Hotels With Pools in Lao Cai Province, Vietnam

We spent the first two days of our trip staying in town at Sa Pa, and for the next two nights we moved slightly out of town to Hotel DeLaMont. The hotel is located about a 10-minute drive from the town center, perched high on a hill overlooking the valley. One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was precisely for that spectacular valley view, which is said to be among the best in Sa Pa. Unfortunately, during our stay, the weather fully lived up to Sa Pa’s nickname as the “City in the Fog.” Thick fog rolled in every day, and visibility was sometimes close to zero—especially on the darker roads without streetlights while our Grab drivers navigated the winding hills. Thankfully, on the morning of our final day, the clouds finally lifted a little and we were blessed with a partial glimpse of the breathtaking valley view we had been hoping for. Our room was spacious and very clean. The bed was essentially two super single beds pushed together, which meant you could feel the gap in the middle while sleeping. It’s not the most comfortable setup, but still manageable for a short stay. The minibar follows the usual hotel practice—aside from complimentary water, tea, and coffee, the rest of the items are chargeable. One thing we appreciated was the smart TV. We spent some relaxing time listening to music and watching travel videos on YouTube after long days exploring Sa Pa. The bathroom was clean and equipped with a modern electric shower system, which was quite impressive. They even installed a heated lamp to keep you warm while showering—something you’ll definitely appreciate in the chilly Sa Pa climate. However, the wash basin design could be improved. Water tends to collect around the sides, leaving the surface constantly wet, and occasionally attracting small bugs. The hotel doesn’t include breakfast by default, but you can pay extra if you’d like the convenience of eating on-site. It’s not the cheapest option, but it’s certainly convenient. The hotel also offers facilities like a gym and a swimming pool. The pool is supposed to be heated, but during our visit the weather was extremely foggy and humid, so the heating was turned off and swimming wasn’t really appealing anyway. Their rooftop area is quite beautiful and would probably be an amazing place to enjoy the valley view on a clear day. Overall, despite the foggy weather limiting the scenery, Hotel DeLaMont is still a comfortable and decent hotel with spacious rooms and good facilities. On a clear day, the view alone would likely make the stay even more memorable.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at KK Sapa Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our stay. The hotel is beautifully designed, with elegant interiors and a unique layout featuring two lobbies connected to different road levels, which I found particularly impressive and distinctive. We also greatly enjoyed the buffet, which offered a delightful variety of fresh and delicious dishes. Overall, KK Hotel provides a lovely combination of excellent service, charming design, and quality dining. I would gladly return and highly recommend it to others. :)

Generally hotel standard is below the standard of a 4 star hotel Location is not very good and quite far from the town centre about 30 minutes walk HOTEL room is very big for single occupancy Hotel amenities were in quite bad. The swimming pool is closed and the bar is closed as well. Rooms were clean. Service is satisfactory and the reception does not speak English.

Pao’s Sapa Leisure Hotel – Excellent Location & Outstanding Staff I recently stayed at Pao Sapa Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is excellent—right beside Moana Sapa and just a few kilometers from Cat Cat Village, making sightseeing very convenient. The town is also within walking distance from the hotel. The room was spacious with a beautiful valley view, and the breakfast was delicious. The language barrier can be challenging, but the reception staff always have someone who speaks English. Katie, in particular, was extremely helpful. She assisted us with planning our Fansipan trip and booking tickets, and the hotel staff maintain a group chat to update guests on peak weather conditions, which is very useful. During our stay, the air conditioning wasn’t working and the room became humid after a long day out. Communication was difficult at first, but Katie responded to our message even after office hours and helped resolve the issue, allowing us to rest comfortably. Kudos to Katie and the team for their dedication and excellent service. I highly recommend Pao’s Sapa Leisure Hotel for its prime location, spacious rooms, and outstanding staff support.

The room we stayed was spacious and very clean.  It was facing the red river right next to the border bridge and hence the night scene was so fantastic.  The ground floor lobby and the reception area was large and well decorated.  The hotel provided the breakfast with various kinds of food including traditional Chinese, Vietnamese and Western styles.  Besides, the hotel was located in a quiet street with some street shops within walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel if you come to Lao Cai.

The location is beautiful, about 30 minutes from the center of Sapa. We preferred this place for its tranquility and authenticity. Grab taxis are available for around 8€ to get to Sapa. Regarding the room, it's very basic. The cleanliness was average; it could have been better. Be aware that there are many insects since it's in the countryside! Also, the rooms are poorly insulated and lack privacy. In the morning, you'll be woken up around 5/6 AM at dawn!! Otherwise, the hotel restaurant is excellent, we absolutely loved it 😍 here are the photos. The prices were very reasonable, which saves you from having to go elsewhere. The staff is very kind.

I stayed 2 nights at Sapa Bamboo Hotel. The location was fantastic, with many restaurants and shops nearby. Some attractions such as Stone Church, Sapa Square, Sapa museum, Sun Plaza and Moana are also within walking distance. (5-15 minutes) The breakfast was delicious. Staff was helpful and courteous. Facilities are generally clean and well maintained except the toilets at the swimming pool need improvement. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel very much.

Room is big and clean, breakfast taste good, nearby by Sun Plaza which is abt 10 mins walk. The service of restaurant is very good and the manager is meticulous. Surprisingly a simple dish fried rice also taste very good but the fish was bit undercooked. Infinity pool is cool pity that the weather was too cold, couldn't enjoy the infinity pool. Massage skill is not very good, miscommunication between the reception and spa caused me wasting time (first time the receptionist told me ok to go at a timing but in fact fully booked, wasted my trip down and waited for 15 mins while nobody was around at the reception of spa; second time the masseur was late for almost 25 minutes) The masseur was having cough but did not wear mask.

Great experience with this hotel, bed is so comfortable. Nice breakfast as well... room is very clean.

Getting there on foot or by scooter is fine, but forget about it with a car! For the price, I can only give it a 2/5. Unfortunately, there was a lot of mold behind the sink, and the room was really damp – absolutely no ventilation. The bathroom had a fan, but it didn't help at all; the only effect was noise, and you couldn't turn off the light when it was on. The service was excellent, and breakfast was also good. If the room had ventilation, my rating would go up to 4/5, even with the price around $23.
