Top Sapa Lake Hotel Reviews
Stella De Boutique Hotel
"Nice view, convenient to walk everywhere"
Sapa Mountain Queen House
"Clean"
Silk Path Grand Sapa Resort & Spa
"Great property and helpful staff"
KK Sapa Hotel
"Toilet needs to improve. Hard to plush"
SaPa Marigold Hotel
"This is a very basic accommodation. The pictures are misleading because there is no restaurant with wooden chairs or tables. You’re basically paying for an en-suite room. It’s basic. It’s clean. I had to help myself to water and toilet paper from one of the other rooms because there often was no one at the help desk counter. Also, you need a translator app - though this is a country-wide necessity. The beds are quite hard, but in my case I enjoyed that."
Sapa Praha Hotel
"A lot of choices for breakfast. The hotel is pretty clean as well as the room. We stayed at a family room with 2 queen beds and one full and a tub. The highlight of our stay is the staff members. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful. They will give you recommendations, greet you as soon as they see you. They always give us juices or tea whenever we are in the lobby waiting for our ride. We will definitely gonna come back to this hotel. There are a lot of other hotels around the town. But the service we received from them is what’s gonna make us to come back. Also, very convenient location with a great view."
SAPA PINE HILL ECOLODGE
"Nice cabin like hotel. Staff were helpful & welcoming. Rooms good size. Bathroom were of good size, but the sink leaked. The tub didn’t look like its drainage was put correctly. Breakfast unfortunately was not satisfactory. Location was good and walking distance to restaurants, cafe & station."
