Fodor's Expert Review Sao Mai Hotel

004 20/9 St., Bac Ha, Lao Cai, Vietnam

This is arguably the grandest place to stay in Bac Ha, with rooms that are more than adequate and clean. The hotel has three sections—an older concrete building and two wooden houses that are newer and more aesthetically pleasing. However, rooms on the higher level of the original wing enjoy pleasant views of the surrounding landscape. The cozy restaurant has outdoor seating, and a cheap massage is also available at the hotel.

PROS

  • cozy restaurant with outdoor seating
  • pleasant views
  • new wooden houses offer an elevated standard of comfort

CONS

  • showers take a long time to heat up
  • outdated interiors
