Sapa Harmony Homestay, hotel in Lao Cai

Featuring city views, Sapa Harmony Homestay provides accommodation with balcony, around 5 km from Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station.

The homestay and room were very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious with a hot shower. Even without air conditioning, it wasn’t hot, so we didn’t mind, and a fan was provided. The location was great, close to the city center. Since we booked on the same day, we got a discount, making it a good value for the price.

    Very friendly family. In our experience one of the best things about travelling in Vietnam is that you can get such a variety of experiences, each town has a different appeal/ interest. Our hosts were very friendly and open. They treated us like family and our kids played with their children the whole time. This stay was a highlight because we really got to spend time with a Vietnamese family.

    Everything is good. Price is cheap. Location is in the city center, close to the border with China, so I could easily walk there. Standard for this price is much higher compared to Chinese hostels in similar prices (especially much cleaner). The lady in the reception speaks English.

    The rooms are very comfortable and the homestay is very nice. The host doesn't know English but we "talked" by Google translate. He is very kind and helpful and I strongly recommend it. If you are at Bac Ha on Saturday evening to see the party of the village waiting the Sunday market you don't regret it. I also recommend to have dinner at Nobita Homestay: it's cheap, abundant and very tasty.
