    Best stay in Sapa :)

    The Botanic Sapa Hotel is the greatest accomodation for your stay in Sapa! It is located in a small side street near the city center, so you can reach shops, restaurants and even Sapa station easily by foot (you need to take some steps to the main street). Our room was spacious, super clean and had everything we needed. There was even a balcony with views on the mountain. But the best about it is the hosting family. They are so lovely, kind and attentive people, gave great tips and really helped us making the best of our short stay. Thank you so much for everything, we will definitely come back :)

    Outside there are about 20 steps up to the main street.

    Very close to centre of town . Small hotel and excellent welcome by the owners. They helped us book our onward transport and even carried our bags up the steps. Don't hésitante to book.

    Owners are very nice and helpful, they have walked us through all the options available in Sapa, gave recommendations for good restaurants and motorbike rental. Room was nice, clean, albeit small. We were able to checkin early (for a charge of 300K from 7am, until 7am, for 500K), which came in very useful given travel by overnight train, was good to take shower and sleep for a little bit. They don’t charge extra fees for credit card, which is great, even booked our tickets for Fansipan and just added them to the total bill. Location is great, very close to the centre, but quite still, as it’s on a side street. There was always enough hot water for 2.

    This hostel is without doubt a gem in Sapa and in all of Vietnam. The hosts top the already high standards of Vietnam by far, both in terms of friendlyness and helpfulness. Late night checkin because of bus schedule - no problem. Next day detailed introduction of the map of Sapa, instant oganisation of a hiking tour and constant updates on the weather on Fansipan. The place is a 100% recommendation.

    Everything was perfect. Nothing I didn’t like.

    - the location is perfect, close to the center, view on the valley and yet quiet - the room and bathroom were very clean - room was spacious enough to open the backpacks and be confortable - air conditioning if to warm and heating mattresses if too cold - balcony with Mountain View - most importantly : amazing amazing staff. We got so many tips about the center and place to eat and each recommendation that we followed was just perfect. We also booked access to the funicular to fansipan through the hotel as well as a 2 days trek with a home stay which was amazing. They even allowed us To leave our backpacks there during our trek and shower when we came back, and manage to do our trek laundry (which was wet due to the rain) before we leave for our next destination. Really amazing place. Would 100% recommend and go again!

    All good!

    Botânica Sapa Hotel was highly recommended to me by a traveler that I met in Hanoi who had recently stayed there. I agree with her that it was a wonderful place to stay. The couple who run it, Van and Ming are very warm and friendly, and go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable and have everything they need to make their stay a good one. The rooms are clean, large and nicely furnished. I was very comfortable there!

    Perfect Hotel to explore Sapa!

    • Solo traveller

    When you arrive from a long travel day, or come home after an exhausting day of trekking through the rice fields all you want is a clean room, a hot shower and a comfy bed. Botanic Sapa has all of those and a whole lot of familiarity and warmth. Van and her family are so friendly and welcoming, they make you feel "at home" away from home. The heated mattress and strong dehumidifying AC are lifesavers in the foggy and cold spring in Sapa and really make you feel comfortable when you return to the hotel. The wifi is strong and you have your own kettle in the room, so taking a slow day with tea and a movie is also an option. For the sunny days I liked drinking my morning tea on the balcony attached to the room. Van also helped me by giving me a map to the city with recommendations, prices and stuff and by booking the Fansipan train and cable car tickets on the day I wanted to go up and I used their laundry service twice, which was super affordable and quick. When I see a place that has ratings that seems "too good to be true" I am weary, but Botanic Sapa deserves the high rating it has. I have been to Vietnam a lot and Botanic Sapa is easily one of my Top 3 accommodations in the country!

    Thank you for having us. The hotel is nice and very clean. The host is incredibly kind. She took her time and explained to us what we could do in Sa Pa. During our stay I got sick and she came by with a thermostat and some medicine. Super nice family, we really enjoyed our stay.

    Nothing. I could comment that providing fresh coffee in the morning would elevate this stay another notch.

    Our stay at Botanic SaPa was memorable. Despite the weather not being optimal, we still fully enjoyed our experience at this 4 room hotel, which feels more like a homestay more than anything. The hosts (Van and Ming) are simply amazing! Welcoming, informative, helpful, honest and so kind. They did everything for us to feel comfortable; the level of attention is above and beyond, their hospitality is fully genuine. They provided us with great info and booked everything for us, from motorbike, to Fansipan tickets, comfy bus back to Hanoi and great guide for a trek. All we had to do is pay at the end and we felt it was always the right price and whatever they booked was local and connected to the community. Our room had great views (when we had them) and we liked the firm, but very comfortable heated mattresses. Shower was warm and room was cleaned daily. We fully recommend their place, great value and comfort.

    When the shower was used, all the floor to ceiling, windows fogged up, and the fan on the AC needed to be ran for quite some time, to clear the moisture from the room.

    Van and her husband were very friendly, helpful arranging tours and suggestions for onward travel plans. Their hospitality was awesome and made my stay in Sapa the best! Without them, my stay would have been very disappointing because the weather did not allow for the views. Socked in with fog and clouds.

    If you want the perfect homestay in Sapa, look no further. The rooms are recently renovated and all offer a stunning lookout over the mountains, with balconies. In the area are multiple good restaurants to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. The owner couple are just wonderful people who will organise everything you’ll need! Plus they have a very talented daughter who makes the most beautiful paintings ever.

    The room was a bit umid, but surely connected to the weather in Sa Pa.

    The position of the hotel is perfect, close to the city center but with a wonderful view of the mountains. The highlights of our stay was for sure the host, Van. She gave us precious suggestions and organized everything, including the trekking with a local guide. Last but not least, she and her husband welcomed us with a big smile and we felt immediately at home.
