Description
In case you arrive at the border to China too late to cross, or if you arrive from China too late to care, there are plenty of places to stay a short walk from the gate. Not that it much matters which one you pick, but we checked out a few and picked this one. Nice clean rooms, spacious, with armoires, low tea tables, low beds, broadcast TVs, and okay-smelling bathrooms that feature naked-lady tiles.

Thuy Hoa Hotel
118 Thuy Hoa, Lao Cai
Everything's clean and proper here at the Thuy Hoa, so if you get dropped off at Lao Cai International and you haven't booked yet, just walk down the hill and stay here. Rooms are around a courtyard rather than with river views, but the rooms are spacious, light and airy. If you must have a... more



Pho Nui Guest House
82 Ho Tung Mau, Lao Cai
We had high hopes for this place since it's convenient to the train station, has its own restaurant, and the ATM is right outside. But our hopes were dashed at the sight of cramped rooms with uncomfortable furnishings, and beds with thin mattresses -- though our opinion improved at the sight of the... more



Terminus (Hiep Van) Restaurant and Guest House
342 Nugyen Hue (across from the Train Station), Lao Cai
We can't speak about the food here, but the room we saw was a cut above. Blue tiled floors, good bedding, nice big windows, and there was even a chandelier to light it all up. Rooms come with air-con, free to air TV, and tiles in the bathroom that feature a picture of a naked lady. Seems there was... more
