I had been to the Palace several times in the past 12 months for personal purposes (a quiet weekend with my wife, a golfing trip, an abseiling excursion, etc.) and most recently last week for a business trip, and had always been very pleased with the hotel. The hotel itself is old-world charm, spacious, clean, elegant, evoking the grandeur of... more

Do not stay in the standard room at the Novotel. We had a limited choice in Dalat and chose the Novotel because of it's reputation. We payed a very high rate compared to other hotels in Dalat. The room was extremely small and backed onto the local neighbour hood. Every nights dogs barked and howled. Early most mornings the local... more

We arrived on a wet, windy and dark October evening (just like the UK!). Entering the foyer to check-in the first impression was WOW! Have we come to the right hotel?!? It was like stepping back in time. It was the sort of hotel you would expect to arrive in having just got off the Orient Express. The whole hotel... more

E.g. there is no gym, no elevators (3 storey only), no AC (not needed), etc. But you get a very workable comfortable hotel which has more charm than anything else i have been... more

This hotel has been reviewed by other TripAdvisor contributors as being ,"A majestic colonial hotel." My wife and myself were less impressed. Overall the 5 star rating given to this hotel is difficult to understand. This is the Government of Vietnam's rating which is apparently not on par with international ratings. The only thing that was 5 star was the... more
