Excellent hotel. Staff were exceptional. Location was great. About 15 minute walk to Sun Plaza. 40 minute walk to CatCat, but staff will call you a cab if you prefer. Great restaurants all around the hotel. Variety store right next door. Made to order breakfast. Staff were so kind and helpful. Room was lovely. Full bath with a walk in shower. Very comfortable bed.

Title: Exceptional Stay at Pao's Sapa Leisure Hotel Rating: 5/5 I recently had the pleasure of staying at Pao's Sapa Leisure Hotel with my family and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of my stay. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. Location: The hotel's location was perfect, with easy access provided by property through Hotel's EV shuttle to public transportation and nearby attractions. Cleanliness: The hotel was spotless, with clear attention to detail in every corner. Room: My room was spacious, modern, and beautifully decorated, with a stunning mountain and valley view. Bed and Pillows: The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the pillows were plush and supportive - I slept like a baby! Staff: The staff were friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. Breakfast: The breakfast menu was diverse and delicious, with something for every taste. Ambiance: The hotel's ambiance was warm and inviting, with a lovely atmosphere in the lobby and common areas. Overall, my stay was exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Well done, you've set the bar high!

This hotel is something really unique. The landscape is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. It does not matter which edge of the hotel are you at, everything is just so beautiful and calm. It is literally a paradise in the clouds with breathtaking views. We loved the sundown drinks provided by the hotel between 5 to 6. For the sundown drinks the hotel provides with quality spirits and great snacks which is a lovely touch from the hotel and it is such a great feeling having drinks while watching the beautiful sunset. All members of staff are really helpful and kind. The breakfast is great, we loved the selections. The matcha latte is fabulous. The dinner selection is good and my personal favourite was the Bo Luc Lac - Shaken Beef. The rooms are beautiful. We also loved the fact that the hotel is very environment friendly and offers tokens for guest if they skip the cleaning for a day. The hotel does not push customers and does not try upsell which is also a great experience. All in all me and my wife we absolutely loved this place and we highly recommend it. Thank you Topas Ecolodge Team!

The best part for us was the countryside .

The best part for us was the countryside . The town Was surprisingly noisy, lots of bright lights on the buildings. I expected a quaint town not a very busy touristy place. We took a private taxi 5-6 hours from Hanoi. Very long journey, the last part of the journey is a very steep incline with very rugged roads.

A great, quiet mountain town - and we didn't even go for the Sunday market! We stayed 4 nights, and would come back. Take tours of the surrounding hill tribes and mountains with Mr Huy Trung, from Huy Trung Homestay, or use his self-guided walking tour maps. We enjoyed the second hand shops and Milano coffee cafe, and a restaurant at BacHA Boutique Homestay, by the lake.

Very difficult to find your way there, all homestay/hotel owners refuse to provide information and collaborate only with specific companies. English guides limited but a guide named Thao made our stay a nightmare. She was trying to push lunch and other side services, once she realized we didn’t want that, she stopped any guiding and intentionally destroyed half of one day and the whole second day by acting simply as a side person on the trip, not providing absolutely anything. Totally unprofessional and even verbally rude and sarcastic. Avoid at all costs!

Sa Pa City was mostfly in deep fog when I was there early December. The city itself, nothing to write home about, but a good place to travel in to and the biggest city in the region so ofc prefered to use as a base for other activities. The real adventures are outside this gloomy town. Will come again, but spend as much time as possible outside the city.

Mountainous area famous for plum.

Mountainous area famous for plum. It's called the white valley because during the spring the whole area is covered by plum flowers. So it's best to visit in early January. Otherwise, summer is a good time for plum picking. I had an enjoyable experience picking plum myself and brought lots of them home. I was lucky to visit during the weekends when they had annual horse racing competition. Really memorable. They also have weekly Hmong flea market on Sunday, you can eat local food and see ethnic people trading. Riding motorbike and looking at the mountain was fairly enough for me. You definitely should eat at Sa Mu restaurant. The food was so good that we went there twice.
