Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
I had an enjoyable 2 day stay at this small but well appointed hotel. The manager was exceptionally helpful especially in booking trips and advising about places to visit. The most distinguishing feature of the hotel was being such good value for money and a good location with a high standard of rooms. I would have preferred a choice of breakfast but it was low season and it was decent and freshly cooked.

We had a great stay at the Dragon Hotel. I booked my trip originally through a third party company and needed to change the dates of the trip. The third party company said it’s non-refundable and wouldn’t let me change the dates so I simply extended the trip. Turned out the hotel owner, Kieu Anh tried to reach out to me to accommodate but I didn’t know. She was so kind even before we arrived at the hotel. While we were there, we hiked up Mt. Fansipan and had to leave at 5am on the day of. She woke up early at 5am to make us pho for breakfast before we left. I was so appreciative. On the first night we arrived, I mentioned that I love steamed rice roll so she made it for us for breakfast the last day we were there. She was simply amazing. I was so touched. The room was very nice and spacious with a cute balcony. The location was extremely convenient. While we were there, Kieu Anh also helped us exchange money (she gave us a good rate) and they also have laundry service which was so convenient. If you want a hotel stay with a homestay feel, you must visit the Dragon Hotel.

A great stay in this hotel. The staff friendly and professional. The room was large and spotless wifi was fast and they had a laptop in the room for you. We also had dinner in the restaurant . the duck and spring rolls were made fresh and we're delicious . I would definitely stay in this hotel again. Breakfast was sufficient though the brewed coffee was the only thing that let this establishment down.

We were welcomed by Kieu Anh Chu, as if we were family. Even at the low rate we had booked, she and her family took care of all our needs and questions during our stay. As an older traveling couple, we had concerns about the lack of an elevator inside this facility; however, we were offered a choice of rooms even during a very busy weekend. We took a lower floor but she and her daughters took our bags from us and moved them rapidly up to the 2nd floor of rooms. She even told us they would move us to a front room, which gave us a balcony overlooking the city and the valley, for the last half of our stay once the weekenders had checked out. They even moved our bags across the floor to the other room while we were out visiting the town. She was very helpful and informative in answering our many questions and booking tours on how to best experience Sapa, Fan Si Phan, and Cat Cat Village. We would stay here again should we return. As we left, we even exchanged information and became Friends on Facebook.

Set near the base of a steep side street just a short walk from the centre of town, Sapa Dragon is in a fabulous location. Close to shops, cafes, restaurants, markets, Tour operators and within walking distance of Cat Cat Village and Ham Rong Mountain. It is a 4 minute stroll to catch a train to the Cable Car that takes you to the top of Fanispan, the highest mountain in Vietnam, or a 40 min steep walk if you wanted to stretch your legs.
Our 2nd floor room was spacious, decorated beautifully, had a wooden bathtub and views from the balcony over the rooftops to Ham Rong Mountain. There was only stairs no lift, this did not bother us but may be a concern if you had mobility issues.
The Hotel was clean, quiet and the owner was very gracious and eager to cater for any of our needs. Although she had little English she utilised Google translate to make sure she understood our requests. When we arrived we were asked what we would like for our Breakfast and this was presented as requested each morning in the dining room. Not as cheap as some Hotels in Sapa but good value considering location, size of room, cleanliness and friendliness. I can highly recommend this Hotel.

On the outside the hotel looks ordinary trying to keep up. However when I checked in I was very impressed The rooms are average size but the balcony makes up with the view and the sun shining on you every morning The room is thoughtfully decorated - all the wooden surface area are covered with local traditional apolstry. The bath room gives a rustic feeling with modern amenities. Room comes with a laptop , well we never used it but it was there to our disposal : wifi speed is decent for video calls and picture upload. The dining menu is basic however in mountains basic is lavish. Please try the potato soup and ginger tea - the best I have ever had.
Walk for 3minutes and you reach the town center and the Sapa station
Definitely will recommend

We arrived to this hotel at approximately 8:30am after an overnight train. We were absolutely broken due to lack of sleep, had booked the hotel for the wrong night and had booked the wrong amount of rooms,
The manager sorted everything out at around 8:40am and had given us complimentary upgrades. He let us check into our rooms straight away, as apposed to the standard 2pm check in time, It really is the little things that make our break your stays while travelling.....
The room, very spacious with extremely comfortable beds. They had so many good European TV channels that I had to drag myself out of bed to do sightseeing.
And on to the sightseeing, we wanted to do hiking and wanted to see some must see sights. The hotel arranged this straight away and at a competitive price. We also wanted to arrange a direct bus transfer back to Hanoi, again the MD sorted this out last minute,
One of the best hotels that I've stayed in and would put a lot of Western Hotels to shame.

This hotel is so great to stay in. We arrived early on the overnight train from Hanoi but we were allowed to book in on arrival early morning. Our room was lovely and comfortable with a cute balcony to watch the world go by. The facilities were excellent in the room and the bed was extremely comfortable, we had a brilliant shower and our room was cleaned every day. The breakfast had a good choice. All the staff were very helpful and friendly and always had a smile. We had a very happy stay here and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sapa.

Is really good hotel for the price. Rooms were really nice with great views of the city. Nothing to complain about. Cute people who own the place, who are very helpful and can help with the booking of trekking trip. You do not need to book trekking in advance

This is a really comfortable hotel and rooms have good facilities. The staff are a little over attentive at times but very nice and helpful. The breakfast is not that great but there is plenty of variety, it seems odd that although the hotel had only western guests they put out vast quantities of Vietnamese food for breakfast. I think this should be rethought. The hotel is in a good position with good restaurants only minutes away. We had 2 half day treks organised through the hotel with Ly, a local guide. She was so good to walk with and here her stories about local life and how things were made, such as the indigo dyeing. Some people trekking were very dismissive of having a guide. Yes you can do it on your own but she really enhanced our treks. We were very relaxed in the hotel, they looked after is well
