Description
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 nice black and white tiled shower bathrooms. Places right next to a train station are seldom all that great, but at least this one doesn't smell.

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
Hoang Hiep Guest House
35 Nguyen Hue, Lao Cai
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... 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
