Pea Hostel features free bikes, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Sa Pa. With free WiFi, this 3-star hostel has a restaurant and a bar. Staff on site can arrange airport transfers.

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.

Located in Sa Pa and with Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station reachable within 12 km, Eco Rice Fields House provides concierge services, allergy-free rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a restaurant. The property is situated 7.7 km from Sa Pa Lake, 7.2 km from Sa Pa Stone Church and 7.5 km from Sa Pa Bus Station. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, room service and organising tours for guests.

At the hostel, rooms have a balcony. Eco Rice Fields House offers certain units with mountain views, and every room comes with a terrace. The house itself is brand new, clean and in a convenient location. It was cold when I arrived and they had a heater under the mattress already on for me. The family with their 3 young kids are super sweet, both the wife and husband are guides so the wife Xi Xi guided me on a walk through the valley the first day and taught me about the local culture and area and the husband Dơ organized for me to hike Fansipan mountain and took me up there my second day, for a better price than I could have gotten elsewhere. He even had a little medal and certificate for me at the top. Dơ was a chef before and the food was very delicious with generous proportions. Xi Xi always prepared a delicious breakfast with and option of soup or eggs and fresh fruit. When I needed to go to Sapa early to catch my bus Dơ took me on the motorbike. All in all a perfect place with wonderful hosts from which to explore the area :)

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.

The toilet and shower room is small, but the water pressure is excellent and the water heater works quickly. WiFi was good, room was clean and cozy. In my opinion, this is the best deal for that budget. I will be happy to come back!
