Why visit Sapa?
Before we dive into our hotel reviews let’s just take a moment to talk about Sapa. Why visit Sapa?
We really love Sapa. There are SO many things to do in Sapa. It is a pretty unique location in southeast Asia. You can clearly see Chinese influence on the culture, the Vietnamese culture – and yet this area retains its own unique culture and charm.
Sapa is a beautiful mountain hill town, located in the north of Vietnam close to the Chinese border. This lovely town is around 300 km northwest of Hanoi. There are also loads of stunning Sapa homestays, pretty rice paddies, beautiful trekking in mountains and valleys and breathtaking waterfalls.
Make sure you visit the beautiful Cat Cat village if you get a chance. Don’t miss the impressive and iconic mount Fanispan (you can take a cable car up this mountain). We absolutely love the tribal H’mong mountain culture and amazing food that you can try near Sapa.

Sapa can actually get very cold in the winter – technically it is still in the tropics but only just! And it is also mountainous. Sapa is seasonal with the coldest winter months being November – February. Some of the homestays and cheaper hostels can get pretty cold at times. Bring extra layers or an extra sheet. It is worth being prepared for a cold climate. ALSO be aware that wifi and mobile data can be quite limited in Sapa – even in some areas of the town. So be prepared to be digitally disconnected at times (actually this may be one of the advantages of Sapa!)
1 Sapa Capsule Hostel
Prices range between: £5 – £15
Maximum capacity: 2 people sharing a spacious double capsule
If you’re looking for budget Sapa hotels there are a few great options for you. The absolute cheapest hotel in Sapa is the Sapa capsule hostel. Capsule hotels may not be the first thing that you associate with a rural mountain town in North Vietnam. However, this unique hotel delivers all of the charm, novelty and fun of staying in a capsule hotel anywhere in the world.
The Sapa Capsule hostel is well located in the centre of Sapa town – it is around a 10 minute walk from the lake. The staff are very helpful and friendly with excellent local knowledge. Whether you want to rent a motorbike or find out the latest conditions on mount Fanispan – they can help you make the most of your trip. It is worth being aware that the power can be a little hit and miss – be prepared for the wifi to drop out in the night. Overall, if you’re looking for budget accommodation this is a great choice for you.
2 Sapa Tatu Homestay
Prices range between: £10 – £20
Maximum capacity: 4 people in the quadruple room (2 double beds)

This lovely little homestay provides picturesque, affordable and comfortable accommodation and an excellent location in Sapa town. It is around 10 minutes from the lake by walking.
The Sapa Tatu homestay is surrounded by lush gardens and they also offer amazing fresh local mountain food. Breakfast is included with rooms (always check when you book). Not bad for one of the cheapest places to stay in Sapa. Hot water can be a little limited at times – but you should still be able to get a hot shower. We would encourage you to book early as this really is one of the BEST budget options around. They also have a quadruple room – great for families on a budget!
3 Homestay 715
Prices range between: £15 – £30

Homestay 715 is another brilliant option at the budget end. This marvelous homestay offers a unique combination of stunning mountain views AND an excellent central location in Sapa town. It is situated on a hill on the west side of Sapa town (around 15 minutes walk from the lake and around 10 minutes from Sapa Central square).
There is a rooftop terrace with stunning views – and the rooms are also very comfortable and offer epic views too. They even offer a quadruple room (ensuite bathroom) – which makes this a great option for families. Homestay 715 includes a great breakfast too – but as ever double check this when you book.
4 Sapa Plum Homestay
Prices range between: £15 – £20
Maximum capacity: 4 people (ask them to add a mattress)
This lovely budget homestay is located a short walk from Sapa town on a hill to the north. We absolutely loved our stay here. It genuinely feels like a retreat. Don’t expect wifi and mod cons.
Surrounded by lush farmland and rolling hills, this really is a dreamy place to stay if you’re attracted to a simple and beautiful stay.
Rooms have bathtubs, en suite bathrooms and comfortable beds. We also love the pretty garden space here. The main downside. The closest food is in town which is around 10 – 15 minutes walk. Also we mentioned that there is not any wifi here and mobile signal can be limited too. So this really is the best place for a digital detox. BUT if you need to stay connected, then we recommend pick one of the other hotels closer to town.
