Peace Hotel

Great place, great location - 9th November, 2009
Stayed here after initially trying to book the dreams hotel. This place has two locations, basically right down the street from each other. Rooms have two beds, no ac (but you don't need it, trust me), and are all in good condition. Hot water also. Add breakfast for an additional 1$ per person. The Easy Riders hang out in the Peace cafe, which is located below the Peace 1 hotel, and can be extremely annoying and loud, but this is Vietnam. Just smile and say no thank you when you don't want what they have to give you. They just want your business. You are their ticket to food on the table. (There are three different peace cafe's that I have seen in this area so far, this is the one directly below Peace 1 hotel.) The price we paid was 7 dollars, plus another 2 dollars for me and my girlfriend's breakfast in the morning. All in all a great place to stay with a great location

Backpacker Hotspot in Cafe - 7th May, 2008
The breakfast and late afternoon meal are worth going to. Cheap eats and friendly folks. Reminds me of ''Greasy Spoon'' diners with a matronly staff. The folks that eat there are fellow travellers, and of course the price and quality are good. Good travel grub and even wine and beer. The prices are just right. I know folks that stay at other hostels (''It was near the bus-stop,'' they say) yet they still come to the Peace Cafe (the real one with the 3 ladies and 1 grandma, not Peace Cafe 2 or the one with the Green$ sign) to socialize and buy books (in various languages, too, French and German, I last saw.) The ladies are impeccably ladies, although they have to take care of themselves and be business-like at times, esp. the morning. Their prices are cut to razor-thin margins, so they can ill-afford to lose a thing. They seem happy and busy, however, and when things die down they love to chat you up and be a bit nosy and curious as most Vietnamese are. Dalat still has a small-town atmosphere. The cafe is well-frequented by expats and tourists alike. You'll find plenty of travel info on Dalat and surrounding areas chatting up fellow travellers and guides. Like all places, you will run into the ubiquitous Dalat Easy Rider, who is surprisingly knowledgeable of the terrain and history surrounding hill-forested Dalat. Their rough, cowboy-like manners are typical of most road warriors, but surprisingly they are very intelligent and knowledgeable and friendly if you give them a chance. They are vigilant and always out to help a tourist, even if it means buggering them to death. They are a unique bunch of characters that deserve a break now and again. I like the nice bikes, especially the newer, bigger ones. Those are a big pricier, but what a ride .. The location is fairly good, if not perfect. It's on a one-way, hilly, winding street Westerners seem to like, not too far from the square and the ''avenue of cafes and a few bars'' on the road to the Peace or (Hoa Bin) Square. They are building a new hotel and supermarket (so I hear) at time of writing 5/2008. The beds are just as written - and I got a clean bathroom. Clean, safe, and bright. The Vietnamese name for the Peace Hotel is the ''Khach San Hoa Bin''. Pronounced [ Khaht San Hwa Been ].
