoor terrace surrounded by pinetrees and with mountains as back drop. The room shared this amzing views, and waking up to this amazing scenery was one of the best experiences we had in Vietnam

We were welcomed with such warmth and friendliness from Emma. It was a rainy cool day in Sapa and the home brewed cinnamon tea was awesome. This is available to drink 24/7!She quickly settled us in to our amazing room with a mountain and city view. The room was larger than most that we have stayed in in Vietnam. There is plenty of storage space. The bed was super comfy and warm. Aircon great. It was beyond our expectations! The morning Receptionist, Anh was equally helpful and amazing. You breakfast at Sapa Dragon Hotel which is adjacent to the Sapa Garden Hotel(same owners). Breakfast was one of the best we have experienced in Vietnam with an amazing variety of options available. The staff at breakfast were fantastic and attentive to our every need. Mr Tom the owner greeted us and chatted with us like we were long lost friends! Our only regret is that we could not stay longer. We loved every minute of our stay there. We would highly recommend this property!

This is the first time travel in Sapa, and I never stay any other hotels in Sapa, but I definitly say that Sapa diamond hotel is the best hotel in Sapa. I stayed in mountain view room. The view was fantasitc. Room was clean (but there are several dead moth in the balcony.). I stayed in 10th floor. In the evening, there was some noise from upstair cafe (droping and draging noise) but mostly quite. I guess there will be loud noise in city view room because of construction in front of hotel. Staff was very kind.

A group of 5 young ladies from HCM that were very lucky to find this new hotel in Sapa. Even though we stayed only 1 night but we could not be more pleased with the service, special thanks to ms Nhàn and mr Trung (both work at front office) that not only upgraded our rooms for free but also gave us alot of good tips during our visit in Sapa. The facilities are all brand new cuz the hotel was just recently opened, location is the best part cuz its right next to the lake and market, there's alot of local resto around. I would recommend this new hotel to everyone who wants to have a pleasant stay in Sapa. P/s breakfast is also very good with plenty of choices. Ms Trân from HCM.

My family (two young toddlers and my wife) and I spent two nights at Amazing Hotel in Sapa on 21st and 22nd of Sept 2018. I can only warmly recommend this hotel. Hotel is super clean (it is a 4 stars), good facilities (they have a swimming pool on the roof-top with an amazing view over the mountain), staff are friendly and helpful, breakfast is good, location is very central (near Sapa square) etc... Excellent hotel from my point of view!

About nearly 2km far from the city center - the cathedral of sapa, but this hotel has surprised us a lot. Nothing different from the photos, it's even better in reality. With Helpful staff, beautiful and clean room with mountain view, this might be one of the best 3-star hotels in town, awesome quality with the price. Also, nice breakfast! We had absolutely enjoyed 3 days 2 nights over there, in a room for 2 whịch was nice and cozy with a wonderful foggy mountain view. We love Sapa and Praha hotel as well. Will come back since we have other occasions to visit the city.

1) View from rooms: Their weakest link, but still not bad. Hotels near the church potentially have more breathtaking ones. 2) Guest welfare: They ain't an NPO but they could have imposed some extra charges. Sapa guests typically turn up at breakfast time. Reception put in effort to allow earlier check-in soonest. Other hotels in Sapa I encountered tend to give preference to guests who took up paid breakfast. Not here at Freesia, they seem impartial to clear the queue on first-come basis. Check-out: guests typically depart late afternoon. Reception again was sincere to accommodate late check-out subject to availability. It turned out we even have to move to a smaller room. They courteously requested for a very nominal charge which we felt was very fair to cover expenses for the extended stay, unlike half-day charge policy elsewhere. 3) Staff: The lady manager spoke excellent English. Staffs, from housekeeping to dining were very friendly and smile warmly. Do check this hotel out

If there is any one person who did not enjoy their stay in Sapa Unique Hotel, I dare say they must be really unreasonable/difficult. service is simply out of this world. This is the first time I have ever encountered such excellent service rendered to me out of the many times I have visited Vietnam. They treat their guests probably like how a Mother would treat her children. We felt extremely well taken care of and it felt closer than home itself! Location was excellent, Room was big and spacious, very good value for money (unless you are expecting 5 star Loccitane amenities or 2000 threadcount satin bedsheets, then Sapa is not for you). But I high recommend this hotel in Sapa anytime. I am an extremely fussy person and get really irritated at the slightest things but this stay really amazed me. Well, my only complaint is... at night if you open the windows, there will be moths/ flies that come into the room. But not a problem - just turn on the A/C. Make sure you book trekking tours with them as their recommendation (on everything) is excellent and well suited to your every needs. Also, they prepared food for us to take on the train. We were so extremely touched by this small gesture! If you are intending to do any tours in Halong Bay, feel free to email them and enquire as they also own a Travel Agency. What really made me happy was... when I offered tips for carrying our heavy lugguage up 2 stories, he told us: "Your Happiness is our Biggest Tips". Shocking for this to happen in Vietnam I dare say. So all in all peeps, book your Hanoi tours with them! We will be back.

- Excellent location: few walks to Sapa Station - train from town to Fansipan cable station by Sun group, also the center ancient church. Nearby a lot of restaurants, coffee shop, souvenir shop, foot massage... we tried H'Mong BBQ restaurant (same group of recommend Sapa Lotus), very delicious food there. Around 1-2 km to the lake and new Sapa market. If you travel by SapaExpress bus, their Sapa stop just across the street to hotel!!! - Excellent in facilities, cleanliness and especially value for money. Only Wi-Fi should be improved, but cellular 4G/3G coverage is very strong for your mobile work. Stayed 1 nite in Family Deluxe City view.

It was a wonderful view even if a lot of fog with bad weather during i was in Sapa. There is clean and good condition with beautiful interior in the room. However, there was so cold to stay during winter season, because there was composed of mezzanine floor with high ceiling. Therefore, there is not enough heating even with fireplace on the ground floor and a small radiator on mezzanine floor. But when i was sleeping, there was not cold because of electric mat on the bed. There was a bit far away from the Sapa town, so I had dinner at the hotel restaurant. Honestly, it was bad. There was no taste compared to price. And breakfast was not bad. I would like to stay here again in other seasons without lots of fog except winter season. That will be much more satisfied to me. But it was good this time also.

We initially booked 2 nights in this hotel through Agoda with the intention of probably moving elsewhere once we had a chance to survey all accommodation options in Sapa on the ground. As it transpired, we spent our entire 8 days in Sapa at this hotel. The biggest plus are the staff. They are helpful, honest and fair - rare commodities in Vietnam. Also, the hotel itself is newish (about 6 months old) and the rooms are large, well appointed, clean and our room was cleaned & bed made daily. Usually when you book tours or rentals, etc. through a hotel, the mark-up is such that it is not worth it. However, at this hotel I ended up arranging trekking, trips, motorcycle hire, etc. directly through the hotel because the prices were reasonable and I came to realise I could rely on the staff. Trust me - I am not an easy person to please. I have amassed a litany of hotel complaints over the years, but this one gets my unqualified endorsement. Sure, it's no 5 star, but it does what it sets out to do extremely well and for a great price.

Located at a short walk away from the city centre, lies a clean and cosy Sapa Dragon Hotel. The service was great, and all the staff were earnest in providing us with the best service and assisting us with any issues we may have. Special mention and thanks to Ainh, who consistently went out of his way to help my friends and I with everything. We stayed @ the 3 person room, which was clean and pleasant. The management of the hotel was very understanding and went out of their way to assist us. Due to our irregular train timings into Sapa, we reached Sapa much earlier than the checkin time. We had requested for an early checkin prior, but was not promised anything. However, because the occupancy of the hotel was not too high, they allowed us to have an early checkin free of charge (usually their policy states that customers are to pay for 2 nights worth of stay if they request for early checkin) upon arrival. I am very thankful that the management was flexible about this, managing this in a very non-stingy and helpful way. We are very thankful for the effort put into this arrangement and how we were handled very professionally :) The only downside I can mention is the fact that Sapa Dragon Hotel does not have a very good view. This consideration, keeping in mind that many other hotels in Sapa leverage on their good views as the selling point. However, this definitely should not be an issue in contrast to what a great experience this hotel can provide. (good views are just a short hike away heh) Stayed April 2017, travelled with friends

Wonderful hotel in beautiful Sapa. It is in the best part of town: central, but still quiet. And if you stay on the backside of the building you will be treated with the most magnificent view over the valley (especially amazing at sunrise). Very cosy, light wood interior design. Reminiscent of Alpine or Scandinavian mountain cabins. Really the only complaint I have is when new tour groups arrive and the lobby is a bit hectic for half an hour. Highly recommended. THE place to stay in Sapa.

We (group of four) were staying at Eden Boutique Hotel during our visit to Sapa in September 2018. The journey from Hanoi to Sapa took 5-half hours drive on the road (due to land slide at some parts of the road to Sapa). On our arrival to the Hotel at around 6.30pm, the Hotel front-desk took our passports and immediately check us in, knowing that we were tired after a long journey. While waiting for some paperwork, they served us (and the driver) with welcome drinks. The breakfast in the Hotel was very good, especially the pho (broth and rice noodle) was delicious. Sooner, we learnt that the pho was prepared by the Owner of the Hotel with his own secret recipe. Every morning, we enjoyed something a little different for breakfast, and we ordered from the menu as much as we want. All employees in the Hotel are able to communicate with in English, they recommended us places worth visiting depending on the weather on that day in Sapa. I strongly recommend Eden Boutique Hotel Sapa.

First of all, you HAVE to stay here if you are ever in Sapa. The view is magnificent. We did not even venture to the town cause, how could we? With such a wonderful view. I went for a massage at the hotel and i love it! It is definitely one of the best massage i had. The owner is right, 60 mins is definitely not enough. We unfortunately had to change our timing to leave Sapa for Hanoi and the staff was so accomodating and helpful. They helped to find alternatives for us and even instruct the cab driver to help us with the purchasing of tickets. Just a note, the traffic at Sapa town can be horrible, we missed our 8.30am bus because of it but thankfully, the staff helped us to book the next best slot. For that, thank you!

I stayed at Victoria Sapa Resort & Spa for 4 days 3 nights. The hotel is very well-furnished, with a gym and indoor pool. The hotel breakfast is good with quite a spread every morning. There is a pool table within hotel compound to keep you entertained if you are bored at night. Your towels get changed twice a day as it is hard to dry the hotel due to the cool weather at Sapa all year. The hotel staff will also come in around evening every day to "make your bed", removing an outer quilt to prepare the bed for a comfortable sleep. The hotel staff are very attentive and polite especially the front desk staff who would try their best to answer my queries.The drawback of this hotel is that the path from the city centre to the hotel entrance is not very well-lit but that can be solved by using your handphone's torch function. It takes about 10 mins to walk from the city centre (Sapa Church) to the entrance and there are some shops offering US$5 leg massages outside the hotel entrance should you require one after your trek/hike. Overall, I had an enjoyable stay with my dad during my 4 days in Sapa and would highly recommend anyone who is going for a Sapa tour to stay at this hotel.

I'm at a loss for words at how amazing my stay was at Sapa Relax Hotel & Spa. The hotel is relatively new and my girlfriend and I took a bit of a risk booking a room here. We were not disappointed! The accommodations were very clean, beautiful, and modern. The complimentary breakfast was delicious (not mediocre like many other hotels in Vietnam). The staff was incredibly friendly and treated us with great warmth. We felt as though we were more than just regular hotel guests. Anything we needed, they provided--including recommendations on activities to do around town. We were able to get massages right in the hotel and left the spa feeling like a million bucks. The view of the terraced mountains from our bedroom balcony was breathtaking. I only wish I could give this hotel 6 stars! This is the gold standard for hotels in Vietnam, and VERY reasonably priced!! Do yourself a favor and book your stay here when you are in Sapa. I definitely will again whenever I am back in town.

The hotel has professional service in the way they nicely arranged a room at high floor per our request and sent a confirmation email for our information in advance. The room is exactly the same as the photos with excellent view over the hills. One plus side is the sitting area which is well positioned with a view:) The hotel is clean and all the equipments function well. This is a well situated hotel - at the center Sapa and just on the way to Ta van - Lao Chai villages. Also, it is just opposite the Sapa Paradise restaurant which we had excellent local Vietnamese dinner with reasonable price. The breakfast however is acceptable with very standard dishes. However, the street in front of th hotel is quite small. In addition, when we arrived, there is a construction site near the hotel which caused traffic jam and noise. Overall, this is a very nice hotel with professional staff and good location.

The hotel can be easily seen. Location is perfect in Sapa! It is very near to fansipan cable car station with less than 10 minutes walking distance. There are many restaurants and cafes located around the hotel. So we don't need to worry about our meals at all. Check in process was smooth. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Staffs were very friendly. We have been assisted on the transportation problem. The receptionist helped us to contact our bus driver patiently without any additional charges. The buffet breakfast was okay. The dining hall was clean and had a good ambience. There are washrooms beside the reception hall. It is convenient to those who reach the hotel earlier than the check in time. We tidied up ourselves after a long journey of reaching to Sapa. Besides, we were allowed to keep our luggages at the hotel and go for other places after check out. In overall, this hotel is highly recommended! Thank you for the good service provided.

Very warm welcome by Mr.Nam, he was very accommodating. He suggested us to do trekking in local areas of Sapa which was very nice. We could walk into the rice fields and got in touch with local villagers. Also he recommended us nice food and other interesting places in Sapa. We also got room uograded for free! The views are amazing and the room is so comfortable and clean. Will recommend to anyone who wants to come to Sapa for sure!

Our room is on fourth floor with private balcony so we can clearly see Muong Hoa valley and Fansipan mountain, The room is big with twin bed .. that is very comfortable.. . the bathroom is modern and convenient for using with bathstub... The lunch on restaurant SAPA SKY VIEW is so tasty .. We love to sit on this nice restaurant that may be the best place in Sapa to enjoy fresh air and outdoor table is the best choice to enjoy the amazing view of Sapa .. We really love this hotel !!!

we stayed here for one night for our Trip to sapa we arrived early morning the staff very helpful, they help and recomend everthing for us. very good room and very clean with great view.good location food and drink are very good. i do love this hotel and friendly staff. we tired from jorney but when we meet all helpful staff here our tired gone away. I really recommend this hotel to everyone. You are very very good hotel in Sapa. we will come back for sure.

Good basic facilities very comfortable large King bed in a fabulous location walking distance to cable car entrance, fabulous restaurants. The management here are committed to employing locals who may not be as experienced but good on them for supporting the community. Sapa sisters trekking are just near the hotel - we booked a great private trek with them which was. A highlight.

I travelled for 2D1N to Sapa, and I made a right decision to spend the only night in Sapa Eco-home. We went there for honeymoon and i stayed in the Butterfly Bungalow. I love the room, it has mosquito net, and perfect balcony with beanbags. Their service is amazing! They also provide service to rent motorbike, and trekking tour. Breakfast is great. I just love how helpful and friendly all the staff, especially Maria & Ngoc ❤️. There’s nothing that you cannot love in this place. Cons : just one - the location is quite far from town for a reason - to get a beautiful paddy scenery.. When i was there, the road to this place from town was still in construction. So bumpy and dirty. It’s not sapa eco-home’s fault, i just assume that i went there not in the right time.

We had the best stay at this hotel in Sapa. My main reason for picking it was so we'd be away from the noise of the main town of Sapa and as this hotel is right on the outskirts it definitely delivered. The scenery is incredible overall but the views from the rooms is beautiful. If the day is foggy well there is nothing you can do but on sunny days...Wow. Breakfast was so good, the buffet had anything even for the pickiest of eaters. Eggs, ham, fresh baguettes, pancakes, fried rice, Pho, little sweet cakes, veggies, cheese, fruit, coffee, tea, seriously we were not expecting it to have so many options so that was a big bonus. The rooms are super clean and had all the little amenities (comb, toothbrush +paste, shower cap, ect) hairdryer in the room, fast wifi, motorbike rental on site, laundry services (everything came back fresh and clean) and mostly the staff always tried to be super helpful in any way they could. So, so nice. We didn't bother to ask about tours from the hotel and such because there are 2 places in town run by local Hmong women (Sapa Sisters & Sapa O'Chau- highly recommended) and we wanted to use either one of them so we just went directly to the tour offices and inquired there. We meant to stay 2 nights and stayed 5. Went on a tour left our luggage here & returned everything a ok. Only one morning, there weren't too many guests so they asked us to choose one thing from the menu and we were a bit disappointed but then again we eat a lot and there are tons of places to grab extra breakfast at nearby. This did not affect our opinion of this beautiful, clean new hotel. We would return and highly recommend staying here. We had friends who stayed more into town and they hated it- they should have stayed here! Wish we could have stayed here longer!
