The hostel offers an American or Asian breakfast. Hospitable people and kind. Very generous The place is in a calm area a little bit far from the town center, but was not an issue because it is away from the crowded roads. In my spare time i enjoyed the small library they have.

At the hostel, rooms include a wardrobe. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer, certain units at HeLLo Sapa Hotel also provide guests with a city view. At the accommodation every room is fitted with a desk and a flat-screen TV. The property itself was in a central location in Sapa town and walking distance to Cat Cat village. The hotel was clean, comfortable and breakfast was the best we’ve had during our trip to Vietnam! The manager Mia was the highlight of our stay here. She was so kind and accommodated our 1 am arrival from the bus without any issue. She even upgraded our room when a new one was available! If we come back to Sapa, we will definitely be staying here again.

Situated within 5.2 km of Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station and 400 metres of Sa Pa Lake, Flaco Hostel Sapa provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Sa Pa. Boasting a shared lounge, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 600 metres from Sa Pa Bus Station, 2 km from Ham Rong Garden - Ham Rong Mountain and 1 km from Sa Pa Stone Church. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. What I like best about the property was the staff, they were really helpful and nice especially the GIRL STAFF that knew simple english but if she didn’t understood what we were saying she would translate it using her phone. SHE HAD EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. She even booked us a taxi or tuktok going to our next location. Just to give you a heads up, there is no Grab in Sapa unlike in Hanoi. The place was very convenient. It had an excellent LOCATION. Once you go out, there are a lot of restaurants outside, salon, spa, laundry etc… it’s a 10minute walk to the Sapa Center where all the excitement is happening but a long the way there are a lot of things to see. And it is also near the Sapa Market, but unfortunately we did not get a chance to go there. Hotel itself is CLEAN AND COZY 🩵🩵❄️ I was unsure in booking this place at first because it had a low rating in being “clean” but to my surprise it was SPOT ON CLEAN. They do have an electric kettle where we can heat water for our baby and there is a working heater in the bathroom and there is also a working room heater which is great for the cold weather. Do not underestimate the coldness in Sapa because it gets really cold.
