From the moment I arrived in the dark on a cold Winter's morning, after a 5 hour bus trip from Hanoi, I knew I was in good hands. Hoi, the manager who lives on-site, had left a note on the door with his phone number and came to open reception within a minute of my ringing. (Remember to get a sim card as soon as you arrive in Viet Nam. The country runs on mobile phones). The room was light, airy, clean and comfortable, with a littke kettle, fridge, coffee and biscuits at the ready. The bed was spacious and comfortable. While the staff were unobtrusive, everything was taken care of and whenever I returned from sightseeing, I was offered a cup of fresh green tea. The owner, Tom, runs Tom's Tours. There is a folder in the room and he is happy to provide more details. Just ask at receprion. Breakfasts are freshly made and generous and, although it may not be obvious at first glance, they do cook food on site for evenings which you can order from the menu out the front. I enjoyed the most delicious vegetarian spring rolls and ginger tea. The location of the hotel was just right for me. Being about 5 minutes walk up an easy incline from the busy city centre, it was above most of the noise, but not too much of an uphill hike from town. This is important because mostly walking is done on the verge of the roads and I watched young, fit-looking people struggling to get to their accommodation that was higher up. The price was great, and in fact, I was so happy that I booked an extra night. When I had an early departure, they even gave me a breakfast picnic of fruit, baguette and bottled water to have en-route. All in all, I can thoroughly recommend the Sapa Garden Hotel.
