Lovely old French villas dot Zen Cafe’s spacious grounds and guests have their choice of rooms – will it be a small room on the second floor or the large ground floor room with a walkout terrace? Each room is unique and the options seem endless but what you are guaranteed is old wood floors, beds with ornate carved headboards and big French doors and windows that look out to brambly gardens with pleasant patio chairs that beg you to have a seat with a bottle of Da Lat wine.
Most rooms have been spruced up with heavy curtains, WiFi, bedside lamps, tea sets and artwork. The common living areas are charming and romantic, with a fireplace, ornate dining room table and fresh cut flowers. The only thing that feels out of place are the very unromantic tiled modern bathrooms. Rather uninspired, they are more function than fashion. Bathrooms are ensuite for the large rooms while small rooms may have the private bathroom located just across the hallway.
Breakfast is not included but you can opt to add it for US$4 per person, served at their delightful garden cafe. It’s yet another cute space you can hang out in, in this overall special place.
Zen Cafe is located on Pham Hong Thai, south of Yersin Street and less than a kilometre south of the lake. English, German and Vietnamese spoken.
