The best accommodation in Dalat”

My family and I (5 people)went to Dalat and we had stayed at Kens house for 5 nights just 4700 baht... it is not expensive at all for 5 people.The place is in the city, good location, can walk to the market and around in the city. All staffs were very nice and helpful. Recommend for taxi booking from the hotel to pick you is the best choice (300,000 vnd). We paid 500,000 vnd for taxi at the airport that they told us it was on the miter. We will stay there if we go to Dalat again :-)

I used to stay here for 3 days in lovely double room. Although it doesn't have air-conditioner, no matter at all. The staff is very friendly. They have the city map with good advise which include where we should travel, eat and we can rent a motorbike at this hotel. They also have the kitchen, you can use it as at home. Finally, I love to stay here and will come back if I go to Dalat again.

Didn't live up to advertised descriptions”

Great comfortable beds with 360 degrees of blinds in the dorm, piping hot water in the showers, excellent location in a central part of town

I ran into a few issues staying here that I think may be due to a poor Agoda listing. First, the advertised breakfast included with my stay was a fried egg and a small french loaf. Second, due to Tet (Vietnamese/Lunar New Year) they stopped serving breakfast at all for the second half of my stay and didn't offer any kind of refund. Third, the times they had posted in all the rooms for breakfast were incorrect and they made no effort to change them. I got the feeling I was the only person taking them up on the advertised breakfast and I was a very low priority. Fourth, I paid twice as much as walk-up travelers were paying, until Tet when I was paying the same. Tet is famous for the jacked up prices places have. The fact I was paying the jacked up price the entire time I was there before and after Tet is a bit upsetting. I didn't expect Agoda to have a listing for double the walk-up price! On the positive side the dorm room had large comfortable beds with curtains that could be pulled all the way around them. A nice touch for a bit of privacy when desired. Second, they had two well equipped bathrooms for the 10 bed dorm. They provided towels, toothbrush/toothpaste, and soap. The location was also excellent, practically in the center of "downtown", a few blocks from the lake, Crazy House, and other great destinations for food, drinks, and sight-seeing. One thing that they did that was above and beyond was bump me up to a double room free of charge when they accidentally overbooked the dorm. Then, due to some maintenance, they were going to give me my last night free at their partner hotel (since I would have had to move my things), but I ended up leaving a day early. Instead, they still gave me back the cost of the final day which was a very nice gesture. I would stay here again, but I'd book in person and double check about the breakfast before paying!

Me and my friend stayed here for only one night, but it was good experience. The staffs were very kind and helped us to carry luggage to the room even though it's on the first floor. You can communicate with them in English. They are very patient and will provide a lot of useful infos. The room's cozy and cofy, and big enough for two girls. There's only two wall sockets in the room, but we needed to charge four devices. 😂
