Sapa

Sapa has ample places to stay from budget options to enticing luxury choices. Most hotels overlook the valley, and feature views of Mt Fansipan and the Hoang Lien mountains. There are places further into town, up the hill, but with so many places lower down offering an affordable peek at the panorama, there's very little need to consider them — with a few exceptions. Your chief concern, arriving on a cold winter's day, should be heating — go for a room with a fireplace or decent heater. Hotels that don't offer tours, train tickets, visa arrangements and market trips are rare. Sapa can get extremely busy so if you've set your heart on somewhere or don't fancy trekking around trying to find an available room then book in advance. It's also worth noting that prices can go up at the weekend and hotels can be vague and inconsistent when providing hotel prices — so the prices here should be taken as a guide only.
