At the hostel, rooms include a wardrobe. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer, certain units at HeLLo Sapa Hotel also provide guests with a city view. At the accommodation every room is fitted with a desk and a flat-screen TV. This was one of the most welcoming hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay in Sapa smooth and enjoyable. They helped us arrange tours, booked our tickets to the Fansipan Legend and Glass Bridge, and provided clear guidance on how to make the most of our time there. After a long, tiring day and just before our sleeper bus to Hanoi, we asked if it was possible to take a quick shower. Without hesitation, they kindly arranged it for us, a gesture we truly appreciated. Their warmth and hospitality made a lasting impression.
