Experience of the stay
I stayed here drawn by the design. The entire building, from the guest rooms to the reception, restaurant, pool, and hallways, had intricate decorations that looked like they came out of a Wes Anderson movie.
【Breakfast】
When I booked through HafH, I chose a plan with no breakfast, but I wanted to try the restaurant, so I added it on the day of my stay. In addition to the buffet, there were plenty of options for set menus and a la carte, and everything was delicious.
【Room】
I received cookies and bottled water in my room every day.
In the evening, there was a towel change. It was nice to have a fresh towel at night after sweating from the heat and taking a shower during the day.
The bed was a bit high, making it difficult to casually sit on. I often sat in the chair by the window.
There is a bathrobe, but no pajamas. The amenities were plentiful, but the toothbrush was hard to use, so I used the one I brought from Japan.
【Location】
You can take a bus from Hanoi airport or the city to Sapa. Choosing a sleeper type allows you to lie down, making it comfortable.
There are restaurants, cafes, massages, and mini-marts around the hotel, making it convenient.
【Overall】
It's an Accor hotel, and the staff responded politely in English.
Experiences during the trip
There is a cable car station in the same building as the hotel. I was able to easily reach the highest peak in Vietnam, Fansipan Mountain (3,143m), by transferring between the cable car and the ropeway.
The weather was mostly cloudy, so I spent a lot of time in the clouds, but I'm glad I went!
You can walk to the entrance of Cat Cat Village, famous for tourism in Sapa, from the hotel. There are a few cafes with great views along the way.
Cute embroidered souvenirs seemed cheaper in the village than in the town of Sapa. I was able to see the lives of the Mong people, rice terraces, and waterfalls. The return trip was uphill, so I took a motorbike taxi.
The path to Sapa Lake and the market is flat, so if you have time, you can walk there.
There are many cafes with nice views near the hotel, making it an ideal town to relax in.
