Sapa in general can be a little tricky to find decent budget accomodation, but Family Guesthouse hits the mark. It's a wonderful little family run (obviously) hotel just down the main street. If the cloud gods relent, the views are AMAZING. You have 180 degree views of terraced hills and valleys, and even of Fansipan, the biggest mountain in Vietnam.... More

We had heard about this through another travel website and got pretty much what we expected. A $15 room for $15. We are comfortable in budget places. As the reviewer below me listed, yes, beds were meh, pillows, meh, bathrooms, meh, towels SMALL - but it got the job done. Unfortunately we didn't get the amazing view due to the... More

The bed was meh.. and the pillows too.. Bathroom can be cleaner and sink was blocked. Literally no service so to speak, the only merits was the view from the balcony plus a guestroom for us to shower and store our bags after we checked out. Staff was busy playing PC games while attending to our request, and didn't take... More

We spent in the guesthouse only one night but we were allowed to take shower after the night train and leave our luggage the day before (we did homestay) and also after check-out before taking the night train back to Hanoi. We also used their minivan transport from/to Lao Cai. The place is very close to all the restaurants but... More

I walked along the main street above the valley and found this place had the best view at the lowest proce for that side of the road (for around $20 a night). The rooms were clean and the roof top restaurant was a great setting for breakfast. More

Brilliant location, with balconies looking over the beautiful valley right at Mount Fan Si pan; a beautiful building with big comfortable rooms (and the blankets are more than warm enough on a cold night); delicious breakfasts (the best vegetable pho in vietnam) served with a view across to the mountains; and, best of all, superfriendly, energetic, helpful, wonderful Bich, who...

Rooms were clean and well appointed. Price was hard to beat. Fantastic view of the valley from small balcony. Friendly owner who helps you do what you want. She promoted her own tours but also willing to help us hire a private guide to tour the surrounding mountains. We found the beds uncomfortable (despite being fairly used to south east... More

We stayed in Room 308, which gives you a breathtaking view of the valley when the weather is clear. When it's not as clear, you can still get glimpses of it through the mist. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and when you go out on the balcony, you're looking down hundreds of feet at beautiful farmland. For... More

Wow what a view, this is a top budget venue, free internet, free breakfast, hot showers, clean room, comfortable beds, balcony's in some rooms and did I mention the view. The owner/receptionist Bic is soooo helpful, we climbed Fansipan mountain and left at 5am, she got up especially for us and made us breakfast at 5am, what a star!!! She... More
