We stayed here in January 2012. It was very cold and rainy when we were there and it was very very cold in the hotel. We only got a small heater in the room which only gives direct heat. Therefore we could not warm our room properly and the whole room was damp of the cold and rain. We could... More

Part of our trip included Sa Pa. We stayed at the Royal Sa Pa as arranged by our tour opporator. The food was fantastic, and the highlite of the hotel; unfortunately that is where it ends. We found the staff to be young and likely inexperienced. They were more interested in playing computer games than in serving us. One meal... More

Any budget traveller looking for a great view in Sapa needs to stay at the royal. Ask for a corner room, as you will have a city view and a second patio with a view of the mountains. The staff were nicer than other trip advisor revers suggest, just be nice to them and they will be nice to you.... More

Stuff was polite and nice for us. We paid less (18$) than normal since we reserved room via net. Breakfast wasn't very impressive but for this money... More

The staff were very rude and quarrels with guests were heard! They made my trip in Sapa very unpleasant. I asked for a morning call but none received. Luckily I woke up myself on time. The room was not clean and little insects could be seen. I strongly advise tourists to think twice before choosing this hotel. More

I stayed here as part of a tour to sapa and was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is at the end of the main street and has a beautiful view of the mountains. There is a decent restaurant downstairs- nothing fancy but solid Vietnamese food. The rooms are big and mine had a balcony overlooking the mountains. The bathroom was not... More
