Description
Dreams has two locations within a couple of minutes of each other and is one of the best places to lay up in Da Lat, combining a backpacker atmosphere with mid-range accommodation and service. Bathrooms are the feature at the 164B location -- they offer either a Jacuzzi or an all-body shower with jets coming from the side as well as the top -- superb after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast is included in the price and shared around a communal table, providing a great chance to get chatting with fellow travellers. Both locations have internet terminals and WiFi in the lobby and the lower floors, all free for guests.

Great value & very comfortable -

One of the best places we stayed at in 3 weeks travel through Vietnam. Room was a good size - basic but clean & comfortable. Bathroom was very big and nice with jacuzzi. Breakfast lived up to its reputation with an abundance of delicious fresh fruit, eggs and fresh crusty bread rolls, juices, coffee & tea. The owner Mrs Dung was lovely and helpful (even made me a pot of ginger tea when I was sick which was very kind). Location was good - a little away from the big hotels and felt slightly less touristy.

I just got back from a month long trip to Vietnam and have to say Dreams was my favorite guesthouse/hotel. We got a 2 bedroom for $20 a night so split two ways, it was $10 a person. Dreams delivered on everything they promised. The bathroom was amazing! Besides having a nice cozy atmosphere to stay at, the staff at Dreams really made my stay a special one. The owner is a cute and friendly lady who I got to know pretty well. Da Lat is known for it's soybean milk and when I was talking to her about it over breakfast, she mentioned to me that she would get me some before I left. I thought it was nice but didn't expect her to deliver on what she said since she's so busy, I thought she would have forgotten. She ended up getting me some of the best soybean milk I've ever tasted. The staff definitely go the extra mile to accomodate your needs. Next time I visit Da Lat, I will definitely stay at Dreams.
Fabulous! -

Great place. As was mentioned already the amazing breakfast made this place excellent value and the whole family is a delight and definitely some of the friendliest people we've met on our travels. They were constantly smiling and helpful. great place!
Induces Sweet Dreams -

I stayed at Dreams I, and had a lovely stay in a lovely town. Plenty of hot water (needed in this town) a big bed, TV and fridge. When you factor in the amount of food you get with the free breakfast, you are actually paying *at least* US$2 (32,000 VND) less for your room. Eggs, fresh baguettes with butter or cheese and strawberry jam, PILES of fresh fruit, passion fruit juice and coffee or tea. Free internet access and you can upload photos on one of their computers. Bicycles for rent, but they're not in the best condition. The owner also has a grocery store in the marketplace that has Western candies for good prices. She is a very sweet lady. I took some pictures when I went on an Easy Riders tour, but I don't have my drivers address. The lady at Dreams said I could mail the pictures to her and she would get them to him. This was a month later, when I was in Hanoi! If you can only book at Dreams 2, don't worry - it's only about 200 meters from Dreams I.
HIGHLY recommended (Dreams I).
Dreams x 3 -

There are 3 Dreams hotels now. The original Dreams located fairly centrally, the Thien An which is a 15 minute walk from the market, and Dreams 2 which is actually the third hotel owned by the same family. Confused? So were we. We thought we were scammed into staying at the Thien An hotel as the Dreams 1 was fully booked. Apparently the brother of the owner of Dreams 1 owns the Thien An. As a number of people were unhappy with the uncertainty of affliation between Thien An and Dreams 2, they named their third hotel, Dreams 2. I actually don't know where this hotel is located. Despite being quite far from the original Dreams, we loved the Thien An so much that we ended up staying 4 nights.
The hosts are a lovely Catholic Vietnamese family. By far, it was the best room in Vietnam during our one month trip. The hot showers were amazing, the beds and comforters were clean and **** comfy, and there was a nightlight so you could actually read in bed at night! Finally, included in the $12 per night charge was an amazing buffet breakfast of fresh buns, yogurt, fruit, eggs, cheese, juice, coffee and real milk!! Oh yea, and there is free internet connection.
Although we definitely did grumble about the distance from the city centre, we were able to get around without any difficulty by walking. The other downside that I don't think you can get away from is the fact that electrical gridlocks are common in Dalat and seem to rotate through different neighborhoods in Dalat on a weekly basis. Bring a flashlight!
