Tl;dr: amazing value, book it!
Long version: An exceptional property. Brand new, tastefully decorated, with rooms laid out thoughtfully, and sparkling clean throughout. A surprisingly useful feature is a laptop in every room, free to use. The rooms are generally quiet, though you may here some noise through the door (e.g. noisy children), or window (cars honking; but not much, as hotel is on a quiet street). Also please note that it's only the suite that has a bath, others have only a nice shower.
The breakfast has a decent buffet selection, plus beef/chicken noodles (pho bo, pho ga) and pancakes cooked to order. The restaurant is a la carte for the rest of day, and is quite affordable (most dishes are under 100k vnd).
The location is conveniently central, meaning just out of noisy center, yet still within easy reach of many amenities (e.g. motorbike hire and massage salon are within 50 meters). The view on the mountains is there, as promised.
All that aside, it's the service that sets this hotel apart: the staff catered literally to our every need. In particular, we were allowed an extremely early check in (2AM) for free, and also took a shower in the evening of the day we...
Read moreSet near the base of a steep side street just a short walk from the centre of town, Sapa Dragon is in a fabulous location. Close to shops, cafes, restaurants, markets, Tour operators and within walking distance of Cat Cat Village and Ham Rong Mountain. It is a 4 minute stroll to catch a train to the Cable Car that takes you to the top of Fanispan, the highest mountain in Vietnam, or a 40 min steep walk if you wanted to stretch your legs.||Our 2nd floor room was spacious, decorated beautifully, had a wooden bathtub and views from the balcony over the rooftops to Ham Rong Mountain. There was only stairs no lift, this did not bother us but may be a concern if you had mobility issues.||The Hotel was clean, quiet and the owner was very gracious and eager to cater for any of our needs.|Although she had little English she utilised Google translate to make sure she understood our requests. |When we arrived we were asked what we would like for our Breakfast and this was presented as requested each morning in the dining room.|Not as cheap as some Hotels in Sapa but good value considering location, size of room, cleanliness and friendliness. |I can highly...
Read moreWe had a great stay at the Dragon Hotel. I booked my trip originally through a third party company and needed to change the dates of the trip. The third party company said it’s non-refundable and wouldn’t let me change the dates so I simply extended the trip. Turned out the hotel owner, Kieu Anh tried to reach out to me to accommodate but I didn’t know. She was so kind even before we arrived at the hotel. While we were there, we hiked up Mt. Fansipan and had to leave at 5am on the day of. She woke up early at 5am to make us pho for breakfast before we left. I was so appreciative. On the first night we arrived, I mentioned that I love steamed rice roll so she made it for us for breakfast the last day we were there. She was simply amazing. I was so touched. The room was very nice and spacious with a cute balcony. The location was extremely convenient. While we were there, Kieu Anh also helped us exchange money (she gave us a good rate) and they also have laundry service which was so convenient. If you want a hotel stay with a homestay feel, you must visit the...
