Have stayed here twice now. SaPa isn't really a place you go to where you are spending your time in your hotel room. The rooms are comfortable 3 star accomodation once you have been out trekking then go into the town for dinner it's time to sleep. Never had a problem with noise until the roosters wake you up early in the morning. But for me that's all part of it. Great place to stay.

Great hotel on a fantastic spot. The view was amazing. The room had a high ceiling, big windows adding to the impression of grandeur. The room and the linens spotless. Staff friendly, very attentive. The breakfast was good and plenty. Hotel in a great spot close to city center and restaurants.

We had only 1 night in Sapa but we were glad to stay here. The rooms are huge by usual Vietnamese standards. The staff were helpful and the breakfasts pretty decent. If the weather closes in, then you won't benefit from the balcony, large windows offering the great views and may have wished you'd chosen more basic digs. If, like us, you arrived and departed on the o/n train, the the large space is definitely worth it.

My travel companion and I stayed here in October 2012 as part of a month long tour of SE Asia.
I cannot say enough good things about the Bamboo Sapa. We arrived very very early from Lao Cai, after the overnight train ride from Hanoi and were greeted warmly and given the chance to freshen up. Our room was on the main floor, at first I thought this would mean no view, boy was I wrong!!!! Wonderful high ceilings our room with a balcony and stunning views over the valley at mountains. We were able to leave the door to our balcony open at night to take advantage of the cooler mountain air in Sapa. What a blessing after sweating our brains out in the lowlands of Vietnam to find this cool, sometimes foggy little city on top of a mountain!!!! Our room had two double beds and a great bathroom. We had a fireplace also....didn't need it (I prefer cool temps anyhow). Breakfast buffet was more than adequate to fill us up before our daily hikes and walks. We also had lunches at the hotel included in our tour and were often the only people in the restaurant. The service was excellent!!! The local people can be a bit reserved at first, but they are so outgoing and friendly once you break the ice it was wonderful. Highly recommend the Bamboo Sapa super convienent to everything and walking around town is no problem.
