One of the best dorms I've ever stayed in! Great curtains, you could sleep completely in the dark. The mattress was super comfortable and you even had an electric heating blanket which was just amazing. Everything very clean. Owner is very nice, speaks perfect English and is able to help with anything - be it bus tickets, taxi service, recommendations, cable car tickets or you name it. Perfect stay, would definitely come back. 100% recommend :)

Flaco Hostel Sapa is situated in Sa Pa, within 5.2 km of Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station and 1 km of 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.

1) We had a little balcony and a good view! Though it means that you have to walk 750m from the center every time you decide to go out as it was quite far from everyone. 2) The staff were nice! As we had to wait for the check-in time coz the room wasn’t available yet, they let us use the main bathroom to freshen up. 3) They arranged laundry service at an affordable price. We were also able to get the clothes on the same day.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is not an hostel, but an hotel Homestay like. So the name can be misleading. Well located in a side street so easy to get around but not having traffic noise. They speak English and they are helpful. Room is small and basic as furniture but ok. They also provide you with heat blanket in case you are cold. Close to a nice place to have a cheap binh mi and nice egg coffee in the morning which was delicious I spent four nights there and it was peaceful and nice.

    The lovely homestay lady made our trip to sapa amazing! She was so sweet and brought us hot tea every night because it was so cold! She cooks amazing breakfasts (free) and lovely dinners (cheap) too! She showed us how to turn our heated mattresses on and we could fill our water up every day for free as well. Would recommend this homestay to everyone, it is in a great location too!

    Great location, super central and easy to walk around to all the good spots in sapa. Eric was super helpful and arranged a wondering day trekking through the villages for me at a very good price. I was travelling alone and felt very safe and looked after. I had a massage that was brilliant.

    Great location about 5 mins walk from the SaPa express drop-off and super easy to get a taxi to the other end of town. Couple who ran it were super lovely, room was big and perfect. This is a good budget place to stay; comes with everything you'd need for your stay! Breakfast was also fine. Overall a solid contender if you're coming to the area...

    We stayed here for our 4 days in Sapa. We booked a trek which was a lot of fun! We liked that we had curtains (you just have to ask) we liked that we could wash our shoes and clothes in laundry cheaply. We liked the room it was modern and nice! it had a heated so nice and warm. Bunk beds were big - had a charging point. They let us check in early

    Lovely hostel, safe, reception 24/7. The toilets were a bit dirty but we excepted it as we chose a room with 10 people. We would definitely stay in this hostel again since the price was super cheap and the stuff really helpful.

    Lustig hostel was fantastic for a couple of nights - they organise tours which were great and we found they were cheaper than online. Really clean and the breakfast was good. The showers were good and lots of backpackers stayed here so easy to socialise.
