Hoang Quan Hotel

Pros +

• We could walk to most of what we wanted from this location, still the rooms where not noisy and the rooms were spacious with a separate shower from the toilets. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and most speak great English.
• Staff super friendly and helpful! Made us feel very welcome. Hotel itself is clean and in a convenient location
• Compared to similarly priced rooms around Vietnam, Hoang Quan hotel was exceptional value. In fact, it was the best value hotel experience I have had in Vietnam after many trips and several months of accumulated travel. My room was very quiet, had 3 good sized windows that I could open for cross ventilation, good insulation so that heat and cold were not extreme. The room was much larger than you would find in rooms 3x this price. Floors, walls, and bathroom were all in excellent condition and working order. The tiled floors were level and well laid and super clean. The bed was king size or larger. Pillows, mattress, and linen are excellent quality, as were towels. There was ample hot water at a good temperature. The general state of repair of the building and common areas is excellent, and immaculately clean. The lift worked without fault. The managers grow bonsai and vegetables on the property, which adds to the understated elegance and homely ambience. The location is highly strategic for tourism. Within 300 meters there are two excellent vegan restaurants, the closest being "vegan heaven", which has two locations in Da Lat. Now the best I have saved for last. The hotel manager I dealt with is An Tam, a 30 something lady who provided me with the best service I have experienced in many decades of international travel. From her first messages she was prompt, clear, efficient, with the most cheery and uplifting nature. All my messages were answered within 15 minutes, her comprehension of English is outstanding, and she picked up on the nuances of Western humor. When prompted she answered all my queries with excellent advice. Particularly she recommended a business run by Leo who has motorcycle riders to take tourists around looking at the farms, temples, and monasteries of Da Lat. This was one of the best valued tours I have done in Vietnam. An made my stay at Hoang Quan hotel a home away from home.
