Lustig Hostel 3 stars

Sa Pa

Lustig Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Sa Pa. With free WiFi, this 3-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and room service. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests. We arrived at 4 am with a sleeper bus, slept for a few hours and left for a hike, so not much to say about longer stays. But very helpful staff and really great breakfast! Showers nice and clean. We could easily store our luggage there for a couple days while going on a multi-day hike. They even have a shower downstairs to use if you’re coming back from a hike and no longer have a room there.

Flaco Hostel Sapa

Sa Pa

Flaco Hostel Sapa is situated in Sa Pa, 5.2 km from Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station and 1 km from Sa Pa Stone Church. Boasting a shared lounge, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 400 metres from Sa Pa Lake, 600 metres from Sa Pa Bus Station and 2 km from Ham Rong Garden - Ham Rong Mountain. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. What I like best about the property was the staff, they were really helpful and nice especially the GIRL STAFF that knew simple english but if she didn’t understood what we were saying she would translate it using her phone. SHE HAD EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. She even booked us a taxi or tuktok going to our next location. Just to give you a heads up, there is no Grab in Sapa unlike in Hanoi. The place was very convenient. It had an excellent LOCATION. Once you go out, there are a lot of restaurants outside, salon, spa, laundry etc… it’s a 10minute walk to the Sapa Center where all the excitement is happening but a long the way there are a lot of things to see. And it is also near the Sapa Market, but unfortunately we did not get a chance to go there. Hotel itself is CLEAN AND COZY 🩵🩵❄️ I was unsure in booking this place at first because it had a low rating in being “clean” but to my surprise it was SPOT ON CLEAN. They do have an electric kettle where we can heat water for our baby and there is a working heater in the bathroom and there is also a working room heater which is great for the cold weather. Do not underestimate the coldness in Sapa because it gets really cold.
